Ootake Ver1.46 ``xCronos``xAnd it must be fate to close this newz round with an Ootake update! <br><br><i>2008/04/25 1.46 released<br>  - The volume (listening-feeling) in the small volume part of the PSG sound<br>    was brought close to a real machine.

I think that I was able to improve the entire<br>    tone quality.<br>    Especially, a small-volume game as "Soldier Blade" and "Gunhed (<br>    Blazing Lazers)" obtained a big improvement.<br>  - In the visual scene of "Akumajou Dracula X", the problem that the top on<br>    the screen falls into disorder uncommonly was corrected. * The disorder is<br>    still seen when changing to the setting that displays the over scanning<br>    area. Therefore, the play switched to the setting that doesn't display the<br>    over scanning area ("F11" key. The setting can be maintained by "File-><br>    Set Resume" menu or the state saving.) is recommended.<br>  - Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.</i><br><br><a href="http://www.ouma.jp/ootake/" target="_new">Ootake</a>``xEkpAEuFlupPYdjhKmm``x1209143840``x(default)

MAME & SCUMM On The XBOX 360?``xCronos``xMaybe...<br><br><i>In light of the recent 360 hack and possibility of widespread homebrew in the future, I wanted to share some news with you and X-S.<br><br>I’ve been working on a port of MAME to the 360. I call it ‘MAME360&#8242;.<br><br>Now for a bit about the project:<br><br>It’s based on MAME 0.112 and is fairly easy to keep up-to-date (doesn’t need any messing around with like Mameox on the xbox). <br>Originally it was based on SDLMAME but I’ve since ported a 360 specific osd layer (so SDL for the 360 exists - as an aside I also have a port of ScummVM in the works too). <br>Mame doesn’t include any dynarec cpu emulation on anything other than an x86 platform. So any game that is PSX or N64 based for example doesn’t run at all well. <br>Most other stuff (that I’ve tried) runs pretty well. <br>At the moment it will only run on 360 dev/debug/test kits.

Ootake Ver1.39!``xCronos``xThe latest update to this fine PCEngine/TG16 emulator!<br><br><i>- The resolution of the PSG sound (wave memory sound) has been improved. As<br>    a result, the tone has approached a real machine. On the other hand,<br>    processing is a little heavy. If a personal computer environment not<br>    fast is used, select "Volume"->"Light PSG" menu.<br>  - Processing of drawing on the screen was sped up. Additionally, if "Volume"<br>    ->"Light PSG" menu is used, the processing lightens. And, In the window<br>    mode of "Windows Vista", V-Sync comes to work, and compatibility with<br>    gadgets has improved.<br>  - In "F1 Circus", the bug not to be able to start car (Generated from v1.29.<br>    Controller processing relation) was corrected.<br>  - The processing speed and timing were elaborately brought close to a real<br>    machine. At the title screen of "Macross 2036", the problem that had<br>    fallen into disorder by one frame occasionally was solved.<br>  - When "Private eye dol" is started, the message to recommend [CD Install (<br>    "CD-ROM"->"Install" menu)] is displayed. The screen display of the demo is<br>    steady by the "CD Install".<br>  - It corresponded to the initial shipment version of "Linda Cube".<br>  - Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.</i><br><br><br><a href="http://www.ouma.jp/ootake/" target="_new">Ootake Homepage</a>``xEkpuEuEkZpOnOMBgPA``x1204141270``x(default)

RAINE 0.50.7 & NeoRaine 1.0.5``xCronos``xCouple of updates to both Raine and NeoRaine!<br><br><i>Common changes :<br><br>Code:<br>* fullheight scanlines + double width are back from the allegro version,<br>   it's a new choice of scanlines in video options<br> * Took back the "pixel double" scaler from the allegro version too. You can<br>   now choose the kind of scaling you want if you force normal blits in video<br>   options.<br> * Added hq2x and hq3x scalers in MMX versions only.<br><br>And specific for neoraine :<br> - fix the samples in samurai spirits rpg (random battles), this shouldn't affect any other game, I think this is the only game which rewrites so many bios functions instead of using them...<br> - Fix the speed hacks when using the so called raster frame. For example, street hoop's demo was really too fast!!!<br> - experimental support for mode2/2350 isos. Normally neocd isos are supposed to be in mode1/2048, but since there seems to be some in 2350 format...<br><br>And also for neoraine there is a new choice in the main menu to decide what the exit command of some games will do. Be carefull it's not really for gamers, and the test mode is only the test mode of the console, not of the games, which makes it the most useless test mode ever for a gamer ! And be carefull, this test mode can erase your memory card (but it warns you first !). Don't touch this menu entry unless you are curious !</i><br><br>leech 'em  <a href="http://www.rainemu.com/html/download/latest.html" target="_new">HERE</a> but do note there is a seperate link for NeoRaine at that downloads page.

