Can americans make pce emus too, or do you have to be french? And do they have to have some guy names dave helping too? (*Ozzy looks to make sure zeograd isn't around to see him picking on him*)

Unfortunately, the PCE was never popular in north-america Crying or Very sad

even I am one of the few proud Very Happy

owners of a PCE and still use them today if both CD-ROM were working. I could buy a new one from the net but, with Magic engine working like this, why should I ? Wink

And no, im not an american and can't program very well, but why should I ? Registering Magic engine was the best use of 16$ I did in a long time Wink

Okay.. that's it.. we need to get a group of people together from north america (US, Canada) to start development of a PCE emulator..

Who's with me?

Im pretty sure Charles is from the UK unfortunately... I think the (north)american who whould be capable do a Pc engine emu is Dave from Final burn fame Wink

Maybe.. But Dave has proven himself to be.. well.. a little unreliable..

I mean, he's in the scene, he's not.. he's done coding Final Burn.. He's not..

Plus he pretty much left his Genesis emulator unfinished, I guess I'd kind of expect a PCE emulator from his to be pretty much the same.

But I can't criticize too much.. I have a long way to go before I could even do half a working emulator. Some day though... some day..

He was talking about Dave Shadoff.. A noted PCE hermit with credits to pcecp.com, huc, ME help to Michel, etc.

"Dave of ---=====FINAL BURN=====--- fame"

Probably because Jabberwok mixed up the two guys.

Why Dave (of Final Burn fame) should be interested in a PCE emu? Wink

Don't know.. But he is definately a talented coder and I'm sure if he got the urge he could make one..

But he would never finish it..

I thaught the question was about an able 'american' programmer, not a PCE fan... And I WAS refering to Dave of final burn... Im just saying he has the talent and capacity to do one, not that he wants to Wink

OK, Jabberwok, my fault ^^;

Jabberwok · Posted: Wed May 29, 2002 3:23 am Post subject: No harm done :)

Don't wory about it, I know im not allways clear so Wink

. Problem is good ol' Davie has the skills but lacks the motivation unfortunately Sad

Kind of like Steve snake of Kgen/Kega fame... Steve is an insane coder but systematically never finishes hes projects Crying or Very sad

. I know he recently lost his Kega source code but this doesn't excuse Kgen.

I whould do one, Im north-american (canada) and a great PCE fan but I lack the skills to do one... the only games I can do so far are text-based adventure games wich no one likes since like 20 years Wink

Niobium, i meant Ozzy was referring Dave Shadoff (creator of the Kisado) since you wanted clarification. Who's friends with Zeograd, hangs out on UtopiaSoft, always offers PCE prgramming help to wanna-bes, etc. hence explaining his "pun" of dave. You can pretty much get the most PCE info from him & the guys @ #UtopiaSoft on efnet.

And yes, i can read, i saw the "Dave of Final Burn".

Anyway, so much for that...

Hmmm i'm sorry but i'm new to this forum. I'm not in the emulation in general though. I don't see the point of this topic (no offense) What's the matter if no pce emulator is developped by Americans peeps ?
