I just got my Gp32 a couple of days ago and everything is working great. I have had no problems installing any of the software or playing any of the roms. I read that you could play Monkey Island 1 & 2 and other pc games on the gpr2. The problem I am having is that I have the software to run the games on my GP32 and I have the pc games themselves but I have no idea where I need to put the game files. If anyone could help me out it would be great.
 
Hi

Pretty much every emulator needs to go in the GPMM folder to start with.

For ROMS, i have a folder in the Root of my SMC card (the first bit) called ROMS. Inside this i have seperate folders for all the different machines i emulate (SNES, NES, GG, MSX, SCUMM etc) so it keeps it organised.

Its pretty hit and miss with some software. Mostly you can load roms from a menu which lets you search everywhere, but some emulators (SMS32 being one) needs the roms to be in a named directory in the GPMM folder.

With The SCUMM emulator (monkey island etc) you can put the ROMS wherever you want. Just click on ADD GAME, then locate the folder (MONKEY or whatever) that contains all the bits that come with monkey island. If you have all the necessary bits, SCUMM will tell you whats on the "disks", which should say "Monkey island 256 disk version" or something!

Best thing is to read the README file that comes with the emulator. Itll normally tell u if u need to do anything special

Hope this helps!! Sorry im a bit vague but im at work and GP32 is miles away :D
 
Cheers mate. That’s given me sum ideas about how I am going to get the games working. I am supposed to be working as well but I have just spent the downloading roms of this great site I found which I am sure the company would not be to impressed with. :lol:
 
when you say PC games, do you mean 'PC' games or PC engine games?

The PC engine was a machine totally unrelated to the standard 'PC' as we know it.

You can only play PC games that have been ported over to the gP32, whereas you can play PC engine games via an emulator...
