Hey Hawq, are you able to use Nebula? Because it by FAR the best out of all the CPS 2 emulators. It's too bad most people don't have a computer that can run it well.

Mine runs flawlessly!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!
No frame skipping (ZERO FRAMES SKIPPED!) FULL SOUND, FULL SPEED, FULL GRAPHIC DISPLAY, FULL SCREEN, BUILT-IN JUKEBOX, BUILT-IN HEX EDITOR, BUILT-IN GRAPHICS RIP, ONLINE SUPPORT.
OMG the joy

Geez, I sound as if I were describing a DC emu

Hawq1 · Post by **Hawq1** » Wed Dec 31, 1969 6:00 pm

Of course I can use Nebula, I'd be suprised at anyone who couldn't, it runs fine on my P2 350 & I've had it going on a Cyrix M2 300 quite well also. Anyway on to todays news.

Emulator Kawaks 1.35

System PC - Windows

The first emu to fully run KOF2000 (expect another Nebula soon to support it) is it just me or have this & Nebula been getting released at early FinalBurn speeds?.
* New games supported :
- The King of Fighters 2000
- Ganryu (decrypted C)
- Nightmare in the Dark (decrypted C)
- Strikers 1945+ (decrypted C)
- Prehistoric Isle 2 (decrypted C)
The "(decrypted C)" games load faster, require less RAM than their counter part,
and are gameplay wise identical.
See the following feature for how to obtain theyr decrypted roms :
* Added feature to save decrypted Cs from encrypted games.
Enable "Enable save decrypted Cs after loading" in the Tools menu before loading
an encrypted NeoGeo game.
* Support for the new WinJammer S1 rom
* Rewrote audit. It's now a lot more accurate
It can now detect roms with a bad name, a bad crc, or that are missing; and reports
correct rom sizes

* New ClrMAMEPro dat generator.
* Changed it so the Load dialog box filters don't act on Audit or DAT generation anymore

Emulator Utility NextGL v1.5

Emulator PSEmu Pro / ePSXe

OpenGL plugin, heres whats new:
Fixed a possible rectangle transparency problem

Improved the speed of MDECs by using a technique that I used recently in Next3D (A more advanced version of this will appear in later versions of my plugins.)

Fixed mixing alpha testing and blending together. Should work now for the new blending modes

Added the 1B - 1F (fake) blending mode

Added the 0.5B + 0.5F blending mode

Added the 1B - 1F (real) blending mode (thanks to Pete)

Added the 1B + 0.25F blending mode

Added 16-bit color mode as a valid primitive cache page depth

Added 8-bit (true color) as a valid primitive cache page depth

Added detection for paletted textures

Added the paletted texture cache

Both texture caches are now using version numbers. A bit more interesting that way I think

Added paletted textures as a valid page depth

All palletized modes now have dynamic CLUT modification. (Still doesn't work with some specific situations.)

Fixed the FPS counter. It can now handle up to 4 digits and doesn't leave any sort of misleading numbers behind

Added hardware brightness (like in Next3D) for much more accurate polygon and sprite brightness.

The debug output now reports memory in sizes of KB and MB instead of just MB.

Fixed a display/init bug that prevented some MDECs from displaying properly. FINALLY FIXED!

Added the "MDEC only" scanlines option requested by Metal Murphy. It's looking good

Emulator Nebula V1.94

System PC - Windows

CPS 1/2 &Neo-Geo emu.
Changes in this update include:

NEOGEO CD:

Fixed NeoGeo CD game always reported as missing (Red)

Fixed some loading screens that caused emulation crash (mslug,windjammers,
and many more.)

Fixed ISO+MP3 crashes

Fixed kof99 crashing (Nebula was messing with the NeoGeo romset and was trying
to decrypt the code

)

Modified the NeoGeo CD docs, I hope they are clearer now.

NEOGEO:

Added King of Fighters 2000 (decrypted set). You’ll need the Neo-0 dump (kof2k) and
the decrypted dump (kof2kn.zip).

Removed Metal Slug 3 from the gamelist since it was causing some confusion.

