Emulators and game recommendations - Diablo OS
 
Just a thread for any gamers out there.
If you use any of the emulators and have found any great games that runs well on your NIT do list them here )

If you have any issues with a game/emulator post that as well and maybe someone have a solution.


My small list:

Emulator: VGBA
Games:

- Final Fantasy I/II
Runs fast and looks good.
Sound is choppy though.
Great classic FF intro games

- Advancee War
Graphics looks great and plays well.
Some hits and misses when it comes to it remembering your saved game.
Music is VERY choppy and slows down the game a lot. Turn it off and the game runs much better.
Love this strategy game.

- Baldur's Gate 1
Looks and plays amazing. A total thumb-wrecker though :)
Me, I can never seem to be able to kill the first boss...get him to 40% maybe. Bah.


Emulator: Drnoksnes
Games:
- Chrono Trigger
Often rated as the best RPG ever released on the SNES.
It sounds and looks awesome but the non-full screen is, for me, a huge minus compared to how the vgba roms play.


Games I have issues with:

- Fire Emblem in VGBA. Crashes during the first fight.
- FF VI in VGBA. So slow its unplayable

Emulator: mg

- Sonic The Hedgehog 1
Works quite well, but controlling Sonic with the accelerometer isn't easy at first. Tap screen to jump.

- Sonic The Hedgehog 2
Works well like part 1.

Emulator: vgb
- Final Fantasy III
Looks like it's working (I didn't play much), and the onscreen controls are OK for playing the game.

If you read above this thread IS for listing games, run under emulators, that either runs really well and are good/recommened - or if someone have a particular issue with a game/emulator.

Any reports on MAME, Final Burn Alpha or Turbografx?

My Dash and G1 (between the two) plays these fairly well (Turbografx on Dash is perfect).

I would expect the N900 to perform very well with these, since Pandora and PSP do. The games will not control as well or course, but they should play as good with full sound.

.... Why use the accelerometer? Apple device you have no choice, but the N900 has the keyboard (of course).
