Hi,
Due to the elections here today I had a whole day free so I decided to finish up some of the features and fixes and do a release. Here is list of the new things:
Version 0.3 -----------
* Preliminary SVP emulation added. Thanks to notaz and TascoDeluxe. Although now Virtua Racer is playable but the DAC won't run(strange). * SoundBufferSize option added to ini file. Default value is 7 because that worked best on my PC. If sound is skipping try playing with different values. * DirectInput support * 6-button pad, Teamplayer, 4-way play, lightgun, sega mouse, J-Cart support (all preliminary) * Sonic 3D bonus stage fixed(got broken in previous version) * Captain planet screen fixed * Further FM emulator improvements. Sound should be a bit more accurate. For an example see Sonic 3 Chaos emerald stages as he picks the balls. It sounds more close to Kega now than previously. * FM timers fixed in FM emulator. This fixes sound in some games. Thanks to Eke. * Single line glitches in many games fixed (Road rash 1, 2 etc ...) * Mouse capture/release using F12. This is used for Menacer Lightgun and Sega Mouse. * Improved syncronization between 68k and Z80. Many more games now work (Super kick off etc...). * Drag and drop file support. * Added joypad support. Since I don't have any gamepads I can not tell if it will work. It is just based on estimation. * Fixed Z80 interrupt timing(again). This fixes slow or missing music from some games. You can download the emulator,optimized for your CPU, from:
Pentium 4 --- http://hyperupload.com/download/0283c1b018/Regen_p4.zip.html AthlonXP --- http://hyperupload.com/download/02fdf9d345/Regen_athlon.zip.html Pentium 3 --- http://hyperupload.com/download/02da11dc18/Regen_p3.zip.html i686(MMX) --- http://hyperupload.com/download/02837e0850/Regen_i686.zip.html
I have also tried to parallelize(multithread) the Pentium 4 version so it can take advantage of multicore processors and hyperthreading and run faster. But since I don't have such a processor so I cannot tell if it REALLY is faster. So if you have multicore processor then tell me how it goes.
Stay safe and enjoy,
AamirM
