FAQ fromElrik

What are these strange signs in ROM names?

These are special codes, one can learn a lot of interesting things about ROM from them. For example, the sign (U) means that the game was released in the USA (USA), and (E) and (J) are Europe and Japan. Another type of characters, in square brackets, indicates the state of the rum. For example, [b} is a bad dump (copy), i.e. ROM is corrupted, such ROMs may either not work, hang or everything will be all right and you would not even guess that it was corrupted if this code were not. The code [o] - means that the ROM size, for some reason, is larger than it should be, usually it is fully working ROMs. Here such code [!] Is very good, it means “good dump”, i.e. The rum is original and was correctly copied from the media (for example, from a cartridge). The codes [f] and [h], the first means that some changes have been made to the rum to enable it to run on the emulator, the second, a bit vague in the definition, is hacked rum, i.e. Also, changes were made to it, only what and why it is not clear - but usually for the same purposes in order to run it on the emulator. And yet, the code [T] means that the game was transferred to the specified language, for example [T + Rus] means translation into Russian.
All these codes "arrange" various programs for identification and renaming of ROM files (ROM managers).

I downloaded some ROM, but forgot which console it was for. How to find out?

ROM-file names may have different extensions. In most cases, the extension can determine which system the ROM file belongs to. Often the extension coincides with the abbreviated spelling of the name of the system. For many systems, there are several formats of ROMs, with different extensions. Incomplete list of existing extensions:
.32x - Sega 32x
.a26 - Atari 2600
.a52 - Atari 5200
.a78 - Atari 7800
.crt - Commodore 64 Cartridge
.gb - Game Boy
.gba - Game Boy Advance
.gbc - Game Boy Color
.gen - Sega Mega Drive / Sega Genesis
.gg - Sega Game Gear
.int - Mattel Intellivision
.md - Sega Mega Drive / Sega Genesis
.mx2 - MSX2 Cartridge
.n64 - Nintendo 64
.nds - Nintendo DS
.nes - Famicom / Nintendo Entertainment System
.pce - PC-Engine / TurboGrafx-16
.smc - Super Famicom / Super Nintendo Entertainment System
.smd - Sega Mega Drive / Sega Genesis
.sms - Sega Master System
.v64 - Nintendo 64
.ws - Bandai WonderSwan
.wsc - Bandai WonderSwan Color
.z64 - Nintendo 64
You may also encounter .bin or .rom extensions. It is impossible to unambiguously identify the system by them, they only mean that this file contains some data (.bin) or is a dump of a ROM (.rom). Often, files with this extension contain a BIOS image of a system. Dumps of games from a number of the listed and some other systems can also have the .bin or .rom extension. Most often, the .bin extension is found in dumps of games for the Sega Mega Drive, as well as in the images of compact discs of various systems (in the bin + cue format).

More codes:

[a] is an alternative version of the original version of the game, which was released later than the official release date of the game.
As a rule, this version carried the bug fixes seen in the original version or even canceled the Game Genie codes.
[t] - Coach - a piece of code that brings up the menu before the game starts, so that you can enter codes.
[p] - Pirate version of the game.
[T-] - Old translation game.
[T +] - New translation game.
(-) - game with an unknown year of release.
(M #) - Multilingual ROM (# number of languages).
(###) - Check sum.
(?? k) - ROM size.
ZZZ_ - At the moment, this ROM is not classified.
(Unl) - A game released without a license.

Can people somehow put the pc games on the PDA?

[massimo]

snap,
There are DOS emulators for PDAs, for example Pocket DOS or DOSboxPPC, however the emulation speed leaves much to be desired (approximately at the level of the 386th processor), so you can run only the most ancient and archaic games, such as arkanoid or some ancient quests :( Generally I believe that there is more fussing with these emulators, but you really won't be able to play comfortably, so it’s better to be content than you are;)

[Z_perets]

At the forum we have: emundy dandy / seggegeyboyboy / supernintendo - morphgear, and for playstation - FPSce

[tonywhite]

Can you explain how rims are made? Well, did ISO and what's next ... ??? :(

[Z_perets]

There is a program for compressing ... I can not remember the name ...

[tonywhite]

This is not PocketISO ???

[maskin]

snap
Only through these emulators:
1. PocketDOS
2. Pocket DosBox
(Both pull on the h2210 472MHz like 486DX 18Mhz)
3. Some of the toys (quests, a specific engine - The Day of Tentacle, etc.) that go under the DOS will fly to PocketScumm

[snap]

Are there normal RPGs for pockets like diablo 1,2?

[Sithmaul]

snap,
There is. Dyabla first, emulated to Sonya Playstation. Now I will try to find a setup manual.
Here, look here _http://forum.pocketz.ru/index.php?showtopic=10128&hl=diablo ;)

[snap]

like icewind dale

[Sithmaul]

And the type of icewind dale you already bent. PDA - not a locomotive, although if overheated - boils;)

Hello, I recently bought myself an e-ten m500 communicator, downloaded several of it. emulators for sega, dendy games. there are a number of problems
-some games don't start
- after some time the program starts to fail (the character moves to the right or left all the time, without my intervention)
- no sound (sega) or very strong rattles (dendy)
-and even in the vaunted morphgear the same glitches
In general, when I had a nokia 7610, she played all the Roma much better, there were no such glitches. Well, it's not fair, you just want to swear ...
ZY it seems to me that the processor has nothing to do with it (games like AOE, worms world, etc. are loaded perfectly)
please tell me what to do and have somebody the same glitches

[doom2]

In general, then, all have such problems (except for the second paragraph). You have to wait and hope that the creators of emulators will fix this.

[x25]

In general, not all Roma go even on a computer, where emulation is so emulation, and on pockets it can not go even if it’s gone on a big brother, perhaps there is a hang-up, problems with sound, but all known Roma go to URA. with the permission of modders, go to the neighbors on poketz.ru, a separate branch on emulators. jerking may be connected with the joystick - but if the device is new, then there should not be sticking, but they will appear in a year :).

[Happy2punk]

But how about emulators pda for
PC

[micha2005]

Best for games in my opinion is DOSBOX. And the clave does not interfere and there is sound. I even Alon fo the darck, Goblin1,2 once again passed. True Goblins normal but Alon fo the darck braked.

Look in the "Programming" section:
Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0 Community Preview

[bosle]

Tell me, what emulators normally go to 9100, so that the games do not slow down ...: huh:
I've tried Pocket GBA and Pocket Advance
The emulators themselves started, and the games slow down ... maybe someone knows how to set up so that they don't slow down?

[chudishko]

The sound is knocked out and framed. Well, the games choose the appropriate

[maskin]

bosle,
For a tolerable emulation of 50% of games under the GBA platform, it is necessary to have an overclocked percent, at least up to 472 MHz.
Normally, at 300-400 MHz, you can only play NES games (with PocketNester), GameBoy and Gameboy Color (using PocketGNUBoy) emulated games.
