ScummVM v0.13.1 GC Released |
posted by brakken
04-28-2009 |
 |
ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!
Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins; Westwood Studios' The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.
What's New?

Dolphin SVN R5 Source Released |
posted by brakken
07-14-2008 |
|
Ector and F|RES have recently released the source code to their Nintendo Gamecube emulator Dolphin. The source comes in both 32 and 64bit versions. A most noteworthy change is preliminary Nintendo Wii support.
Quote:
We hereby release the source code of Dolphin and most of its plugins under the GPL 2.0.
You can check out the code using Subversion (we recommend TortoiseSVN), from our new repository at Google Code. .
A few new features are included:
* New OpenGL graphics plugin by zerofrog
* Basic patch/cheat system (no search yet), support for decrypted Action Replay codes
* Much faster JIT in 32-bit, slightly faster in 64-bit
* Basic Wii support (plays a couple of intro movies, starts zelda, no working wiimote)
* Some more I forgot about right now, see them as bonuses..
With the new gfx plugin, the code mostly builds and even runs a bit on Linux, but games don't work yet. There's now a cross platform wxWidgets GUI.
We'll release some new official builds soon, too.
Compatibility has not increased since the last release, but speed has in many cases.
Dolphin is currently not in a super polished state, but we hope that the community can help fix that, and maybe in the long run also add more features and compatibility. If anyone has a new feature or fix and wants SVN write access, just contact us and we'll add you to the project. Or you could just fork the whole thing, but that would probably be annoying
Have fun,
/ ector & F|RES

Genesis Plus! v12-28-2007 Released |
posted by brakken
12-28-2007 |
|
Eke-Eke has released a major update to our SkeenDev Sega Genesis emulator for the Nintendo Wii/GameCube. New features include GX code speedup, video mode and CPU options.
What's New?
[Genesis]- many sourcecode cleanup and optimization
- completely rewrote EEPROM emulation: now support all known EEPROM types (24C01-24C65) and mappers (Sega, Acclaim, EA, Codemasters) used in a few games (now use internal game database) as external RAM. This should at least fix save support in the following games:
- NBA Jam (alternate Acclaim mapper)
- College Slam, Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball (24C65 type)
- NHLPA Hockey 93, Rings of Power (EA mapper)
- Micro Machines serie, Brian Lara Cricket 96/Shane Warne Cricket (Codemasters mapper)
- external RAM is now initialized to 0xFF by default: fix Micromachines 2, Dino Dini Soccer
- fixed SRAM 16-bits memory handlers: fix some Sega Sports and EA Sports games (NFL95, NBA Action 95, NHL97, NHL98,…)
- modified WRITE_xxx & READ_xxx macros for better portability and faster memory access on BIG ENDIAN platform
- completely rewrote BIG ENDIAN support in render.c and vdp.c: rendering should be a little faster
- rewrote ROM bankswitch emulation (Super Street Fighter II): ROM access are faster, using memory pointers instead of reading ROM copy from ARAM
- fixed leftmost Window/PlaneA column render and implemented Window bug (as described by Charles Mc Donald)
- improved “Sprite Limit” and “Sprite Collision” detection accuracy
- modified RGB565 Color Palette to use the full available color range (0-31;0-63)
- implemented “cycle accurate” HV Interrupt timings: fix Sesame’s Street Counting Cafe, Legend of Galahad (intro)
- improved VDP access timings accuracy (added FIFO emulation): fix Double Clutch
- improved DMA timings accuracy: fix Winter Olympics (E), Arch Rivals and probably more
- fixed HCounter again: Road Rash serie (I,II,III) don’t need timing hacks anymore
- fixed VCounter in Interlaced 2 mode: fix Combat Cars “VS-Mode”
- improved Interlaced 2 mode (double resolution) rendering: Sonic 2, Combat Cars (”VS-Modes”) look far better
- added TMSS BIOS support (optional)
- rewrote part of the YM2162 MAME’s core: fixed internal FM timers handling, removed non-YM2612 emulation code and unused multiple cpu support
- implemented “cycle accurate” FM timers & sound samples rendering
- improved Z80 Interrupt timing accuracy: fix Sonic 3 music slowdowns
- updated Z80 & 68000 cores to last MAME versions
- improved Soft Reset emulation: X-Men 2 and Eternal Champions (random character selection) now work more like on real hardware
- added full overscan emulation (vertical & horizontal borders) for “pixel perfect” aspect ratio (tested against a real genesis)
[NGC]- fixed rom checksum calculation (only used for rom information)
- some modifications in GX rendering code
- added support for original Genesis/Megadrive NTSC & PAL video modes: this makes games looking exactly as on original hardware (progressive rendering with reduced resolution)
- added “Aspect” option to switch between ORIGINAL (aspect ratio is fixed and borders are emulated) and MANUAL SET (horizontal and vertical scaling can be manually configured, borders are not emulated)
- added “Overscan” option to disable the original borders color and always use black borders (only used when ORIGINAL Aspect mode is enabled)
- added support for up to 720 pixels horizontal resolution (needed for proper aspect ratio emulation)
- added “TV Mode” option to enable automatic switching to PAL(50Hz) TV mode when the Genesis runs in PAL mode
- added “Xshift” & “Yshift” settings to let you adjust display area position while keeping the original aspect ratio
- added option to disable/enable SSG-EG support in FM cores: this special mode is indeed not properly emulated and some games might sound wrong when enabled
- removed “CPU Type” option, you can also now force Region (JAP/EUR/USA) without reseting the game, choose USA or JAP for 60hz, EUR for 50hz, this can be useful to bypass game region protection at startup.
