A couple of really short youtube vids to check it out: PC Kid and R-Type II[url=http://foros.dciberia.net/viewtopic.php?p=229#229]LTK @ DCiberia forums[/url] (partially translated) wrote:Status:
- Loads games in *.pce format
- Good sound
- Medium speed, but playable
- I still haven't got the chance to try the game isos in cdrom, I get an error from dctool (program to load things on Dreamcast); maybe burning a CD wouldn't give that error, but I still expect to fix it. The PC compilation loads, I've tried Dracula X and it works.
- Rtype II looks good, it uses a different resolution; on previous tests it gave me trouble.
What's next:
- Testing isos
- Adding a GUI to make testing easier
- Trying more games
- Speed
- ... blah blah blah

PCECast WIP released
LTK has posted at DCiberia the current status of his PC Engine emulator, and he says that hopefully it'll "get somewhere" in a short (or not so long) term.

THIS Version------------------------------------------------------
Speed is good but not perfect, sometimes the emu could slow down for a while, for this reason I recomend disabling CD audio.
you can get more speed disabling sound, but you can only do it one time for running emu and after loading any game.
Many option in Gui are disabled or unoperative, as soon as I had more time this would be solved.

to be honest I think Bonk runs great however I haven't tried dracula X. Soldier blade, without sound it runs well but that game has a great sound track so that kills the point. Overall though this is the BEST Tg16 emulator out on DC right now, it runs very,very playable (I can play a Really playable SPLATTERHOUSE on my DC woot!) the sound in games is slow but tolerable.DaMadFiddler wrote:I am curious to hear how this stacks up to Quzar's last release, both in terms of speed and in compatibility (though...to be honest, all I'll probably use it for are Bonk, Soldier Blade, and Dracula X). Anyone compared notes yet?
last thing I want to point out is if it can be sped up a notch, I'd be completely happy. However the way it is now,HELL YEAH WELL DONE!!!!

So, is there no chance of this emulator playing original Turbo CD discs? I remember Quzar saying that it was something he had a lot of trouble with in HuCast as well. He said it it was some osrt of file system thing, but I didn't think Turbo CD games use any kind of special file system.
A playable TurboGrafx emulator is a great thing to finally have on the Dreamcast after all these years and all thanks for LTK for finally doing it, but being able to play the original games like we can with the Neo Geo CD emulators would be the real nazz.
...word is bondage...

well if the speed of the sound is kicked up and speed kicked up a couple more notches then PCEcast will take over my VC wants. I really want a playable version of soldier blade. I CAN"T FIND A FUCKER WII POINT CARD!!!!! I don't have a checking account so that does me no good. *cries*
