I know it is not pretty but the point of the FAQ is to update constantly with all the new questions arising. When everything quiets down, a more sensible FAQ will be put out.
Come to #emuhq on Efnet using Mirc. There tell me (jandaman) in the channel what games do/don't work after checking this list. Only say it once please. Hopefully, we can put as many games as possible in the compatiblity chart.

About

This emulator was started in March of 1999. It is coded in C++, C, and Generated x86 Machine Code. In other words the dynaCompiler generates the machine code. It will be open source and is based on TrueReality source but has been modified. This emulator is not TRWinGL, the openGl port of TrueReality.

System Requirements

Have to wait for release but it is DirectX based. Good system would be like a PII 300, 32 ram, good video card with 8 megs of ram. Will have to wait for release.

FAQ

Q: Does the emulator have sound?

A: Demo roms have sound working. Commercial roms do not play sound in this release. Wait for next releases to support sound.

Q: Does the emulator support joysticks?

A: Yes and no. There is no native support for joysticks in this release so you will have to wait for next release. However, if you have a joystick that comes with a keybinding program, you can use that. Gravis gamepads and Sidewinders come with keybinding programs that allow you to assign keyboard keys to the buttons on the joystick. If your joy does not have a keybinder program, see if a program called "rbjoy" works. Sorry, I do not have the program on the site so you will have to search the net for it.

Q: Ok then, what are the keys?

A: Start= S A&B=Z&X

Q: Will the emulator support savestates?

A: The feature is buggy and might not be included with initial release. It will use eeprom meaning you can use the same savestates found at www.dextrose.com This format is also being used by Nemu64.

Q: Do byteswapped roms work?

A: Should work.

Q: Got a "Failed to create d3d device" error

A: Change your desktop resolution to 16 bit color because Voodoo cards cannot do 32bit color. Reduce your screen resolution if the above does not work too.

Q: Game X won't work, can I try anything while I wait for next release?

A: Try changing the "ucode" to a different value.
