RE2 Game.com

[Helegad]

I have a ROM and the Game.com BIOSes, and I was wondering if anybody would be interested in playing this? I can't on my computer: the video card in this is a fucking piece-a-shit, but I'll sort it out eventually.

With Dot's permission, I'll upload all the required things.

You need MESS to start with, though.

Would anybody be interested?

[Gradon]

I'm pretty sure it's illegal. :O
Unless otherwise stated, we should stick to that.

[rewak]

I dunno, the GAME.com is discontinued and long forgotten, it might be ok. I wasn't aware there was a way to play GAME.com games on the PC.

[Helegad]

An emulator was created, but banned from release by Tiger for some reason. However, it seems MESS can emulate the Game.com...

[Gradon]

"For some reason."

[Helegad]

Nintendo doesn't seem to mind VisualBoy...

[kevstah2004]

Yeah MESS can emulate the game.com but it's only in early development so it can't actually run the game at all yet :-( , I'd be interested in a ds game.com emulator though cos it has a stylus thingy like the game.com.

[Biokk]

I actually have the Game.com and Resident Evil 2 for it.. Believe me its not worth playing!!! haha

[Project Omega]

I have it as well, mostly just for collection purposes.

[Helegad]

I have the boxed Game.com RE2 but not the system.

[JcFFx]

I always wanted to try it out just to see how bad it is =/

Though I don't think discontinued/forgotten = legal. So... >_>

[Helegad]

Isn't it funny? GBC ROMs on the net are as common as oxygen particles nowadays. Why isn't Nintendo doing anything about it?

Is Tiger still a company anyway?

[Project Omega]

Yeah, Tiger Electronics is still around (subsidiary of Hasbro Inc). They currently make Furby dolls, FurReal dolls, HitClipz, and a few other electronic gadgets.

[Helegad]

Lol, I recognise Furbies! They used to be all the rage.

So Tiger evolved, eh? Good for them

[Project Omega]

Well, it's more like they got bought out by a bigger company. Still, they they're still around, just not their own company.

Side note: I used to have a bunch of old Tiger handheld games when I was kid, but sometime during my youth I salvaged the parts from them in hopes to make a robot. As a kid, I highly underated a computer's involvement in making robotics. It wasn't until highschool when I realized actually how much programming and work went into controlling even basic functions of a primitive robot. Heh, I would just solder things on a bread board and hope it would something... Too bad the junior electrical engineer playset my dad got me didn't have the instruction manual...
