Picodrive is a Master System, Megadrive/Genesis, Mega CD/Sega CD and 32X emulator running on Maemo-Leste.
It is working only on Nokia N900 and Motorola Droid at the moment (thanks to their physical keyboards).
The emulator uses the generic GTK UI (this version of Picodrive is based on a well working raspberry version and not the old maemo one)
Status
- Games are playable, with sound and input, running at 30 fps on N900 with frameskip=1.
Without frameskip and sound, games run at 60 fps with default CPU frequencies.
Default configuration works fine (with sound and 30 fps). Like other emulators hildon compositing must be deactivated while playing, using Ctl+Shift+N.
Keymapping can be modified directly in the config file. WARNING: on N900 in the GUI, 'enter menu' key is associated to 'escape' key. 'back' is associated to 'e' (hardcoded).
Tested Megadrive/Genesis games
Aladdin, , Behind Oasis, Desert Strike, Crazy Pinball, Phantasy Star 4, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Street Fighter II CE, Strider, James Pond, Landstalker, Monster World, Quack Shot, Road Rash, Street Of Rage 2.
Tested 32X games
After Burner Complete, Knuckles Chaotix, Mortal Kombat 2, NBA Jam, Star Wars Arcade, Virtua Racing Deluxe.
Tips
If (for some reason) the GUI is not working, it is possible to directly launch a game from command line:
/usr/games/picodrive/picodrive /game_dir/game.zip
Default keymap is visible in /home/user/.picodrive/config2.cfg
TODO
- Implement sane default keys for the devices
- Try to implement Maemo 5 -touch- UI
- Find a way to get a proper fullscreen mode
