Still on the subject of neoDS, a Neo Geo emulator for the Nintendo DS, here’s a video of Pulstar being played on it. A bit of background here, Pulstar was conceived for the Neo Geo as a Gradius clone, so much so that people actually thought the company responsible was staffed with ex-Gradius developers. The [...]

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 [...]

D-Pad Hero is a really cool homebrew game for the NES and it’s pretty easy to see where the game draws its inspiration from, which is Guitar Hero and its ilk. The game is freely available from the developer’s website in ROM form. While you can run the game on an emulator on a PC, [...]

I spent RM 160 on video games last night. I was at Mutiara Complex over at Jalan Ipoh where I purchased the first of two games. While there were a whole bunch of depressing (not to mention ancient) stores on the ground floor, there was a half decent video games shop on the lower ground [...]

This Kid Icarus stuff is rather tough. No wonder I have got no love towards platformers. However, the “I’m Finished!” message had me in chuckles the first time it appeared after the character plunged to his death. I still think it’s due to a programming issue (deliberately or otherwise) that doesn’t allow the player to [...]

The last ROM Report was written like months ago, on how to run Sega MegaDrive games on the Nintendo DS. Pretty retro stuff huh. Well, in this edition of The ROM Report, we’ll take a look at something that I can relate better, running an all time favourite PC game of mine, Quake II on [...]

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 [...]

The ROM Report is a series of articles that I started writting back when Nine Over Ten 9/10 was on Blogspot. The gist of the articles is mainly on retro games from consoles such as the NES, SNES, Megadrive, etc and how to run them on the Nintendo DS courtesy of emulation from a rich [...]
