Playstation emulator-z

Has anyone ever used these things? It's a plugin for the back of the PSX that allows you to play Gameboy, GameGear Master System, and PCEngine games. Loads the roms off a CD and plays em. I was wondering how the performance and support was for the PCEngine roms, and if there's a better solution (I.E. a dreamcast emu for PCEngine, altho I don't think there is one.)

I've heard that Emulator Z isn't that great, and I suspect that they're really just using emu code written by other people (IIRC there was at least one instance of the string "asterGear" in the original Emulator Z ROM). Bero...'s emulators alone would cover 3 of the 4 supported systems, and the Gameboy emu was probably ripped from Datel's Gameboy emu cart...

aside from there being no sound and it running at 4.3fps , its pretty much perfect emulation... LOL

He's right, it isn't that great.... the only thing the EmulatorZ is good for is being used as an import swap method....

There is a dc emu for tg16. It's called darkdc. It runs all games but runs them slowly. It's still in developement but if you do a google you should find it.

As far as I know, all of the cart based emulators for CD systems like PSX/SS all sucked. The only ones which performed 100% Perfectly were the ones with actual hardware inside (Eg, NES on a chip, Genesis on a Chip). The rest that were software based all were pretty poor.
