all screenshots taken by @ForeverMan. i only did the cropping.

changed amiga model to a600 for all floppy variants, as all of them fail to load with error code 103 after the cracktro with just 512kb chip/512kb slowmem.

TODO: @frode the taito version is a different game then ubisoft/euro version. it should be moved to an own entry.

This game requires a dancing mat. can be disabled imho.

Also imported a couple of additional variants!

Disabled the broken GameBase variant

The game requires a fitnes mat to be used. can be disables imho.

this is a collection of the old nes megaman 1-3. all 3 games have different resolutions. so scrrens differ in size a bit.

Imported TOSEC variants.

Imported TOSEC variants.

changed amiga model for all floppy variants to a1200. else the game drops back to workbench with an out of memory error at the bridge.

Both Floppy Variants requre a workbench.

increased chipmem for the gamebase variant to 1024kb aswell to cover the additional disk drives.

WHDLoad, v1.0, AGA

increased the fast ememory to 64mb to avoid flickering on loading. 32mb would be enough tho

removed the global chipmem requirement. which is only 2 instead of 2048. this will cause the launcher to show a warning on start.

IPF, GB, CU Amiga, 2442

disabled slowmem for this variant to avoid serious flicker until the title appears.

ADF, GameBase

disabled slowmem for this variant to avoid serious flicker until the title appears.

removed the global floppy drive restriction.

ADF, DE, GameBase

the game is aga. so it nneds aga chipset

for a reason beyond my knowledge level 2 is just 256x208 pixels in size, while all other levels are 256x216 pixels,

Added ADF, v1.0, p, Atari ST conversion variant

TODO: Import GOG variants for other languages.

FAQ: If you play the game with cheats/codes you can't get past the 1st level boss.

apologies for thje just level 1 screenshots but this game i so terrible i coulnt stand it any longer

@guidobartoli80 Apologies for the delay, but have now approved the descriptions you have added

This game is a bit strange since its just a kill stageboss after stageboss. After the 5th boss the graphics get broken. I don't know if this is intended or a mednafen bug

i took only screens from the poker version, if oyu play the special version it is strip poker which also would get the game the adult tag

The 5th screenshot is from level 1 which seems to be the only level with 256 pixels wide screens. The other levels seem to have a 8 pixel wide border on the left side

TODO: @frode yu may want to consider to re-enable this game as it seems to be complete.

TOD: @frode you may want to consider to re-enable this one again as it seems to be complete.

TODO: @frode the national code for korean language (kr) isnt accepted.

switched screen 1 and 4. credits for them still go to @levelord

Uploaded cropped cover per request.

japanese release of parodius. might aswell be merged to parodius entry.

this is the japanese release of ninja gaiden trilogy. they might be merged aswell.

this is the japanese release of rocky rodent. could be aswell merged together

TODO: @frode you may want to consider to re-enable this one again.

@MatteAce Published now

A bit hard to make good screens here since the game is just crawl around and make your way to the exit. For the first mission for example the goal is to just kick a computer Just watch the longplay to get a clue what about the game is

TODO: Support write protection for disk(s).

Maybe it's a good idea to either merge this one with the Japanese version or simply disable it.

The hyper version and golden fighter are pretty much the same games, while the hyper version play a lot smoother.

You may want to consider to enable this game again since it is finished. it just never got released.

changed both floppy variants to a600 model because with a500/kick 1.3 model the game is asking for disk 1 forever after the title screen.

WHDLoad, v1.0

the .slave is asking for 1536kb chipmem so changing model to a1200

Screens may look a bit the same but the bombs seen scroll into the screen from any side. Just watch the longplay

ADF, GameBase

disk requires a model with kick 2.0 otherwise loading ends with a missing cd command message.

after the cracktro loading ends with a "protect the game disk message"

before each boss fight is a short vconvo in japanese. but since its a beatemup i assume the story isn't mandatory

Story mode may require a bit figuring out the different buildings inside the town, but once you get it its easy to use. The versus mode is a straight beatemup.

I changed to Amiga 1200 instead. HOL claims that the game requirements are 2 MB chip. Maybe it is more stable in this configuration.

the game is mostly in english language. just the track description is in japanese.

ADF, GameBase

increased chip mem to 1024kb to cover the additional floppy drives. with just 512kb chip the game drops back to wb after the intro.

changed amiga model to a1200 because any config without 2mb chipmem drops back to cli at different stages of loading even when the game should be ecs/aga.

sweet a multi platform bug

Looks like the SNES has also been the victim of a game with the "halfcolor bug"

screens 3-5 actually show the attack after the move which is shown on screen 2 xD. i wasnt sure to crop away the huge borders or let the screens as they are. so if you dont like them this way i can crop them .

credits for most screenshot go to @levellord i just cropped his and added a 5th.

