... Not at this time (see the screenshots on the website for a show of the supported games). I forget with Berzerk if you could fire in multiple directions?...
Jeff - thanks for your great effort on X-Cade. Having used MAME since its inception, I must say its really impressive how smoothly Galaxian runs on a Palm!...
... Galaxian was tough too; it does something weird that ties up its processor quite a bit :) Moon Cresta (very similar hardware) was a snap, though. *shrug* ...
Hi Jeff, Love version 1.4! I was wondering if Xcade would be able to support Moon Patrol (the side scrolling classic from the 80's)? If so, can I put in a...
The fast addittion of newly supported games worries me somewhat. I hope censirely hope XCade doesn't go the same way MAME does, which development path...

... All the early 80s classics are certainly within possibility. I think I need to build a list of say 25 or 50 candidate games and then set up a poll on...
... XCade for Palm is in the name of playability; being on a handheld means we don't have the processing power or machine support to do things perfectly. Thats...
Just wondered if I am the only one with Space invaders running about half speed? Lunar rescue is the same, but gruntier games like moon cresta etc run at...

To me, and I think to 90% of people who play these classics, emulation is about reliving the past. That's why I have also built a full-size MAME-cabinet (...

Well Jeff, to me it seems a bit strange that a programmer doesn't care too much about accuracy. I think that if I would be talented enough to program such a...

My opinion, for what it's worth... I'd like xcade to be playable above all else. For that I would happily sacrifice the last 5% of accuracy and even sound. To...
