Ootake 1.53

Nuova release per questo emulatore di PC-Engine. Le novità:

  • The operation of “Memory Base 128″ and “Mr.Save.” (Preservation device put on the market in Japan)” was brought close to a real machine. In “Nobunaga no Yabou series”, “Sangokushi III”, “Genchouhishi”, “THE ATLAS”, and “Shin Megami Tensei”, it is possible to Load&Save normally. (This information was received from Mr.tori. Very thanks.) *If it doesn’t operate well, please use “File->Open mb128 Folder” menu. And, delete the old MB128 saving file.
  • The I/O processing of PCE(TG16) controller(pad) was brought close to a real machine. In “Shin Megami Tensei”, when you remove “Memory Base 128″( “Input->MB128″ menu), the usual backup RAM saving can be done.
  • With “Windows Vista” or selected “Use System Memory”(”Setting->Screen” menu), the problem that the font of the message(left-top) is not read easily was corrected.
  • “Use System Memory Only Window” was added to “Setting->Screen” menu. With “Use System Memory” at full-screen mode, V-Sync might not work. Use it at such time.
  • Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

Raine 0.50.13 / Neoraine 1.1.5

Riporto il testo integrale della notizia direttamente dal sito ufficiale:

Wow, this one took much longer than the previous one !
At least this time I didn’t rush it, and it should be much better !

Except the usual bug fixes (and there are quite a few, see the changelogs for some of them), there is quite a lot of new stuff added.
The bigest one is the new console, which isn’t anymore a bag of bugs, and which allows to have the first cheats for mslug/ironclad and ssrpg. See the forum and the integrated help if you are interested.
But there is new stuff for everyone this time :

For raine, a surprising fix for the cps2 driver, us classic golf becomes playable (even if it’s a very weird game), the 8bpp games are finally fixed and optimized.

For neoraine : it now supports reading audio tracks directly from the bin file, or from an audio cd ! Try not using an audio cd if you can though, because it’s the less precise way to read audio tracks here. With this it probably supports all the possible ways to play an audio track now ! With this, quite a few fixes, and the new cheats.

Well I think we are slowly reaching the end, the point where I don’t see any interesting new stuff to add to raine. Maybe try to add some C versions of the cpu emulators so that it becomes portable for the psp, but I am not sure I have enough motivation for that yet… If you have new ideas for raine or neoraine, you can post them
