uploaded FM Towns XML/Wheels/Video/Themes/Genres

[floatingyeti]

Just wanted to share a project I've been working on for the last few days.

Just uploaded FM Towns XML (all 52 English playable games I could find).

with full wheels, video, system intro, system/default theme, and genre xmls

I consider this a WIP and if anyone would like to help me touch up the artwork i'd appreciate it.

artwork: hyperspin FTP

videos: emumovies FTP

Nice work, this is a great system that is overlooked by many.

I think the database can probably be expanded to include a few more games, but this is a very good start. Did you make the videos yourself, if so I hope you kept the source files and upload them to Emumovies too.

[floatingyeti]

Thank you. No I didn't make the videos, I captured and edited gameplay videos from youtube.

what other games would you include? I wanted to include more but only added games that I could find roms for.

I know that there is much room for improvement. I just wanted to provide a good launching point for this system.

[brolly]

Ah too bad, was hoping for a good quality video set.

I don't know from the top of my head, Lemmings 2 or Alltynex for instance, but there are plenty more games available and surely quite a few will be playable.

[floatingyeti]

well hopefully this will inspire someone to make a higher quality video set.

the quality is good enough for me and I hope it will be of some use to the community here. My next project will have higher quality videos.

have you seen these for download?. I'd love to ad them. When I was making the xml I was limiting myself to the games I could obtain. If anyone could pm with links to any games that I could add or let me know which english friendly games to include let me know. I am aware of the two roms sites that come up with "fm towns rom" google search. I have found no other sources.

Awesome work. My wheel is like 7 deep for FM Towns based on this exact reason! Thanks

Just a friendly FYI:

The best/easiest way to obtain this whole set is at PD.

Search for Fujitsu and select the one labeled as [FREE] Fujitsu FM-Towns v0.5 (2007-07-31). Save yourself the wait and bandwidth by manually selecting the games on this XML for download.

If you download the latest version of FM Towns the file names are a freaking mess. Trust me you don't want that one.

Once downloaded perform a HLHQ audit. will show 9 games missing. You'll need to rename them by simply renaming the zip and not the contents.

For whatever odd reason, the contents are actually properly named to coincide with the XML.

What emulator is recommended?

[ei8ht]

There is a new one? *duck*

*facepalm*

What emulator is recommended?

I think Unz is the only emu that can handle FM Towns properly.

[zerojay]

Anyone know where the movies went? Can't find them on emumovies.

[zerojay]

I made a quick and dirty intro video available in my FTP folder, just a quick edit of a longish Youtube video. Good enough for me until Emumovies hits it.

how big is the PD download if u dont mind me asking?

thanks

[zerojay]

You couldn't check PD?

73GB

73GB

I was about to say I am not a member of PD.

But I forgot that I was a member in the past.

I'm on the poop list cuz I couldnt figure out how to get my router to upload faster or whatever.........young whippersnappers!!

not real interested in having my computer connected 24 hours a day anyway....

something just doesnt sound wise about that......................

[floatingyeti]

just google "fm towns roms" I actually downloaded the whole set before I used pd. I downloaded a plugin to firefox to queue multiple downloads. Go to a rom site and spend 10-15 minutes clicking on the individual download links to queue up the entire set and don't worry about upload ratios.

[craiganderson]

Thanks. That's what I do!
