Q About The New Gamegear Emu On Drmdb5

[gamefan999]

I am so glad to se this, since I was a GG owner for years and I am more familiar w that system than any other handheld (See, I was a color LCD maven way back in the day!)

My Q is, why does the fullscren mode have a forced stretch aspect ratio? It doesn't seem fair that we are forced to choose between a tiny, 1/4 of the screen OAR, or fullscreen stretched. How about a fullscreen OAR, like the Gnuboy does so well? That would be ideal.

Thanks to the coder(s) on getting GG emulation on the GP! I hope to see it big and beautiful, and looking like it ought to!

Well, in this world, you get what you paid for. You didn't pay anything, and yet you have a GG emulator. I'd say your ahead of the game already.

You are forced, because Reesy is teh Evil!

I mean, what other explanation could there be? :huh:

You could also try AlexKidd2x. An emulator for the sms and the gg, it runs also really good, I can't remember abuot the screen size, but maybe it's better there. You should try it, it emulates the sms and the gg on the same level as drmd does.

Actually AlexKidd2x emulates the sms/gg better than DrMD.

Omg, he's on! Just kidding , but how is it better? :huh:

 

[Aninhumer]

I'm guessing that's in terms of accuracy, not speed. I haven't used AlexKidd2x so I can't really comment though.

For now?

It's actually pretty fast, too. That said, I haven't tried the SMS/GG emulation in DrMD, so I can't compare them. AK2X is a pretty good emu though.

 

[DaveN]

I haven't tried the drmd sms & gg emulation and that just because I haven't got any problems with alexkidd. It runs all the games I've played at fullspeed ( two or three close to it ). If you'd like to play sms and gg on your gp2x, alexkidd2x is the way to go for now. I don't know about Puck2099 is still working on it, but I hope so.

Thanks for your useful reply! It works as you indicate, and fullscreen is in OAR, as it ought to be. Thanks for the info.


An aside I have - I think the file archive on this site is a little disorganized. I was totally unaware of the "AlexKidd" emu, because it is listed under "SMS" which doesn't jump right out as "Sega"; whereas, the *other* Sega emu is listed under its name, "DrMD". So, there's no clear way to distinguish where emus of what system will be found.

But I'm getting them for free, so I should just be grateful, right?! ;^?

This is part of why I keep saying the name should be changed. AlexKidd2x sounds like a bad fangame imitation of Alex Kidd for SMS, not an emulator .. I wouldn't call a MegaDrive/Genesis emulator 'Sonic2x' or an NES one 'Mario2x'.

Then again, who are we to say what the author chooses for his/her emulator name. Remember Nesticle, Genecyst and Callus? Some messed up names there. AlexKidd2x is not nearly as bad.

I think I would name an emulator I wrote to something f'ed up like "My Cock" or something to that effect. Imagine the rediculous sounding conversations that would occur:

"I was playing with my cock the other day when I noticed a glitch..."

Haha!

There was a SMS/GG emulator for the GP32 called Masterlator. h34r:

"Hey, I was playing with My Cock the other day and I was getting a silky 60 FPS, it was great! Now if I could only get that human-USB-interface I've been wanting so badly, everything would be heavenly!"

But seriously, the name of an emu is really incedental, if the file archive was organized by "system emulated" instead of just, "the first letter of the emu, or the header the author includes, or the system the author tacks on the front, or whatever else it ends up being". Just a little too arbitrary for me!

But then again, I haven't paid for any of this, so I should be grateful! ....whatever the circumstances. At least I don't have to go looking under rocks for emus, haha! Now that would be hard work.

Actually, someone did that (similar) a few years back. they released a Neo Geo Pocket Emulator called R.A.P.E, which stood for 'Rather A Pokemon Emulator' (god, or the author, only knows why). Anyway, the uproar over the acronym (rape, as listed above) caused the emulator to be quickly withdrawn.

There was then another emulator (available on the GP2X, among others, no less), this time of the NGPC, called R.A.C.E (Rather A Cardfighter Emulator, again, you'd have to ask the author why the strange name). I have no idea if that is related with original project in any way though.

So if you dod release your 'My Cock' emulator, expect a right uproar which will likely cause My Cock to go the way Rape did.

And before you think what I'm saying is just a big joke (except for the My Cock part, that is just for fun), while some of the info may be not exactly correct as I can't find any info about it, I do remember about the R.A.P.E. emulator and subsequent uproar a few years ago.
