Wish he would release his changes to the source, would like to add it to my source.
Dstwo mac emulator Pc#
:)įort Apocolypse doesn't work in the pc version of Frodo either unfortunetly, there is a workaround i found if I just slowing move towards the fuel pad and keep firing down at the pad if your careful it will pop down and you can fuel up., not sure about Space Taxi though.įor Eilts version I just renamed my /rd folder to /d64, as far as I could tell the FrodoDS.d64 is just a blank 1541 disk image. The golden era of the C64 and games like Loderunner, Jumpman, Ultimate Wizard, Pirates!. Turrican 1 and 2 run ok aswell as Blood Money.Įither way the Amiga, Atari ST versions of most of the games you mentioned were far superior, hands down. The 86 version of DK by Ocean ran very fast in comparison. I'm no expert about frodoDS but in my tests there are plenty of old games that run slowly in frodoDS, Repton(the defender clone) and the 83 version of Donkey Kong are just a couple I can think of. I wouldn't give up my C64 but the Amiga was a sweet machine that I will never forget as well.
Dstwo mac emulator plus#
Plus to say you didn't miss out on much with the Amiga, may explain something about you. To say that age has anything to do with it is just wrong, there are some games on the atari 2600 which can beat the C64 even, IMO. Most of the games after were sloppy ports of 16bit counterparts and games that really shouldn't have been tried on the old beast. There are tons of very innovative and great games that are pre-87. I don't think I'm being very defensive, I just believe most of the really good games came out earlier in the C64's life. I agree with you on Frameskip 4 being horribly choppy, but frameskip 3 is unbearably slow, I can play Katakis on FS4 and it plays pretty well which i'm happy about.Īlso, I'm pretty sure you're wrong about the "when a game was released has nothing to do with the emulation speed of Frodods" statement, in my experience anything from around 87' or later plays slow at FS3, surely this would be the case anyway because games after 87' actually started to use the Commodore to it's potential, and so must have had more complicated stuff going on in them. The oldest game I spent a lot of time playing when I was a kid was a game called Aqua. Games I played a lot when I was a kid - St Dragon, Newzealand Story, Turrican 1 & 2, Gemini Wing, CJ's Elephant Antics, The Dizzy Games, Last Ninja 2, Hawkeye, Rodland, Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands, Wizball, Shinobi, Flimbos Quest (borrowed off of my neighbour) Cabal, Kickstart 2. Lastly what are some examples of these "good" games that you only play.Whoah, someone's a bit defensive of his archaic C64 games :p, I never had an Amiga when I was a kid :( but then I got one about 2 years ago and found that I didn't really miss out on anything anyway :) )Īlso I just think 4 frame skip makes games way to choppy, platformers or shmups become basically unplayable. I mean if your criteria for how good a game is depends on it's age, then why are you using this emulator. Seriously,I guess by the time you got your c64, I was using an Amiga. I'm the only one so far in this thread that has said 3 is good enough, so if by one other person thinking it's fine makes it "all this good enough business" then I guess so? Also the time that a game was released has nothing to do with either how good it is or if it will run at decent speed in FrodoDS. Maybe I could use the ds's power light to flash as the drive light, that would be cool, either way I'll look into it. I don't miss the slow load times of the C=64. I'd love to see that on the DS version, any chance of adding that in the future? There have been a few time I thought the rom didn't work, only for it to be just loading another part of the program. One thing I've noticed is that the PC versions have a drive access light. Thanks for making this wonderful program. So I will use it for the ones that don't like the DS (or checking to see if the rom is good). FrodoCS seems to be compatible with every rom I've tried (with 1541 emulation).
I've found that the basic Frodo (win-32) is a good indicator what will work on Frodo DS. But since you now have the snapshot built-in, it is not an issue. It appears to work fine, except saving to a "data disk". I finally have one of my most favorite C=64 games working on the DS. With 1541 emulation also enabled on FrodoDS, it works! I load the snapshot, then immediately mount the.
Using FrodoCS (1541 emulation on), I was able to save a snapshot of a successful load and transfer it to the DS. Thanks for the link, it has really helped.
