SDLMAME News

Thanks to the excellent detective work by LDESNOGU, my current dev build of SDLMAME works. Sound is distorted and speed is too slow to be useful, but it's progress. More news when i have something to report.

Thanks sorry i have fixed post

O.k so do you think theses will go back into the extras once testing has been done or have theses been fully removed?

So you do not recommend using theses at the moment?

Great stuff! Maybe you could try Pac Man or other simpler targets for emulation. Pac Man uses just Z80 3MHz and some Namco sound chip so it should run full speed.

There's a new emulator being worked on for cps/cps2.

hmmm....haven't got an n900 yet D: ...but will get one sometime in the future...couldn't help but recognize the "need for diagonals" issue...i have a solution...why not bother the producers to implement macro's into the emulators. For those who don't know what a macro is, it is the option to assign a multitude of commands to one button press, for example you could assign the command down, forward, X to the enter key (for those familiar with street fighter pressing the enter key would then result in a hadouken from ryu)...because n900 has a qwerty keypad this feature would be extremely useful, think about it, you'd be able to set your own diagonals with this feature. The macro feature is already implemented in the kawaks emulator on windows.

Another useful feature would be the ability to save and load key configurations in seperate .ini files, and have them 'automatically' or 'conveniently' loaded for an assigned rom when it starts.

Is there any way to load a save file from VisualBoyAdvance? I have game saves from ages ago from there that I wanna bring over to the N900 and play again but it didn't work for me.

Waoh, the Emulators are back in the repository!

Which repo are they in? I can't find them in Testing :-(

Some already landed in Extras, others are in -testing.

Is it possible to have the front page updated?
