After a while, do more games become available to play? I would really like to play the Dungeons and Dragons games on my GP2x.

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

It's possible, yes. Vobbo has to up the compatibility within the next releases.

So Vobbo is working on implementing cps2 emulation into MAME?

This is great. I come home from dinner, and BAM mame. But I think I already have 2.4 hmmm...

Very soon now - I promise!

Nice release Franxis - thanks!

 

[TyBO!]

Woohoo! Thanks Fraxis, it's indeed a great release.

I wonder why the MMU hack isn't working though. I'm sure that would give things a nice boost.
