This is the RISC OS port of Jens Ch. Restemeier's Virtual PC Engine. VPCE is still under development and this port is not yet at full speed, but I thought I would release what I've got since it is running fairly well. It requires a VIDC20 (RISC PC and A7000) because it uses a definable 256 colour palette, but it's only playable on a StrongARM anyway. The speed, on a StrongARM, varies between about 15-37 fps but the average speed is currently around 24 fps (a real PC Engine runs at around 60 fps).
To use VPCE, just find a PC Engine (often referred to by the American name, TurboGrafx) game, set the type to &0d9 and double click on it. Simple! The cursor keys act as the d-pad, A and S as buttons I and II, and RETURN and SPACE as RUN and SELECT. Escape will exit the emulator.
Note: There wont be any further development of this port as I'm working on my own PC Engine emulator.
