Jason Carr Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Alright; I've been at it off and on and I'm down to the Hartung Game Master (which also needs a transparent image). I think I've done all I can handle for the day, but hopefully I can get back to this soon guys. Made some progress at least. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massatomic Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 @teeedubb@In virtute Dei the ability to edit system info has been there for a while now, click on the system you want and then go to the details tab, the edit icon will be hidden at the end of the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombeaver Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Commodore 64 (PP) is for "preservation project" - which are .nib files. They're really not designed to be used for emulation (I have no idea why those are so commonly distributed) - they do nothing with most C64 emulators, and even if you convert them into an emulator-usable format, most of them still won't work anyway from copy protection. The C64 Preservation Project was designed to catalog C64 games in their original form (including copy protection) and facilitate the creation of new disks (as in, actual 5 1/4 floppy disks) with additional tools they released. It's not a separate platform (it's just Commodore 64) and it's not something you can really even use with emulators. Commodore 64 (Tapes) is literally just another format some games came in (for the same system). Commodore 64 had tapes, cartridges, and disks. It's not something separate, it's still just Commodore 64. (cartridges plugged directly into the back of the C64) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, these do nothing in their native .nib format in all major C64 emulators (they "work" natively in this format in micro64, but most will end up still being unusable from copy protection), and even if you go to the trouble of converting them to g64 format with nibtools, the majority of them still won't work due to copy protection. They are not intended to be used in emulators. Most of the time when they get mentioned it's combined with an understandably confused "What am I supposed to do with these?", to which I can only say "Get rid of them and grab the Gamebase64 set." No Intro and TOSEC are both terrible for C64. TOSEC at least has usable formats, but it often has 5 or 6 dumps for every game and 50%+ of those are bad dumps, so it's a giant mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyommi Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Tiger Handheald Eletronics Tiger is most well known for their low-end handheld gaming systems with LCD screens. Each unit contains a fixed image printed onto the handheld that can be seen through the screen. Static images then light up individually in front of the background that represent characters and objects, similar to numbers on a digital clock. In addition to putting out some of its own games, Tiger was able to secure licenses from many of the day's top selling companies to sell their own versions of games such as Street Fighter II, Sonic 3D Blast, and Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. Later, Tiger introduced what they called "wrist games". These combined a digital watch with a scaled-down version of a Tiger handheld game.
