This is a bugfix release of ZSnes. It fixes a "nasty bug has in the 8-bit video modes". Zoop does not take a rest. Just after v0.55 pops up - we get another large update with support for a new Sega 8-bit system. Plus quite a few fixes make this release well worthwhile. - Added Sega Super Control Station emulation, codename SF-7000. - Added sprite flickering emulation in video mode 5 (SMS/GG), and interfaced so you can now enable it if you feel like playing shooters with invisible bullets. - MEKA is now ignoring those rarely present 64 bytes footers. - Fixed Ninja Gaiden (GG version) hand on intermission animation. - Fixed PAUSE button which was broken in version 0.55b. - Fixed blinking sides when a program was using text mode (Sega Basic, ..) with a border color different than black. - Fixed Sega Keyboard letters color. - Fixed /LOG command line option which was ignoring the given filename. - Added and fixed entrys in the compatibility and checksum lists. - Various minor changes - changed messages, fixed typos..

Six months on, and another release of a great Atari 2600 emulator for DOS. Not alot of big changes this time, but nice enough to see it active. - Redesigned all pop-up windows to use a mouse-aware style that mimics some functionality in Windows 95 (users running in pure DOS mode should make sure their mouse driver is loaded). - Added a feature to record the video stream to an .AVI movie file. A festive update for this long running and amazing Snes emulator. The original DOS version is available locally, but you can also get a new Windows port from the zsnes.com homepage. - Added slow-down key. You can configure it in Misc -> Game Keys - Invulnerability bug of the 3rd boss in Demon's Crest in the good checksum roms is fixed through rom mirroring - Changed memory initialization values - Lost Viking 2 works again - 65816: Fixed WAI instruction timing with HIRQ's - Top Gear 2 - 2 player mode works now - Improved IRQ re-execution timing precision - Starfox 2 beta now runs with sound! - Fixed flickering problem in Starfox 2 beta - Added Mode 2 16x16 tile offset per tile mode - Changed reverse stereo method to become invisible to the sound registers in emulation BouKiCHi updates his great Dos based Gameboy emulator, as the documents are in Japanese - we have no clue about the updates bar the few english words listed: SEAL, CPU & gamename.bmp. This amazing Sega Master System / Gamegear / Colecovision emulator for DOS gets a new update. Here is the combined whats new for both v0.55 and the b release. - Added configurable mouse speed values in the MEKA.INP file. - Fixed mouse under Windows NT / Windows 2000. - Added builtin documentation, accessible from the "HELP" menu. - Entirely revamped the input system. - Added configuration tool, showing small pictures of peripherals being used - Any joypad/joystick corresponding to the driver selected in MEKA.INP should be automatically enabled on starting, and available for use. - Renamed left occurences of peripherals that were incorrectly named - Improved Paddle Control emulation so that they will work in Japanese mode - Fixed a precision bug in Paddle Control 2 emulation. - Added support for a second Sport Pad / Trackball. - Added digital input source emulation with the mouse - Added 3-D Glasses emulation, with both software and hardware modes - Tweaked VDP code for potentially more accurate side effect emulation. - Fixed sprite collisions in certain cases. The following Colecovision games are now perfect: ~ Carnival, Jumpman Junior, Pitfall 2 & Venture. - Fixed hard pausing. You can now safely take screenshots after pausing with a message shown on the screen, as it will not be shown in the shot. - Fixed loading of very small ROMs, which affected Tic Tac Toe on Colecovision, and maybe your very own demos programs. - Implemented Antiriad's hack to Allegro - used in Raine - to permit usage of Sidewinders while their driver is loaded - Fixed the Eagle blitter which was not centered and showed garbage in some machines. - Slighty optimized memory accesses and tile refresh. - Changed the key to save screenshots from F12 to PrintScreen.

