Torna dopo svariati mesi questo promettente emulatore di SEGA Model 2 dallo stesso autore del Nebula:

More accurate emulation of some TGP by using the data tables from the mainboard. You’ll need these
table roms in Model2.zip or inside the game zip. Thanks to Peabo for the donation of a Daytona board
that helped to understand how they worked. This has fixed most of the bugs in daytona usa (reverse and most
invisble wall hits) and sega rally (automatic transmission).
Improved color table decoding that gives more bright colors for some games.
Improved SCSP timing. It should be more accurate and musics should not sound out of sync anymore. As a
bonus feature I’ve left in a debug sound player that allows you to load a SSF (Saturn Sound Format) file
for playing. To use it, load a game using SCSP (model 2a,b or c) and enter test mode (so it doesn’t send
sound commands) then press LeftControl+F5 and choose the ssf file to play.
Improved clipping. By moving to vertex/pixel shaders I’ve got rid of all the clipping issues that happened
with ATI video cards and recent NVIDIA ones. Remember to remove set SoftwareVertexProcessing to 0. You’ll need
a pixel shader 1.1 and vertex shader 1.1 capable card. It’s the lowest shader version so any video should work. As
a side effect of this change, there is only a geometrizer now, so the Geometrizer opion in the ini file is not used.
Fixed problems with textures ending in the lowest line of the texture sheet not being uploaded to direct3d (sega
rally black background in 2nd stage and topskater missing floors).
Added Wave Runner (Model 2C)
Added support for direct3d automimpap generation (see emulator.ini AutoMip option)
Added network emulation (see NETWORK section below)

* Model 2 Emulator v0.7. This package includes both the normal and MultiCPU versions exes.

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
