isnt there already a pinned one... i guess it was in the FAQ.... have seen it today... only that it was a little bit outdate.

also, the link to neogp32 is a link to the outdated version 0.1 ... like most downloads on gp32x sadly are you can find the newer version @ google or at gbax in one of their compos, i think it was the december-os9xgp-compo

 

[CrazyDesi]

maybe hes just a zodiac guy and doesnt actually have a gp32 and wants to test out something here :huh: .. and saying only what he heard.
no offence, just because i also see you on the zodiac boards alucard!

I'm not trying to be offensive. I just was wondering .

 

[DaveC]

dont use colem.
use fCOL32 !
(why are soo many people missing this emu? :unsure: )

I don't use fCol because it like runs at 3x speed! It is hard to play when everything is going 3 times faster than it should.

You forgot gigadrive

Just out of curiousity are you the same Alucard from ZodiacGamer?

Nope - that must be someone else. At first I tried to get the username "Turrican", but that wasn't available anymore, so I took one of my other favorite "gaming-heroes" as my synonyme.

About Castaway: I thought it didn't display the whole area in Turrican I+II - but then I tried it on Steem for PC and it was the same. I was used to the Amiga-version of Turrican. The Atari ST - version just isn't as good as the Amiga-version. So Castaway seems to be nearly perfect! Btw, which button is used for the grenade in Turrican on the Atari ST? Could it be it's not on the keyboard you can use by holding L?

About fgen32: I think I do own the most actual 166MHz-version of it. Sonic the Hedgehog is playable with sound but it doesn't run smooth. Maybe I really haven't got the most up-to-date version, yet. I'll follow the link posted above and try again.

About Zodiac: No, I don't own one. And I really do own a GP32 BLU. Is there a SuperNES-emulator for Zodiac that runs fullscreen+fullspeed+full sound? And where should I order one if I wanted one (I'm living in Germany)?

About GPAdvance: Why don't some developers concentrate on completing SuperNES-, Genesis-, PC-Engine- and e.g. Amiga-Emulators rather than trying to create a half-speed-GBA-emu (don't want to offend anyone with this question)? I don't think the GP32 is capable of emulating GBA at full speed - so why not concentrate on other great non-portable systems? I think that many GP32-users own a GBA and aren't that interested in having it emulated on the GP32.

Sonic runs smooth on 156 for me :blink:

Don't forget XRoar for the Dragon.

Apparently we should be able to get decent speed on GBA emulation, because it doesn't actually emulate the processor, which is the hardest and most processor intensive part to emulate. This leaves a lot more processor power available to the coder.

Moreover, the main coder (enf65) is working extremely hard on this (~8 hours a day) as part of his school project, so it is worked on a great deal more than most other emulators. Let's not forget this guy has managed to get 16 meg roms into 8 megs of RAM, which is pretty fantastic in itself. Great progress has already been made, so I don't think you should discount his work already.

Okay, it was GigaDrive which didn't run smooth. Now I tried fgen32 and it runs games without frameskip at 166 MHz at (approximately) full speed - but without sound (can play Sonic 2 now). With sound you need frameskip 1 (Sonic, R.o.Shinobi).

Great - fgen rocks! But it's a pity that Mega Turrican and Ninja Gaiden don't work (yet?).

@LHC: I appreciate the work of the developers.

 

[Wolfsclaw]

@Alucard: use "auto-frameskip" instead of switching it manually all the time - its worthy
you gotta try streets of rage 2 or phantasy star 4 - both with sound 132mhz fullspeed fs1/2

 

[Alucard]

Nah, that's too "rucklig" for me (don't know the english word - sloppy? jerky? unsmooth?). I don't like frameskip. And especially I don't like to play games that run smooth at times and then have frameskip 3 at some passages. Frameskip 1 is the maximum I can bear - but then all the time (without constantly switching to 0 and back).

 

[LHC]

Phantasy Star 4 works fine at 133 without frameskip with sound.

I've been playing some Gameboy/Gameboy Colour games on fGb and it seems (to me) to be running a lot of them slower than they run on the Gameboy itself (e.g. Driver, Grand Theft Auto, etc...) - especially when you "enlarge" the screen... (which you really need to do to at least 1.5:1.5 to be able to play most games).

Is there a GB emulator out there that has O'clocking enabled/does anyone know if rlyeh (sp?)has a new version with o'clocking, in dev?

<cheers>

i agree, fgb is a little slow on the latest GBC games (Megaman Xtreme I, II) and some other ones. Are there any emus that can o/c with the GB/C?

If your looking for a zodiac im ur best bet B)

I'm pretty satisfied with my GP32 at present. I don't need a PDA. But if the Zodiac would have perfect emulators for SuperNES and Amiga 500 I would consider buying one.

So - how's the state of emulators on Zodiac at present? How fast are they? Are they freely available?

 

[c0ncept]

For Megadrive emulation I find having fgen and gigadrive on my smc is the best thing to do, reason being is that fgen's compatibility is a little lower (no Wiz 'n' Liz, for example)

As for the SNES emulator, I'm pretty happy with it, especially seeing as som of the transparency issues have been sorted in the lateset release. Can't wait to finally get past the 1st dome in the future!

How come no one likes NesterGP? I know development has stopped for it, but it runs great for NES games and also supports save states. In fact I haven't found an incompatible game yet!

Cause LJGP runs better . I had nesterGP originally but after installing LJGP never looked back :/
