MagicEngineFX WIP

We spent all this week to test our PC-FX games with the latest version of MagicEngineFX (spent two whole months before that to enhance the emulation), we didn't want to release the emulator until at least 75% of our games were working correctly but after this round of testing it looks like we have reached this goal : 80% of our games work now!

 

That doesn't mean that we can release the emulator right now though, ^^; but at least now the compatibility rate is not holding back the release anymore, which is a good news.

 

We still have to complete :

 

* the PC-FX BIOS emulation (90% done)

* the Direct-X driver (it's almost complete, are missing only the new features that MagicEngineFX requires compared to MagicEngine)

* the localized GUI (40% done)

* an installer and small external setup program

 

No release date yet but we will keep you informed of progress. Meanwhile we have prepared a little compatibility list for those who want to go shopping while waiting for the release. It does not contain all the PC-FX games yet (only those we have) but we are planning to test the others soon.

 

A lot of the games that are marked 'GOOD' seem to work perfectly but some still have minor glitches, don't expect 100% perfect emulation in all the working games for the first release of MagicEngineFX, but you can expect very good quality emulation.
