Games that do not work on PC Engine

[phoda]

I tried to play 1941 and Darius on the PCE and those games don't work. They either lock up on startup or show no graphics / graphic glitches.
Does anyone else experience the same thing? Is there a compatibility list for games on GP Engine?

1941 and Darius plus are SuperGrafx games which are not currently supported. If a game doesn't work try changing the ROM type in the main menu. If that doesn't work chances are you're Roms aren't compatible, I can't get Darius alpha to work. I am currently working on compatability list for my new GP32 web site, so any feedback on what works/doesn't would be helpful.

Darius should work as the original card was supergrafx optimised not a actual supergrafx card, it worked ok on the normal pc engine - if you check the net there are several versions of the rom floating about !!

1941, granzort, battleace and ghouls and ghosts (plus a few unpronouncable and unplayable japanese games) are the only supergrafx games.

I have a trouble with Bonk's Revenge [ a pc kid sequel ]. Cant see the actual game character, although everything else is fine. (not that i've been able to play it much)

Take a look at "Poll: top games that run well on gpengine" in this section (GP32Xtreme Board ->Software Support ->GPengine)

Apparently the Japanese versions run better than the US ones (apparently PC-Genjin is the Japanese name for Bonk).

However I don't own a GP32 yet so I'm just going on others info!

I can't get Street Fighter II to work anyone got a version of this that works?

 

[jlebrech]

Me too, all i get is blocky and mucky graphics and i get the same for r-type part II. I'm sure its a rom problem as the emulator is almost perfect.

If you are here Black can you tell me what your emu doesnt do at the moment??

apparently PC-Genjin is the Japanese name for Bonk

I thought it was the Japanese name for PC-Kid...

Or are they the same thing?

 

[EvilDragon]

Yep. PC-Kid = Bonk's Adventure.

Has anyone managed get Populous to work on GPengine???.

After loading Populous into GPengine the game seems to freeze when it gets to the main game screen. I have tried the various rom modes, Usa, Japan etc to no avail.

I`ve had a look through the GPengine forum and there has been no mention of populous in any of the threds, Let alone whether someone has tried it or got it to work.

Am i the only one???

Street fighter 2 doesnt work no one can get it to its a problem with the emu :angry:

I got SF2 to work.. it just has some gfx issues. characters are blocks, etc.. but I fired off Ryu's hadoken ... And I haven't tried Populous on the GPEngine, but the C64 version and (Either AtariST or MSX version, can't remember) works fine. I just kicked the Computer's A$$ yesterday on the C64 one.
