Hey Gley, i just downloaded Golden Axe and was looking in the files. There is no rom.bin like in the Sonic app anymore. But i found something else, the file pack1.fsys. When i change pack1.fsys in pack1.rar i can open it but it asks for a password…
I think that in this file we can find the rom, we only need a way to open it…

And how about “Golden Axe” for iPhone? It has all three buttons, and may work better as a genesis emulator. I’ll give a try.

I’m glad they made it as an emulator and not as a shitty remake, sonic didn’t need to be remade.

Bah on emulators. Native or none at all.

Hopefully when the new iPhone comes out in june it will have the rumoured new CPU which will be twice as fast as the current one. Hopefully that will help with the frame rate.

Doesn’t that break Apple’s developer program license? You know the bit that says “An Application may not itself install or launch other executable code by any means [...]”

Seems that an emulator like this is *exactly* what’s prohibited.

Or is this one rule for big companies like Sega and one for the rest of us?

I am so disappointed with this game. A traditional control scheme doesn’t work with the iphone as you don’t get the tangibility of the buttons. That coupled with the crappy framerate and slowdown make for a big fat waste of £3.50 until they sort it out.

The blue blur returns!

Sadly, the 16-bit era is the only version that most fans want to remember.
