Goddamn, psj3809! I still go with the fucking dumbass comment. <_<
I DO NOT HATE ANY EMULATORS, I'M JUST NOT INTERESTED IN THE OLDER ONES!
Is this concept too hard for you to comprehend or something? Your constant mistinterpretation is pissing me off because it is getting other people all riled up against me. Let me just restate everything that I've said and let's base EVERY post after this based on these points, not psj3809's misinterpreted points:
- I love SNES; it is probably the only console that I would donate my own money for (But, at the moment, I'm not satisfied enough with it to the point where I would want to donate some of my own money (Keep in mind that I'm only 15 also; I don't have as much money as you older guys to donate).
-DrMD is a WONDERFUL emulator, and I am amazed at its incredible speed with sound. But, I don't think it is perfect, because many of the games that I would play a GENESIS emulator for either have music that isn't going at full speed or have missing sounds. Some examples from the top of my head:
Kid Chameleon - Slow sound, many missing SFX, and weird screeching/water flowing (Or something like that) sound.
Sonic 2, 3, & Knuckles and 3D- I'm sure everybody is already aware of this one, but sound playback is really slow, and these sonic games are at the very top of my list of GENESIS games that I want to play on my GP.
Streets of Rage 3 - Music playback isn't full speed, and, obviously because it hasn't been emulated yet, all the voices are missing, which are supposed to be VERY common in the game, like when you do your Specials or rushing attacks, or when you kill somebody. And ALL the hittng SFX are gone. So, its all music playing kind of slow and the sound of your fisting going against the air with the occasional thump of a body falling on the ground.
Sonic Spinball - I think this games might have the slowest playing music of them all, which is quite a disappointment because I loved its music and couldn't wait to listen to it again on the go on my GP. Its also missing SFX, so its pretty much only very slow playing music.
Again, I DO NOT HATE DrMD FOR THESE REASONS, I JUST THINK ITS NOT PERFECT BECAUSE OF THESE REASONS, AND I KNOW IT'S TOO EARLY TO CALL IT PERFECT, WHICH IS WHY I THINK THESE PROBLEMS WILL BE FIXED IN THE FUTURE. JUST IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING, I USE DrMD A LOT, NEARLY EVERY TIME I USE MY GP.
-I'm not interested in the older games because they are too old for me. Let's see if you can comprehend this concept. The fact is, you grew up on the Speccy, that right there makes your point invalid because the Speccy's GFX/SFX/GAMEPLAY are more associated with these older consoles than the NES/SNES would be, which is what I grew up on. Get it? There's a MUCH bigger difference between the NES/SNES to something like the Colecovision, than between the Speccy to the Colecovision. And I do realize that like 10 years from now, kids will be thinking that the SNES really sucks and has shitty GFX, SFX, etc., and they will start to think of the current next gen consoles as what they grew up on and what they would like to have emulated on the go. It is inevitable. I accept that it has to happen and I accept that it happend to me. Now you need to accept that its inevitable and that it is only natural. And I think you can say that you have no interest in something if you have seen it in action and seen its gameplay, graphics, and sound. And also because you realize how much time it would take to find all the roms for these older consoles and how long it would take to find the good ones (Or try ones that seem like good ones, throwing on your GP and try them out, then delete it if you find out that its not too good, and then having to do the whole process over again).
-AGAIN, I DO NOT HATE ANY EMULATORS, I'M JUST NOT INTERESTED IN THE ONES FOR OLDER CONSOLES (I DO HAVE fMSX ON MY GP SIMPLY BECAUSE OF RALLY-X). PLEASE TRY TO REALIZE THIS!!! I DON'T ANY EMULATORS!!! I USE A LOT OF THEM AND I LIKE THEM A LOT. I OFTEN USE GPENGINE, GPVGB, DrMD, fMSX, AND LJGP32. I'VE PUT IN MORE HOURS PLAYING GPVGB THAN I HAVE PUT INTO PLAYING ALL SNES EMULATORS COMBINED, SO YOUR COMMENT ON HOW IT SEEMS LIKE I ONLY LIKE THE SNES EMULATOR AND HATE EVERY OTHER ONE IS FALSE.
-I'm completly aware of how hard it is to code, and I'm not undermining any of the coder's efforts here. This is just another misinterpretation by psj3809. And in case you are wondering, I do plan on coding for the GP32, most likely this summer, but I'm too busy with school to find time to learn C++ again.
-What you need to realize is that MANY, and I mean MANY, people were being tricked into buying the GP thinking that it could emulate MANY consoles perfectly. And you need to realize the time period when this happend. It happend LONG before you became a member on GP32x. Back then, there wasn't too much info about the GP32, and so there were a lot of misconceptions about it, and, unfortunately, they were everywhere. So, many got tricking into buying it. I first started looking into the GP32 in around FALL of '02. That was quite a long time ago, and since then, the GP32 has become a lot more popular and its capabilities have become a lot clearer across the internet, making people being tricked into buying it very rare, which is probably why you find the whole idea funny.
-ALL I WAS TRYING TO SAY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WAS THAT I FEEL THAT A LOT OF OUR OLDER EMULATORS (LIKE FOR NGPC, GB/GBC, PC ENGINE, etc.) SHOULD GET MORE ATTENTION TO CODERS AND THAT WE SHOULD START SPENDING MORE TIME ON FIXING UP THESE OLDER EMULATORS INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PUSH THE GP32's LIMITS WITH THINGS LIKE MAME OR GBA EMULATORS. I AM NOT EXPRESSING ANY HATE TO ANYTHING, INCLUDING CODERS AND EMULATORS!
*awaits for next misinterpretation*
