The server that hosts MagicEngine web site will be down for maintenance this evening, from 9pm to 11pm (GMT+1), so don't worry if you see the site going down, it's normal.

By the way I'm on holidays at the moment, I'm resting for a few days and after I will try to finish this new version of MagicEngine. ^^;

The new version may be a bit late.
At the moment I'm running a lot of tests on a true PC-Engine to tune the new emulation core but it's taking me more time than I had planned so the release will probably be late of one or two weeks, this should push it to early february. ^^;

Some news of MagicEngine!

We have decided to split the big update we talked about a few months ago in two versions, like that you will be able to enjoy it sooner.

And we will release the first version this month, this version will contain a lot of improvements, many new options, and some new features! Emulation improvements and the new MagicSystem will be in the second version.

Here are a few screenshots of the new menus :

Yes, we finaly completed the options panel of the load menu.

Now it is possible to enable/disable the different parts of the PC-Engine hardware, this can be used, for exemple, to enable the Arcade Card hardware for Super CD games that are Arcade Card enhanced. New options were added too to control the video overscan, MagicEngine can now display the whole 242 scanlines of the PC-Engine.

Yes, that's a cheat engine.

We will announce the release date soon. Stay tuned!
