Short: PPC Sega MasterSystem/GameGear emulator Author: Andre Osterhues (su0583@studserver.uni-dortmund.de) Uploader: Andre Osterhues (su0583 studserver uni-dortmund de) Type: misc/emu Version: V1.5 Requires: PowerPC, gtlayout.library, CyberGraphX Architecture: ppc-powerup This is an Amiga PPC port of Marat Fayzullin's Sega MasterSystem/Game Gear emulator, MasterGear. Some changes had to be made to make it run fast on a PPC Amiga. And, believe me, it is fast! After starting MasterGearPPC, a control window appears. Here you can setup MasterGearPPC. The settings include: ROM name File name of ROM image to be started VBlank period Number of operations between vertical blank interrupts. Should be 8000, change only if display gets distorted. Update period Update every nth frame. Defaults to 1, change if emulator gets too slow. Input Joystick or CD³² gamepad Auto A Autofire for button A Auto B Autofire for button B Machine Machine to be emulated (SMS or GG) Country English or Japanese mode Delay Delay VRAM reads. Activate to get a bit closer to original machine behaviour. Save CPU Set CPUs into Wait status if window is not activated Save game Load saved game at beginning and save game status at exit Display Window on default PubScreen or custom screen Screen mode Mode ID for custom screen Notes: - On AGA systems not equipped with a graphics card, install CyberGraphX AGA and select a CGXAGA mode. - To use joystick or gamepad, you need lowlevel.library v40 (OS3.1). Otherwise you can only use the keyboard. Gamepad keys: Red: Button A Blue: Button B Green: Swap buttons a and B Yellow: Help Play/Pause: Start From V1.4 on, the settings are saved to PROGDIR:MG.prefs. You can pack your ROM images with the well-known XPK packers as MasterGearPPC automatically detects and decrunches XPK files. (Note: Do not pack .sav files, these are the saved games and MUST NOT be compressed!) Of course, you need original ROMs to start MasterGear. And NO, I won't give any ROMs to anyone. Read out your Sega cartridges with a ROM reader or search the internet or whatever... Some games use button A as main fire button and some use button B. The buttons can be swapped by pressing F1. Please notice that your joystick's fire button is always identical to the CTRL button and SPACE is always the other button. Please read the original documentation MG.doc for further information. Have fun with it! André Osterhues su0583@studserver.uni-dortmund.de
