Raine v0.51.6

RaineRaine v0.51.6 is released.RAINE is an Emulator for Arcade games.Raine is a M68000 and M68020 arcade game emulator.Raine emulates some M68000 and M68020 arcade games and is mainly focused on Taito and Jaleco games hardware.It started as an experiment with the Rainbow Islands romset, dumped by Aracorn/Romlist. Raine can emulate many nice games now, and new games (previously unemulated) are appearing weekly.

Raine v0.51.6 Changelog:
* Loading a savegame with the gui now correctly sets the savegame slot, so
that using f2 to save after this saves to the correct slot.
* The font keeps a constant size in windows (previously in low resolutions
simply pressing esc on the main menu was resizing the font !).
* the ingame texts (hud) can be made optionally opaque from the gui

Glitch64 SVN r48

Glitch64 SVN r48 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.

NeoRaine v1.2.7

EmuCR:Neo Geo CD emulatorNeoRaine v1.2.7 is released. NeoRaine is a fast Neo Geo CD emulator. NeoRaine is a fast emulator for the old Neo Geo CD game console, based on neocdpsp.It does not try to emulate the raster effects. As a result, "Riding Hero" is unplayable because it simulates 3D effects using raster interrupts.All other Neo Geo CD games should work.Similar like what MESS is to MAME, NeoRaine shares code with the main project Raine and is developed alongside, so the source code is distributed together.

NeoRaine v1.2.7 changelog:
Small bug fixes and improvements, most notably a better sync with music thanks to a float fps now, and a fix for savegames which didn´t save correctly the fix area when it was uploaded from the prg ram.

r1723
Command line fixes ( Issue 331 ):
* I had incorrectly documented -usecd as -usecdvd (oops)
* Skipbios now defaults to OFF is was intended
r1724
Issue 331 - let's also fix the "double initialization" issue when booting cdvd plugin from the commandline.
r1725
wxgui:
* Improved thread safety of file logger (needs work yet)
* Debug builds automatically open the console log during the first time wizard.
* Added terminal logging to linux builds.
* Linux: Bugfixed plugin configuration dialogs being unable to receive input.

microVU/macroVU: When subtracting a reg by itself, its safer to just set the reg to 0, instead of actually doing the floating point subtraction.
This fixes the problems in FFX2 introduced in r1710.
Also thanks to rama who found out it was SUB that was breaking the game. (Saved me a lot of debugging to narrow down the problem ;p)

Shadow and his team are working day and night with pleasure on the emu, many coders have dedicated to the project. Because it's written in java many young devs find it interesting to learn how the emulator works.

r1163
Updated "2D Studio" to test different color types in vertex.
r1164
Fixed handling of alpha in GU_COLOR_5650 and GU_COLOR_5551. Tested on PSP with 2D Studio.
