What is the current state of the System 16 Win Port emulator? and
what will be new in the next release?
The current
version is 0.79 DirectX. It is in sync with the DOS 0.79. Since
then I haven't been coded anything on the emu. The next release
will feature the new sound emulation (Shadow Dancer, Moonwalker,
Outrun, Space Harrier)
Fox:
How long did it take you in full to make the first release of the
Windows port?
When I first
thought it would take about 2 weeks, it finally took me 5 weeks
because of several problems. Read more about it in the history on
the S16DX-Homepage http://abyss.moving-people.net/s16w32.html
Fox
: What was your main inspiration of starting a Windows port of the
System 16 emulator?
When I saw
Thierry's search for a coder that ports S16 to DirectX, I responded
and was selected to do it among others. I wanted to do it, to show
people that you can do cool Windows-Ports and Windows-Emulators,
as too many emu-coders
are still using that 20-year-old "operating system" called
MS-DOS...
Fox:
Other than the system 16 emulator which other emulators do you like,
and why?
My favorite
emulator is Callus, because it's very fast, very accurate and the
games available are very good. Other than that I also like MAME,
KGEN and NeoRage (where is the sound?)
Fox:
What other sega games would you like seen emulated on the System
16 Emulator?
The more advanced
games like Power Drift and Afterburner.
Fox:
The dos version of system 16 emulator has stated recently that sound
has been supported for Outrun, Space Harrier etc..will this be supported
in the next win port?
Yep. See 1
:)
Fox:
If you decided ever to emulate another console/computer which one
would you choose and most like to see emulated?
I'd like to
see a CPS2 Emulator and one for the arcade game Super Twin Eagle
2!
Fox:
If you could pay for a perfect emulator what console/computer format
would it be for?
hmm...Dunno
really, sorry 8-)
Fox:
At this moment in time, what are your 5 favourite games? (emu related)
- Bomb Jack
(MAME)
- Contra 4
The Hardcops (Genesis)
- Yoshi's Island
(SNES)
- Super Mario
Allstars (SNES)
- R-Type 2
(Rage)
Fox:
If you could shock the emulation world with 5 words what would they
be?
Stop using
that f*cking MS-DOS!
Fox:
If you could improve Emulators Unlimited in any way, what would
it be?
Oops... haven't
looked at your page that much. But what I would like, is that the
real audio content can be played back with Windows Media Player!
