Heres a list of my experiences so far, games that dont have any text work perfectly so need no description :)

  • Space Crusade
  • Hero Quest
  • Jimmy Whites whirlwind snooker
  • Gem-X
  • Gobliiins 1
  • Gobliins 2
  • Facination
  • Magic Pockets
  • Another World - a bit of slowdown when screen is busy but its playable
  • Elite 2: Frontier - flashes like made, very slow, unplayable
  • No Second Price - very slow, looks great tho
  • Archer McLeans Pool - plays briefly but resets randomly after a min... if that
  • B17: Flying Fortress - slow but looks great
  • Flood - very dark, great otherwise
  • Lemmings 2 - flashes constantly except framskip 0, but then its too slow, mouse cant go up sometimes unless you re-calibrate it
  • Fire & Ice - can get into the game now, but its as if its trying to load constantly so cant play
  • Vroom - little slow, flashes like mad but its playable
  • Gods - mine just came up 'loading game' and did nothing else, i think i read someone had this running.... have you?
  • ShadowWorlds - resets GP
  • Ishar - resets GP
  • Exile - resets GP
  • Stardust - resets GP
  • Creatures - resets GP

Add to the list, keep it brief so weve got a good list of games that run perfectly now so we can all go get em :)

So far, I had the following games running:
- Rick dangerous 2
- Chaos strikes back (take a real long time to start up, even with max frameskip)
- BAT (have to use only drive A, though - DO NOT FOLLOW ON SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS !)
- E-motion (extremely slow)
- Immortal
- Iron lord
- Mortvielle manor (quite unplayable due to farty noises :))
- Parasol stars
- Rick dangerous
- Shufflepuck cafe
- Speedball
- Spherical
- Spindizzy worlds
- Xenon 2

That's more than enough to keep me occupied for a very long time already.
Will post as I test more games.

Loic

Midwinter Barbarian(the adventure not the 1 on 1 beat em up) and Gauntlet all work for me although I have not played them to any length.

Defender of the Crown plays almost perfectly although jousting does not work properly and can only seem to catapult straight ahead at the castle.

Oids plays perfectly for me as does Jimmy White's Snooker

Either open your keyboard and press SPACE or (much easier) press R on your GP :)

New ones I've tried...

Solomon's Key (WOW that brings back memories!)
Rainbow Islands (now doesn't play in epileptic fit-causing mode with accurate renderer)
IK+ (now worth playing as with accurate rendering you dont have to wait 2 hours to get past the intro!)
Fantasy World Dizzy

Will post more as played....

Did you get the mouse to move on Elvira 2????

In the new version of castway the flickering graphics are now gone and it looks perfect but I can't play it cause of the mouse :(

Adios,
Matt

Yes, to play in Elvira 2, you need to pull the keyboard & press Space (or just any other key, I am not sure). Then you can play normally with the mouse.
I just love that game !
