It's an interesting idea I guess... and there wouldn't be anything in the bluetooth netplay protocol which would forbid it... all you would have to do is mark a device as not being mapped to any joypads (just effectively a 'spectator'😉

Okay, I will bear that in mind!

Raven,i believe that the diagonals on the N-Gage are not hardware thing,the joypad doesn't have 9 contacts but 5 so when you press up or down with either direction in the same time it interprets it as a diagonal.

I'm not completely sure about this, but I believe ngage is the only s60 phone to support diagonals (up and left directions otggled at the same time). You are correct that ngage only has 5 contacts.

Still no new release ? looks like it will be directly a new 0.23 version 😊 sounds great for me 😊

great job fdave and co!

If it was any different it would've been posted in the first page of this thread.

Posting or requsting links to roms is not alowed.

It's just that we were getting updates every other day for a while and nothing for more than a week. I'm not trying to be pushy I've just seen you guys talking about 0.23 and according to what you are saying. That is not the S60 version. Just double checking.

For this kind of request, you can do like anybody else and go to any "underground" emulation site or even use your old friend Google ...

What are u on about? he's asking the makings of the flaming software (nice job by the way) why wud he go on to google instead of asking the people who are CLOSEST to the team or programmer. i wud also like to request if it is possible for u to provide us with maybe a approximation of the release date for the next beta of picodrive? no harm in asking is there?

Dave here,

Please don't do either of these things.

Rom requests are not allowed.
Do not ask any emu author for Roms,
Do not ask anyone who ports emulator for Roms.
Do not ask for or post links to Roms on a Message Board
And one more thing (which always entertains me no end), asking where to *find* roms is asking for roms.

Sigh. It's so boring you really would think people would know by now, but nooooo

There is actually harm in asking when will the next version be out too, because if everyone keeps asking and asking and asking, then it's gets very grating!

The latest code I have for PicoDrive is always on my website, www.finalburn.com It's exactly the same as the code I have on my computer, so no need to ask when the next version will be out. You have everything that I have.

Fdave i think i was talking about the last release in SIS file...
btw is everything going fine with your project of emulating sound? what r u planning to do now to improve Picodrive ? 😊 let us tease

congratulation for ur work, i really appreciate what u did for the S60 fans like me

hi there i wanna thank every one is working on this project what a wonderfull job
but i have noticed that the emulater includes only three buttons (abc) but where is the missing 3 buttons xyz . i need them to play street fighter .i hate it when i only fight with my legs or only with my hands
i hope that you all take my note into consideration.
thanks again

There is no support for 6 buttons.It has been mentioned before in this thread,it would be nice if people occasionaly read it.

I cant find it. :frown:

I only read that the six button support isnt top priority. :frown:

Will the final version support it? :?

Hi,
thank you for this great emulator. I just love to play the original sonic games again ;=) *so many memories* One thing that i miss, is the emulation of "Dune 2" It would be awesome if you could make this work, i think it shouldnt be too hard because its already loading and showing the intro screen. Then it goes into some kind of never ending loop when it shows the "presents" title.

( i think it shouldnt be too hard => its just a guess...)

thanks you.

GhostDog, help me out! How can I transfer the ROMs that I send to my e-mail on 3650 , to the root directory C or E? I don�t have IR or BT connections with my PC, so I send it all to the e-mail...
Thanks a lot!

The final version before what exactly... the end of the world?

to Fdave:
hi guy, we didnt have news from u for a long time, what's going on? i really support you, hope all things are going as good as u want. I'm maybe curious but i wanted to know what u were planning to add to improve picodrive s60...
c u

Bloody hell, everyone wants something different to be 'top priority'! So now six button is 'top priority'?

Where on earth does that leave sound, z80, 68k compatibility, speed, 2-player today? 'top priority' as well no doubt! Is there anything which isn't top priority?

...hang on I know - shadow+hilight, no one gives a damn about that!

haven't done anything since the last version (0.023 was it?).

I keep saying this to everyone, but they don't seem to believe me: the version of the source code on my website is the 'exact' same version which is on my laptop. that's the way I work, so everyone is up to date

as for what I plan to do... well at some point everything I've mentioned before. you know, more 68k, some z80, more sound, just you know the rest of it.

Dave,why do you even bother replying?Most of use grateful you developed Cyclone and PicoDrive to this level and its still free!Once again,a big thanks!

thanx for ur reply fdave...about the 0.23 version on your laptop same as the one on your site, that's my point of view but i think everyone here cannot compile your source and try it 😊 i think they r just waiting for the 0.13 version

btw good work for the sound processing, god help u man 😊
