Wasn't this already ported?
Yes, but zx-81 uses a common interface/GUI across all his emus and I like it!
The other port has a less intuitive interface.
Actually they work pretty similar. The way you select the system and load disks etc are identical. I suppose that is because they come from the same source?
I was hoping one of these would be able to autodetect which 5200 ROM you load and select if it is a 16K or 32K cart on it's own. I always seem to pick the wrong one
This could be done with a database as there aren't many 5200 games.
Also ZX-81 do you think you could add a scroll wrap feature to the Atari menus(the blue menu screens)? I think that would be relatively "easy" right? It seems like the loading and disk stuff is at the beginning and the warm and cold boot are all of the way at the bottom, making you do alot of scrolling everytime to start a game. Since you have to do these things every time it would be quicker if you could just press "up" to get to the bottom options faster.
Also in the ROMs select screen a 2 column screen like Foft's emu would help if you have alot of ROMs.
I noticed a sound bug in a few games. Try the opening scene on Rescue on Fractalus. Compare that with Foft's emu. The opening "Lucasfilm" is a good test. Galaxians in 5200 seems to have some sounds getting garbled/distorted. It seems that the emu isn't doing game volume changes correctly and sometimes on some sounds it increases game volume too far with no in between steps resulting in static/distortion.
After exiting the emu, the next app I load will just lock up the GP2X with a black screen.
Right now this emu is my only choice for 5200 as Foft's is broke for D-pad use.
Maybe just me but I couldn't figure out how to start Defender in the 5200. I can set player/difficulty but "start" wasn't responding.
Thanks for porting another good emu.
