Jordan Mechner is one of the few people involved with the game industry, along with Eric Chahi (Out of this World, Flashback), Geoff Crammond (Stunt Car Racer, Formula One Grand Prix), David Braben (Elite, Frontier), among others, that can really be considered "game creators". I'm not discoloring some other geniuses of game's world, but it's really amazing to realize the guys above mentioned have created some of their masterpieces without any help, virtually alone (programming, graphics and sound)! Well, Jordan Mechner made his first bombastic appearance with the now cult game "Karateka", released by Broderbund and present on almost 100% of Apple II machines and in lots of PC-XT, at that time. Some years later, Jordan released his most amazing creation, a game which had been converted for almost every computer and videogame system existent in the world: Prince of Persia. At that time, it was hard to find a single person who didn't become speechless in front of the outstanding movements of the main characters, and probably wondering "how did this guy make it?". Prince of Persia have all the needed qualifications to be considered a huge game: amazing graphics, excellent playability, wide range of different game styles (action, puzzle, RPG). indeed, a near perfect game. Prince of Persia was converted to PC-ENGINE by Riverhill Soft and, I must say, it was a heck of a conversion! It has similar graphics to "Prince of Persia 2", truly well-done, gorgeous playability, some nice designed animated sequences and, specially, one of the best soundtracks made for a PC-ENGINE game. and Prince of Persia was already outstanding only with the boring "blip-blops" on Apple II! Prince of Persia is a masterpiece. We can only say thanks to Jordan Mechner, for the creation of this wonderful game, and to Riverhill Soft, for its utterly brilliant PC-ENGINE conversion! Marcelo Reis . From http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/princeofpersia/princeofpersia.htm: The TG16 version, by Riverhill Soft, looks somewhat similar, also has the speed option, and somewhat different CD music (although they do share some tracks) but none of the cool cutscenes. Differences. Just a quick note for those who don't know what the differences between NEC PC-ENGINE platform (PC-9801) (Japan localized version - 1991) and TurboGrafx-16 (CD) are. The latter is the American version (The TurboGrafx-16 was the first video game console in North America to have a CD-ROM peripheral) of the Japanese PC Engine, both made by NEC in the late 80's, early 90's. NEC PC-ENGINE (PC-9801): Riverhill Soft (argent) was released on - 6 November 1991 . TurboGrafx-16 CD: Hudson Soft was released on - 1992 . The TurboDuo is essentially a combination of TurboGrafx-16 and TurboGrafx-CD hardware, plus the Super System BIOS + extra 192k RAM built-in to the motherboard. Developer Hudson Soft Co., Ltd.

Download NEC PC-9801 - Games (TOSEC-v2009-10-25) Update from Megaupload: Pc-9801 system disc download. I run PC-98 Bot. My only real authority over this subject is that I've put a stupid amount of time into playing PC-98 on an emulator. That being said, in my countless hours of doing this I've picked up on some stuff I wish was more apparent when I was first getting started. I'm hoping this guide can help make the dive a little bit easier when it comes to swimming through the strange library of the PC-98. This guide will try to keep things simple for beginners by limiting its scope. It'll only cover topics users will run into when running Neko Project 21/W with software found in the Neo Kobe Collection. If you're looking for something more or something not included in that scope, check out the end of the guide for some resources that might have you find what you're looking for. Download Emulator. Windows/Linux. If you're an OSX user I recommend Neko Project 2. While it’s not the strongest emulator in terms of accuracy and it's no longer receiving updates, it’s still a quality emulator that won't diminish your experience too much. For information on configuring Neko Project 2 I recommend checking out 46 OkuMen’s Emulation Guide . RetroArch. Where To Download Games. It’s sorted by publisher, so I recommend checking MobyGames for publisher details if you’re looking for a specific title. Configure Emulator. This section is written for users using with Project 21/W . If you're using Neko Project 2 some of this information will apply, but not all of it. None of this is required , but I do at least recommend following this guide’s tips for adjusting the CPU and Sound Sampling Rate immediately below. Other than that you can