Run AAE for 25 mins. Maybe not all games, but Asteroids for sure will go dark. Analog control? Forget it. Rotate a vertical game? Forget it. There are a bunch of other little emulation issues (extra ship shows up in Asteroids after the first game, star field wrong in Tempest, missing sounds in Star Castle and Solar Quest, etc), but those are the big ones. AAE was pretty awesome but like most non-MAME emulators, it was eventually abandoned. The source was released (or some version of it) but no one has taken it over and no one is likely to. Still looks better than MAME, but MAME plays better. |

Outside of the big three and a special favorite (Astdelux, tempest, and bzone - and Black Widow) I don't much care. Star Wars would be a nice bonus, but not critical to me. Rotating, while more common now, is still pretty uncommon. Still, could possibly....probably....write a simple bat to make the video hardware rotate the desktop on game load. And it might not bork anything. |

Well, I can't complain too much. AAE is what got me into vectors and now I own a Tempest and an AD. I played a fair amount of Solar Quest on AAE, but I always felt like I was missing out because the spinner games didn't work right (TAC/Scan, Zektor, etc). I guess I'm just glad the MAME HLSL effects are coming along since they're likely to be supported for awhile. |

Anyone else getting a black screen when running a vector rom through .150 with HLSL enabled?. I can run raster roms fine with HLSL but not vectors and can toggle the black screen on and off with CTRL + Alt + F5 (HLSL shortcut). This is with the .150 HLSL files, is it just me or are the new vector effects broken with .150?. |
