PC Engine Emulator for Amiga?

[CU_AMiGA]

Hello,

Are there any half decent PC Engine emulators available for Amiga?

Cheers,

I remember there being one that looked like AmiMasterGear, but I could never get it to work properly.

there is one for ppc users , and its brilliantly done! , its called DARCNES , you can find it on the amidog site..

one niggle tough, NO SOUND!!!

other than that... every game i tested worked fine and its fast even..

cheers

@vincent,

Yeah. I tried that one as well. I got that crash requester.

@lempkee,

Cheers dude! I will try that one in a day or too. But no sound! :-(

Just tried out DarkNES. It okay i suppose, but i would like to see a much better emulator on the Amiga. I don't wan't too knock this one too much as it's pretty good, but the stuff like flickery graphics and sound could be better. I played OutRun and Bomberman '94 and it was awesome! :-) Can't wait until i get me a GP32! :-)

i always mix between the names DARCNES and DARKNESS , anyway i dont get flickery gfx , never.. its fluid here but i dont get sound but heh i can live for now

dood, i would like to remind you about the universal gui for emus on miggy..

its called nostalagia  , check it out , has LOTS of options and tweakers to gain performance etc

go and download it right away... , its not on aminet i guess but its on the website to the game dev team of voodoo wars etc..

(sorry , dont remeber the link)

pps:nostalagia also has a connect to internet auto option where it checks all versions with the ones you have , to see if there is any new versions of the emus etc,.

Yes, AmiPC-Engine from the author of AmiEmulators. He did quite good stuff in AmiGameboy & AmiMSX aswell as on AmiMasterGear. But they are not updated anymore  :-(

He also did AmiNES/Famicom emulator, a NES emu which was never finished/completed. Then he used the sources from that to create AmiPC-Engine, which was never completed also  :-(

All those emulators need 030+ and AGA, no CGX/P96 compatible. I tried them all, they work fine. There are even some gfx or sfx in some PC-Engine games to hear and see in the emu. But not playable  :-(

And it was quite fast on 060/AGA also. So i think a good coder can get that PC-Engine emu to run on an unexpanded (not too much :-D ) Amiga  8-)

Yes, do not mix up Darcnes with darkNESs  :-D

Darcnes is an allround emulator which features NES/SMS/MD/etc emus all in one.

darkNESs is just a NES emulator which is not updated anymore also.  :-x
It had good compatibility and was the best around the NES emulators on miggy. Only bad thing it was damn slow, even on 060.
And it was the first NES emu which supported CGX/P96 screens. Not bound to AGA  ;-)
