Raine Frequently Asked Questions
What is Raine?
Raine is an emulator, it emulates some M68000 and M68020 arcade games and is
mainly focused on Taito and Jaleco games hardware. It started as an experiment
with the Rainbow Islands romset, dumped by Aracorn/Romlist. Raine can emulate
many nice games now, and new games (previously unemulated) are appearing weekly.
Sound is also getting better, mainly thanks to the work of Hiromitsu Shioya.
Emulating cpu's and sound chips takes quite a lot of coding time, so, like most
of the current emulators, Raine uses emulation engines already available when
possible. Raine uses the following:
CPU:
M68000: Neill Corlett's Starscream 68000 emulator.
M68020: Based on Bernd Schmidt's UAE 68020 emulator.
Z80: Neil Bradley's MZ80 emulator.
M68705: Richard Mitton's static recompiler.
SOUND:
YM2151: Jarek Burczynski.
YM2203: Tatsuyuki Satoh.
YM2610: Tatsuyuki Satoh and Hiromitsu Shioya.
YM3526: Carl-Henrik Skaarstedt (or via SB OPL).
YM3812: Carl-Henrik Skaarstedt (or via SB OPL).
M6295: Hiromitsu Shioya.
M6585: Richard Bush.
MSM5205: Hiromitsu Shioya.
Requirements
These are rough estimates, based only on the DOS version of raine, full speed means
running at 60fps with no frameskipping.
'Abundant' requirements:
- Pentium II Processor with MMX
- 40Mb of ram
- Win9x/MS-DOS
- 'DOS friendly' sound card
- Graphics card (VESA2 or better support recommended)
=> You should get full speed in nearly all games with
sound at a high rate (my current pc).
'Average' requirements:
- Pentium Processor
- 16Mb of ram
- Win9x/MS-DOS
- 'DOS friendly' sound card
- Graphics card (VESA2 or better support recommended)
=> You should get good speed in most games with sound
at an average rate. Many games should be full speed
(my old pc).
'Minimal' requirements:
- 486 SX-25
- Win3.1/MS-DOS
- 12Mb of ram
- 'DOS friendly' sound card
- Graphics card (VESA2 or better support recommended)
=> You should find most games playable if you disable
sound and set a manual frameskip of about 4 (JCK's pc).
Installing roms
Before playing any game, you need to have the correct romset. Try the links at the end of
this text or a search engine. If you can't find them, too bad. When you have downloaded
some games you can either:
a) Put the zipped rom in the raine\roms\ directory
b) Unzip the roms to raine\roms\<gamename>\
If you get stuck, learn about directories first (also read the Raine FAQ).
Zip Support
You also can place zipped copies of the romsets in your roms directories (eg. raine\roms).
Raine will then access the zip to load the roms, saving a lot of diskspace. Zip support
is internal to Raine (using zlib and minizip), so you do not need pkunzip to use it.
Rom directories
You can now configure four different rom directories via the gui or config file (very
useful if you have some roms on cd-rom or a network). These rom directories are used
to load both zipped and unzipped roms. To edit them from the gui, click on 'change game',
then on 'dirs'. Either type in the paths, or use the file selector (click the small square
buttons).

?!: Small message.
Game Setup Options
From the Game Setup menu, you can change some things related to how the games
function, you need to know the consequences before altering these options, so:
Reset Game:
Reset the game emulation, you'll lose your current game progress unless you've
saved it first.
Dipswitches:
This option allows you to alter the dip switch settings for the current game,
this feature is also present somewhere on the arcade originals, but any changes
you make are not guaranteed to work until the game is reset, so you should click
on reset game after any changes. This is the nature of Dipswitches.
Action Replay:
This is a cheat system, see 'Action Replay' Cheating below.
ROM Version:
This is Taito specific. With most of Taito's roms after 1987, they use a byte of
the rom to define what continent/language the arcade board is for use in. Usually
there are two main variants:
Japanese version: Usually with a 'this game is for use in Japan only' copyright
message at the start. The game will not necessarily have Japanese text, sometimes
it will (eg. Cadash, Liquid Kids).
