PC-FXGA emulation is now here !

[gameblabla]

Here is the world's first PC-FXGA emulator !

I've worked a bit on it as a challenge to see if i could in fact, get it to work, because i had bought a PC-FXGA myself and never set it up, because i reasoned that not having an emulator for it would have meant developing for it would have been slow anyway.
So here it is, after days of working on it, i had gotten initial bootup on Same Game, followed by N-Nyuu! (the other, much less known PC-FXGA exclusive game that does a fair bit of 3D texture mapping but is honestly a worse game to play than Same Game FX is, as much as that game is frustrating).

This was implemented in large parts thanks to the documentation, as well as the official SDK itself that was released for it, which had extensive documentation on the hardware itself.

If you want to try it  yourself, you can do so on the web here :

You can check out the source code here :

Note that it doesn't store your data online, it's all stored locally.
I may plan on a proper mobile app at a later point.

Homebrew games are also supported but those that need to load external files need to be repackaged as .ZIP archives to load from, otherwise the games will have unexpected behavior. So yes, you don't need a stupid PC setup to run those games either.

Please enjoy the miniscule PC-FXGA library... or start developing for it !


Trivia : Interestingly, the normal standard PC-FX bios works for this too : Games simply check for the presence of the 3D hardware itself.
Also N-nyuu is extremely rushed and does not even have an error message if ran on a standard PC-FX (Same Game does) and lacks victory screens, this is normal and the intended behavior. That game also can run a bit faster than on the real thing, that will require further testing of the 3D GPU itself.

Hey gameblabla, good to cya around here again sharing some content! Thanks!

Even less PC-FX fans around, but might as well for google search results to spread the word in case someone sees it!
