Best TurboDuo Emulator

[RoleTroll]

I've been looking at Cosmic Fantasy 2 at Working Design's web site for a while now. I'm close to making the plunge, but I haven't had a Duo in many years.

Can anyone confirm that Magic Engine can play Cosmic Fantasy 2? Are there any games that it cannot play? And are there any emulators better than Magic Engine that I should get instead?

Magic Engine is definately the best, I haven't heard of any compatibility problems either.

Yeah Magic Engine is great. The long awaited 1.0 version is supposed to be released in Nov. which will fix the XP audio probs.

Course, if you don't want to pay. There's always Yame.

I can never get Magic Engine to play in an unfiltered 15 kHz graphics mode....And yes, my PC card does 15 kHz and is connected to a 15 kHz monitor. It was such a pain in the ass that I broke down and RGB modded my PCEngine.

Most emus don't give me any trouble in this area. Anybody ever get sucessful Turbo emulation at 15 kHz unfiltered?

Mame is great I love it, but since getting the latest version I don't get audio from cd games.

Edit yea I meant MAgic Engine lol.

Magic Engine is good...but Yame is better

Magic Engine is good...but Yame is better

Can it read zipped files?

[FPM]

I believe so....I havent used it in a while. All I know is that it plays Dracula X very nicely

Unfortunately, Yame has the same problem Magic Engine has in Win XP...no digital audio. You have to use an audio cable from your cd drive to your soundcard. Eh..I am not putting a cable in just for an emulator so I'll wait for the new Magic Engine coming out in november.

Surprised to see so little in regards to Turboduo/PC Engine CD emulation out there. Outside of Magic Engine, YAME and I guess Hu-Go! I don't see too much out there.

the new release of magic engine which is due in a month or two will have digital audio support. it's well worth the $18 or whatever it costs, IMO. just make sure you get the ROM images of the real system cards, because the ones that they made aren't 100% accurate.

BTW, cosmic fantasy 2 was fun at the time but it's unimaginably tedious and basic by today's standards. even back then, we were playing it mainly to see the cinemas, not to enjoy the gameplay. i have a hard time imagining it's much fun today.
