I was thinking about getting a single board computer for PC98 emulation. Can anyone give me some information on the speed and compatibility of this core right now? And maybe a recommendation of what fruit to go for (raspberry, orange, banana)
Iām hoping it will be good enough to run most older games so I can make a standalone unit dedicated to pc98.
Your help would be very much appreciated.
Itās rather expensive cpu wise, a bit similar to DosBox requirement.
A Pi will probably struggle to emulate a cpu above 10~16MHz I think? (I donāt have one, judging from the results I got on my android phone)
So games like Touhou that were made for a DX2 66Mhz will have a hard time running at fullspeed on such devices.

I am sorry that it took time to reply.
Between rev. 14 and 16, WAB was implemented.
It seems that there was a problem with this difference.
When rewind is enabled,
I modified the part that saved NULL buffer to state save.
It never aborts.
However, I cannot confirm the problem when deleting retroarch.cfg.
(These are the same trouble, and it is lucky if it fixed)
Regard.

If FDD2 is empty at startup,
system/np2kai should be displayed when inserting a disk.
It is correct behavior.
However, if a disk is in FDD2 at startup,
that directory of disk image file should be displayed.
Donāt worry about rewind error so much, because there is a workaround (make sure rewind is turned off! 
).
More important is issue regarding crash I cannot understand or workaround (June 9th).
Wishing you good health! We will be here when you return. #PC98forever

Thank you for the quick reply. I wanted something cheap (preferably below 60 usd) and small. What minimum requirements would you recommend for a pc? And do you have any other ideas for alternatives?
I added the āManualā mode of Joy2Key.
You can assign RETROK key code to each button.
(D-UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/A/B/X/Y/L/R/Select/Start)
Please edit to the ālrjoybtnā value of system/np2kai/np2kai.cfg file.
Thanks to your nice idea !!

Awesome! I just tried it out and it works perfectly. Thank you so much.
For anyone else whoās having this issue and wants to remap the R button from right shift to left shift for slow movement in Touhou, the configuration value Iām using is:
lrjoybtn = 11 01 12 01 14 01 13 01 78 00 7a 00 20 00 32 01 08 00 30 01 1b 00 0d 00

This core is amazing, thank you for all of your hard work. Will it ever come back to vita? And the vita version currently crashes when trying to save, is there a workaround for this?
The development environment of Vita is inferior to others,
and standard OS functions can not be used.
Iām very inconvenienced to make cores with Vita.

Rev.17 has been released.
I have my rest time from this.
NP2kai core is completed with wisdom of many people.
I am grateful for the success, and thank to the people.
Everyone please stay healthy first.
Farewell.

Is there any help you can provide with remapping the controls for something the like Rusty? I need my D-pad for movement, X button for attacking, A button to jump, and possibly adding a secondary D-pad Up to Right Trigger, but the default controls are awkward to work with and I canāt figure out these codes are and which buttons/sticks/D-pad/triggers they correspond to.
Did you tried to āManualā mode of Joy2Key?
This mode can assign keycode to joypad with system/np2kai/np2kai.cfg file.
Please show Aethixās and my talking.
I have tried that, but I am having a hard time figuring out what these codes are supposed to mean and how they work. Is there some kind of reference sheet I can look at, because I have tried downloading Joy2Key from the website below but Iām not able to find what these key codes are.
Itās not an external program, itās a baked in functionality in quickmenu->options that assign keyboard keys to your gamepad.
buttons mapping: A=x B=z X=space Y=ctrl L=backspace R=rshift SELECT=escape START=return
But you probably donāt need that if you just want to swap gamepad buttons around.
To do this you usually go into quickmenu->controlsā¦ but I see itās not working for this core.
Thatās the biggest problem with Iām having with this core, is the inability to actually set controls through the Quick Menu. The only way around was to hard bind the buttons through RetroArchās Inputs settings, but this would cause other buttons to be swapped for other system cores and remaps Iāve made for them. I also seeing there are problems with certain PC-98 games such as Night Slave which uses the C key during gameplay to select the item currently highlighted from the power-up items you gathered, but without the C key being available, it makes it impossible to upgrade your mech or replenish shields in that game.
