I have Sparcade installed on my P150 laptop - along with Retrocade, HAZE and m72.gif)

Just out of curiosity - did any of you buggers read my old Retrogaming News posts but just not comment on them?

Registered 11 years agoIs playing PSone games off the original discs on your pc legal or illegal in this country?
None of this grey area nonsense please. -
If it's off your original CDs then I'd say it's fine. It's the legitimacy of the software they're most worried about, after all.
Only a wanky corporate lawyer would argue with that -

I have less problems with this over ePSXe. Plus I can map an XBOX pad to this fully. Whereas I have problems with the available ePSXe plugins.
Not read the whole thing yet but a fantastic post, good work db!
May I nominate pSX Emulator though as a userfriendly PS1 emulator?
ePSXe also has problems playing video at the correct speed, pSX is fine.IT Monkey and StickyPiston Minecraft Hosting Support

Registered 11 years agoAh, that explains it, I'd stopped posting around that time because of work and stuff.
It's actualy quite disapointing that it's only us old farts that are interested in playing games that are older than most of te people who post here. hence me only putting recentish stuff into this thread.
One mention of C64s and Speccys and people eyes glaze over

And you can't really expect the youngun's to be too interested when the biggest part of getting into emulation is recapturing fond memories of when they appeared the first time around.

I might start to do my Retrogaming News posts again; only stopped because it seemed like a lot of effort for only one or two comments most of the time :s
It's a bit scary when I'll be pissing about on my Ngage when I'm at my inlaws and at least one sister-in-law wasn't even born when most of the games I have installed were written :S -
The only issue I have with pSX is that it's a bit dodgy with PAL games sometimes and lack of plugin support means no advanced graphics features, so it doesn't look as good as ePSXe. Brilliant for newcomers, but anyone who's used to tweaking emus and knows plugins, stick to ePSXe. ePSXe is slightly faster as well.

Registered 11 years agoOh, I played on a spectrum alright, it's just that I really wouldn't want to go back and play any of the games now, because they all sucked.
Retro for me is my yearly playthrough of Monkey Island 1 and 2, topped with a bit of Sonic the Hedgehog and some C&C.
Then I go back to my nice, modern RPGs -

I was wondering if it's possible, via the wonders of emulation, to play your PAL games at full NTSC speed... -

Old classics DO hold up remarkably well, as demonstrated on my Ngage. Anyone who thinks games are automatically crap from pre 1990 is Dead Inside

It would probably be down to the graphics plugin you'd use, sync to monitor refresh rate perhaps. Allthough thinking about it, I think it'll play according to the speed set by the region. So if you chose US or Japan, it would run at 60 frames (not that any games ran that fast on the original hardware).+1 / Like / Tweet this post

Oi, read my post! ;p
Simply upping the framerate doesn't work in my experience, it had to be 'booted' into the mode you want, usually via a patch -

Registered 9 years agoIt's also probably worth mentioning the PC Engine emulator - Magic Engine. Some great games on that machine.

Is Magic Engine still shareware? I remember earlier versions of the software needed an unlock code, anyway.

I presume that disabling the "Clear Saturn memory automaticly" option under the config tab doesn't do anything for you? -

So far as I'm concerned if the software is original they can shove all of that up their corporate backsides -
A quick point about SSF, you need a CPU that has SSE2 (or was it SSE3?) instruction set support to get it to run. I think it may work on Athlon 64s, but an Athlon XP ain't good enough
