Tasks done:
- Recompiled with GCW0 toolchain
- Deleted all copyrighted stuff **
- Removed chipset and cpu references
- Removed not necessary menu options (volume, clock frequency, ...)

[2014-06-01]
- Updated help.txt and background images (thanks to @Gab1975)
- Splash screen problem partially fixed
- Unified emulator menu button implemented. You can press Power slider or Start+Select to enter menu (more info here)
- ROMs last used path saved in new config file
- On screen error messages if bios not found

name for the bios files?
all 3?

Are the BIOS files required?
I assume that for these old devices there is an HLE of the BIOS or open-source re-implementations, like on MSX.

I made a quick test... some ROMs don't run while others run very well (I think it's an intrinsic compatibily issue of this emu)... in the main menu the background is black (probably you didn't set background.png correctly)... for convenience, I re-uploaded the PNGs (I made a little change in the icon "dingux-int.png")

Thanks a lot for your work!

sega zaxxon logo screen?

The SEGA Zaxxon logo screen isn't a PNG... it could be an automatic boot screen which appears when the emulator is initialized...

OPK updated

yes, background not showing
runs some games after reboot

sega zaxxon logo screen?

I've looking at emulator code (it's a bit hard to follow breadcrumb). I think program preloads game.bin on initialization process. If you press SELECT at menu you will see rom is actually ready.

I've managed to display splash screen followed by a black and then menu screen. It's not perfect, but better than Zaxxon option

sometimes you have to reboot to load another game
or it crashes the emulator

for dracula how do you start the game?  managed to do it once by accident but now it appears i can only change between 1 or 2 player and difficulty options.  it just stays on the 'title' screen

------

ok got it now.  had to first choose 1 player, difficulty setting, then 8 on the keyboard and it starts 

I was just about to explain you how to start it

Updated opk

Can you be more specific so I can try to reproduce the same situation and try to solve it?

Thanks a lot for the update!

PS: in the next update you should use the "new" help.txt file, the current help.txt file is old and it has the wrong references (if you need, I can re-send you the correct help.txt)

I'll move this thread to releases soon. I'll add your updated help file then.
