Shortlist

To do list

Portable programs needed

Problem emulators

  • A-Saturn - needs a BIOS file I can't find
  • Xe - needs GTK+
  • Daphne - needs some kind of video files
    • Looking up "Daphne for dummies" may be a pleasure
  • Makaron - seems to require Xbox 360 controller
    • To use a keyboard: change "X360PAD.dll" to "MakaronKEY.dll", under "[PortA]" in "Maple.ini"
  • Gearsystem - missing component
  • SSE - doesn't detect BIOS
  • Retrocade - couldn't get it to detect roms
  • Virtua - uses nonstandard rom set

Pricing notes

  • Tax in Japan:
    • 1989-04-01 - 1997-03-31 : 3%
    • 1997-04-01 - 2014-03-31 : 5%
    • 2014-04-01 - 2019-09-30 : 8%
    • 2019-10-01 - ? : 10%
  • Microsoft Points: phased out on 2013-08-26
  • Euro: introduced 1999-01-01
