PicoDrive for Series 60 Released!

Perhaps big dave has finally got a life and has left the geek emulator-making scene?!

I don't think he did.Dave is just another guy with 1.5 children and a fulltime job which is not PicoDrive.BTW:There is a newer version of the core on his website.AG - Lars will probably release a PicoDrive update with the latest version of Dave's core.

great news

Ghost dog who the hell do u think u r? his website is superior compared to fdaves, even tho its not offcial, atleast hes got a games list! and finalburn.com doesn't even have the latest picodrive for s60 its only got links to pages like this 1, f**king hell man, "good job but its not 100%, whats wrong with u??? proper nutter man

Dave's site always has the latest version of the core - the most important part of PicoDrive and like i said the games list is not correct.

I just thought that I would drop a line of encouragement to fdave and Lars here - you guys are doing fantastic work. Ignore all of the people whining about the features that they think should be the "top priority". Work on it at your own pace, and keep it as a project that you enjoy doing. I do software development too, and as soon as you get people breathing down your neck and bitching at you all the time, that's when a project stops being fun and starts being a chore... and if a hobby project becomes a chore, it'll never go anywhere.

PicoDrive (and the S60 port) is an amazing product, and I'm looking forward to future versions - whenever they may arrive. Keep working, have fun, remember to have a life on the side, and know that there are some people out there who appreciate what you are doing.

Until we see more updates, I'll be enjoying all the games that _do_ work. I would rather play a few of my old favourites for free, than pay ridiculous prices for a bunch of boring J2ME games. Cheers!

i totally agree with this point.well said mate.what you have accomplished so far has been outstanding so keep up the good work!!

Hey I'm not that old 😉

But yes the fulltime job does tend to take the wind out of you! Gone are the freeloading student days where I could code DGen all the time 😉

Whoa, calm down guys!

My website is at http://www.finalburn.com/ and it has details of Cyclone and PicoDrive for Pocket PC and GigaDrive (which is PicoDrive for GP32).

http://www.picodrive.tk/ is a site with PicoDrive Series 60 , which is a port of PicoDrive by Lars.

So if you want the latest PPC/GP32, head to mine, but if you want the latest Series 60 head to his.

uhm, not really, I'm Morku. www.picodrive.tk is my website, www.finalburn.com is lars...simple as that!

I think i queried this a while back, but anyway
When i play sonic 3d it goes to what appears to be a "world map" screen but the whole thing just freezes,

anyone know of a work around or a version of the emu that it works on?
(i'm on a 6600 on version 3.42.1)

Just a quick question for fDave, is Picodrive honestly still being worked on? It seemed to come so far in such a short time and then hit the wall.

Just asking because Shining Force on my nGage would be pure gaming bliss. A simple yes or no answer would be great.

How do I get Boogerman to work for Nokia 3650?
I can't get it to load....Sonic works. :frown:

An update from AnotherGuest:We can exepect an updates soundless version of PicoDrive pretty soon and one with sound support also.

SomeOne (AG/Lars) has released a new version of PicoDrive with basic sound support, and using the latest version of Dave's core with improved compatibility etc.

Check the first post of this for the latest version of PicoDrive with preliminary sound support.You need to uninstall the old version first.

-Edit-

Raven beat me to it 😊 BTW:If you want sound,set it to OFF.

can some one tell me one game which works with sound pleez, as im dying to try it 😊

Woo, sound! And other bugfixes too, I assume.

What a day to forget my bluetooth adapter at home. Now I'm going to have to wait HOURS to try it out... it's not like I wanted to get any work done this afternoon, anyways.

Even That Terrifying Sound Was Music To My Ears, At Least Its A Step Forward. Nice One Guys! The Sound Is There, I Can Jus About Heard The Right Beats To Streets Of Rage, All Its Needs Is Some Tweaking.

Thank You 😊

Check the first post of this thread for an uptaded version of PicoDrive with volume control.

Sound results (what I've tried so far):

Herzog Zwei (no; plus game jumps into demo mode, pressing Start resets emu)
NHLPA '93 (no; game freezes on intro screen - at least those gfx fixed as of 0.13)
Phantasy Star 2 (you can almost hear the tune buried in among the distortion)
Sonic 1 (distorted sound)
Sonic 2 (no sound, game plays great though)
Crusader of Centy (no sound, game appears to work)
Landstalker (crashes PicoDrive, restarting emu locked up phone)

... heh, cool, now I'm having phone problems. Perhaps I'll have to finish up my testing later...
