A follow-up to the recent PC Engine ADPCM discussion: Mesen2 and Geargrafx have updated ADPCM speed to 32100 in their codebases, although you may need to wait for a formal release. TurboEverdrive Pro updated firmware this week: krikzz.com/pub/support/...

OK, I have more information on the ADPCM. We have a tracking spreadsheet that you can contribute to, and the link to the test ROM is in cell A-1. You will need to run this on a CDROM-based system (as only CDROM systems have the ADPCM unit). docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Interesting story about improving the accuracy of all PC Engine emulation (hardware and software): Legend of Xanadu has very long animations (3 to 5 minutes) with ADPCM playing in the background. Some emulators gradually de-synchronize after a couple of minutes. We found out why.

Its alittle like amiga copperbars. Here's Chikkun (チックン) sprite from bonk's adventure w/the trick.

My attempt to restore the artwork of #Silpheed used on the cover of the #TSR80, #MSDOS, and #AppleIIGS home computer releases in the west. Removed logos/text, taking few liberties, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

Silpheed clean artwork used on the cover of the TSR-80, MS-DOS, and Apple IIGS home computer releases in the west. Image depicts a spacecraft being chased while being shot at by three others with lasers. There's a huge metallic structure on the right side, probably from a bigger spacecraft. A starry space background can be seen on the left side.

I was switching between Famicom & PCE/TG16 games and was annoyed at how PCE screens were shifted to the left compared to Fami. So I did some measurements: the Fami's active pixels start ~7.6us after the end of HSync while the PCE's can be 7.0us (early) or 8.47us (late), but never the same as Fami :/
