If you need to insert another disk during the gameplay, please read the 'CHANGING FLOPPY DISKS' section.Īlthough the PC-98 is a computer and it uses a keyboard, I have mapped the most common keys in all the games to the buttons of our joypads, so we will be able to play several games with the d-pad and the normal buttons. The emulator will automatically mount it in the 'Floppy Unit A' of the PC-98 and will run it. If you want to play a game that has SEVERAL floppy disk images, you must select the FIRST of them. If you want to play a game that has only one file (for example one HDI file, or one FDI file) simply click on it in the rom list, and the game will be launched. This emulator currently supports PC-9801 games and some PC-9821 games. but you can use 'Virtual Floppy Image Converter' to convert it to D88 (or to FDI if you are lucky). It is easy too, although some games may have several floppy disks images, and you will need to change the disk when the game asks for it.ģ- D88: This is a supported format that will work, but you will usually need to do some things to launch it (write some command.) so it is less comfortable.Ĥ- FDD: This format does not work in this emulator. Here are some of the supported formats, ordered from the best to the worst choice:ġ- HDI: This is a hard disk image, it is the easiest format to launch: simply click and play.Ģ- FDI: This is a floppy disk image. The emulator supports a good amount of formats, both hard disk images and floppy disk images. Roms MUST be placed uncompressed in the 'roms' directory.

The PC-9821 version is only needed in the most modern games, like 'Alone in the Dark' or the 'Touhou' ones.Ĭopy the emulator in your hard disk. If you have any doubt between the core that you should use for each game (PC-9801 or PC-9821) simply launch a game with the normal A button (PC-9801). Read the 'PC-9821 emulation' section for more information.

Basic PC-9821 emulation: now we can launch PC-9821 emulation (instead of the basic PC-9801 one) selecting a game with 'X' instead of 'A', in the rom list.

Savestates support: now we can load and save states (select 'Load State' or 'Save State' in the Main Menu).

There are several internet sites where you can check if a game has adult content, like these ones: Keep in mind that it can be a bad idea to download and test random PC-98 games without having checked if they are adult-rated, especially if you are playing with children.
