No$psx v1.7



PS模擬器 no$psx 發布新版,更新內容如下:

26 Nov 2013 - no$psx v1.7
- gpu/detail: added dithering for tex-blended POLYs (unlike tex-blended RECTs)
- gpu/detail: added dithering for monochrome LINEs (unlike mono POLYs and RECTs)
- gpu/detail: faster gouraud rendering when dithering is off (no dummy dither)
- gpu/bugfix: swapped setmask/chkmask in cpu-to-vram transfer (fixes RC Revenge)
- gte/detail: supports 32bit rtps/rtpt overflows (fixes R4 Ridge Racer Type 4)
- dma: added delay before DMA1 IRQs (fixes DinoCrisis1+2,FearEffect,Xenogears)
- dma: pauses CPU during DMA (more accurate and releases cpu emulation load)
- dma: accepts non-standard control values (with warning) (instead of rejecting)
- mdec: low level IDCT emulation (slow, used only for nonstandard scaletable)
- mdec: accurate RLE emulation (with rounding, saturation, and quant disable)
- mdec: emulates status bit31 (data.out.fifo not empty) (for manual reading)
- dma/mdec: removed pusha/popa pairs (allows to modify mips intcount register)
- help: gpu: corrected dithering info (different cases for polys/lines/rects)
- help: add notes on CPU being stopped during DMA (and resumed between blocks)
- help: added info on the two DMA "start" flags (start/busy and start/trigger)
- help: added list of commonly used DMA control register values for DMA starting
- help: added basic info on DMA transfer timings and DRAM hyper page mode
- help: added info on DMA chopping mode (runs CPU during gaps in DMA transfer)
- help: mdec/y_to_mono: supports only max 9bit (bigger values aren't saturated)
- help: mdec/idct: added note that scaletable uses upper 13bit only (not 16bit)
- help: mdec/idct: low level idct formula (diagonally mirrored matrix multiply)
- help: mdec/rle: rle result is rounded up (plus 4 before div 8)
- help: mdec/rle: rle result is saturated to signed 11bit range
- help: mdec/rle: q_scale=0 forces n*2 instead of n*qt[k], or n*qt[k]*q_scale
- help: fast mdec decoder: simplified idct_core (flipped src/dst instead of x/y)
- help: fast mdec decoder: fixed "scalezag" pseudo code (divide entries by 8)
- help: added IC703 "SONY CXA1791N" pinouts (RF Amplifier on PU-18 boards)
- help: added notes on Garbage Area at Address 00000000h (for R-Types/FadeToB)
- debug: profiler supports dma transfer logging (shown as "DMAn.subfunctions")
- debug: iomap resolves timer clock-source, sync-mode, and some timer flags
- debug: tty irq-logging shows dma channel names(s) that have caused dma-irq3
- debug: tty gpu-command-logging (can log more than 1 frame, unlike vram viewer)
- screenshot: fixed num_colors entry in truecolor bmp header (1 SHL bpp AND 1FE)
- screenshot: fixed auto-generated screenshot filenames (.bmp instead .gif)
- bios: fixed messed-up stack in bios clone's do_exec (fixes developers demo)

SEGA Dreamcast 15th Happy Birthday !!

遙望15年前,5月11日看到 SEGA 在日經刊登了一則廣告--(セガは倒れたままなのか?)當時內心震驚到不可言表,但隔天的廣告則打上幾個大字--(逆襲へ、Dreamcast )。宣告 SEGA 的反擊正式展開!

當年,Dreamcast發售前先行出了一款內含(酷斯拉-怪獸大集合)怪獸育成對戰遊戲的VMS記憶卡,當時不小心就敗了下去(主機都還沒出,記憶卡就先買了),時過境遷,當時的全新包裝已被我弄得殘破不堪...