Try R-Type title screen. - Added various name and checksum entries, and corrected many existing ones. Should have noted out all Game Gear games running in Master System mode, fixed some Colecovision names and date, and generally improved accuracy. - Added Korean flag in the file loader and associated Super Tetris with it. There are still several Korean games to dump, however. - Fixed leap year calculation (for display of dates). - Fixed a crashing bug when passing too many parameters on command line. - Added the usual bunch of new GUI themes, and more pictures are available @ homepage. - Plenty of minor fixes here and here.

ePSXe - a rather good Playstation emulator for Windows. With this release and this all in one installer, this turns out to be a good PlayStation emulator which runs rather well (even with newgames like Driver 2). Well worh the download. - A completly re-written MDEC engine, which should give you better quality and some more FPS during video playback. - More accurate timing, which makes the videos have less pause. (MDEC timing should always be turned ON now) - Included two new internal CD-Rom plugins : One for WinNT/Win2k users, which uses WinNT/Win2k's native functions, and an ASPI CD-Rom plugin for Win9x and Win2k users, which is usually faster than the older plugins. - Fixes to XA sound playback in the internal SPU plugin. - Included NTSC/PAL auto detection for a more accurate timing, mainly in Square videos. - The ISOs are loaded directly now, without showing the BIOS logo. - Added support for PSX mouse emulation. (Selectable in Config -> Controller) - Added support for PSX analog pad emulation using Analog Pads or mouse. (selectable in Config- > Controller) - It's now possible to disable the pads; this is necessary for some games which are only playable for 1 player. (qbert) - Included a new memory card selector, which comes with support for the most important memory card formats (.MCR, .MEM, .MCD, .GME) - Memory cards are now saved when you go to the main window and when you quit the emu incorrectly. It's still highly recommended that you close the emu using the File -> Exit option ;-) - Added an experimental "Change discs" option. To switch a disc, you need to go to File -> Change disc. (this isn't working with some games yet though) - ePSXe should work better with Lewpy's plugins now, so no more crashes when you exit the emu. The reset/continue functions should also work now on several videoboards. - Fixes to the CD-Rom decoder and the core, which make some more games playable like for example Final Fantasy 9, Grandia, Fear Effect, Tenchu 2 and so on ;-) - Added a snapshot maker in key F8. (you need the "snap" directory). - Since we haven't been able to fix the Chrono Cross bug yet, we added a workaround, which can be activated using the F3 key while the game freezes at that point (though this doesn't fix the status screen problem yet, you must still use the cheat code for this)
Looks like quite alot of changes in this new beta of WinFellow. Though im not about to list em here. Just goto the page and check the textfile.

One of the best NES emulator for DOS continues to improve, the author doesnt do things by half. Here is the whatsnew: - Added a ppu tile caching system, sped up the things - Added a decent savestate format -- NOT compatible with the old ones - Added a new method for noise luts, much clean - Added mapper #180 (Nichibutsu, game Crazy Climber supported) - Added preliminary VS UniSystem reads handler (Atari RBI Baseball works) - Added a cheap hack to get Paris-Dakar Rally Special working (map66) - Fixed a major bug in the mapper #40 (SMB2j) reset - Fixed mapper #83 CHR bankswitch (World Heroes2 works) - Fixed mapper #232 (BF9096 chip - used by Codemasters' Quattro carts) - Fixed mapper #233 (the '20-in-1' half works, 'reset' to active) - Fixed nametables dumping (dumping the entire $400 data in a .nam file) - Fixed major problems in the sound startup routines - Fixed number of cpu cycles per sprite DMA transfer - Fixed ppu layout (frame starts at VBlank) - Fixed ppu latch system and ppu reads, thanks to Ki for his findings - Fixed mirroring state saving (when a mapper uses a custom mirroring) - Tweaks in the FDS driver, more games are working - Cleaned up the 16k CHR RAM support code, used by mapper #13 - Expanded ROM information display - Whoops, removed "dump pattern addresses" option from GUI - General cleanups to boost the performance - Added a 'secret' mapper, I will tell you later... ;-) A new AGES - the Sega Megadrive / 32X emulator for Windows.

