Any good TG16 emulators WITHOUT a time limit?
« on: September 01, 2007, 03:52:14 PM »
I'm really sick of Magic Engine. I'm sick of that STUPID AND POINTLESS TIME LIMIT. Does anybody know any other TG16 emulators that are good and don't have a FRIGGIN' TIME LIMIT?

Yeah, that oootake works pretty well, but doesn't have a screen cap function if you are interested in such a function.  MESS is nearly a decade old, isn't it?

The time limit on the TRIAL VERSION of Magic Engine is neither stupid nor pointless. Register, and receive the key for unlimited play.

Just pay for it and show appreciation of all the work that has gone into it.

Paul, while I can appreciate that a lot of time and development has gone into Magic Engine, most emulators, including some of the most functional, are free, like Zsnes, Gens, etc... And given so many other emus are free, people sometimes don't want to have to pay for the one they can't find a good version for. Luckily, there are some quite nice free PCE emulators. Ootake, if you can get used to the poor interface, is quite a good emulator and does a better job of both ADPCM and PSG sound emulation than Magic Engine. That said, ME has a much better interface.

You might just want to pay for Magic Engine. Its probably the most reliable, and easy to use PCE emu there is that plays CDs, doesn't use a crap front-end, ect.

Personally, I use TGEmu for Mac. Its pretty damn nice, but only for HuCards. Not a problem since I can just play the CDs on my real system. I'd really like to get a flash cart but I'm afraid I'm going to pay $100 for something that doesn't work, or requires Windows, or some other bullshit.

I really don't do much PCE emulation since...its just not very fun, IMO. Not only that but collecting working PCE isos is like collecting Faberge eggs or some shit.

I'm pretty sure all the flashcart programs are for windows

I'm not PAYING for an emulator. That is RIDICULOUS. Alot of the best emulators for other systems are ones you don't have to pay for, so there's no reason I should have to pay to use an emulator, no matter what.

Sometimes the "freeloader" mindset online sickens me . . .

Yes you are entitled to whatever you want for free and also you should never, ever have to use a simple google search to find the answers to your questions, I totally agree.

I guess I'll sound like a big loser around here, but I paid for Magic Engine and will buy the FX version once I need to take some PC-FX screenshots.