pick and choose which of these options are best for you, or apply these if you run into specific issues. Increase CPU & Sound Sampling Rate. Follow this path in your emulator toolbar: Emulate => Configure Under the CPU section you should see a dropdown for a CPU multiplier with the number ‘20’ preselected. Feel free to increase it to 42 for most games. If you're experiencing slow down you can turn it down to 32, but you'll most likely be fine. If your game is running too fast (this happens sometimes for older games) don’t be afraid to slow things down by setting the CPU multiplier to a lower number. Getting your CPU speed around 16MHz is usually good for these speed sensitive titles. Under the Sound section increase the Sampling Rate from 44100Hz to 88200Hz . There are rare situations where you might want a lower Sampling Rate, but generally speaking the higher the better. Adjust Sound Balance. NP2 has decent sound emulation, however with the default settings the FM level is low compared to actual hardware. Here’s the fix: In the toolbar navigate to: Device => Sound Option Turn FM from 64 to 128 in the Mixer tab. (if it’s too loud for your taste you can find a comfy place somewhere in between) Get Rid of Scanlines. Due to limited processing power at the time of release some games are rendered in a low vertical resolution. The hardware then makes the game fit the standard screen resolution by skipping every-other line while rendering. This can result in unappealing scanlines that darken the image. The "scanline" issue is common especially with action oriented games. The Queen of Duellist Gaiden Alpha Luckily we live in the future, and power isn't generally a problem when running 16-bit games. Neko Project has an amazing built-in setting that fills in these "skiplines" for games that use them. Follow this path in your emulator toolbar: Screen => Screen Option Select 'Use skipline revisions' and slide the scale all the way to 255 under the Video tab. Enabling Savestates. A common feature with emulators is the ability to savestate. While on first glance this option is seemingly absent from Neko Project 21/W, it's actually just hidden away. This is to avoid users accidentally corrupting their game's files when savestating. Personally I've never had an issue with it, and since the PC-98 library is nicely archived in the Neo Kobe Collection there's really little risk to it. Open 'np21w.ini' found in this same directory as your emulator exe file. If you don't see it, you may need to boot and close you're emulator at least once to generate it. Add the 'STATSAVE=true' in a new line under the '[NekoProject21]' section and save. Next time you open your emulator you should notice a 'Stat' tab that allows you to save up to 10 states. Adjust GDC Clock. Some games require your GDC Clock to be set to 2.5MHz instead of the default 5MHz. If a game requires this setting it'll sometimes glitch by duplicating the screen into segments or even refuse to boot. Luckily it’s an easy fix. Hold the 'End' key on your keyboard and reset your emulator while keeping the key held. Your emulator will now boot to machine options. Select 'ディップスイッチ２' using the arrow keys (as seen in the screenshot above) and hit enter. Highlight your GDC setting and use the right arrow key to switch it from its default 5MHz to 2.5MHz . Exit machine options and restart your emulator by hitting the bottom two options on both of the machine option screens. Everything should work now as intended.If you think you messed up the settings in your machine options a simple fix is to go back to machine options and hit the 'home' key on your keyboard . This will restore everything to their default values. How To Play Games. How To Load Software. Floppy Disk Images (common extensions are HDM, FDD and FDI ) can be loaded into either FDD1 or FDD2 , but unless you already have something inside FDD1 and need to use multiple disks you shouldn't need to use FDD2. Harddisks (common extensions are HDI and NHD ) and CD images are loaded into the Harddisk . You have 4 slots for different images, but typically you'll just be using one at a time. Harddisk drives need to be configured to use either harddisks or CD’s. By default Neko Project 21/W has IDE #0, #1 and #3 set for Harddisk Images and IDE #2 for CD’s. Changing these settings can be done in IDE Options . The Neo Kobe Collection contains both Floppy Disk Images and Harddisk images for most of the games it contains. When given the option, I recommend always using Harddisk Images . Some floppies require installation, and the ones that don’t often require disk swaps mid-game. All this