Here’s a quick test, name me at least one game that was memorable to you that ran on the Palm handheld PDA. Nope? Nothing comes to mind? This is exactly why I question the motives of companies such as Handcase, who now have released a PalmOS emulator (for free) and are selling games that actually [...]

Wokie Dokie. I hope some of you had some fun with my guide (click here) on running Neo Geo games on the Nintendo DS. Here are a couple of video that I shot to show that it works, featuring Metal Slug X and King of Fighters 2003. God bless the guys who made NeoDS. They [...]

I never had the opportunity to play on a Neo Geo arcade machine, but a couple of years back, I had the opportunity to watch a former colleague blaze through King of Fighters on one, in a single sitting, in an arcade right in the heart of Bangkok. That to me was pretty cool. And [...]

While Mario Kart DS delivered a racing experience rivalling its console counterparts and Speed Racer: The Video Game brought about movie visuals to life on the DS, there’s one racing game that would really give you a “whacked” out experience, just like what its title implies. Those of you who have played Warioware: Twisted or [...]

As the title mentions, there is a problem when it comes to running Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games on the Nintendo DS: the emulators have not found a way to produce sound! It’s a rather quiet experience playing Sonic the Hedgehog but even though the lack of sound is a shame, the game runs really fast [...]

Issue 48 of the excellent (but expensive, at least over here in Malaysia) Retro Gamer magazine did a spread on the Spectrum 128. It got me curious because you can hardly find one over here, and mentioning Spectrum will more likely conjure up colours of the rainbow than the thought of a computer. Despite the [...]

The idea for the 10th Edition of The ROM Report came to me when I was talking to a couple of my colleagues about 80s cartoon series. I remember being glued to the tube and being fed a diet of Thundercats, Transformers, Centurions, and Spiral Zone. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was also a favourite series [...]

NES gamers would probably remember Taito’s classic The Legend of Kage which was released in 1987 for the North American NES. The game was a 2D platformer and even though I’ve played it as a kid, I remembered distinctively that the hero was a ninja that could jump really high, and one of the enemy [...]

A big shout out to Pizza Pasta (The New New Era) for a very helpful tip on getting Earthbound Zero to run on the nesDS. I’m quoting his comment verbatim: You might know this by now but Earthbound Zero is totally playable in NESDS, you just have to mess with it a little on your [...]

In this Fifth edition of The Rom Report, we’ll look at running something special on the Nintendo DS, with an exceptionally good looking piece of homebrew software and a bunch of ROMs as well. According to Wikipedia, MAME, which stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, is an emulator application designed to recreate the hardware of [...]
