Stuart Carnie has ported Gregory Montoir's Flashback emulator REminiscence to libretro! REminiscence is a recreation of the game engine of the 1992/1993 action-adventure game Flashback. It is the spiritual successor of Another World / Out Of This World and features rotoscopic graphics, polygonal cinematics and a Prince of Persia style game system.
This port is still a work in progress, but it is up and running. Currently it jumps directly into the game, skipping the main menu.
We have also added modplug support to the core for improved music playback.
