Some more tests... Beyond the Ice Palace: Works. Sound not very good. Bloodwych: Works. Frame counter says it's 50fps, but I find it a bit slow BMX Simulator: Works great! Bubble Bobble: The CPC hangs when you start a new game. Buggy Boy: Works great, only a bit of garbage in the borders. Bumpy: I h...

OK, you only need a resistor of ( 5-1.8 )/0.02 = 160 ohm in series with each LED. You can use a 150 or 180 one if you can't find 160 ohm resistors. I hope this pseudo schematic is clear enough: |-------o +5V GND o------| | | | | | 160 R | -------/\/\/\/\-------|>|------ | | | | | 160 A | -------/\/\...

Treasure is over-rated. I find most of their games to be all hype and no real substance to back it up. Playability is the key factor in Treasure games. No 50 page game manuals, no complicated controls or storylines, just plain games but with a extremelly careful learning curve. I love Treasure sinc...

First other bug I think I didn't report before. It's almost impossible to play with keyboard in most games because when you press a key, there's a noticeable latency and if you keep the key pressed, the emulator doesn't detect that you hold it. Ano now, some more tests: - After the war: Works great ...

I think the savegames are compatible, i.e. you can start the game with a NTSC savegame and continue with a PAL game (and even when you continue with a PAL game, the savegame still will be a NTSC one). I tried that a lot of time ago and worked. What you can't do is to start a Shenmue II game from a N...

I was under the impression that data CD's and music CD's had the same spacing throughout the disk. Music C...

Great ideas! Especially I consider extremely useful the idea of making some pre-built game engines, it would make it a lot easier to use. The easier it is, the more used will become. The main advantage of BOR is it's very easy, and that's the reason of all the mods. With pre built game engines you c...

I have teste it and this is what I've found: First of all, thanks for giving me credit! I don't deserve it! :oops: I have tested 3 more games. The speed improvement is great! And the sound is a lot more accurate (but still needs improvement). Now the games: - Gryzor (alias Contra) works great, fulls...

WOW, REALLY IMPRESSIVE... Too bad I can't help with it, it looks like you have considered a lot more things that I could ever think of... If you finish this and provide also a level editor, this could give a huge impulse to the DC homebrewn, just look all mods that are coming for the limited BOR and...

Another thing to consider is if you have used your DC to run homebrewed apps, the drive can get stressed by reading certain parts of the disc. I've heard that it will shorten the lifespan of your system to run emulators and homebrewed apps, but that is only what I've heard and have not experienced ...
