Emulator requests thread

It would be nice to have a Pc-Engine emulator with scaling and vsync .

I use Temper, it works great for me.

I haven't been able to Play CD games with it yet. Plus It's not officially ported.

Yeah, I was going to say TG-16 / PCEngine, but I was afraid of getting flamed because I saw another thread with a dev saying that it was "on its way".

So, how difficult is it to get Temper running on the Zero? (Also, what is vsync, and why do I want / need it?)

[tekkaman]

I found an opk posted in this forum somewhere. Don't remember the link. It works but no CD support. I read there's CD support if you use the Dingoo version. But I haven't tried it. Vsync prevents tearing when there's lots of movement. If you try the Fplayer for the Zero that is an example  of tearing when you don't have Vsync.

I play TG-16 CD games, they work perfectly.  But I remember it took some doing to get them working.  and I use the Zero version. not the dingoo.

There's no released source code for Temper

Mednafen has the most accurate PC Engine emulation and is open source  . It even has a faster PCE core that is slightly less accurate if the normal one is too much for the Zero. There was one attempt at porting it here, but it didn't get very far along. I'm sure a good port with a settings GUI would take a decent bit of work.

Perhaps I didn't put the files/bios in the correct place. It's always difficult for me to get them where they belong.

I think if you read through the thread I linked to, it mostly explains how to get it working.

And, if mednafen was ported, we would have PC-FX emulation as well

It already has been, it runs slooow.

I don't consider it a true port since it hasn't been optimized for the Zero.

[tekkaman]

I don't know where to put the syscard in Temper. Is that the bios ?

[fiver]

I don't consider it a true port since it hasn't been optimized for the Zero.

IIRC, one of the devs around here claimed that getting Mednafen optimized for the Zero would require a major rewrite. It would be nice if it could be done, though, since Mednafen is my favorite emulator. (And it has PSX support!)

As well as Virtual Boy. That, PSX, and PC-FX are three systems I would like to play on the Zero (I would also like Game.com, Mega Duck, and Super A'can, but those won't happen anytime soon.) Sega Saturn would be nice to have as well, but I am impartial about whether I play it or not on my Zero.

This was recently ported to the Pandora and it was previously ported to the PSP and Androidas well. It's a Sharp X68000 emu and after playing the Pandora version I have to say it's pretty impressive. They have pixel perfect arcade versions of some games on there such as SFII, Rygar, Strider and Castlevania. That's just a few but there are over 3000 games for the system.

I already compiled and tested it and it works fine but the performance was too slow. I've not had a chance to do any further work on it yet hence no news.

I see, well I'm happy just knowing that it's on your radar. Hopefully you can get it to a playable level at some point but even if you can't thanks for trying!

An OPK version of the C64 emulator Vice would be great, particularly if one of the face buttons could have the Up direction additionally mapped, which would make playing platformers and driving games much better (where up is jump/accelerate).

Agree. It's on my todo list.

[superfenix2020]

Are there any plans for Sharp X68000 emulator?
Are there any plans for CPS3 emulator?
Are there any plans for Sega Saturn emulator?
Are there any plans for NesterJ emulator?

Thanks
