Strider on pc engine??

If there are any coders out there looking at this thread, might I recommend you look at this:

This is an emu that has been sitting quietly in the backround. It is a multi-emu, but can be compiled so that it only emulates one system.

Most recently, the PC Engine part of it was ported to the Xbox. I have to say it ran virtually eveything I threw at it....and it ran perfectly. Strider, Drac X, you name it, it plays it. WAV or MP3 is supported.

I hope this interests just a few of you.

That sounds very interesting indeed...wonder how hard it will be to port over to PSP.

Oh yeah...that's the one with the bonus stages.
It's not a bad port, but the controls are very stiff. It can get pretty frustrating at times, when there's lot of little enemies on screen and your sword doesn't react fast enough.

BTW, is it just me? or...Who else can't wait to play Strider II on PSP?

Freaking 'A, I think that's the last retro game I'm waiting on (well, SFIII as well, but that's just not going to happen unless Capcom waters it down). The only time I ever saw it was at a smokey arcade when I was an even poorer student so I never got a chance to pump more than a coin or two into it, but it was simply sweet. Why hasn't Capcom ever released that for a home console??? (or, should I say, HAVE THEY?) That ran off of lowly PS1 level hardware if I'm not mistaken, so it should be cake for any of the current generation consoles, shouldn't it?? Given the MANY MANY different Strider ports to the MANY MANY different consoles, I'd figure that this would have been a no brainer. Especially since it was heads and shoulders more exciting then the prequel ever was.

@matt2k - Thanks so much for posting that mednafen link! It looks like this actually runs on OSX?? I've been looking for a PCE emulator for OSX for a long time! Deffinately want to check this out...

The arcade game of Strider 2 is awsome! I only played this recently on mame on the pc and its a proper sequal in sort of 3d, unlike the cack version on the megadrive. The psp needs strider 2!!!!