Something to update my page with on this 25hr day. A good emulator as well, could this be the Megadrive equivelent of Meka (full compatability)? - Country select feature added. - Menu language support improved - Screen-Shot feature added - Direct Draw code modified - 'Normal' and 'Double' render mode uses hardware blit in Fullscreen. - Screen Size x1, x2 removed in windowed mode because not usefull. - Screen refresh improved when emulation is paused. - My 68000 core and MZ80 core are removed because RAZE and custom Starscream are accurate. - Debugger rewritten for Starscream. - Message drawing code rewritten. - GENS becomes cardware. - I figured that Gens played Genesis voices (especially in SSFII) better than the real genesis, the bug is now fixed so voices are now more crap with almost game :( - others fix or improvements ...
A new PlayStation emulator with good compatability. Its from one of the ZSnes authors so you can assume that its gonna be great, one to watch. The best Nes emulator available continued to grow. This is the DOS version, a new Windows port is available from the RockNES homepage. - Better noise emulation - Added an option in the GUI to save sprite ram within all informations for each sprite, like a text file - Added stretched mode, due the request (delete the old config file to setup this option) - Minor optimization in the scanline blitter - Fixed some GUI options that were working when no game was loaded. Another release of Daves Final Burn, now with support for the fun Rail Chase from Sega. Yet again, a new DBoy with Jap docs that I can not translate. Though I'm sure it will be worthwhile downloading.
Just as the page was going along as per normal (after the Sony problems), it seems the people at Amiga.com have nothing better todo with their time but hassle us emulation peeps. Their letter is was wrongly sent to UKOnline's abuse - but the files in question are not placed there - very clever... I have had no choice but to remove the files for now, well will see how things go. Release of this Atari 800 emulator for DOS are always quite far between, this is the last update since May and looks like it was worth the wait: - possibility to set color saturation - sound.c got -help - bug causing vesa modes not to be detected correctly fixed. - sound_dos.c compiler warnings fixed - ui.c - reading of root dirs corrected - pokey.c - better reading of saved pokey state - statesav.c - strict version check and version increased to 3 - binload.c - C flag and boot flag are set now (some programs need it) - joystick autofire emulation (dos and svgalib only). - gtia.c fix - pm_scanline was too short when HSCROL was used. 'mountain king' game suffered from this bug. - atari_x11.c - small fix for keyrepeat (fvwm2, switching back to the screen 2 FocusIn requests are generated). - DOS SoundBlaster driver updated. - vga_asm.s patched to quell a compiler warning. - sio.c - new routine to rotate disks and slight parameter change in SIO_Mount that allows a disk to be opened read only even if it is a read/write image. - sndsave.[ch] (new module) - writes out .WAV files of arbitrary bitrate. - linux joystick patch - both keyboard emulation and real joystick can be used for multiplayer games now. Not much to say.. - Just for the sake of completeness, I added support for the Japanese version of Power Drift. It's pretty much identical - the only difference are the six program roms (parts 11745-52) which should be placed in a small zip file called pwrdrifj.zip.
A new release of this wonderful emulator from Dave. Now with support for the wonderful Power Drift!! Amazing stuff Dave. - Fixed the difficulty setting of PD to normal. - Added support for the Triple-68000 game Power Drift! - Sound support for Power Drift (the easiest part believe it or not!) - It is very playable on a Pentium 3, but...there are many glitches all over the game.
October starts with a new MAME beta. This looks like a interesting release with support for Bomberman (and the world version). Along with Stun Runner - though I wont be testing that because I don't want to watch a slideshow (very slow). Here are the new games: - dozens of Nichibutsu mahjong and quiz games - Super Dodge Ball - Macross - Macross II - Nouryoku Koujou Iinkai - Strahl - Pushman - Bomberman - Bomberman World - Donpachi - Blaze On - Beezer - Sel Feena - Libble Rabble
The best NES emulator gets more bugfixes and takes yet another step closer to perfection... wonderful stuff. - Fixed (this time with sure) trainer support. v1.300 - Fixed a mapper #1 (MMC1) bug, now more games are playable - NES periodic rewritten, much better, fixing tons of games! - Adjusted Konami's VRCxx IRQs timing (now 99.9% good) - Fixed a nasty NES reset problem - Fixed Famicom DiskSystem emulation, thanks Ki for the docs! Notice that your FDS image won't be saved/changed for a while - Sound driver optimized (a bit faster now) - As always... more changes and bugs squashed, but I don't remember... :) A sad day this is, a nice and quite new AtariST emulator for Windows has reached the end of the line. As the documents say "This is the very last update to this emulator. Ever." Very sad indeed, but we are left with a good emulator, so will be thankful for that. - Fixed joystick button reporting on some games. - Access to all emulator options/favourites from within full-screen. - Extended GEM resolutions, such as 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768. - Fixes for TOS 2.06. The wonderful and weird world of Raine, another good un-offical release for Raine, this time there has been another release after this one - but with Maniac Square disabled. Since neither the Raine of MAME team will say why, I refuse to upload it. So enjoy this release whilst you can. The games Eugenio added are - The Psykio Shooters (Sengoku Ace, Gunbird) [No Sound] - 2 Galceo Games (Biomechanical Toy, Maniac Square) [With sound] Daves Afterbuner 2 / other game emulator for Windows gets another update, I'm sure there will be more from this emulator very soon. - Adjusted the sensitivity of the joystick. You should now get better accuracy in aiming, - Improved the way input and pausing is done - Fixed the keyboard input so that it slides the analog stick at the same rate, no matter what the frame rate is like. Its been a while, but this Atari 2600 emulator for DOS has started to update again, quite a few changes in this version - could be the best available now. - Starpath multiload support has been added. - Added a new Starpath bios that shows the vertical blue progress bars - Added support for the 6144 byte Starpath format - Changed super-chip detection scheme. - Added some features to trace mode so that real addresses are shown for indexed accesses. - Fixed bug in the GUI to allow the complete maximum number of ROMs to be 693. - Fixed a small mouse related bug in the GUI. - Revamped video support. Video mode 5 is now the default - PAL games are now detected automatically. - Fixed what is hopefully the final Windows compatibility issue.
A new Gameboy emulator (for me at least). This is the Windows 9X DirectX version (the homepage also has a Win32 version). Its very compatable (perfect?) and seems to have no problems with the new Gameboy Colour games (bar a few pallete problems). A very small release of DBoy, seems to have some sort of Sidewinder support or fix. I'm too scared to upload this emulator because the author will just release another version and make it redundant.. ah well, heres whats new: - Changed the scanlines method back so only one blit is done
This falls into the "wow, that was quick" category. Since yesterdays update there has been three small releases of Final Burn. Dave, you sure do work hard. - Fixed the engine sound - it was to do with looping samples. I also increased the accuracy of the PCM emulation - the Vulcan gun now sounds better I think. - Blanked out the incorrect engine sound, to save our poor ears for the time being... - Changed the scanlines method (to avoid vertical banding effects on cards which do bilinear filtering).
Its been a long time since I updated my CPC section (nearly a year), so I have cleaned things up and updated this freeware CPC emulator for DOS (Windows port available at homepage). Two releases of Final Burn in the last few days, it now sports a nice Fullscreen mode and scanline support. Lovely. - Added fullscreen with scanlines option. To use this mode, click on 'Scanlines'. - Added fullscreen option. To exit the fullscreen mode, press Escape.