American version: Usually with a 'this game is for use in America only' copyright
message at the start. Also the American version nearly always has a 'winners don't
use drugs' logo (or sometimes 'recycle it, don't trash it' logo) at the start.
For some games there are more interesting/useful version settings too:
------------------------+-------------------------+-----------------------------
Original | Switch | Main Changes
------------------------+-------------------------+-----------------------------
Bonze Adventure | Jigoku | new title screen
Darius 2 | Sagaia | new title screen
Elevator Action 2 | Elevator Action Returns | new title screen
Growl | Runark | new title screen
Jigoku | Bonze Adventure | new title screen
Kaiser Knuckle | Global Champion | some diff gfx and stuff
Plotting | Flipull | new title screen
Puzzle Bobble 2 | Bust-a-Move Again | all new game gfx
Rastan Saga 2 | Nastar Warrior | new title screen
Super Space Invaders 91 | Majestic 12 | new title screen
Twin Qix | Twin Qix Japan | all new game gfx
------------------------+-------------------------+-----------------------------
This option is sometimes risky to switch between (it's not possible for arcade
owners to switch it at all, unless they get a new set of 68k roms). You should
always reset the game after changing the setting. Also, with the F3-System games,
changing this setting will void the game's eeprom. When this happens press the
test mode key (default is 'u') to reset your eeprom. You might also need to click
on 'reset game' again to achieve a clean reset with F3-System.
Possibly we should force a reset when the rom version changes, but for now it's
your choice.
'Action Replay' Cheating
There is a simple implementation of an Action Replay type cheat system. Many
console emulators have the option to apply 'action replay/game genie' type cheat
codes, although they usually don't have a search option, which is a shame. The
cheat stuff in raine is split in two windows. One for editing cheat data and one
for searching for cheats.
Cheat Editing
In this window you can do the following:
- Enable/disable cheats
- Edit cheat data
- Delete cheats
- Add new cheats
If you get messages like 'work ram error' appearing. Wait for the title screen
before enabling cheats. This is the nature of Action Replay cheats.
Cheat Searching
In this window you can find new cheat data. To start a search, click new search,
then choose a search mode. When you are ready to continue the search, click
continue search. There are four search modes:
Absolute search:
- Searches for absolute byte values.
- Most useful for lives and other data.
Relative search:
- Searches for the difference between byte values.
- Useful when absolute search fails, like if the game stores lives starting with
ascii 0x30 or stores lives +/- 1 from the value shown ingame. Remember that if
the difference is positive you should enter something like 0x01 (+1), if it is
negative, then you should be searching for 0xFF (-1).
Single Bit search:
- Searches for single bit values.
- Useful for status flags, and stuff like 'extend' in bubble symphony, which
is stored in 6 bits of one byte.
Slow deep search:
- Searches for the following changes in byte values:
new byte == old byte, new byte != old byte,
new byte > old byte, new byte >= old byte,
new byte < old byte, new byte <= old byte
- Useful for timers and anything not found with the other modes. A nice cheat to
have is invulnerability, use this mode to find the invulnerability timer.
The search results are shown in a listbox, when there are more than 512 results,
only the first 512 will be in the listbox. You can double click on the search
results to open a scrollable hex/ascii view of the memory area where the result
lies. Any bytes that are in the search results will have *..* around them, so
you can easily spot them.
General Controls
General ingame keys:
0 - Save screen shot (named raine???.pcx)
F2 - Save game state
F3 - Switch save state slot (10 different slots)
F4 - Load game state
F11 - Toggle the fps/profile display (5 different modes)
PGUP - Increase manual frame skip (no effect with auto frame skip)
PGDN - Decrease manual frame skip (no effect with auto frame skip)

Default Player keys:
<edit in the gui:control setup/change keys>
3 - Coin A 4 - Coin B
T - Tilt Y - Service
1 - Player 1 Start 2 - Player 2 Start
UP - Player 1 Up S - Player 1 Up
DOWN - Player 1 Down X - Player 1 Down
LEFT - Player 1 Left Z - Player 1 Left
RIGHT - Player 1 Right C - Player 1 Right
B..M - Player 1 Buttons Q..E - Player 2 Buttons
Misc:
CTRL+ALT+END - Emergency exit to DOS (works at anytime, but ugly)
- The default game buttons are not ctrl and alt, this is due to the
intrusion of windows keys between ctrl-alt on many keyboards (lame).
