I want my S-TV!

So, are Radiant Silvergun and other ST-V games currently playable in MAME? The emulator claims to support these games, but if they're not playable, there's no point in downloading them.

I have tried to get mine to work but the files are named different. It tries to load it. :hmm:

Ok I needed the bios file. :roll: It loads but I can't get it past the title screen. Maybe next release.

From the latest release notes MAME .77

Several ST-V games are probably now playable, however be warned many are very very slow, this is not a bug, sound is still poor or non-existant in most titles, these haven't been tested for long so could easily fail at later levels. Games which were marked as working in previous updates are also improved (shienryu etc.)

Puyo Puyo Sun - some priority glitches, otherwise looks good
Mausuke Ojama the World - mostly ok
Ejihon Tantei Jimusyo - missing alpha effect on lens
Virtua Fighter Kids - bad sprite colours, missing ground effects
Columns 97 - miscoloured sprites, background not correctly scaled
Cotton 2 - missing ground in places
Cotton Boomerang - missing ground in places
Die Hard Arcade / Dynamite Deka - missing floors / ceilings

there might be others too, a few can certainly be watched. this driver still needs a lot of work, I don't expect it to be completed soon due to the incredible complexity of this hardware.

Yes, STV games in Mame are quite a way from being playable to decent speed unfortunately. The time WILL come my friends...it is just a matter of WHEN.
