Yes, it plays Arcade Card CD-ROMs, all of them.

This happens sometimes when using Magic System to play CD games - all the sound functions haven't been fully implemented yet. But you can work around this problem by using the original System Card ROM instead, just copy this ROM (SYSCARD3.PCE) in MagicEngine directory, the emulator will detect it automaticaly and use it instead of Magic System.

Did you try to run this game using the System Card ROM (SYSCARD3.PCE)? A few CD games don't work if you run them with Magic System. The opposite can also be true, some games run only with Magic System. Be sure to always try the two different systems (in v1.00 click on the little down arrow in the 'boot cd' menu to change the CD system). If nothing work then may be this game isn't correctly emulated by MagicEngine, in such a case feel free to report the problem to us, we will try to fix it.

No. There's no difference between the demo and the registered version, both versions have the same emulation core, if a game doesn't work with the demo version it won't work with the registered version either.

No, MagicEngine can not load these files, this format is not supported.

No, it reads only true CDs.

No, for now this is not planned.

If you are using version 1.0 of MagicEngine you can directly change the CD-ROM drive from the GUI, in the 'boot cd' menu, but if you are using an older version you will need to change the 'drive' option in the pce.ini file (0 = first CD-ROM drive, 1 = second, etc...), or if your PC is running Windows 2000 or XP you can also change the 'drive_letter' option, simply set it to the letter of your CD-ROM drive (D:, E:, etc...).

The different file names are : SYSCARD1.PCE, SYSCARD2.PCE, SYSCARD3.PCE, and GE.PCE for the Game Express System Card. Don't use compressed ROMs.

Yes, it works well with Windows XP.
If you encounter graphics slowdown or graphics glitches change the video driver. By default MagicEngine uses DirectX but some video cards work better with OpenGL. To change the video driver double-click on the pce.ini file, look for the 'driver' option, change it and save the file.

There are two calibration options in the pce.ini file : 'auto_calibration_1', and 'auto_calibration_2', the first one is for adjusting the up and left directions and the second option is for the right and down directions. Try to increase or decrease the values depending of the problem.

It costs 15 Euro (that's about $19 USD or £10 GBP).

There are three possibilities :

• 1) online with a credit card (on a secure site)

Go to the "order" page for more details.

Yes, you will. Updates are always free for registered users.

If you pay by credit card it usualy takes between 24 and 48 hours, sometimes a little bit more but it's rare. If you pay by money order or by cash, delay depends of the postal service, about 3-5 days in Europe, 5-7 days for USA or Japan.

Yes, but we do not recommend it. Those e-mail services often block or delete the e-mail with the key file. If you used such an e-mail address and didn't receive your key file contact us (either from the support page or from the forums).

No no, you won't have to pay anything. Newer versions are free for registered users.

Yes. We make no distinctions between the different PC versions, if you registered one, you have also access to the other.

Yes. Just rename the 'KEY.DAT' file to 'PCE.KEY'
