This is a remake of Resident Evil by the author of the Dragon Ball Z remakeGPower. Its very basic at the moment and features a couple of rooms which you can walk around, the room changing detection isnt accurate so when you change you will probably be slightly off from where you should be. The door to the left of the main room and the stairs are visitable in this version. In my opinion this game would look great in 16bit display but for whatever reason the author is using 8bit display hence the low quality background images.Downloads can be found atGP32Emu. If you have any feedback on this release please post on our Development forumhere. Read more about Resident Evil remake v0.1 (GP32)
GP32Vecx is a new Vectrex emulator by SDW ported using the sources from a PC emulator namedVecx. Its a release after two hours work porting it and its only running at around 40% speed, also there is currently no file selector so the emulator is pre-built with a game namedMine Storm. A newer release may be made with a file selector but most likely noother major improvements will be made because SDW found out after there was already another Vectrex emulator available on the GP32.Downloads can be found atGP32Emu. Also please give any feedback on the emulator to a post SDW made on our forums announcing the emulator by clickinghere Read more about GP32Vecx v0.1