work is done for you if you’re using HDIs. Now that you know the difference between software formats and drive types, loading software should be pretty easy: Select the correct tab depending on the format of your software. Select the game in your file explorer. Reset your emulator. Your game should typically autoboot. How To Start Game If It Doesn’t Autoboot. It’s rare, but occasionally after loading your software it doesn’t autoboot and presents you with a blank DOS screen. This just means we have to boot the software ourselves. Type "DIR /p" and hit enter. A list of the files on your disc should begin to be listed. If your list of files just includes folders, type “cd FOLDERNAME” to navigate to a different folder, then type “DIR /p” again to see what’s in that directory. Look through the pages until you find a file that looks like the executable for your software. It's typically an abbreviation of the name of the game with a .BAT extension . Type the filename into DOS and hit enter. You might have to do this with a few different files until you hit the right one. Once you find the right file your game should boot up. How To Control The Internal Mouse. F12. How to play CD Based Games. Under the Harddisk tab click IDE Option . Set the Master Primary to HDD and Master Secondary drive to CD-ROM . This is the default, but if you've been playing other games it might've wound up as something else by now. Extract both the HDI and CD images from the game's folder in the Neo Kobe Collection . Both images are needed to boot your game. If you don't have an HDI for your CD game go to the next section to see what to do next. Hit the Harddisk tab again, open your HDI in IDE #0 and your CD image in IDE #2 . Check the title of your emulator and make sure your CD image is listed after CD1. If it's not you might need to reselect the game until it holds. Reset your emulator and your game should boot. Using YAHDI to boot CD Software. Download and unzip YAHDI Set YAHDI.nhd as IDE #0 and your CD image as IDE #2 . Check the title of your emulator and make sure your CD image is listed after CD1. If it's not you might need to reselect the game until it holds. Reset your emulator If you get the screen above hit the W key and let the disk image adjust to your emulator configuration. You might have to just do this every so often. Select ‘MS-DOS Shell’ on the YAHDI home screen You should see an A, B, C and Q drive. Your Q-Drive is your CD Drive. Select the Q-Drive and hit tab. Select either the boot file or install file for your game. Some games require an install, but others you can run right off the CD. For this game I found the .BAT file that launches the game under the GAME folder.Try opening different BAT files until one works. If none work, there should be an INSTALL file somewhere else on the disc. I’ve included another section in this tutorial about installing games. Feel free to install your game right onto the YAHDI disk image. Game Recommendations. It can be overwhelming when deciding what games to start out with. Here’s 40 games I enjoyed that I think you might enjoy too. They're sorted by publisher since that's how they're sorted in the Neo Kobe Collection. Clicking on the title of a game will take you to a search result of all the screenshots PC-98 Bot has posted from that game, so you can see if it suits your vibe. If a game really clicks with you I recommend checking out that game's publisher's other games too. If nothing on this list looks cool to you, it might turn out I have really bad taste in PC-98 games. If that’s the case you shouldn’t get mad at me, you should feel sad for me. English Translations. Asenheim Project. Asenheim has translated and ported over a bunch of PC-98 visual novels to browser. If all this emulation stuff overwhelms you and you just wanted to jump into some English PC-98 VN's right away, I recommend just going there. Heads up though -- most, if not all, of these VN's are NSFW. Translation Patches. Amazing teams like 46 OkuMen are doing great work building English patches for use on actual hardware and emulation. Only a small number of titles have been translated so far, but the list translated games is growing constantly. ROMhacking.net is the general hub for finding translation patches. Universal Game Translator. Last Resort: Google Translate. Usually I just use the Google Translate App’s camera translation feature to translate games on the fly. This isn't a bad option for games where menus are consistent and dialog is minimal. Just aim your camera at the screen and try to figure out what Google Translate is trying to tell you.This setup is