Editorial Correction/Revision!``xCronos``xMy bad! Kinda! It has come to my attention that the No$GBA emulator now requires a donation via PayPal to download the latest version. I had mentioned in the latest newz on this emulator, that it was still free! Now the news of this is on the emulator's homepage if you scroll down, as follows...<br><br><i>If you don't have paypal (I know it isn't available in all countries), or don't have the money - sorry - no new update. But wait, the current version will become free for download when the next newer version comes out (next month or so). So please be patient. For now, you can download the next older version (for free) below. And keep in mind, without donations I can't keep working fulltime on no$gba, so it'd be updated less often, and so, paypal donations are a great invention - even for people whom don't have paypal at all :-) <br></i><br><br>So my bad for not paying more attention! BUT I'm also a bit miffed that the title of the emu hasn't changed AND the fact that a donation isn't really a donation when you are forced to pay it to download a program. It's just plain misleading, and we at EmuChrist don't typically support commercialized emulators anyhow. I am even striking the newz posted yesterday and will refuse to endorse the emulator in the future while this misleading practice continues. ``xEEAlEpEEAVwAxfitZb``x1198101195``x(default)

Mednafen 0.8.4``xBrad``xMednafen is a great multi-console emulator for Windows and Linux. Changes in todays release:<br><UL><LI>PC-FX:  Some RAINBOW registers weren't being reset on emulated system reset.  Fixed.<br><LI>PC-FX:  Added dummy support for the external bus reset register.<br><LI>PC-FX:  Altered the way garbage data is handled by RAINBOW to fix a graphics bug in the Tengai Makyu options screen.<br><LI>PC-FX:  Reworked a large part of the KING SCSI emulation code, and parts of the CDROM device emulation code.  Previously non-working-at-all games  "Battle Heat" and "Tengai Makyu" work now. The non-anime game mode in "Tyoushin Heiki Zeroigar" works now.  "Der Langrisser FX" no longer locks up if you skip the intro movie. "Yuna FX" no longer locks up in one of the intro movies. These changes will cause some save state incompatibilities with previous versions of Mednafen. Some of the SCSI changes also affect the PCE CDROM emulation, which may also result in save-state incompatibility issues, particularly if the save state occurred during a CDROM data transfer operation.)<br><LI>PC-FX:  Added setting "pcfx.cdspeed".  If you want to change this, read the documentation first!<br><LI>Cleaned up the video deinitialization code slightly, and fixed a few bugs in the OpenGL deinitialization code.<br><LI>PC-FX:  Reads from the dummy KING register 0x07 will now return 0xFF, per the devkit docs.<br><LI>PC-FX:  Reads from KING register 0x0B will now return the "DMA end" bit in D0 set correctly(at least, according to the developer docs).<br><LI>Fixed a compilation error after running configure with --disable-nes.<br><LI>PC-FX:  Reads from I/O port 0xFC0 will *now* return the current timer counter value.  The switch statement mask value was wrong...<br><LI>Removed the warning in the documentation about error correction of raw data track rips, as Mednafen will now perform simple correction using the EDC and L-EC data(since 0.8.4-rc3).  This could conceivably cause problems with naive hacks/translations/patches that neglect to update<br>the EDC and L-EC data, so it can be disabled by setting the setting "cdrom.lec_eval" to 0. L-EC correction is based off code from dvdisaster(<a href="http://dvdisaster.net/">http://dvdisaster.net/</a>).<br><LI>PCE, PC-FX:  Removed some debug printf()'s that were left in 0.8.4-rc3 by mistake.</UL><br><a href="http://mednafen.com/" target="_new">Mednafen</a><br>``xEEAuAkElElWiRbXjGG``x1194921818``x(default)

