Tiger Game.com Emulator?

[Jaw]

hi, i've seen some screenshots of tiger game.com games, and they look fairly good (fighters megamix!!) whats the chances of an emulator being written/ported to gp2x (or gp32 for that matter)

it looks about as powerful as a gameboy, and has some pda features by the looks of it, but then again i've never seen/used one and have no idea if there's existing emulators out to port or whatever.

Um ... is there any source code? If not ... you're beat.

​

looks arent everything you know.

i actually own one, and i can tell you that none of the 20 games made for it are worth coding an emulator for.

A lot of the games were slow and buggy and not worth playing IMHO. Does a PC emulator exist for this thing?

 

[Gruntfuggly]

Yup - the game.com is a pile of rubbish - however, the games might actually be more playable under emulation - the screen on the game.com just blurred and dissappeared with any movement...

I doubt you'll ever see an emulator though...

 

[Jaw]

ahh well, worth a punt. i may pick one up as they are worthless, just to see what the games are like.

Prepare to be dissappointed. Still, it's a little bit of gaming history. Keep one in a box under the stairs like I do - maybe it'll be worth something one day...

Didn't it have a touch screen?

IIRC, yes. But I may be confusing it with something else.

 

[Gruntfuggly]

Barely - the screen was divided into 64 (I think) squares which could be touched with a stylus. You couldn't do freehand drawing or handwriting, etc. on it....

Now if an emulator were coded that improved the refresh rate of the screen, then a few of the games would be worth playing... otherwise no...

I really enjoyed Batman & Robin and The Lost World on my Game.com, even with the blurry screen. Those games had a lot of variety in them. I could see myself playing those two games very often if they were played on a screen as good as the GP2X's...

But not Duke Nukem. That was just upsetting to play.

I have never really payed any interest in the tigergame.com handheld, but now that i look at some screenshots of its games it actually starts to get me fascinated a little... Black and white screen, greyshades but still a duke nukem 3D shooter, and a fighting game with 3d backgrounds... actually quite neat.