Oops, I forgot to update this earlier: A new release of DBoy with what looks like Motion Sensor support - bizzare. Everyones favorite Snes emulator for DOS gets a small bug fix release, here is the whatsnew: - Fixed a problem with offset per tile mode with MMX2 in the new 16bit engine - Fixed crashing problem in MMX2 (Win port) - Removed clock option (Win port) - Disabling the new graphics 16bit engine is now properly saved in the configuration files - Added the win port version number to the about box (Win port) - Fixed the % of execution problem in IPX/Modem modes Finally, the much awaited release of WinUAE (last release was 11 months ago). There has been some amount of work on WinUAE over this period, and I'm sure you will find this release worthwhile (improved compatability). - FIXED: When WinUAE is full-screen, the Message dialog-box no longer "hides" and locks up WinUAE. Instead, WinUAE will automatically minimize itself and display the dialog-box on the Windows Desktop. - FIXED: log-file no longer fills up with blit failure reports. - FIXED: Some resources (critical-sections, threads) weren't being cleaned-up. - FIXED: [Load From...] button now works properly. - FIXED: .uae config-files with spaces in them are now supported when double-clicked. - FIXED: Increased compatability (Bernd, Sam, Toni) - FIXED: Copper emulation state machine (Sam) - FIXED: Floppy emulation and DMA (Sam, Toni) - FIXED: CPU+FPU emulation bugs (Sam, Christian Bauer, Toni, me) - FIXED: Only allow a single instance of WinUAE to be running. - FIXED: Joystick support under Win2K. - FIXED: Scroll-Lock to pause screen-refreshes works. - FIXED: About-page URL link handling. - FIXED: File-system code, including preservation of mode-bits on a rename - FIXED: File-system code can handle more than 500-files per directory now. - ADDED: File-system now supports and persists file-notes (comments), and the Script, Pure, and Delete bits. - ADDED: Floppy disk DMA slider for control of disk DMA speed (Toni) - ADDED: Ability to disable specific floppy disk drives (Bernd) - ADDED: "Custom" floppy creation, for use in game-saves (Toni) - ADDED: DirectInput support for USB and other joystick devices. - ADDED: Sound interpolation support code (Bernd), and relevent GUI changes. - ADDED: [Info] section on Configurations page of GUI, for linking external text, html, or screen-shots to a particular configuration. - ADDED: German localization of the GUI.

