Welcome to MagicEngine homepage!

MagicEngine is a PC-Engine console emulator.

The PC-Engine - also known as the TurboGrafx-16 in the USA, was a nice little machine made by NEC. The first model came out in 1987 followed one year later by a CD extension that made the PC-Engine the first console to have CD games.

This was quite an impressive machine, with good graphic capacities (16-bit video processor, 512 colors, 64 sprites) and a fast and powerful 8-bit CPU. It also had a very good game collection, with unique and high quality games. And even today some PC-Engine games are still without an equivalent on modern consoles. Of course if you only enjoy 3-D games, well, the PC-Engine may disappoint you a bit, but if you love good old 2-D games, especially shoot'em up, give it a try, it really has some excellent games!

But we are sure that you already know all that.

Go find those PC-Engine CD-ROMs that you stored in a cupboard a few years ago, remove the dust on them, and go downloading MagicEngine!

And don't forget to register after...

MagicEngine emulates the PC-Engine almost perfectly. The emulator has:

• full HuCard emulation!
• full SuperGrafx emulation!
• full CD-ROM and Super CD-ROM emulation!
  (with a custom System Card - no BIOS ROM needed)
• full Arcade Card emulation!
• very accurate and fast emulation!
• game save/load feature!
• nice and easy to use graphical user interface!
• five players mode - fully configurable!

and it's actually available for three operating systems, namely:

• DOS  [only a very old version (v0.91) is available for DOS]
• Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP, using DirectX or OpenGL
• Mac OSX, using OpenGL
