TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine Emulator for PS3


Submitted by greg; September 21, 2011
One of my all time favourite consoles -- The TurboGrafx 16 ... or PC Engine, depending where you're from. Whatever the case -- TG16 was the console in the early 90s. Mad classics -- all the Bonk's, Splatterhouse, Bloody Wolf... It goes on and on... Now I'm not sure the developer's handle -- explusalpha0, Robert Broglia? Either way PCE.emu is running at 60 fps with HuCard's and CDs. PCE.emu Features
  • Accurate emulation and high compatibility rate (Note: Data swapped TG16 roms are not supported, see known issues below for a fix if you're getting a black screen on load)
  • Backup memory and save state support, auto-save and ten manual slots for save states
  • Supports ROM-based games in .pce and .sgx formats, optionally in .zip files
  • CD emulation via loading CUE or TOC+BIN files (select a system card rom in the options, for versions <= 1.3.0: place syscard.pce in same directory as CUE file)
  • CUE files support external audio tracks in Ogg Vorbis & Wav (PCM, ADPCM, etc) formats (not working on PS3 currently)
  • Configurable on-screen multi-touch controls & keyboard support (needs Android 2.1+ for multi-touch)
  • Multiplayer-capable Wiimote + Classic Controller and iControlPad support (iOS & Android)
  • Portrait/Landscape orientation support (auto-orientation on iOS & Android)
Known issues
  • Data swapped TG16 roms cause a black screen or other errors. These are technically bad dumps and are not supported. For a quick fix, open them using Ootake and save a fixed rom when prompted.
  • No international character support in menus
  • Not really a bug, but when running on a case-sensitive file system like iOS uses, make sure your CUE file specifies references in the same case as on the file system.
And for anyone on-the-go wanting to emulate the TG16 can visit the source link below.
PCE.emu is a PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 emulator written in C++ for Android, iOS, WebOS and PS3. It uses the emulation backend from Mednafen and is built on top of the Imagine engine. The source is released under the GPLv3 license.

you can easely emulate those in your computer, connect the pc to your tv if you don't have a big monitor, and then use your ps3 controllers to play them.
Ds3 tool does a great job with your ps3 controllers, and if you have btooth, you can use them wireless, if not, usb of just buy a btooth usb reciver.

yea look into proskeet or other NAND Flashers read the Fourms for info (and SEARCH before posting) but they all requre oping up your system and risk destroying it. i would recommend getting a ps3 that is running 3.55 or lower on ebay or crigslist (even if its an old fat one) you can easily upgrade the hard drive
