Latest revision as of 20:44, 14 February 2024

Marty came out in February of 1993. All FMT games AFTER March of 1993 had to place a "Marty Compatible" logo or sticker on the box of their game if the game works on FM Towns Marty.

Marty has a 386SX CPU clocked at 16mhz with 2MB of RAM and one floppy drive. Marty cannot have RAM upgraded and cannot use SCSI HDD. Therefore any software that runs on a 386 FM Towns with 2MB of RAM and one floppy drive will work on Marty. The Majority of arcade ports except Super Street Fighter II will work fine on Marty.

There are a lot of lists floating around the net regarding Marty-compatible games. The fact of the matter is there cannot be a Marty compatibility list until Redump dumps and verifies all FM Towns games (which as of June 2022 they haven't).

If you are curious about any games that could run on Marty and there are no markings on the box/auction photos, you can check the Redump database to examine.

For example for Super Street Fighter II in the comments of this Redump page, it says "4MB RAM needed to run". This won't run on Marty. If the box on any auction website doesn't say Marty compatible it likely won't work on Marty.

List of games that have been tested on FM Towns Marty console. The list is under heavy construction, there is probably some mistakes and missing information.