Two releases of Final Burn in one day, both have a few bug fixes and the addition of 44100hz sound. This emulator is growing day by day. - Fixed a crash if DirectSound fails for any reason. If you don't have a sound card installed, and previously couldn't play After Burner, this should fix the problem. Changes for v0.010: - Fixed palette in 555 16-bit modes (typo!). If you had incorrect colors in 16-bit modes, this should fix it. - By the way, in 8-bit modes Final Burn will have incorrect colors: you should change your desktop settings to 16-bit or higher. - Added 44100hz and Bass filter options.

The first Acorn emulator returns, now with Sound support included to rival the good RedSquirrel. - 8 channel sound emulation - Quad MEMC emulation to allow 16MB of ram - Faster floppy access - Improved mouse resolution - PCFS in ROM - LED update control - Plenty more bug fixes...
The MAME beta wagon rolls on. This is the "dirty" version with alot of the Adult games from Japan making an appearence. There has been alot of debate about these games, but at the end of the day - its your choice to download the roms or not. Here are the new games: - dozens of PlayChoice-10 games - Mahou Daisakusen - Shippu Mahou Daisakusen - Hot Pinball - Fantasia - New Fantasia - Miss World '96 Nude - Big Twin - World Beach Volley - Xexex - Mag Max - Thief - NATO Defense - Super Invader Attack - Buggy Challenge (preliminary, feedback needed) - Knuckle Joe Another small update for this Windows based Megadrive emulator. - KNUX support is fixed (Windows based Sonic editor). - Spanish menu added. - Window position is saved when you quit gens.
I finally I have added this nice AfterBurner II emulator (and a few other roms). Its very nice and has Joystick & Sound Support under Windows, it supports: - Afterbuner 2 - Playable, some gfx missing - Afterburner 1 - Playable, some gfx missing - Thunderblade (Jap) - Playable, a lot of gfx missing - Outrun - Prelim Driver, Playable - Super Hang-on - Experimental Driver, not Playable

New Direct Draw code : - Triple buffering added. - You can now use all render type (2xSAI ...) in windowed mode. - Auto fix checksum option added.

