About

GPengine is a full speed PCengine emulator for the GamePark's GP32 handheld.

Brought to you by black- ( Thomas Geisler ).
Graphics and gui by giffel ( M. Geisler ).

Installation

Either: Put the file GPEngine.fxe into the directory GP:/gpmm on your GP32.
Or: Install the file GPEngine.fpk with PClink.

GPengine searches first in GP:/gpmm/gpengine for roms.
You can put roms anywhere you like and navigate to them using the inbuilt file selector.

Files with the ending *.pce or *.zip are shown in the file selector.
If you use *.zip files the first PCEngine rom found in the archive will be used.

It might even destroy your GP32 and won't work stable on most machines !

ROM TypeThe TG16 uses another rom format than the japanese PCEngine so you have to preselect the rom type.
