 Ootake 1.11 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 10:34 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Turbografx 16
|
| - ** In almost all the games of TurboGrafx16's "Turbo-Chip", there is a report that is able to play without trouble with Ootake. Please convert it into a correct image file if you use the sucking out machine for Japanese "Hu-Card".
It is possible to convert it when the file is opened with Ootake. The converted "just proper" image file can be used with [a lot of other Free TG16/PCE emulators], too. This is a "fair" method for the "PC Engine & TurboGrafx16" emulator and the PCE/TG16's fan. (Thank you for reading.)
- Video chip (VDC,VCE) processing part was considerably sped up. I think that processing lightened in some measure of a personal computer environment so not fast.
- The screen processing of "SUPER GRAFX (Japan)" was improved, and the speed improved.
- Processing related to the "ARCADE Card (mass buffer memory card of Japan)" is improved, and interchangeability has been improved. "Laplace no Ma" came to operate without trouble.
- "ARCADE Card" menu was added to "CD-ROM" menu. If this check is removed, it can be operated in the state of "ARCADE Card none".
- "Star Mobile" came to operate.
- Operation speed & timing of CPU has been elaborately adjusted. In stage 3 of "Soldier Blade", the screen disorder of one frame (generated by v1.10) was solved.
- In visual scene of "Ninja Ryuukenden", overlapping the screen was corrected.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

CPS3 Emulator Preview 3 Test Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 10:29 AM CET | Comments: 1 | Arcade
|
| New features emulated:
Palette fadein/out
Sean stage special tile compression
Proper sprite/tilemap alignment
Proper priority handling
The CPS3 emulation is almost complete. Only the shadow/blending emulation is missing. There is a preliminary emulation for it that works partially with the shadows, but is not correct in some other places (warzard sword effects for example).
I've added savestates support. To make a savestate, first select the slot with CTRL+number (in the main keyboard, not in the keypad) then press F11 twice (it's done that way so you don't accidentally
delete a working state). To load a savestate, select the slot and then press F10.
I've added an option to set a custom fullscreen resolution in the .ini file (FullScreenWidth, FullScreenHeight). You must enable it setting Video->Fullscreen Resolution->Custom. Using a resolution that is not supported by your video card will cause the emulator to crash.

CPS3 Emulator Preview 2 Test Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 12:22 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Arcade
|
| This is a preview version of my CPS3 emulator. Here you can see the current work-in-progress state of the emulation.
I've fixed some problems in the emulation:
Color palettes seem right now
Fullscreen Zoom
Sprite Zoom
Linescroll
The priorities have improved but they aren't fully right yet (mainly in jojo games). Shadow/alpha is still missing. Linezoom is missing, but I haven't found a single place where it's used. Sean stage in sf3ng doesn't crash now, but shows garbage in the bg.
I've added an entry to the ini so you can switch the region (except for warzard that it won't boot unless region is Asia)
I've also tried to fix some problems that people were having with some old and integrated graphics chipsets. Probably some problems have been fixed, but there might still be some around. You can now also try to fix the renderer to the vsync of your monitor with an option in the ini file (ForceSync).

| This is a preview version of my CPS3 emulator. Here you can see the current work-in-progress state of the emulation.
There are still a lot of missing features to emulate properly so don't report any emulation errors yet. The missing features include (and the effect caused by them missing) :
Sprite Zoom: you'll see the sprite tiles (squares) not being properly aligned or with gaps
Fullscreen Zoom: Sometimes it seems like the camera is not pointing to the action
Per-tile palette selection: some colors (a lot in some games) are wrong
Priorities: objects that are over the background when they should appear behind
Linescroll: Floor 3D effect missing. SF32ndi scrolling letters in intro missing.
Linezoom: I don't know where is it used :)

Ootake 1.09 Released
Posted by PsyMan @ 10:24 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Turbografx 16
|
A new version of Ootake, a Japanese PC-Engine/Turbografx 16 emulator has been released.
Here is the changes log for this version:
| - The image quality of "TV Mode"(Processing is light) has been improved. And
it was made "Screen setting of default". By "Setting->Screen" menu it is
possible to set it to the previous default("Special Scanlined" - sharp and
play easily).
- The item that set the "Gamma-value(brightness)" was put on "Screen" menu.
- The item that set the "Density of Scanline" was put on "Setting->Screen"
menu. When setting it to "TV Mode" or "Horizontal Scanlined", it is
reflected.
- The tone quality of the sound has been improved. In the personal computer
environment from which the noise has occurred, I think that the noise
decreased(disappeared) in some measure.
- The sound processing part and additionally, a detailed part was sped up.
- The speed and timing were brought close to a real machine more. In demo
scene of "3x3 Eyes", the gap of the sound was solved. I think that the
operation timing improved in other games, too.
- In ending of "Splatterhouse", the staff roll was made the same expression
as a real machine.
- In demo play of "Magical Chase", the problem that the noise sound had been
emitted when having started was solved.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.
* I was deeply moved by Sato Takuma's running in the Canada F1 Grand Prix.
Therefore, it was possible to work more better this time(v1.09).
* The happiness of the game is the world human race commonness. It longs for
peace.
* I think that it cannot do improvement & correction of the above-mentioned
if there are many neither operation report nor defect report. Thank you
really for you who reported.

