Ok, since the other thread turned into a my dick is bigger than yours, i decided to make a offical thread with *only* contest news and info.

I have been beta testing a PJ64 port, and the author has given me permission to give you guys some details.

As of this very moment, it can win goals 1 & 2  

Though, people pride their work, and there are issues to be resolved. Alot of roms dont load, or load and crash, or have other issues. Since alot of these are rom specific, it is a very tedious process going through each rom and fixing things.

PLEASE keep in mind that i am NOT trying to hype this. There will be a n64 emu, and there WILL be issues.

Here is a list of compatible roms with the current version. Compatible meaning fully playable with no or very minor issues, with sound/graphics/controls/saves/save state/zip support.


1080 Snowboarding
A Bugs Life
Aerofighter's Assault
AeroGauge
AirBoarder
All Star Tennis '99
Automobili Lamborghini
Banjo Kazooie
Bust-A-Move '99
California Speed
Centre Court Tennis
Earthworm Jim 3d
Extreme-G
F-1 Pole Position 64
Gex 64 - Enter the Gecko
Iggy's Reckin' Balls
John Romero's Daikatana
Looney Tunes - Duck Dodgers
Mario Kart 64
Mario 64
Monopoly
Paperboy
Southpark
StarFox
WaveRace
Wheel of Fortune
Rampage - World Tour









Now, as a final note...

DO NOT DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING..

Ask me when it will be out. It is up to the author. It could be tomorrow, it could be a week, it could be 4 weeks from now. Its up to him to offer it up. It is obvious that he cares about a quality program and not just contest money, or he would release this RIGHT NOW.

Ask me WHO it is. I honestlydo not know if he has a internet alias, or anything. We keep in touch however we do, and its non of anyones buisness. It is his right to stay anonomous.

Ask me how the progress is going.

Ask me "WHY DOES <SO AND SO> ROM NOT WORK?"

Ask me "WHAREZ CAN I GETS IT?" -  IT IS NOT AVAILIBLE YET

Email me asking any of these.

Messaging me (whether via irc or through forum PM) where or when or any of these.

Asking me where you can download roms.

Asking me where you can download games.

Now that those questions are cleared up, I will be sure to keep this thread updated. I assure you that if i recieve any futher information, i will post it.

PS- The author WILL release his sources, as the contest requires

UPDATE

Just to let everyone know, NO, i have not forgotten about this thread or the contest. The author has been spending all his availible time optimizing the code to allow more free memory.

To answer the first and formost question,

NO, zelda will probably not play in the first beta.

However you might see a few 32mb roms playable. Alot of work is being put into the project, and current progress is going well.

I am moving in 2 days (friday may 30th) on a road trip back to my home in california, so i would not expect any more updates from me. I can assure you all you will have a beta on or before June 9th, as the first goal's deadline requires.

Thanks to everyone who donated to made this happen, and a big no thanks to anyone who bitched whined and moaned about the contest. Simply dont use the beta.