In addition: [Vas Crabb]<br>* Provided single-precision reciprocal approximation code for PowerPC and x86 with SSE2.<br>* Filled in all other TBD functions in eigccx86.h for completeness.<br>* Conditionalised some code in eigccppc.h so that it isn't used when the compiler has 64-bit instructions available.<br><LI>Added static qualifiers and renamed symbols in MAME in an effort to further tidy up the global namespace. Generally generic names were targeted and some symbols that were both static and extern. Some specifics: [Atari Ace]<br>* K053247_ram was made static throughout and the existing<br>K053247_export_config was used to obtain the value in xmen.c. <br>* The enums DS1991_STATE and DSP_TYPE were unused and were therefore removed.<br>* Dead code in cps3.c and thayers.c was discovered and commented out.<br><LI>Made almost all input port definitions static. [Aaron Giles]<br><LI>Obsoleted the GAMEB macro, which is no longer necessary. [Atari Ace]<br><LI>Fixed casting issues in new inline validity checks. [R. Belmont]<br><LI>Some build-related improvements to the sound cores: [Atari Ace]<br>* The SCSP dependency on mame/drivers/stv.c was removed allowing it to built independent of the driver.<br>* The WAVE dependency on MESS code was made explicit, so it can be built independentally of MESS.<br>* VOTRAX can now be built independentally of SAMPLES.<br>* The YM2612 core now can be built without including the YM3438 core.<br>* Unnecessary uses of BUILD_ and HAS_ macros have been removed.<br>* BUILD_ instead of HAS_ macros are used in 3812intf.c for<br>consistency with the other fm cores.<br><LI>Added DIP locations to several SSV games (in ssv.c). [Vas Crabb]<br><LI>Corrected some errors in the SH4 core and implemented store queues and the basics of DMA. Added a call to simulate dma transfers with external devices. [Samuele Zannoli]<br><LI>Expanded polynew.c to support quad rendering. Converted midvunit.c over to using the new quad rendering, which fixes a number of rendering issues that have plagued the driver since the start. [Aaron Giles]<br><LI>Added Z-clipping logic to polynew.c. Converted namcos22 over to using that code. Simplified namcos22 significantly, working in quads throughout the lower-level pipeline and then handing the results off to polynew.c.

[Curt Coder]<br><LI>Did a complete overhaul of the Mad Alien driver. [Stefan Jokish]<br> - merged memory maps and added mirror addresses<br> - doubled sound chip frequency<br> - implemented IRQ acknowledge for the sound CPU<br> - added stub functions for missing discrete sounds<br> - re-implemented tilemaps (now the tunnel walls scroll into view)<br> - hooked up 6845 CRT controller<br> - made several fixes related to color handling<br> - cleaned up inputs and added dip switch locations<br> - raised main CPU speed (guesswork)<br> - added save state support<br><LI>Repaired the IC24 timer behaviour to fix some of Deal 'Em's bugs, and also added inputs. [James Wallace]<br><LI>Added save state support to skykid. [Mike Haaland]<br><LI>Fixed tiny.mak based on new source reorg. [Tiago Pierezan Camargo]<br><LI>Added support for CR-589 firmware to the System 573 driver. Made substantial changes to the SCSI support, making it require fewer hacks, and allowing one device to be derived from another. Also added save state support. [smf]<br><LI>Added SCI support to M6803/HD63701. [Curt Coder]<br><LI>Fixed several misnamed sound samples interfaces. [Atari Ace]<br><LI>Switched model1 lookup functions to be index based rather than requiring a linear scan. [Atari Ace]<br><LI>Added generic I2C bus memory support. Hooked up to the cubocd32 driver. [smf]<br><LI>Cleaned up inline assembly support: [Aaron Giles]<br> * moved all inlinable functions into new module eminline.h<br> * defined a number of new inline functions, including:<br>    - 32x32 -> 64 bit multiply<br>    - fast approximate floating point reciprocal<br> * removed old inline definitions from osinline.h, osd_cpu.h, etc.<br> * eminline.h contains C implementations of everything<br> * new module eigccx86.h contains GCC-compatible x86/64 versions<br> * new module eigccppc.h contains GCC-compatible PowerPC versions<br> * eminline.h automatically detects GCC environments and includes appropriate file<br> * osinline.h now only used in non-GCC environments<br> * updated osd/windows/osinline.h to contain MSVC-compatible versions<br><LI>Added NORM implementation to the TMS32031 core. [Aaron Giles]<br><LI>Created new rgbutil module which consists of inline functions for common RGB manipulation. This module can be accelerated with SSE2 or other SIMD operations. By default, only 64-bit Intel builds make use of SSE, since it can be assumed on those platforms. Reimplemented the namcos22 rasterizer in terms of these inline functions. Also updated<br>the gaelco3d rasterizer to use this module for faster bilinear filtering. [Aaron Giles]<br><LI>Made some progress on the Midway Zeus-based system. The 3d command stream is now parsed and the format is partially understood, enough to display some polygons but with incorrect textures in Mortal Kombat 4.