Quote from MAMEDev:
| A new full MAME release, both source and official binaries, is now available over at the Latest Release page. Since the last update there has been mostly internal changes, but I did want to highlight an unexpected and very much welcome addition from couriersud: discrete sound emulation in Donkey Kong and Radarscope, and full emulation of the Radarscope grid graphics. Wow!
And if you are a fan of older games and haven’t had time to update since 0.115, you’ll find a lot to like in this release as a number of older drivers have been given a good scrubbing over the past month. There are already several exciting things brewing for the 0.117 development cycle, so keep an eye out for updates, and keep those bug reports flowing at MAME Testers.

 bsnes 0.21 (experimental) Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 01:15 PM CET | Comments: 0 | SNES
|
| This is a maintainence release. I am mostly releasing this for the sake of the recently released Der Langrisser translation.
Changelog:
• Windows port can once again map joypads through the Input Configuration panel
• Using enter or spacebar to assign a key should no longer instantly map those keys
• F11 now toggles fullscreen mode
• Esc now toggles menu on and off (use F11+Esc combined to hide UI completely)
• Fixed a bug in King of Dragons (J, U, E), KOFF was not cleared during S-DSP power(), thanks to FitzRoy for the report, and blargg for assistance fixing the bug
• Fixed serious crashing error with File->Load on Linux/amd64 port
• Hopefully fixed min/max undefined error on GCC 4.2.0, but I am unable to test to verify
• Fixed many cast const char* to char* warnings for GCC 4.2.0, but some probably remain, as again, I am unable to test as I lack GCC 4.2.0
• Set XV_AUTO_COLORKEY to 1 for Video/Xv renderer. Should fix some video drivers where there was no output, especially after running mplayer, etc. Thanks to sinimas for the fix
• Added clear_video() to Video/Xv renderer. Green edges at the bottom and right sides of the video output are now gone, and unloading a ROM will clear video
I have finally figured out how to poll the keyboard status in real-time through Xorg: the XQueryKeymap function. I will be rewriting the Linux key capture system to use this, instead of capturing window key up / down messages through GTK+. This will finally allow me to completely abstract the UI from the hardware video, audio and input interfaces: a necessary step toward Linux joypad support.

Emu Loader 5.0 Released

| Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!!!
Huh, wait a minute... something is wrong here. It's not Santa's time yet! - LOL.
This is another huge release. Gazillions of fixes and optimizations. Source code was 60% restructured. You have no idea on how many weird coding this frontend had. This is version 5.0.
What ? I thought I heard you say "SEGA Model 2 Emulator" ? Yes, that's right. Thanks to ElSemi this emulator (v0.5a and newer) can load and run games from the command line... and it's fully supported on your beloved frontend. Even audit games works, thanks for the ClrMAME .dat made by Logigx. :-))
Emulator homepage: http://nebula.emulatronia.com
Another emulator that got an update is Daphne. The v1.0 beta is now also supported. Old version 0.99.7 is still supported, but it will be removed soon.
Continuing with major changes, MAMu_ features have been rewritten completely. Zipped icons support have been removed but you can now set multiple folders for each system. MAMu_ won his own button on the main buttons tool bar.
As requested by a few users, the favorites button is back to the buttons tool bar. Last but not least, ZiNc can have multiple ROMs folders (not the emulator itself, just the frontend).
For more info, read the change log.
There is no need for a clean install. Just overwrite build v4.9.8.1 BUT, I advise you to delete the "resources" folder completely (v4.9.8.1) before uncompressing v5.0 because some files were renamed.
See change log for more details on version 5.0. Have fun!