Added 512 Kb S rom support (Huge thanks to Mr K for his help

)

I forgot to thank Nicola in the previous version. Many thanks to him for making possible
playing new NeoGeo Games.

Sengoku 3 is NOT SUPPORTED. This game is only 4-5 months old and it’s still in the
arcades.

Changed the gfx decryption method, it should be faster and will require less memory as
now it’s performed before loading any other roms (program or sound).

If there is not enough memory to perform the decryption, games will run with encrypted
graphics. This behaviour was also in the previous release, but I forgot to write it here.
CPS2:

Fixed 4 point interpolation equation that was causing some sound artifacts in high pitched
sounds.

Added the new QSound code to the Directsound 3D renderer (I forgot to add it in the
previous version).

Slightly faster Z80+QSound emulation by removing some unneeded FP operations.

Fixed Directsound 2d Narrow mode always being Mono, now it’s Stereo.

CPS1:

Fixed Nemo (Japan) always appearing in the gamelist.

Emulator Hoxs64 0.9 Beta

System PC - Windows

Commodore 64 emulator for Windows with DirectX7 or higher.
What's new :
More of those fancy demos should now display.
FLI and IFLI should work. (It was sort of working before, if you wrote a program that worked with the old Hoxs64 incompatible timing.)
1) Timing of interrupts with respect to the VIC --> CPU BA line has been fixed (I hope). This information is not easy to find.
2) Introduced a 12 clock cycle delay between the "g-access" data etch of the VIC and the rendering of the pixels. Pixels are rendered with the colour register values that are available at the clock that they are rendered, as opposed to the clock that the pixels are fetched.
3) Fix to allow the border to be turned off by a switch from a 24 line to a 25 line display while the raster line is any where on the "top comparison line". This information seems to be missing from Christian Bauer's VIC Article.
4) Reworked CPU and VIC timing to allow the CPU to influence some additional operations of the VIC at the same clock cycle as the write to the VIC registers.
5) Fixed the VIC to fetch the lower 4 bits of the current CPU opcode when accessing the colour RAM while the address lines are in use by the CPU.
6) Introduced a 2 clock cycle delay (was 1 clock delay) between the CPU write to $D011 and the time that VIC goes from idle to display state given the various logic rules.

(meaning CPU shouldn't be 100% usage when you use Kawaks)

your game keys)

Added some keyboard shortcuts to modify cheats.

Emulator Modeler V0.9.3

System PC - Windows

Sega System 32 emu, heres whats new:
Fixed long-time bug that was causing crackling and hiss in all System 32 games.

V60 core fix for the Super Visual Football attract mode (it no longer hangs

V60 core substantially sped up. This helps the framerate a lot on some of the

Fixed Z80 protection for Burning Rival so sound plays again.

Updated YM3834 emulation to latest version with substantial accuracy fixes
by Jarek Burczynski.

Note and F1 Super Lap. Also fixes some music glitches in various games.

Some savestate bugs fixed. States saved in previous versions of Modeler are no
longer compatible and will not load properly.

Sound fixed to work again in Virtua Racing.

Controls mapped better for the Model 1 games. It's now possible to enter test
mode in Virtua Fighter, and the usual steering controls apply in Virtua Racing.

Preliminary sound added to Virtua Fighter. Now you can hear the invisible
people beating each other up during the attract mode.

Log to .WAV file added. The log will go into a folder called "wave"

Nice reporting as always Hawq.

I'll have to give the new version of Modeler a try, I wouldn't mind playing Virtua Racing again.

Dr Zoiderg sorry but your going to have to wait for Virtua Racing, its still not fully emulated, on the plus side it probably wont be too long before it is. I must admit to mild suprise when I saw this had been moved but this is a better home for it, though what happened to the other emu forums? have they now been assimilated into this one?.[/b]

Dr Zoidberg · Post by **Dr Zoidberg** » Wed Dec 31, 1969 6:00 pm

The Classic & Modern forums were merged with the Main forum, they were all getting the same things posted in them so it was pointless having all three of them.
