DVD players with built in "game function"

[majinbuu]

Hi there

I have recently aquired a Maya DVD-402 DVD/VCD/MP3/WMA etc... player with a so called built in "game function" that emulates the NES. It comes with a VCD which you use to chose from about 100 NES games.

The problem is that the emulation is pathetic. The speed is 1/4 speed of the normal nes speed and the sound quality is so bad you need to mute the TV. The games are unplayable.

Do any of you guys have one of these systems or one like it. There seem to be many cheap DVD players with this "game function". What are your experiences of it?

Thanks
Sam

Let's not forget the NUON project.

I'm just wondering, looking through the game disc that came with the player, there is a directory with all the games. However they are in a .bin format. They won't play through my NES emulator "nestopia".

Is there a way to play these games on PC at full speed, as some seem to be hacks and could be interesting. Or is the .bin a proprietary format for the built in "game function" of the player?

I know this question is way out there, but any info will help

Have you tried renaming the .BIN files to .NES? Most emulators (most programs, in general these days, I guess) will try to run any file anyway, so I doubt that'd work, but worth a try.

Or maybe they're .NES files without a header. I reckon if you uploaded one here, we'd be able to figure out how to turn them into .NES format. Seems unlikely that it would really be a proprietary format.

In this vein, there's also that DVD player from Shinco that came out about 7 years ago that could play Genesis ROMs burned to CD. I never had one, but I heard they worked pretty well. In fact, I think they used a Genesis-on-a-chip, not emulation. I'm sort of surprised that ths player you have does use emulation instead of just having a NOAC. Seems like that would have been a lot easier and produced better results.

If someone were to ah, upload an ISO, maybe we could figure things out.

But that's kind of illegal so I'm not asking you to do it. Maybe someone else could.

I tried renaming the files to a .nes extension, didn't work.

I would gladly upload some rom files if anyone knows a good filesharing site.

Or if someone PM's me their email addy, i can send it as an attachment