不過到目前仍是頭好壯壯,正常服役中。

Dreamcast在日本正式發售後,當時拜託旅行社的朋友趁著到日本出團的機會幫我帶回一台,入手後應小賣店老闆的要求帶過去給他看,當時老闆看完VF3的演示畫面後,竟要求我將DC讓給他,他想擺在店頭當展示機,當時無法拒絕老闆的請求(沒辦法,手邊的日文雜誌及一些台灣沒入的限量商品都是拜託他找的--欠人家的,總有一天要還)只能忍痛點頭...不過當時老闆答應只要太電欣榮代理的主機一進來就會幫我留一台。就這樣讓初版日規機離開了我的身邊.....(吐血中)。

2個星期後,再次詢問太電欣榮代理的情況,得到的回答竟是--因SEGA產能不足、目前幾乎拿不到主機!!手邊有記憶卡有遊戲卻沒主機可執行,挖哩冽是啥情況??一直等到12月底才正式拿到台灣機,不過一打開包裝立刻掉漆--數據機哪去了??(可惡的太電欣榮還我數據機!!)
目前這台主機運行狀況良好,沒壞過,趁著15周年的機會讓他出來曬曬太陽、見見世面。(拍得很差,請見諒)

主機盒裝(保存狀況還算不錯)



隨機附贈的記事本--(應該是太電附的)



會員卡--(sorry 編碼我塗掉了)



說明書--中英文版



VMS與震動包--(皆為初版)



光線槍--(死之館2同捆板)



DC初版手把



DC主機--正常服役中(忘了拍背面)



Dreamcast上值得細細品嘗的遊戲不少,沒玩過的朋友有機會可嘗試看看。

最後僅祝 Dreamcast 15歲生日快樂,並等待 SEGA 真正再起之日的來臨。

(哪天也讓初版的 SEGA Saturn 出來曬曬太陽)......

R-Zone Cart Dumping

R-Zone Headgear 01.JPG 

R-Zone ------是啥???  嗯.......就是一款掌上型遊樂器,1995年上市,價格異常便宜(約30美金),為啥說它,當然與模擬有關,因為它被dump了。

這款掌上型遊樂器看來還不錯,按鈕奇多(約14個),造型尚可,但最重要的遊戲............................不予置評!! (有興趣的找谷歌大神問去).

或許某天會在MESS上看到它的身影吧........

(謎之音) : 這篇到底想說啥???

Raine 0.63.3


Raine Logo



多機種模擬器 Raine 發布新版,三年多來未更新的DOS版也更新了,原文如下:

Ok, here is 0.63.3. The news for this time :
 - a new dos version ! The last one was some time 3 years ago, so it's quite an event... ! It lacks a lot of features from the latest windows or linux version, but it works. You can read about its limitations in this thread. If someone is really serious about using it though, it would really badly need some update at the code level, at least adding a few buttons to make some of the new features usable, but I won't do it because I can't even reasonably use this version now... !
 - The ability to play some external music file instead of a normal music command. For now it's limited only to the neogeo and to the gunbird driver. When you have loaded a game which supports this, the option "sound commands" becomes available in the "sound options" menu. From there you can test the musics, until you find the one you want to replace. If you don't select any audio file to replace it, it will just be intercepted and replaced by silence. Associations made this way are saved automatically in games.cfg. Formats supported include wav, mp3, ogg, flac, and probably all the old mod formats in existence if you have such files (it's from modplug...). A word of warning : of course I was unable to test all the neogeo games, it would require too much time. The bad news about this is that it can't be done with a magical function which would adapt to all the drivers out there, it must be adapted to each driver. Luckily most of the neogeo games seem to use the same rules for the music so it should work for a lot of games, maybe all of them if I am lucky, report any problem if you have some !

Except that, added the "keep ratio" option to the video renderer options, it's mainly for those with a crt screen and a mode with a broken aspect ratio and who know what they are doing. Some bugs in pirates, operation bear, final blow and pulirula. A lot of small bug fixes, look in the git log if you are curious. Oh yes, also the console crashed very easily in windows, but I couldn't know about this since I almost never use windows. Since I know some people used it, it's a wonder nobody took the time to report this in all this time, but anyway, it's fixed too now, thanks mer-curious... !
A small word about sdl2 : making raine compatible with it would require too much work for now, so it will have to wait.
And it will probably be the last version before quite some time, because I'll be probably busy elsewhere soon...
