Ootake v2.13

Ootake v2.13 is released.Ootake is a PC Engine emulator for Windows. Ootake is the most frequently updated PC Engine emulator available for windows, and Ootake is also one of the more complete. Also, Ootake is FREE unlike Magic Engine.

Ootake v2.13 changelog:
- The drawing processing part was sped up. I think that processing lightened in some measure in a not fast personal computer environment.
- "Save to [screenshot] Folder" was added to "File->Setting of Screenshot" menu. When this is selected (default), the screenshot is preserved without putting out the save dialog.
- "Size Non-Stretched (x1)" was added to "File->Setting of Screenshot" menu.Use it if you want to preserve non-stretch image.
- The setting of the drawing effect was added to "File->Setting of Screenshot" menu. When the screenshot is preserved, it is possible to preserve it by a drawing effect different while playing.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.
+ The execution file for "Windows 98/Me" was opened to the public. The operation test is not done. Please see "Readme98.txt" in the ZIP file about details and notes, etc.

IPU1chain is now a function rather then a define.
r1329
Revised Ipu1Chain, and tweaked Ipu1Dma.

r1331

EmuCR:PS2 emulatorPCSX2 official Beta 1329 is released.This is the Pcsx2 official beta and beta plugins.PCSX2 is a PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems.

PCSX2 official Beta 1329 Changelog:
- Microvu added as an additional cpu option. To use it, enable both the new options in the cpu tab. Expect problems.
- Quite some work on vif, gif and path 3. Quite a few of the games that had problems with 1190 due to this should now work.
- Increased the EErec's stack memory from 64k to 128k, since there's no reason to be frugal there anymore
- Improved the cpu speed/ghz detection. It should be a bit more accurate, and is faster (pcsx2 startup times are near instantaneous now)
- Some emitter changes
- Some general cleanups to vtlb's memory protection and recompiled block
integrity checking systems.
- Usual code cleanups and optimizations

Known issues:
Front mission 4 hangs
Ar tonelico 1 hangs
Many Gust games show black screen (ar tonelico 2, atelier iris 3...). To solve, press F1 when that happens (yeah, random... but hey it kinda works)

DeSmuME 0.9.2 Plus Gocha r2301

EmuCR:DeSmuMEDeSmuME 0.9.2 Plus Gocha r2301 is released.DeSmuME 0.9.2 Plus Gocha is a UNOFFICIAL DeSmuME ReRecording Build.DeSmuME ReRecording is the re-recording branch of DeSmuME 0.9.2.This is the development project for this branch of DeSmuME. Its primary function is to expand features related to the creation of Tool-Asssisted movies.

These binaries are built from the official svn.
Hopefully it has the same sync with desmume-rr-0.9.2 (but I'm not sure).
At least, they can play the OoE TAS WIP in TASvideos forum correctly.

It seems that the new savedata system (or something like that) broke the sync-compatibility.
"0.9.2plus-gocha" version is made from svn updates which doesn't break compatibility (that's just a guess though).
If it has different timings from rr-0.9.2 after all, don't curse me, please.

Glitch64 SVN r25

Glitch64 SVN r25 is released.GlideHQ is a realtime texture enhancer library with hi-resolution texture pack support for Glide64.Glitch64 is the recommended Glide3x wrapper for Glide64, the Glide video plugin for N64 emulators. It currently supports S3TC texture compression, anisotropic filtering, widescreen resolutions and simulates almost all the Glide3x hardware capabilities used by the plugin, included texture buffer capability (needed for render to texture). It is coded using the OpenGL API and uses GLSL shaders.

Traditional and non-traditional techniques have been used to achieve speed and high image quality even on a 9 year old 3Dfx Voodoo2. Although the 3Dfx Glide3x texture format naming conventions are used, the library can be expanded for generic use. The library supports 6 enhancers and 6 image filters. FXT1 and S3TC texture compression are supported.

Glitch64 SVN changelog:
r25
Added fullscreen support in SDL mode.
