 FrodoDS(C64 emulator) updated

News from GPF
| 
I finally had some time to work on FrodoDS again after nearly a year without an update, I have added save snapshot support and loading snapshots directly from filelist.
Will save the snapshot using the currently mounted .D64 name changing extension to .FSS. This new functionality is on the button X.
Also now when it starts the filelist will no longer popup automatically, so after the c64 boots up, press the left trigger to bring up the filelist, now if you select a snapshot file ending in .FSS, it will automount the same name with .D64 and then autostart the snapshot.
I have updated my website
http://gpf.dcemu.co.uk/Frodoc64.shtml
with the latest release and sourcecode.
Enjoy,
Troy(GPF)

Ootake 1.5.0 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 06:56 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Turbografx 16

Message from the author:
| + Please let me do a little an important talk for the game field. It is continuation of the story (Input Delay(Lag) problem) written last time.
+ The delay influences people who do not feel the delay, too. Even if you cannot feel the delay, the difficulty of the game goes up certainly, and the pleasure of the game certainly falls. As a result, there might be a case that goes away from the game (Or, the played frequency decreases. Without recognizing the cause for myself).
+ "Golf game" is the most remarkable to feel the delay. Please play "Naxat Open"(the masterpiece golf game of "PC Engine") by full-screen(for easy to watch). And, watch the power meter(small circle) of the screen seriously when you swing. In the state, push the button of the pad when the power meter(small circle) came right above person's head. When playing with the display monitor where delay hardly exists, in "Ootake", the meter (small circle) stops at once if the button is pushed. But, in "MagicEngine(input-lag is large)", the meter(small circle) stops in the place that shifted to the right a little. If you do not push the button (do not shot) after this, this test can be repeated. Please try repeatedly. And, you must feel the difference of "Play Sense".
+ When you recognize the input-lag, if you push the button ahead of time, it becomes a temporary solution. However, you will not feel good feelings in the method. True interest of the action game is ruined. Though it is not desirable, the timing of the golf game can become accustomed. However, the timing of the baseball and tennis game becomes unnatural late. Because up, down, left, and right movement is necessary. Even the timing of other actions and shooting games is similar.
+ As a result, I strongly worry about the misunderstanding (difficult and not interesting for the delay) of the game.
* Example of measures on emulator author side -> http://www.ouma.jp/ootake/delay.html
* Measures on user side PC environment -> http://www.ouma.jp/ootake/delay-solution.html
+ Therefore, please read above-mentioned "Measures on user side PC environment", and make a good PC environment if possible. And, in "Ootake", enjoy playing "PC Engine(TG16)" games sincerely.
+ Thank you for reading. Hereafter, they are update details of v1.50.
|
Changes:
| - "Show FPS" was added to "Info" menu. "Frame Rate (frames displayed per one second)" is displayed on the screen(left-bottom). When the personal computer is an enough speed, this keeps almost 60(occasional 59). When this frequently falls below 60, the processing speed of the personal computer is insufficient. In that case, please lighten the setting (FullScreen[F12] or "Volume->Light PSG" menu).
- In the start demo of "Efera & Jiliora - The Emblem From Darkness", the bug that the voice had become interrupted (generated by v1.49) was corrected.
- When source is compiled with gcc, the part that was not able to be compiled correctly according to the version of gcc was corrected.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

Ootake 1.49 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 06:37 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Turbografx 16

A message from the author:
| + This will be an important talk for the future of "PC Engine(TG16)" emulator. Please read though it is my not good English Language.
+ "Ootake" is not satisfied with "the game was able to be started". "The game can enjoy even ending" is a target. Therefore, Ootake sticks to detailed reproduction. Especially, it sticks to the reproduction of "Reactive speed of the Joypad".
+ Please do seriously and compare the Shooting & Action game by "MagicEngine(Charge)" and "Ootake(Free)". Perhaps, almost playing by "Ootake (the delay after the pad is operated is minimum)" will be able to take a high score. I think the difference of the operation feeling to be felt.
+ This greatly influences "Played happiness", too. Though it becomes a severe opinion, it will not be able to enjoy the game enough by "MagicEngine(the delay from the pad operation to the reaction is large)". The delay also has danger of making it to the one to which even "Evaluation of the game" was mistaken. Therefore, "Ootake" is checked always severely "Whether it is possible to enjoy it by the sense similar to a real machine or not?". Because it is a respect of minimum to a past masterpiece "PC Engine(TG16)" game. About the delay measures of "Ootake" - http://www.ouma.jp/ootake/delay.html
+ There are no feelings that criticize "MagicEngine". I think that it did wonderful work. But, it greatly delayed the development of "PC Engine" emulator compared with other machine (NES, SNES, GENESIS, etc.) emulators. Because the monopolized (even the BAD ROM-image could be played) "MagicEngine" was "Source closed-door". Other machine(NES, SNES, GENESIS, etc.) emulators has developed greatly by an excellent source code and information on hot people.
+ Fortunately now, "Mednafen(Free)" and "Ootake(Free)" exist. Those reproduction level is higher than "MagicEngine". And, they keep disclosing the source and information. I feel that it is time when "MagicEngine" also discloses the source and information if "PC Engine(TG16) is loved. This is my selfish hope. Because the continuance of development can be handed over to young people who love retro game. "Even future generations keep telling an old masterpiece with perfect reproduction." I think that this is essence of the emulator.
+ Thank you for reading. Hereafter, they are update details of v1.49.
|
And here are the changes:
|
- "Set Other SystemCard image" and "Play with Other SystemCard" were added to "CD-ROM" menu. "System card of an old version" can be set (It is possible up to two), and it can be started at once.
- "Play with Backup-RAM Full" was added to "CD-ROM" menu. The state that the capacity of backup RAM becomes full is reproduced, and the warning screen of each game can be seen.
- The processing part of ADPCM sound was brought close to a real machine. In "Urusei Yatsura", the warning voice full of the capacity of backup-RAM is sounded to the last minute.
- When "Arunamu no Kiba" is started, the message of "Recommend Install" is displayed. ("CD-ROM -> Install(CDspeed-up)" menu) Then, it is possible to play with stability.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

Ootake 1.48 Released

|
| 1.48:
- v1.47 had a miserable bug. The bug of the CPU(HuC6280) emulation (In "Motoroader", the screen display falls into disorder, etc.) was corrected.
1.47:
- CPU(HuC6280) processing part was sped up. I think that processing lightened in some measure of a personal computer environment so not fast.
- The repetition processing of the CD-DA sound was brought close to a real machine. In the visual scene of "Arunamu no Kiba", the problem that had stopped at a pitch-dark screen occasionally (generated from a recent version) was solved.
- In "Popful Mail", the weight of processing was reduced in some measure with PC not fast.
- In the visual scene(one place) of "Nekketsu Legend Baseballer", the interrupted voice was corrected.
- At Full-Screen mode, when setting it to the resolution of 1600x1200 or more, the bug to which the screen had not been correctly occasionally displayed was corrected.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.
