Compatibility of free cartridges
On this page: - NO, NO! - About playability - Games - Other cartridges (demos, tests)
NO, NO!
NO! I can't tell you how to get files of commercial games! Please try the free games, some clones are better than the originals! I will not answer any mail concerning commercial games!
And please: don't send me any games without prior arrangement! I'm using a private phone line with a simple modem to get into the net - and that costs lots of money here in Germany!
About playability:
A nice guy named HJ sent me some HTML's with his comments about the playability of emulated games. Informations about the method are provided in his Playability Testing document. Look at the "datasheet" for an actual game by following the link on its name. If a game has no link, there's none; if you like to help, look at the contact page.
This list contains only ROMs already tried. If your favourite isn't there it just means that you should test it and send me your experiences! Please don't forget to include these informations:
- The name of the game.
- The version of Phoinix.
- How it works, see the tables for examples.
- A short description of the game.