F3 System
Extra controls for the Taito F3-System games:
F5 - Toggle BG0 Layer
F6 - Toggle BG1 Layer
F7 - Toggle BG2 Layer
F8 - Toggle BG3 Layer
F9 - Toggle Sprite Layer
F10 - Toggle FG0 Layer
F12 - Toggle Pixel Layer (if used)
- There are occasions in F3-System games where things look better if you
disable a BG layer, for vaious reasons. Reasons like bg zooms, 'snes-like'
transparencies, misc line-line effects including scrolling, priority
swapping, enable-disable, also zooming on a line-line basis. These things
are not emulated currently. F3-System is a full 32-bit system, and it's no
fun trying to add all that on a p120.
Config Files
raine.cfg: Contains general raine settings and comments
games.cfg: Contains input, dipswitch and rom version settings for each game
cheats.cfg: Contains game cheat codes
bonzchip.cfg: Contains data for emulating the c-chip in Bonze Adventure/Jigoku
raine.cfg and games.cfg are automatically generated, so they are not supplied
in raine.zip. raine.cfg is also automatically commented, you should read it.
cheats.cfg is also updated when you make changed in within gui.

* you may need to move some roms from p47j into p47 now, because the
original p47 set was incomplete and so relied on p47j. also the game name
became p47 (no longer p47usa).
** similar to p47, you may need to move some roms from rodlandj into rodland.
also the names changed (rodlande -> rodland and rodland -> rodlandj).
sorry, but this is what happens when we add a japanese set without knowing
that an english set is going to be dumped/exist.
*** the sample roms are shared.
**** the japanese font data roms are shared.
***** you _will_ need to move some roms from pipibibi into whoopee. sorry, but
as pipibibi is a bootleg, it makes sense for it to read the common roms
from whoopee (and not the other way around).
Raine Team
Richard Bush (Antiriad)
Main coding from the start.
Mário Silva (Taito)
Organisation, coordination, rom finding, www updating and
a lot of other stuff.
Hiromitsu Shioya (Hiro-Shi)
Main sound coding, implementation of sound playback
and emulators, emulation of M6295, MSM5205 and YM2610.
Plus many other improvements.
Richard Mitton (Spindizzy)
Emulation of Plotting, Bubble Bobble, Kiki Kai Kai and maybe a few other
z80 games (wait and see!). Sound help, cool MCU static recompiler,
and more nice things.
Cedrick Collomb (Nitch)
For knowing everything about x86 asm optimization :).
Katharsis
Fixing some dipswitches, crc32 and other beta stuff.
Special Thanks
Many thanks to the following kind people who have donated hardware to help
when my old HD died. Not only did I get a new HD, but I actually got half
the components of my pc updated!! Certainly, there would not be any raine
in the last 4 months without them, because I could not afford to buy a new
HD.
NaMcO for sending 2x16mb simms and a 6GB HD when my old HD gave up on me
MaxMax1, Nemesis1 & Sigurour H. Olaffsson for collectively sending me a p2-233
and mainboard and also a non-ps/2 keyboard adapter
Prophet of Retrogames for the Sidewinder Gamepad
Malcolm Laurie for the generous donation towards buying arcade boards and an
ATX case
Glenn Hagon for another 2x16mb simms
Mario Silva, Razoola & Pincushion Man for the cd's to help restore what I lost
And many other people that helped us getting some donations so we could buy boards
like Strahl:
Harald, Till O., Jason S., Kobayashi, Tormod, Estranged, Empyre, Mario Lowang...hope
I didn't forget anyone. ;)
If you would like to send a contribution to help with the development of raine,
maybe some old hardware or some money or anything else, please email us. How does
money help? Well, It can go towards upgrading my pc, which allows me to be more
ambitious in what I try to emulate (for example f3 system with more gfx features).
Or, it will go on my phone bills, which are caused by time online doing raine
related things. Or it can be used to buy new boards for the rom dumpers. We can't
offer much in return, but you can of course beta test new games in the emulator.
Thanks