Result was, ALL m1 ARE at least 128kx8; ALL s1 ARE 128kx8. The old m1 "overdumps" were incomplete dumps. In addition, it has been discovered that all "p-roms" do have a minimum size of 4mbit. A number of sets have been restored to their "original" state, and a number of others have been marked as bad dumps where appropriate.

ColEm 2.4 Released!``xCronos``xWell I've been around! I wasn't posting news so status updates about the boards would be easier to spot! It's been a while since an update on that so before things start looking TOO stagnant...<br><br>ColEm is a cool little Colecovision emualtor with netplay and GOOD Super Action Controller support. Here's what's new with this release...<br><br><i>Starting with version 2.4, I have ported ColEm to the UIQ3-based smartphones from Sony Ericsson and Motorola. Unfortunately, I only have one UIQ phone, the MotoRIZR Z8 generously lent by Motorola. So, I would like to ask people with UIQ3 phones to test the ColEm-UIQ oe their devices and report any found problems by email or via the EMUL8 discussion group. <br><br>Other changes include a better "soft video" and scanline simulation mode, and multiple stability fixes in ColEm-Symbian (S60 version). Please see the documentation for the full list of changes and additions. <br><br>ColEm supports both standard and SuperAction controllers, including the spinners (controlled with mouse movement). I have also started adding Coleco Adam emulation but it is not finished yet. <br></i><br><br>Grab it from the <br><a href="http://www.zxspin.co.uk/" target="_new">ColEm Homepage</a><br><br>BTW... I've seen posts and gotten some email asking for the 411 on the EC forums. I dunno! I don't do any work on the site anymore, and I haven't had contact with either Brad or Lord Ashram for weeks.

[Nicola Salmoria]<br><LI>The OSD layer is now required to supply to additional synchronization primitives: osd_compare_exchange32() and osd_compare_exchange64(). These primitives should implement an atomic compare and exchange of 32-bit and 64-bit values, respectively. Added implementations of these functions to the Windows OSD layer. [Aaron Giles]<br><LI>Defined two new inline functions that are built on the new OSD primitives: osd_compare_exchange_ptr(), which performs an atomic compare/exchange on a pointer of the appropriate size, and osd_sync_add() which atomically adds a value to a location in memory. [Aaron Giles]<br><LI>Changed implementation of OSD work queues that are created with the WORK_QUEUE_FLAG_MULTI hint. Such queues now create n-1 threads, where n in the number of logical processors in the system. This allows the main thread to continue accomplishing things while other threads process the work. If the main thread subsequently calls osd_work_queue_wait(), it will then dynamically "jump in" and help the other threads complete all the work items. [Aaron Giles]<br><LI>Added new work item flag WORK_ITEM_FLAG_SHARED. When specified on a work item that is queued to a work queue created with the WORK_QUEUE_FLAG_MULTI hint, it means that all threads will be dispatched to process the one work item, instead of the first thread removing it. These "shared" work items are only considered complete when all processing threads have returned. [Aaron Giles]<br><LI>Added support for controlling multithreading behavior through an environment variable OSDPROCESSORS. To override the default behavior, set OSDPROCESSORS equal to the number of logical processors you wish the OSD layer to pretend you have. [Aaron Giles]<br><LI>Changed the 3dfx Voodoo emulation code to take advantage of the new threading mechanisms above. It now creates a work queue with the WORK_QUEUE_FLAG_MULTI flag set, and uses shared work items to spread rasterization work across multiple processors. Note that this support should be considered experimental; under some circumstances it is known to deadlock. If you encounter problems, set OSDPROCESSORS to 1 to effectively produce the previous behavior. [Aaron Giles]<br><LI>Added "top 20" dedicated rasterizers for all the Seattle games and Gauntlet Legends/Dark Legacy. These improve rasterization performance by another 10-20%. [Aaron Giles]<br><LI>Fixed several more bugs in the 64-bit MIPS recompiler. It is now capable of running the Seattle games and the 3D Gauntlets.
