Pico Drive new release

[Guest giles2005]

Just throught id add this..... i currently have the latest (to my knowledge) of picodrive and have tested it with a wide range of megadrive games and it happens to work a 90% of the 200 which i currently...

this is fine but there are couple of things that appear to be holding this back from its finishedb artical e.g

-no sound

-screen res isn't fullscreen by a small fraction

otherwise its a sound little emulator.....

wouldn't be much work... id happly assist with dev and testing

Hi giles2005...

no sound

-screen res isn't fullscreen by a small fraction

otherwise its a sound little emulator.....

wouldn't be much work...

In reverse order, the screen isn't quite drawn at full-screen because 320x240 (MegaDrive screen resolution) into 176x220 (Smartphone screen resolution) doesn't go very well. So you need to rescale the graphics to very specific parameters if you want to avoid

i) "lumpy"-looking graphics, and

ii) slower emulation

I think the screen sizes available at the moment are quite a good compromise tbh...

as for sound - the most-requested feature - that would be the *most enormous amount of work*...

Hi

What I think is missing the most in picodrive is not sound but rather the possiblity to use numbers for directions, so e200 users like me (and i'm sure it is not the only model with this shitty 4 directions paddle) could fully enjoy sports or fighting games.

Otherwise thank you for this port, nice work