far from ideal, but if you’re really jonesing to play a specific untranslated title, don’t know Japanese, and don’t want to install even more unnecessary software to your computer this is your best bet. Manage Game Assets. How To View CG. PC-98 games are well known for their gorgeous pixel art, so it makes sense that you might want to skip the gameplay and just look at the art. Unfortunately this is harder than it sounds. PC-98 games use proprietary image extensions exclusive to certain developers, and sometimes even exclusive to specific games. Because of how niche these file types are, modern support for working with them is relatively non-existent. You do have a few options though, and hopefully one of them works! MLD is a useful program used for managing image files within DOS. Once you find out what image extension you’re working with, check this translated version of the MLD manual to see if MLD is compatible with your file. Just ctrl+f and search the document for the extension you’re looking for. Download DiskExplorer . This is used to import files from our computer into hard drive images used within our PC-98 emulator Download MLD . Open your zip and extract MLD.exe . Open your DiscExplorer zip, then open editdisc.exe . Select the HDI that has your game installed on it. editdisc will ask what type of image your HDI is, but the default is almost always correct. Import MLD.exe into the DOS folder of your HDI by dragging and dropping it. If you get an error saying there’s not enough space on your HDI you can download the YAHDI dump from this guide. I've included MLD.exe in the DOS folder of that. Just remember if you’re using YAHDI the location of your game will be on a different drive, so you’ll have to specify which drive when you type the image locations later on. Find your game’s image file location . Since your game is already open in editdisc, just click around until you find files that your intuition you tells are images. This can sometimes be a guessing game. I often look for files with names that mention CG, CHAR, or BG. Open your HDI in your emulator and go to your command menu . If your game autoboots, you just need to exit the game. If you’re using YAHDI just hit the esc key on the home menu. Type the following prompt: MLD -k -c *. . Obviously replace and with the information you found in step 5. If I was hoping to open the images in 'Farland Story - Tooi Kuni no Monogatari' I would type “MLD -k -c FS/*.GEM”, since the game’s images are in the FS folder and have the extension GEM. To explain this string: MLD launches the program, -k enables the option to tab through the images with space, and -c clears the screen after each image. For more information on MLD options read the MLD manual. If MLD supports your file type your images should begin to open one at a time. Hit space to tab through them. Susie. Susie is an old Japanese image viewer for Windows useful for its plugin support. A lot of the times you’re able to find plugins for even the weird file types used in PC-98 games. If neither of these options work, that’s normal. I recommend trying the spriters resource forums or the PC-98 Discord channel to see if anyone else has been able to find a solution for your filetype, however know there’s a large chance it hasn’t quite been cracked yet. Resources List. This guide is by no means meant to be comprehensive. If you have questions not covered in the guide I recommend checking out these resources: Pc-9801 system disc download. FreeDOS DBCS kernel (for IBM PC and NEC PC-98 series) This is a fork of FreeDOS development kernel, intended to handle correctly double-byte character set (DBCS) like Japanese: handle DBCS pathname on file manipulation (create, open, find, rename and so on) handle DBCS characters on input/output for character devices (not implemented yet) DBCS-awared NLS functions: upcase, downcase and collating. All tasks are working-in-progress and unstable (experimental) . FreeDOS(98) : FreeDOS kernel for NEC PC-9801/9821 series. Now FreeDOS DBCS kernel also supports not only IBM PC (compatibles) but NEC PC-9801/9821 series (and compatibles made by EPSON). The portion was based on tori's work (Another FreeDOS(98), and I (lpproj) add a little improvements: sync with latest fdkernel supports both FD (2DD/2HD/1.44M) and HD (SASI/SCSI) supports various sizes of sector (256 and 512 bytes for physical, up to 2048 bytes for logical) handle DBCS pathname improve compatibility with genuine (NEC) MS-DOS. Needless to say, this port is an experimental . You can build FreeDOS DBCS kernel (ibmpc or nec98) on Windows (x86/x64) or Linux (i*86/amd64).
