XQEMU: Smashing Drive Ingame

XBOX模擬器 XQEMU 釋出了運行 Smashing Drive 的截圖，原文如下:

XQEMU: Smashing Drive Ingame

Okay, we're moving along here faster than I anticipated.  Just a few moments ago, I added a few texture related fixes to XQEMU, and now Smashing Drive goes ingame!  Although there isn't too much visually impressive in this game, it's proof that LLE is a feasible idea.

In my experience, Smashing Drive has always been the easiest Xbox game to emulate (the game is only 90mb, making it the smallest known commercial Xbox game that I know of!), so I'm not really too surprised it's working this well.  You're probably wondering why the colours are inverted, lack of colour keying and depth testing, etc.  The emu actually doesn't appear to implement any render states at all at the moment, and we're still working out how certain texture formats should be interpreted in OpenGL.  Other than that, everything runs with minimal issues, minus the random freeze likely caused by race conditions.

So, just wanted to give you all a quick update on XQEMU's progress as of late.  Thanks for reading!

Shogun.

DICE 0.9

DICE模擬的對象是早期不使用CPU與ROM的遊戲，不過在最近這幾版已加入部分需使用ROM的遊戲，更新如下:

DICE 0.9 has been released!

Three new games in this version:

Hi-Way (Atari, 1975)

Single-player driving game that to this day maintains a small (but loyal) fan base...

Features quite complex graphics for a discrete logic game due to the use of a 1024-bit shift register to store the location of the road, shifting in new values periodically to give the effect of motion (Unfortunately causing simulator performance to vary wildly based on how curvy the road currently is!)

Indy 4 (Atari, 1976)

First color monitor using game in DICE! (Now if only someone would dig up the schematics for Color Gotcha...)

Features fairly unique gameplay for its time due to the ability to perform a handbrake turn to quickly skid around corners. And surprisingly runs at fairly playable speeds despite the large amount of players and road graphics!

Steeplechase (Atari, 1975)

First six-player one-button horse racing game? Each player tries to jump the pickets to reach the finish line first, competing with each other as well as the meticulously-computer-controlled white horse who never misses a jump (but runs less quickly).

Also new in this release:

• Configurable video options (anti-aliasing, vsync, status bar visibility)
• Fixed crash on exit

Download Links

64-bit Windows version (Recommended, runs about 30% faster than the 32-bit version)

UME 0.153ex1

UME is the complete/combined version of the MAME / MESS project.

由Haze編譯的MAME模擬器 UME 發布新版，更新如下:

0.153ex1 is built from SVN revision 29720
UME 0.153ex1 Windows binaries – 32-bit, 64-bit and all tools

UME 0.153ex1 sources

Here is the 0.153 to 0.153ex1 SVN log

Points of Interest
MAME 0.153 was buggy, use of the brightness / gamma settings in the 32-bit builds would cause BG colour issues in anything using the ‘black_pen’ feature of MAME, most notably many 80s classics like Galaga.

There were other problems also affecting Namco titles like Galaga, Pole Position etc. – uninitialized variables causing anything with the Namco customs of the era to randomly boot into service mode, or display the gameplay upside down etc.

Another problem was causing MAME to crash if loading 0 byte files, many sample sets you find have 0 byte files for dummy samples (eg. Gorf) and while having these dummy files isn’t recommended it wasn’t ideal behaviour for MAME to simply crash when they were present.

I do not know if there will be an official 0.154 build following shortly to fix these issues, but they’ve all been fixed in the SVN at this point, so I’ve decided to put out this ex1 build of UME as a public service. It also includes the fixes to allow the SC4 fruit machines to pass their init once again after the 68681 refactoring.

I believe some issues from 0.153 still remain (cheat finding doesn’t work) but I felt it a good idea to get this out there before further instabilities are introduced.
There are a lot of other refactoring changes in this build, as well as Kale’s WIP on Model 2, so I can’t guarantee nothing else is broken, but I felt having builds where the classics were known to be in a semi-broken state was not a good idea.

Note, a number of changes in the changelog mention the new menu system, this was backed out shortly before this build as it isn’t yet stable.
