* BACK button: Cancel or Exit (exit from a menu, or exit from the emulator) * BLACK button: In many systems, it is the "Select" button * WHITE button: In many systems, it is Start or Action * A button: In many systems, it is Start or Action Some special controls that work in almost all the systems: The main buttons that you will use to start a game or for "action" are the A BUTTON or the WHITE BUTTON in almost all the supported systems, and BLACK button to select game modes.Īnyways, the "README-SYSTEMS-DETAILED.TXT" file will have information about the way to use each system. In almost all the systems, you will be able to control the games with the left analog stick and with the dpad. You can configure them in the Main menu, but we have created good configurations for almost all the supported consoles and computers. MESS have some "Generic" controls (valid for all the systems) and also some "specific" controls for each system.
So, if you have a game for the "Super Cassette Vision", you have to copy it in the "roms/scv" path (more subdirectories are not supported). Those subfolders inside "roms" contain both the BIOS files of the systems and the ROMS (games). Do not change the names of these folders! For example, "roms/scv" is the folder for the "Super Cassette Vision", and "roms/cdimono1" is the folder for the Philips CDi.
Inside of that folder, there is a subfolder for each system. You must not change the directory structure, and you only need to know that there is an important folder named "roms". Green systems should be easily controlled with a joypad. Yellow systems usually need a keyboard to play many games (you can use the Virtual Keyboard if you don't have a real keyboard plugged on your Xbox). In the list of systems, you will see that some of them are green, and other systems are yellow. If the emulator displays a message telling "press OK", simply move to left and right the left analog stick, and the game will begin. After that, you will see all the games for that system, and you can select the one that you want to play. The emulator works easily: simply launch the "default.xbe" and select the desired console/computer that you want to emulate. Pressing both triggers simultaneously activates the "Fast forward" (used to make load times shorter in some systems), and moving the right analog stick displays the virtual keyboard.
The most important keys are the A and WHITE buttons (they are normally used to Start a game and/or Action button), the START button (Main Menu) and the BACK button (exit/cancel). There are generic controls, and specific controls for each system. Please don't change the structure of the directories. For example, roms for the "Emerson Arcadia 2001" must be copied in the "roms/arcadia" folder. Systems in green color can be usually played without keyboard, while systems in yellow color need to use a keyboard (real keyboard, or the virtual keyboard of the emulator).Įach system has its own folder for the roms. When you launch the emulator you will see all the supported systems. Mores systems will be added in later releases. At the moment, we have added emulation for these ones: Bally Astrocade, Casio PV-1000, coCo 1, 2 and 3, Emerson Arcadia 2001, Epoch Game Pocket Computer, Epoch Super Cassette Vision, Fairchild Channel F, Fujitsu FM-7, Fujitsu FM77-AV, Funtech Super A'Can, Hartung Game Master, Mattel Aquarius, Mega Duck, PC-6001, PC-6601, Philips CDi, Philips VG-5000, Sharp MZ-2500, Sharp X1, Socrates Educational Video System, Sord M5, Tatung Einstein and VTech Laser 200. We finally managed to port the MESS emulator to Xbox, so we finally have emulation for a lot of new systems. This is a Madmab and HCF co-production after years of work. Emulated systems are currently Bally Astrocade, Casio PV-1000, coCo 1, 2 and 3, Emerson Arcadia 2001, Epoch Game Pocket Computer, Epoch Super Cassette Vision, Fairchild Channel F, Fujitsu FM-7, Fujitsu FM77-AV, Funtech Super A'Can, Hartung Game Master, Mattel Aquarius, Mega Duck, PC-6001, PC-6601, Philips CDi, Philips VG-5000, Sharp MZ-2500, Sharp X1, Socrates Educational Video System, Sord M5, Tatung Einstein and VTech Laser 200.