Game Fixed: SeaQuest DSV (only [f][x] version) Fatal Rewind This is unbelievable Sony and their stupid empire have served emulationworld with a notice asking them to remove the PlayStaion BIOS & 80x42 LOGO from my bar. How pathetic is that? Well all I can say is screw you Sony and your pathetic consoles. I never have owned a PlayStation, and never will. I have been tempted by the PS2 for its DVD capabilities and ability to run copied PS1/2 games. But I refuse to give my money to those arseholes, looks like I will hold on until Nintendo's Gamecube arrives.
Here it is, ZSnes v1.0!!!!! Well this aint the last ZSnes release, neither is it perfect (no DS1 / Pilotwings support). But its a fantastic Snes emulator for DOS, and now has C4 Chip emulation (for Megaman).Whatsnew: - Implemented C4 emulation - C4 Sprite structure -> OAM conversion routines - Sprite Rotate/Scale ability - Sprite disintegrate function - All in-game used math co-processor functions (hopefully) - Both wireframe modes - There are still some problems with C4 emulation, but I'd consider them to be quite minor to just leave them there. - Tweaked ADSR a bit - Decreased envelope when key on is issued while sound is still playing.

True Reality is a multi platform emulator with a good Windows port available. I last updated this nearly 1 year ago - sorry but it just slipped my mind. Anyhow this is a very WIP version of the emulator, but has ran a surprising amount of roms that I have thrown at it (Pilotwings as seen below, Mario Golf...). Worth testing out.

This amazing $70 commercial Mac emulator gets a fully free release. This is the full version 3.0 that was for sale upto May 2000. And here it is courtesy of the authors. If you haven't tried Fusion, its an amazing Mac emulator for DOS. When you run this you can forget you have a PC - its that accurate.

"A federal appeals court has granted Napster’s request for an emergency stay to keep the music swapping service operating. Napster no longer has to pull the plug at midnight, and fans rejoiced." Though this is only a temporany thing, more time with Napster is always a good thing. I'm very happy about this!
Raine goes open source - and here is the first release from Katharsis. Hopefully Raine has a long and exciting future! Today is a sad day for all music fans. Napster will close tonight and this saddens me as I'm a regular Napster user. As of tomorrow I will start the hunt for a replacement (there are other programs that do the same thing), Hopefully an appeal by Napster will bring it back... you can follow the case at The Register. Its been a month in the making. But here is MAME v0.37 Beta 5. With some great games added like Mortal Kombat 3 and NBA Jam Extreme, but as these run on a damn powerful machine, they will be totally unplayable to the most of us (unless you have a Pentium 3 900Mhz+).

Finally a new release of NoCash after the problems with the leaked keyfile for it. This is a nice Gameboy emulator for DOS (Windows port available from authors homepage).