Ootake 1.08 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 10:41 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Turbografx 16
|
| - The CPU(HuC6280) processing part, Sound processing part, and Sprite&BG character processing part was sped up. I think that processing lightened in some measure of a personal computer environment so not fast.
- In some games ("Bloody Wolf" and "Power League 3", etc.), the bug with not correct display order of the screen (generated from v1.03) was corrected.
- To play comfortably, the CD-ROM seek setting of default was made "Fast Seek" mode.
* If you loaded the state of an old version, "Fast Seek" returns OFF. In that case, please put the check in the "Speed->Fast Seek" menu by hand power. Then, I think that can play comfortably.
- The processing of ADPCM voice was modeled on the movement of a real machine more. In the latter half of "Top wo Nerae vol.1" came to operate.
- In "Tengai Makyou - Fuuun Kabuki Den", the display order of the character became correct.
- In game that has changed resolution of each line, the operation was modeled on a real machine more.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

There is a small error in the emulator, in fact some times it is visualized the message "Unable to read". This error is visualized when the name of the directory includes some spaces. Then to avoid this message to remove possible spaces in the name of the directory. However the message doesn't cause any malfunction of the emulator.

Hoxs64 1.0.4.21 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 08:17 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Commodore 64
|
| 1.0.4.21:
1) Fixed bug introduced in the previous version to the D64/G64/New disk insertion that
loads tracks into both the whole track and halftrack position.
2) 1541 ROM changed to a 1541C revision 2 to cure a half track miss-alignment issue that
prevents the correct saving to an inserted floppy following an attempted save with no
floppy inserted.
1.0.4.20:
1) Numerous 1541 emulation fixes. The demo Intoxication by Singular and game Starflight
now work.
2) Fixes to the VIC border unit and background colours. The demos LCP_memories and Skaaneland
by Fairlight now display correctly.

bsnes 0.20 (experimental) Released *source updated*
Posted by [vEX] @ 01:15 PM CET | Comments: 0 | SNES
|
UPDATE: The source package has been updated to fix some small issues for 64-bit systems.
| First, it appears bsnes was crashing on Linux/amd64 platforms when selecting 'File->Load Cartridge'. The cause of this error was quite fun to track down. Luckily, I came across the fix in a kino changelog. It appears that gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new() is a vararg function. The very last parameter passed is pointer to a string. However, if you don't need this parameter (and I don't), you can pass it a null pointer. Well, null is defined as 0 in c++ (and (void*)0 in c). This is no problem on 32-bit architectures as an integer and pointer are the same length. But on Linux/amd64, an int is 32-bits, whereas a pointer is 64-bits. So, I was pushing half of the pointer, but the upper half was basically not set. So whenever the stack happened to contain a non-zero upper half, GTK+ would think the pointer was valid, and attempt to read from it. Quite a serious issue, I can see many people running into this problem. It's non-obvious, as non-vararg functions will promote int(0) to 64-bits automatically. The solution is to cast vararg null pointers explicitly. In my case, I had to replace 0 with (const gchar*)0.
Next, during the rewrite, I never added back command-line loading. Oops. This is now fixed.
Lastly, I came up with a proper fix for casting between integers and pointers: uintptr_t. This is a variable declared in stdint.h that states it is safe to cast a pointer to an integer, and then that integer back to a pointer. This is definitely the proper way to implement my window message passing system, and as such I have rewritten the relevent parts of libui and bsnes/lui to use uintptr_t. This should fix all compilation errors on Linux/amd64.

