Title: PC-FX Emulator
Post by: Daniel on 11/04/2001, 05:59 PM
Hi,

I was wondering if there was a PC-FX emulator available or one in the works as I live in Canada and buying import consoles is quite costly. My dad not letting me "waste my money" on video games doesen't help either! Also I was wondering if there was a site were I could download PC-FX isos. Any help or info would be gladly appreciated. Thanks!

There was a PC-FX emulator in the works, but I think the project is now dead, as I have emailed the author a few times now, and have yet to get a response.  It was started by the same author who developed YAME.

Thanks for your response. Do you know if there is any websites or info on the emulator? I'm just interested, even though it's dead. Thanks.

There really isn't too much info on it, except for the name and version number... but here you go:

Hey,

That link you had on your last message dosen't look like an emulator to me! I can't read Japanese, but I'm almost certain that it's just a port of YAME to the PC-FX. Correct if I'm wrong, 'cause I don't know Japanese so you might know better.

The idea of the web page is about the emulator YAME.  but if you look down further, there is both a PSX YAME Emulator and a PC-FX GA Emulator:

Play Station
YAME Version 0.12 (48KB)

PC-FX GA
YAME Version 0.12 (43KB)

This would mean that there was the idea of a PC-FX emulator.  But as stated, the project apears to be dead.  There wasn't even a beta or alpha for it as far as I know.

Title: There was a port of YAME to the PC-FX, but no emulator!

This is taken from www.toyoshima-house.net/beos/:

BeYAME(x86)
[2001/1/7] So-called an emulator. It can emulate PC-Engine, NES, GB, and so on. Originally it made by Kappa, older members of UTMC. This emulator was ported a lot of platforms. Windows, Macintosh, Linux, FreeBSD, PC-FX and PS.

So I guess that means there was no PC-FX emulator. :(

Actually, the only PC-FX emu that I knew of was FXer, which was being developed by a friend of mine.  I was the co-developer on the project, and I had a section on pcengine-fx.com with lots of info about it.  The project has been long since scrapped due to lack of info about the internal workings of the FX chipset, but we had a lot of things emulated.

I on the other hand have a PC-FXGA PC-9800 dev kit, but don't have the NEC computer to run it, so it's just sitting in my collection...if I had a PC-FXGA DOS/V card back when FXer was being developed, there would have been a emu by now :(
