Demul WIP

多機種模擬器 Demul 的新進展，目前已將 Naomi 2 的 VF 4 光源模擬 及 前景物件自動透明 等bug修正完畢，實際效果相當不錯 !!

 

 

閒聊

之前弄的 PC-2號機 (771上775) ，利用這陣子比較有空仔細去找錯，發現問題應該是主機板BIOS的問題，不過不想再換板了，就這樣用吧...

昨天剛從Steam下了 Azure-Striker-Gunvolt 這款由3DS移植的類洛克人射擊動作遊戲，今天上午稍微體驗一下，嗯....個人感覺這是款不錯的遊戲，不過缺少洛克人系列那種洗鍊的成熟感，但整體上還是很不錯的。

早上有朋友寄mail，裡面提到SE的一款街機遊戲 Gunslinger Stratos Reloaded ，這款遊戲之前就提到會移植到PC，不過這不是重點，重點是好像有人正在搞.........，這款遊戲是由TTX3基板開發的，所以..........???

puNES v0.96 & HalfNES v0.60

FC模擬器 puNES & HalfNES 發布新版，puNES的作者近期很努力的改進模擬器的效能與相容性，HalfNES則是以Java語言開發的，2款模擬器雖不是頂尖的，但俗語說 "戲棚下站久了就是你的 "大概就是這樣吧...

HalfNES v0.60 :

Fixed Battletoads and Battletoads: Double Dragon freezes on certain levels

Reduced jerkiness of scrolling in 50 fps games (not eliminated entirely unless your monitor is also set to 50 FPS)

Improved performance a bit, there was some slow cheat engine code constantly running

**********************************************

puNES v0.96

fixed xBRZ in the D3D9 release.

Added the translated english version of "Lagrange Point" to the database.

with the code from tms5220.c, should be significantly more accurate
and allow the cores to be much more easily merged in the future. This
also allowed finally getting rid of the COEFF_ENERGY_SENTINEL hack in
tms5110r.inc [Lord Nightmare]

during frame inhibit to last an entire interpolation period rather
than one sample. Replaced the speech-is-synthesizing state machine
with the original patent TALK, TALKD and SPEN bits. Redid the
talk_status logic to use (TALKD || SPEN) as the real device does.

Yanese v0.81

FC模擬器 Yanese 發布新版，更新如下 :

Rom UI: There were various problems with ROM GUI and they have been fixed.

Window 1X: You can't use "Pixel Aspect Ratio" for this window size anymore. If you choose 1X from the menu or you resize the window that leaves it at this mode, "Dot by Dot" is automatically used.

MMC3: Added support for Rad Racer II. Beware that this game uses 4-screen mirroring and there are some roms that doesn't report it well. The ROM i found reporting it well was "Rad Racer 2 (U) [b1].nes". You should get this rom if you want to play this game.

VOLUME: It wasn't documented before, but you can use "+" and "-" keys to control emulator volume.

SCALE2X: At window 4X in Pixel Aspect Ratio mode the emu does a Sacale2x over Scale2x. In other words it does it twice which consumes a alot of CPU resource, if the emu starts sounding bad or it's slow you should considere running in "Dot by Bot" 4X.

Suspend More gone away: I have removed "Suspend Mode", so the emu will keep running if the window lost the focus, the best thing you can do is tu pause it.
