So the great upload continues (Yes it's still going) but we're entering the end-game now and we're down to the last 200-300Gb. I expect it to finish up early next week (Say monday or tuesday).
Once it's done there will be a few new folders that have been added in.
Atari 5200
Atari 7800
Arcade
- Model 2 (Daytona USA, Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter etc)
- Model 3 (Daytona 2, Sega Rally 2, Virtua Fighter 3 etc)
- Triforce
Triforce is the collaboration between Nintendo, Sega and Namco based on the Gamecube and houses games like Mario Kart Arcade GP 1 & 2, F-Zero AX and Donkey Kong Jungle Fever. It's not very well emulated at the moment, so only the two Mario Kart games are really playable, which is why they are the only games you'll find in there. They required me to have a separate Dolphin install for both of them, so I've include them in there as well. If anyone has any issues with it, give me a shout and I'll see what I can do to figure it out. Normal Dolphin cannot run these games, only the earlier (And now ignored) Triforce branches work. Apparently you can play them on the Wii with some work, but I've got no experience with that. Do some digging peeps.
I'm taking a slightly different approach for Arcade games, where I'll be separating them into collections of hardware/emulators. This is because while MAME can handle the vast majority of stuff, as soon as you start dealing with 3D games (Mid-90's onward) it's performance becomes unpredictably spotty. For example while something like Ridge Racer and Time Crisis run fine on it, Daytona runs like gooseberry fool. This only gets worse as the hardware gets more advanced. In these cases specific emulators are more appropriate.
Therefore if there is a better standalone emulator for specific arcade hardware, I'll be bundling the games for that.
Currently I'm working on assembling a folder for Naomi and Atomiswave games (Marvel Vs Capcom 2, Powerstone, Crazy Taxi etc) which will be ready soon.