I'm still here and actively working on the page. But I have no updates to report on as the emulationland is fairly quiet these past few months. A new MAME beta is expected this week, but nothing else bar that. I guess I will just have to enjoy the sunshine over here in Scotland.
This emulator with perfect Sega Master System emulation and 95% perfect Gamegear emulation, emulator for DOS has been updated alot, here comes another update making it just that bit better. Great work Zoop. - Made some very minor fixes. - Added two new themes (Deep Purple and Deep Brown). - Updated to the documentation, improved many parts and added new things. - Fixed invalid vertical sprite wrapping in video mode 2 - Added PSG wave synthesis sound rate setting in the configuration file. - Added separate PSG channel enabling/disabling. - Fixed FM bug when hard pausing and unpausing in some games. - Addams Family, Operation Wolf and Sonic Blast now automatically run in PAL/Secam mode when NTSC is selected - Fixed the badly positionned line of Hang On in Hang On / Safari Hunt. - If brutally forced to close (like when switching to a blitter using an invalid resolution), Meka now switch back to its starting directory. - Added screenshot filename template to the configuration file. - Added "integer stretched" display of the themes background pictures (see MEKA.THM). - Added new themes, some of them using nice background pictures The only word in Lynx emulation, finally with todays fast CPU's this is a very usable and good emulator for windows (when it was first released, I had a 468DX4/100 and it was slow). - Fixed command line file argument crash. - Added new screen mode for Lynx LCD emulation with the dodgy RGB stripes. - Added Eagle mode. - Rewrote display mode handling to make it more generic for addons, all rendering types now say if they are full screen. - Rewrote display menu handling code, much simplified. - Display type is saved in registry. - For all those who've asked Handy now has auto frame skipping. Handy will calculate the right frameskip to give the desired speed. - Complete overhaul of the throttling code, improved stability. - Bug fix to new sleep cycle counting code added in V0.73 to compensate for cycles lost to IRQ during sleep periods. Counter rollover did not recalc IRQ entry value and was causing game freezing after around 3-4 minutes. - Major change to timer updating to stop problems with System Lock warning messages. - Full screen mode now preserves modal type LCD/Eagle/Normal. - Fixed a number of bugs in CNetObj relating to initialisation and sync. - CNetObj now gives a friendly closedown msg when disabled. - Minor bugfix to errorhandler to stop calls to an invalid lynx object.
Its been a while (last update was September 1999), but we now have a new release of this great Atari 2600 emulator for DOS. This release adds support for Save Mary.
A second release of WinFellow (first addition to my page). The good news is that the Windows version has the speed of the DOS port and from what I have tried seems reasonably compatable. Very nice. BouKiCHi's wonderful emulator finds a new home on Vintagegaming, I hope this is a sign of a strong future and maybe reaching perfection. - Fixed several DMA transfer bugs - Mr. Driller works perfectly A good C64 emulator with a lack of documents togo with it - therefore I'm unsure what has been changed, but its probally worthwhile. This superb Windows 9x based Megadrive emulator takes a big step towards perfection, this is an amazing step for such a new emulator. If you have even a slight intrest in Megadrive emulation, download this. - DMA FILL finally correct (i hope). - Little bug in windows/scrollA interaction fixed. - STOP instruction fixed for "mine" 68000 engine. ~ Thunder Force IV and Todd's aventure fixed with "mine" core. - 68000 interrupts fixed once again :) - Load / Save State improved : ~ File is smaller ~ Sound is correctly recovered ~ better stability - RAZE interrupt fixed, RAZE is now the default Z80 engine. - Z80 Memory write/read fixed again. - Z80 Interrupt timing modified. - MMX detection rewritten again (please, let's me know if Cyrix CPU still crashing). - You don't need anymore to reload a rom after changing the sample rate. - others little fix. More Sega 32X progression with Vegas. The unclocking of the SH2 will make the emulator run faster for us, though how this will effect the games is unknown to me, worth a go though. - Underclocked SH2s to make AGES run lots faster - Double resolution and fullscreen modes (should be compatible with everybody's video card) - A few kinds of scanline options - Player 2 control pad emulation - Joystick support - Key/button redefinition - 6 button emulation - Region autodetection (can even customize your preferred search order) - No more forced filenames for 32X system ROMs - Customizable path for battery RAM saved files (very useful if you play ROMs from CDR) - Lowered DirectX graphics requirement (for you NT users) - Added support for .GEN extension - Fixed 32X dual framebuffer; no more flashing - Fixed many Genesis VDP and IO bugs; lots more Genesis games work |
