Huh? G&W games? Are you kidding me?

 

[zohnnyg]

i think they are fun

 

[Nintendo]

Fair enough.

 

[DaMummy]

first off, i dont think you understand how the whole open source thing and porting works. 2nd that site has roms and isnt supported on these forums, how SONY didnt catch this is beyond me...reported

 

[Dark_Link]

besides he could own them on the old system like some of us

Beyond you? Here's the reason (every time I clicked on the link I got the image shown below).

We don't have an emulator that will play actual Nintendo G&W ROMs, but there are some alternatives if you're into that style of game.


This for starters: http://zx81.zx81.fre...s/441-guid.html (do read the readme, control mapping is a bit eh)


You might also try running some GP2X titles in GINGE:


http://dl.openhandhe...0,0,0,0,37,2088 (runs nicely, this is a really good game! Ruckage )


http://dl.openhandhe...0,0,0,0,36,2172 (started but didn't seem to work)


http://dl.openhandhe...0,0,0,0,37,1814 (didn't start)


Discovering new things myself here! I'm sure there's more, but my search-fu is failing me.

Also... there is no such thing as 'game and watch roms'... Game and Watch games don't have any binary data... they are just logic circuits.. only thing people can do and have done is create simulators of them.. a more comlex thing would be to recreate the circuitry and simulate that...

 

[MarioPandio]

As Gruso said, we already have a version of some of them combined, by Hitnrun (though the repo version is older at 3.0.0 http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=gameandwatch).


Is there any way people (or the OP) can add more titles to that?


Other than that, cheers for the other links Gruso, should be good if they run with GINGE

how about this PND which already includes some game and watch games.

Edited my post with test results. Plenty of good gaming there!


@lemondragon - thanks for the clarification.

 

[Hitnrun]

Yes there is the simulator I made using the source code from Madrigal, but these kind of games cannot be really emulated, only simulated.


It is a generic engine for doing these kind of games, so if you have the C++ knowledge and time, you can do your own simulation.

@SONY - You might want to remove the URL from that screenshot! :lol:

 

[Blue Protoman]

I know of that site already.

 

[MarioPandio]

On a similar style, I wondered if any of the old TomyTronic 3D games were / or ever could be simulated?

Or even

[Prometheus]

^ Ooh, absolute classics. Do you remember Tomy's "Caveman", too, by any chance? I've never played anything like that since.

 

[Blue Protoman]

Munchman actually has a simulator out there, though in another name.

 

[zohnnyg]

sorry about the link to the website i didnt know i couldnt. so is it possible for me to make a pnd outta one of madrigals executable games? it would be for my personal use.

 

[gruso]

No. They are Windows executables. Source code would be required for a port.
