Compatibility list for PalmBoy (Commercial games)
WARNING:
To get the emulation as fast as possible nearly no checks are made and the
memory protection had to be switched off. This leads to a potentially very
dangerous program - every single byte of your Pilots databases and
programs in RAM can be overwritten!
Serious and heavy testing revealed no data losses, but it's a
very good idea to hotsync your databases before trying the emulator with
new games until you gain confidence in the combination of emulator and
emulated game.
Quick links:
NO, NO!
NO! I can't tell you how to get files of commercial games! Please try
the free games, some of them are better than their "originals!"
I will not answer any mail concerning commercial games!
And please: don't send me any attachments without prior arrangement!
I'm using a private phone line with an simple modem to connect into
"the net" - and that costs lots of money here in germany!
Last update: 2001-10-27
A nice guy named "HJ"
sent me some HTML's with his comments about the playability of emulated
games. Informations about the method is provided in his
"Playability testing" document.
Look at the "datasheet" for an actual game by following the
link on its name. If a game has no link, there's none; if you like to
provide the information yourself, take the
blank sheet, fill it out, and send it to
me.
This list contains only ROMs already tried. If your favorite isn't there
it just means that you should test it and send me your
experiences! Please don't forget to include the version of PalmBoy and
a short description of the game.
