Castaway/GP 9.2 Released!

[skeezix]

Nice work!

I would like to do something like that, but I haven't the spare cycles.. ie: I could put somethign together in a few weeks perhaps, but not anytime soon.. got my hands full with workign Castaway over, not to mention the half dozen apps that pay my bills

I could make a simple 30 line perlscript that takes a gamename and compatability and "funliness" rating, and a genre, perhaps.. but doing something where you search out a game already in the DB and then add detail to it.. too much work in my very finite free time

Unless you've got anythign you could donate

Jeff,

yes.. I was meaning that I could build the site to be just like that for your emu... Since its database driven.. I will just need to add it in, and then you will be a different" EmuID than the PSX one. But what I could really use, is a txt file that just has each game on its own line.. I can parse it from there to get the database up.

Cool; if you want a listing of most games, you can get one here:

http://www.codejedi.com/castaway/reference...-games-list.txt

I used that as a foundation for my master stgames.txt files which are much more complete, but harder fot you to parse.

For the best list, get stgames17.txt from my site, then split it up by semicolon ; to get the individual games. Then sort and uniqify to toss out dupes, since games appear on multiple disks.

That woudl be very cool; let me know if/when you've got a link and I'll link over to it. Way cool

Jeff,


Try here:

Castaway Game Compatibility List
http://www.phantomtech.info/compatibility/...ult.asp?EmuID=2

It will probably have a bug or two.. but nothing we can't fix. .. Anyway. I just did one for Shadow of the Beast. I haven't built a UI yet for adding new Version Names (9.2, etc.)

Let me know if I missed anything. . And that goes for anyone who checks this site out and adds some game compatibility reports.

Cool!

I linked to it from my main GP32 site.

IS this somethign you could run off reports once in awhile (text file) to send me, for my own amusement, info backup for the website if your site is down, etc? (ie: I could add a "old backup" link which shows the .txt file you've last mailed to me, or something?)

Thanks a lot. Thats pretty swank

you're welcome. I haven't thought about that back up idea. but I have thought about doing a once daily generation of a Print Friendly version. Just simple table, text.. that would probably suffice. I tried to generate the print friendly version on the fly w/ the PSX one (only 1230 games or so) and it took 30 seconds to pull all the data for every game.. so I will do that once a day, and output it to a simple html page that will list every game. If you have any ideas that might be better than that, feel free to ask away.... and what is nice, is if you have two people to rate a game, w/ different results... it averages them on the main listings page.

Cool, that woudl be perfect; make it a simple tyext output, and then I can suck it down with wget or fetch or the like on a cronjob (a scheduled job), and have it backed up on my site. That'd be perfect.. automatic on both our sides

Very cool thing you've got going there.

found a problem with the new input method. pressing SELECT and then R to get to frameskip=91, then press L and it brings the keyboard up as opposed to setting frameskip=1. surely L should be context sensitive?
