I know there are command line switches for this emulator but I can't remember what they are and try as I might I can't find them, I've looked through the help file and the net and can't find them anywhere, please can someone list me the switches or show me where they are written down before I pull the last of my hairs out??

Go with FCE Ultra for both PC and Xbox

Ta for the news Here's what's new Atari related. System Driver Changes: ---------------------- - [A2600/A7800] Fixed reset handling. [Nate Woods] - [A7800] Fixed RAM0 and RAM1 bank handling, which has been broken since MESS 0.61. Ikari Warriors now runs, among other games most likely. [Nate Woods] - [A7800] Video patch; Choplifter runs better among other games. [Keith Gerdes] - [A7800P] Minor PAL fix. [dannonew]

There's c64/spectrum/cpc versions of it, so I suppose it's possible there's an atari 8bit version.

Yes they were all enhanced versions of already existing sega cd games. The only other game missing from chrisbid's list is Supreme Warrior.

They all had significantly better graphics, of course when I say all there was only about 6 CD/32x games!

Not as far as I know.

I've also got a Gravis controller. I couldn't do without it! But the latest Z26 for windows has support for windows joysticks/joypads. As long as it shows up in windows it should work automatically.

Even though it's 2 years old

If you have an expanded Amiga, then surely you have a HD for it? If not then get one! Install WHDLoad and say goodbye to all your compatibility problems.

The converter I have linked is a more recent update and is believe to have a much higher compatibility.

Actually it is possible, take a look at this FAQ, basically you need a cartridge that plugs into the megadrive/genesis and this allows foreign titles to be played. http://www.angelfire.com/ny/dezmoowu/Sega/bcantin.txt Another way of doing it is to make copies of your ntsc games, then there is a program which can change the region on the CD's. I can't rememeber it's name at the moment but if you can't find any infomation on it I'll see if I can find it edit found it! http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~mrp29/convscd102.zip

The original Silpheed (1987) was indeed a sequel to Thexder How much the Sega-CD Silpheed has in similar with the original I don't know (although they are both shooters and both by Game Arts)

If you like Shadowgate you should also check out Deja Vu I & II and Uninvited which were done by the same people. As for getting new Sierra games to run...SCUMMVM isn't going to be of any use as that's for LucasArts games! Although it does run a few others as well. You are probably thinking of FreeSCI which is an interpreter for Sierra games which used SCI (the really early Sierra games used AGI, Sarien is used for that).