Both variants require an a500 model with 1mb chipmemory with just 512kb chip loading fails with returncode 20. usuing a600 model wont help either because the shoots of the player and the enemies are invisible

WHDLoad v1.1 0908 - has sprite problem. Ship / Expedition not visible in the game.

I've run into a little problem with this game. M - map left alt - player 1 weapon right alt - player 2 weapon

I use win version of FSUAE.

ALT did not work, started going crazy, but figured out how to make it work:

Settings > Keyboard > Start with full keyboard emulation = ON

It fixed the problem.

I did not see there is already uploaded front cover for this game, please use goofers image.

Fixed game info (year, publisher, MobyGames URL) to reflect that his is actually Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals. According to Wikipedia, the PAL publisher was Nintendo.

FAQ: The European version is called simply Lufia.

Added __crop_exception = 1 to remove the warnings

FAQ: Several cracked/trained variants have a bug where the game cannot be completed. See http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=86203 for more information The cracktro version does not suffer from this bug.

The screenshots with just 639 width were just 639 pixels wide and have just cropped off the big border on the lower side of the screen.

Both cr Esprit floppy variants require a model with kick 2.0 because of the disk format.

i used the mobygames.com link to the atari st version sice this port is based on it.

i used the mobygames.com link to the atari st version of the game. since its a port from this version it fits i think.

Many WHDLoad v2.0 and v2.1 variants were unpublished to make the list of variants shorter now that WHDLoad v2.2 slaves has been imported.

MIDI (Roland) music is broken with this game in DOSBox since SVN revision 3791. The following patch fixes it, but the fix is probably not ideal:

replaced some screens with ones from later "levels". i didnt know a level consists of only 10 stages with always the same boss each .

ADF, GameBase

this variant supports loading only from df0:

FAQ: the 'legal' variations of JSW feature a copy protection on the start.

this can be removed with 3 pokes:

Disable software protect.
$86B0 from C3 to CD $86B1 from CA to C3 $86B2 from 87 to 86

FAQ: Jet set WIlly is almost famous for having been released with a number of key bugs that made the game incompletable.

Obviously, these variants are included as the release versions, but should they be disabled, given that official bug fixed versions are also available?

The four Official Pokes to fix the bugs were:

Moving an invisible object from the First Landing to The Hall (42183,11)
Removing a killer object from the Conservatory Roof (60231,0),
Changing a block in the Banyan Tree to a walk-through type (56876,4)
The Attic bug fix Poke (59901,82).

surely title and screen 1 should be swapped here?

TODO: Add more variants from World of Spectrum

Original game required player to own Gauntlet and load the main game first.

TAP version appears to include this, but TZX does not and has been disabled.

Frode suggested creating a variant with tape 1 of Gauntlet and the Deeper Dungeons as Tape 2.

Added variant WHDLoad, v1.01, De

Added variant WHDLoad, v1.3

Variant moved to the other one, and this game entry is disabled as "Duplicate".

@geeky_herman Sports driving variants moved to the correct game. Thank you

@abuehler I double-checked, WHDLoad, v1.3 slave is in the database and appears for me...

@levellord Had to reject these screens as well due to low quality (scaling and/or compresion artifcats).

@levellord I had to reject the screenshots :-/ Looks like they were (or have been) JPEGs or something. They contained noise. Screenshots must and be rescaled and/or have compression artifacts.

@levellord i can confirm the crash with a1200 model. requested a change to a600 model.

WHDLoad will freeze as soon as Accolade logo show on screen. I tried with A600 and it was working just fine. Thanks!

HI! I edited screen #5, but also uploaded unedited one as well. Please delete one or the other. Thanks!

@abuehler: technically its like this. whenever whdload website adds an updated slave for title x, i just copy & paste the There is a new WHDload variant available. to the variant notice of the variant. this way frode will notice there is a newer slave around while approving the vaiant_notice and can import the new slave once he have time .

Indeed free time is a luxury and I fully understand this therefore a big thank you for the time spent to keep things up2date.

@Frode: unfortunately not... the update is still not visible as of today. D/Generation has been updated but not Gobliiins.

@thevoice: you mentioned variant notice for changed slaves. How does this work? I couldn't figure this out yet for the case that I stumble upon updates.

Newest WHD is v1.3 and FS-UAE mentioned it in the status bar but this variant is not yet listed

I usually check for new WHDLoad installs during the weekend and mark updated ones via the variant notice to give Frode a hint there is changed slaves. sometimes it takes a bit until the appear (free time is a luxury ). But i personally think having a message for a few days is better then lagging behind with actual slaves for months or even longer xD.

Added variant WHDLoad, v2.2, 0677.

Added variant WHDLoad, v2.2, AGA, 0457.

Added variant WHDLoad, v1.3, 0065. @abuehler Yes, it seems that @thevoice have been quicker to mark the old slaves as oudated, than I have been in adding the new ones :p -But the new ones should be available now!

Added variant WHDLoad, v2.0-B, 2036.
