I am in the process of setting up a new web site with the goal of trying to bring everything connected with the GP32 together i.e. set-up, programmes etc. I am also building an emulator section. I would appreciate it if people could post here the best games they have been playing on each emulator, how they run (sound, speed, compatability, saves etc.) so I can check them out and in time add reviews screens, recommendations etc. to my site.

:D Cheers Gm4n
 
sms0.5 runs game gear pretty much perfect in everyway tbh. runs sms games ok bit slow at times with crackly sound in places.
 
GPEngine has 100% speed with most games with sound. Doesn't support saving yet, though.
 
take a looky at jlbreches website, he got a list of all the emus with their flaws and up points and classic games for them

yeah but that's with it set at 30fps (effectively frameskip 2)

Shinobi....
Try another rom/dump version. I play shinobi without bugs or sprite glitches.

Photograph Boy doesn't even run for me IIRC...

Anyway, rather than repeating information on sites already, I suggest you make a compatability list. List what games work in what version of suchandsuch, and give basic performance stats. It would be a nice incentive to people shopping for a GP32.
 
Ok then I will try and compile some compatablility lists. Again though I will need help as I cannot possibly try every game for every emulator. So if anyone can post what games they have played on what emulator and it's status (Speed, sound, save, glitches etc.) I can try and put this all together. Cheers

Well, here's my contribution, albeit small.

Wonderswan Emu - soz - forget it's name

About 70% speed, I reckon. no sound. Smallish screen. I suppose this is because the Wonderswans' one wasn't exactly huge.

Works:
Mr Driller
Guilty Gear Petit

Don't work
Guilty Gear petit 2.

that's it so far!
