I do not know if it is me or not but this game run quite fast, I was unable to play it properly, even thought I setted the emulator m88 to 4mhz .
The apsent of lives made my playing and testing quite a cumbersome.
Set the emulator to V1 mode, if possible. V2 / H mode can be considered "hard mode" :D
After the jam, I will add a version with extra lives :)
You might also look for a "memory wait" option in the emulator. ( ウェイト) without this on it doesn't play at hardware speed.
I wanted to play but I can’t find a PC88 emulator for Mac
Oh no! I didn't realize. According to this, XM8, X88000 and Quasi88 are compatible with Mac, but I'm not sure how that's tested. Do you mind downloading the Linux versions of them and try those?

I have a Mac, so I can try compiling one of the other emulators myself in a few days.
Sure I’ll check them out! Let me know if you do recompile them though 😀
Edit:
checked out Quasi88 but it looks like I’d have to compile it and I don’t know how
Couldn’t figure out how to get X88000 to work on Mac. I didn’t see the download
I tried xm8 but there didn’t seem to be a Mac download on their website
This one is only for Mac but it doesn’t work on recent operating systems PC88EM
It also really doesn’t help that I don’t read Japanese
Thanks for giving it a shot.
I will open up the MacBook and see what I can do tonight!
Good news, my friend, I managed to build QUASI88 and upload a MacOS 64-bit build. Let me know!
oh cool! Where can I download it?
edit: found your link!
I tried, but I couldn't get it to actually work. Let me know if you can figure it out :(
seat safety switch is maintaining this for now, I managed to get it to work after adding the PC-88 bios files to ~/quasi88/rom

Very fun Archanoid clone that looks great! Fun level design too. My only gripe is the lack of lives. Very nice.
Thanks!