| Five months and 43 WIP releases in the making, today I am releasing bsnes v0.020. I'd really like to express my thanks to blargg, for he has written a new S-DSP emulator that is an impressive 32 times more precise than all existing S-DSP emulators. It is now bus-accurate, and should produce bit-perfect sound output to that of a real SNES, excepting very minor, very extreme edge cases. Not only did he do this, he went out of his way to develop a special version exclusively for bsnes to ease licensing concerns and take advantage of bsnes' unique features, notably cothreads. I can't thank him enough. Unfortunately, bsnes has taken a ~10% speed hit over v0.019 by using this new S-DSP emulator, but I must stress the speed hit is entirely due to the way bsnes is implemented. blargg's standalone S-DSP emulator is very, very fast. Anyone is free to take a look at his S-DSP emulator, as he has released it as open source under the LGPL, by visiting his homepage, here.
Unfortunately, the new cross-platform UI is not entirely finished. Some sacrifices had to be made to support libui. Specifically, the following features are missing from v0.019, but will hopefully be added back in future releases:
• Fullscreen support
• Input Configuration panel cannot capture joypad input. Joypad support is still present, but it must be mapped manually through the Advanced panel or through editing bsnes.cfg by hand
• The Cheat Code Editor is missing, but cht files can still be used from bsnes v0.019, and created by hand
• Sufami Turbo support is not accessible from the UI
• The UI on Windows is slightly less polished due to compromises to allow the UI to be readable on Linux.
I am sorry for the rough edges listed above, but I wanted to get a new release out, as it has been over five months since the last release, and I really want the world to be able to experience blargg's new S-DSP emulator.
Changelog:
• Added blargg's new S-DSP emulator, runs at 1.024mhz. Many thanks to blargg for this, as this puts all portions of SNES emulation except for the S-PPU at bus-accuracy
• blargg's S-DSP core fixes bugs in both Koushien 2 (J) and Toy Story (U)
• Corrected all S-SMP cycle timings to be hardware accurate. Thanks to blargg for creating an amazing test ROM that tested every possible opcode
• Corrected S-CPU wai instruction timing, fixes Mortal Kombat II
• Reverted HDMA sync emulation once more to fix Breath of Fire II (G) and Secret of Mana (U)
• Completely rewrote user interface to use libui, which is a wrapper that allows the same code to produce the same UI on both Windows (through the Win32 API) and Linux (through the GTK+ API)
• Corrected $2100.d7 OAM reset behavior, thanks to research from anomie
• Massively revamped the Linux port, should compile with no warnings or errors now
• Added 64-bit support to libco, tested on FreeBSD/amd64, should work on Linux as well
• Revamped makefile with suggestions from Nach
• Improved Linux Xv renderer to use the far more common YUY2 format, which should work on most Xorg drivers, allowing hardware accelerated video scaling
• Completely rewrote config file system. bsnes.cfg is now saved to user's profile folder on both Windows and Linux, allowing multi-user support
• A lot more work has been done behind the scenes, including massive code cleanups and portability improvements

Ootake 1.07 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 01:09 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Turbografx 16

| - The processing of ADPCM voice was modeled on the movement of a real machine. "Top wo Nerae vol.1" came to operate.
- The CPU(HuC6280) processing part was sped up. I think that processing lightened in some measure of a personal computer environment so not fast.
- When "Garou Densetsu Special" or "Ryuuko no Ken" is played, it becomes "setting of CD-ROM access fast" automatically.
- "Show Debug Window" was added to "Setting->Tool" menu. (for Developer)
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

 PCSX2 - Metal Gear Solid 3
Posted by CKemu @ 03:03 AM CET | Comments: 4 | Playstation 2

Over on PCSX2.net - home of the PCSX2 emulator (A Playstation 2 Emulator for Windows and Linux), I have posted news of current development going into the next version!
| Refraction, what have you done? You've changed history. You've created a Time Paradox!
Real Time Clock (RTC) has been recently implimented by Refraction. PCSX2 now takes the current system time from your OS and inserts the value into PCSX2 upon launch, from that point onwards the emulated RTC counts independently from the OS.
So? you wonder, well apart from the BIOS now displaying the correct time and date - you would think this is a minor addition to PCSX2, nothing more than an addition to authenticity? Well you're in for a suprise!
It struck me when talking to Refraction over a cup of coffee, Metal Gear Solid 3 uses system time for various fun aspects of the game - Such as being able to kill The End from old age if you set the RTC 1 year ahead after saving during the battle.
Metal Gear Solid 3 had never done anything under PCSX2, so with the RTC addition to PCSX2 in mind, I popped the disc into my drive, and eureka it booted!! This however was only the beginning of an epic saga between Zerofrog and the Konami programmers!
Zerofrog has spent days wrestling with Knonami's ability to push the PS2 hardware to it's limits by making zeroGS KOSMOS push the limits of GPU's, Metal Gear Solid 3 certainly loves it's post processing! Not only has he managed to get the game looking ..well from absolute garbage to gorgeous, he's also managed to stop Snake from slipping through holes in the universe instantly.
The game still has issues, Snake still manages to find holes in the universe (falls through geometry), and he still likes to get stuck inside trees, rocks or just teleport off the edge of the world (the video demonstrates the latter beautifully!). The game also still suffers from visual issues, such as missing textures and the specular lighting overlay being drawn wrong, hopefully by the time the next incarnation of PCSX2 comes out, these issues will be mostly resolved.
So to celebrate this game going from nothing to ingame and the challenges it threw at us, we're releasing a video and 63 shots! Not all 63 are here though, General Emulation run by our betatester General Plot has 31 exclusive shots, so head there for the rest!
All this maybe great news (especially for MGS fans), but there is more, you may have noticed the nothing status games have been decressing steadily and the playable count is going up on our on site compatibility list, including some rather nice games...and there is a new plugin coming up...but you'll have to wait! ;)
Now enjoy the video which you can grab from here (it's a torrent so please seed, and check out our other torrented videos here)
