WonderSwan. I remeber that. I always wanted to try it. Thanks for the updates everyone, @squarepusher2, @STLcardWS, @pete_uk

Its a Japanese system, created by the same guy who created the Gameboy and Gameboy color. He left Nintendo after he brought out the virtual boy and it flopped. then he created the WonderSwan for Bandai.. Some games are in English some are a mix of both (Jap and eng) and some are full japanese.

But there are some fun titles in the lineup.

Mathematician is willing to do math homework for the people who contribute to this project. I am also doing a Ph.D. in Stats so I can also do your stats homework.

lolz, homework sucked

i was really hoping for cd audio for sega cd

Well, hopefully games play a lil bit better.

I'm still crossing my fingers for move support, cause it seemed like he got one and that'd be awesome for all the light gun games. I'd love to drink and play me some duck hunt and snatcher

Soon as Eke-eke adds it to genesis plus gx for the Wii square will port it over. I never had to many issues with the game play only tried a handful of games though.

**JOshISPoser** · 08-15-2012,07:52 PM

how long did you try? The gameplay is better now for me btw. Spider-man would barely get in game and snatcher and others would freeze sometimes and at least (for the time being as i've only tested) spider-man plays.

I thought i read with this gens release there was going to be cd audio released.

Oh, and some thing that really bothers me: it says dashboard instead of xmb. Xmb was first and i hate it when it is called dashboard. Last i checked, there was an update for the dashboard to make it like the award winning xmb /endrant

Oh, and if you turn off custom scaling, menus will still mess up. I like the original look of games, so i turn off custom scaling which looks better to me than 1:1 or 2:2. I notice some writing is like messed up with custom scaling. I just have to turn it on, choose a game, then turn it back off or else the menus start to blend.

Just a few findings so far. Other than that, always a great release

Oh, and when a zip is extracted, you have to leave the folder and come back (just a minor annoyance). I also thought that when you chose a core, it was gonna switch automatically this time.

Again, i love whatever is given, i'm not complaining really, just making notes.

These are unofficial builds so they will always be a greater chance of errors because things are still a WIP they usually go official when everything is stable/ all features are working as intended .. So that's why some feature are like they are..

Keep pointing out issues/bugs that is what helps the developers in the long run and fix. It can be hard for them to look through every issue themselves. with every option.

So if you find anything else please reply here or even open an issue on the appropriate git..(links above)

**JOshISPoser** · 08-15-2012,08:11 PM

i prefer here. i've never gotten into git (no reason) and you always say you'll appropriately place them, so i put them here.

for the past couple releases, those are the only consistent problems i have come across besides the dashboard thing

**STLcardsWS** · 08-15-2012,08:13 PM

Dashboard, XMB, Back to The long thingy with the Icons..

Its doesn't matter to me as long as it works...
