| Delayed Rumor Mill is here! - September 16, '99 by JoseQ
| Sorry for the late Rumor Mill. Although I have been
extremely busy as of late, the bad news end right there.
What I've been busy with has been with getting new
equipment and contracts that will lead to a better, faster
EmuViews. I've been just talking around to get not only
a hardware upgrade, but also yet another speed bump which
will allow me to keep the big ROMs online instead of on
and off. I'm sure you'll love to find everything once
again and permanently this time. Now, that is no rumor,
and that is why I'm writing this, so let's get right on
to it!
Well let's start with something new. I've heard from
a couple of different sources about a Neo Geo Pocket Color
being on the works. Of course since the console is so new
work is really preliminary. However, I have heard from at
least one very prominent emulator programmer that is working
on this, and judging from his track record, this is something I definitely want to get my hands on. So you can
put the Q seal of good rumors on at least one of those
NGPC emulators.
Dreamcast emus... With the release a week behind us,
Dreamcast is a very hot topic not only around the console
gaming world, but of course our world, emulation. I can
tell you this, Dreamcast emulation shouldn't be considered
impossible, much less impossible than Saturn emulation.
However, don't expect to see PCs powerful enough to handle
it in decent speeds anytime soon. As the proud owner of
a Dreamcast I must say that I haven't seen anything like
that on PC based games, and having a pretty updated system
I guess we won't see anything Dreamcast-like emulated fast
for a long while (year+).
Good things I've heard from the Hot Rod people, Hanaho Games, Inc.. I had
a long talk yesterday with an inside source very close to
where it all happens, and it seems that the Capcom deal
will find a brother soon. Something similar seems to be
happening with other big players. I don't know if you've
noticed, but if something good has happened to emulation
lately, it is the presence and actions of Hanaho games
that have helped us. Look for many interesting and surprising news from them in the coming Mills.
Going back to our biggest emulator, MAME, look for
a coming celebration very soon as they've reached a couple
of marks and important dates. I would expect some kind of
release to happen by this weekend, and those avid at
finding curious facts might be able to decipher exactly
when and why. I'm not certain Nicola will go for it, but
it would sure make a lot of sense.
Well I think I will stop with the Rumors for now and
get back to work since the amount of work I have pending
is inmense. I can't wait to be done with the two new servers
in place. I'm sure you will love it once everything has
been settled.
