Hey everyone, my Wiz is in the mail, due in 48 hours... Can't wait.. But I have some questions
Firstly I keep hearing talk that all the developers have left this handheld for pandora and that there is no more development of emulators? Is this true?
I have some issues with emulators in general. I wish my system to be as easy to play as possible, so I can just hand it over to the kids and they can play it. However from my experience with emulators, you get this sort of problem (i'll use the c64 as an example). First you have to load the game, wait for it to load, watch the crack intro, wait for it to unpack, skip the trainer, wait for more unpacking/ play the game... For me it is desirable to be able to save snapshots (preferably current disk image in drive also saved) once the game has loaded, and to save these snapshots as replacements for the actual game images.. This way, none of all the screwing around while each game loads up etc.
I have heard that the stylus is quite inaccurate? I am especially hoping for somebody to eventually fix the apparent issue with the amiga emulator, so that the stylus can be used as a mouse replacement- this would be AWESOME. If it was up to me, I would allow one touch of the stylus to the screen to position the mouth pointer, but if the stylus is liften and repressed on the screen (within a certain distance) with 0.5 seconds then it would function as a left mouse click etc.
How many of the default games that come with the unit (or freeware type games that can be easily downloaded) support using the stylus?
I have also heard there is no working macplus emulator for the system? While the mac's are heavily mouse based, if the stylus was supported, it could be very cool... I'd LOVE to play some old macplus games such as Dark Castle which is a classic (and the Amiga version SUCKED compared to the mac version). The old mac also had lots of cool freeware games.
While I know there will be hassling around with emulator settings , some games working and some games not, and all that sort of stuff, I cannot wait for my unit. I have THOUSANDS of games ready to install on it, I have many hand picked games for the following systems: Amiga, C64, GBA, Super Nintendo, Flash Games, Nintendo... Still have to do a megadrive/genesis collection but it hasn't even arrived yet!
Yeah I really think being able to save emulator snapshots and use these as replacements for loading the disk images, I think this is the way to go for convenience when selecting a game to play. While many of the games are cool, navigating around the emulated system to get the game up and running can be a pain.
