There are some issues with a few programs running on the new F200. Here is a place to list what you have tested and what the results were. Maybe this way any interested devs will know what is broke and what isn't.

So far from what I tested these are busted:

Stella Atari 2600 emu. - No work, screen goes black, loud buzz from speakers.

MAME - No work
 
Emulators I've tested that work (Most of these were quick tests, since I just got my F-200 today! :lol: I KNOW PocketSNES works fine, because I've been playing Chrono Trigger for a few hours on it):

PicoDrive
PocketSNES
RACE
AlexKidd2X
CPS2
GPFCE
GPSP
SquidgeSNES

Other than MAME, the only thing I've had issue with so far is GPQuake... to access ANYTHING on the main menu you need to click the joystick, and apparently pressing all 4 D-Pad buttons does not produce the same result. :(
 
PocketSnes v6 doesn't work. The menu works but when I load a rom it does the same thing mame does. Black screen and the awful buzzing noise. I tried loading the rom SuperMarioWorld and Street Fighter Alpha and both had the same result.
 
Anyone tried OutCast or Battlejewels? (purely minimal lib dependant there.)

ie: Is there a minimal problem? SDL problem? Might be able to narrow in on the specific blowups. (or is it known already what causes the problem?)

I tried ChronoTrigger in PocketSnes_v6 -- froze up on my f200
edit tested over 50 games with sound setting -> 22050 -- transparencies: on
all worked perfectly. i wish weaponloard worked on the gp2x though. that game doesnt work for pc or ps2 emus

No you don't. A or B should do it too. Can't remember which.

CraigAmp - Crashes after 2 seconds of playing a song. (I've no idea why yet)
Craig amp worked just fine for me.

For all of you with PocketSNES problems, it works fine as long as you don't play with sound. Don't ask me why...


PocketSNES works fine for me and WITH sound. It crashed when I tried to overclock too high but other than that is was fine.

I wish Stella worked, that was the best 2600 emu, and MAME was one of my favorites :( My MK2 is not up for sale just yet ;)

OK, I figured it out. I was using GPQuake from the Archives. It won't let you choose anything in the menu without the click of the joystick, so I downloaded 2XQuake from the Archives and moved my PAK files to it, and I was able to play. :D

Try adjusting the sound quality setting (and save it as global, for all games). That seems to be the origin for these incompatibilities.
