Instruction & Tip

* It does NOT support *.zip file.
* You can extract it (*.pce) and put it on your sdcard.

* For Droid, for most of games, you need to disable "Turbo Mode" otherwise, it'll run too fast! (exception => Dracula X or other high profile games)

* For older device, always keep "Turbo Mode" On! and for Dracula X or other high profile games, please set the frame skip level to maximum.

HowToPlay CD-ROM!

[System Card]
1. Find PC-Engine System Card (ver 3.0 should work fine).
2. Unzip it (*.pce) and rename it as "syscard.pce".
3. Put it under /sdcard/pce16 on your sdcard.

[CD-Rom]
1. Use your PC, find CD-Rom games (eg. doperoms.com) and extract all files.
** I recommend trying Super Raiden CD first as an exercise.

** All audio files need to be converted to *.wav
** I use winamp to convert them but you can use your own.

2. Run WinAmp, goto Options -> Preferences -> Plug-ins -> Nullsoft Disk Writer

3. Click configure and select "Output to directory containing source files", Playlist index at the beginning -> disabled, Output File Type -> "Force WAV file", Conversion -> PCM 22.050 Khz, 8bit, Stereo

** For Droid or high-end device, you can choose 44.1Khz but it will double the size.

4. Drag all *.mp3 files to winamp and it will start writing *.wav files to your folder.

5. Open a text file with *.toc extension (eg. DracX.toc)

6. Add all Track file names with "Leadin" and "Leadout"

** Example **
Leadin
Track01.wav
Track02.iso
Track03.wav
Track04.wav
Track05.wav
Track06.wav
Track07.wav
Track08.wav
Track09.wav
Track10.wav
Track11.wav
Track12.wav
Track13.wav
Track14.wav
Track15.wav
Track16.wav
Track17.wav
Track18.wav
Track19.wav
Track20.wav
Track21.wav
Track22.iso
Leadout

** Or you can add the starting offset

Leadin
Track01.wav 00:48:00
Track02.iso 00:00:00
Track03.wav 00:56:00
Track04.wav 01:03:00
