W.I.P updated
 
Head over to our WIP page for latest info on what we've been doing for the past couple of weeks.

Open.
 
There were a couple people in my circle of friends that seemed to like backstabbing so we used the insults to my wife on message boards to sniff them out. It was a case of throwing our hand (closing the site) and then watching the reaction. To cut the story short (and without getting into any details) the plan worked perfectly, CPS2shock is up and running again with a few small changes.
 
1) You can now reach us via www.cps2shock.com too.
2) Email address has changed (old one still works too).
3) #CPS2shock is moving off of EFnet onto NEWnet.
 
Everything is now back to normal, though I want to use this opportunity to ask if anyone can donate or allow us to borrow the following 2 games.
 
   NightWarriors: DarkStalkers Revenge (USA Blue)
   Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo (USA Blue)
 
If you can help us out here please visit our donations page for more information.

Closed.
 
While I can take abuse to my own name without problem now that some people are flaming my wife on message boards (RG current affairs) CPS2shock is now closed and won't be coming back here.
 
I want to thank all donators who made it possible to get as many games as possible done. Any donator who I still hold boards for will be contacted with arrangements for their return. Any donations left after (unlikely) will be donated equally between the USA terrorist victims and to help refugees in afghanistan.
 
XOR's I hold will be released but don't expect them anytime soon, I have now stopped looking at CPS2, devs who were hoping for information to help break the algo will be disappointed, but understand my family comes before emulation. There was enough information for devs to obtain the information themselves on CPS2shock so this isn't really a problem anyway.

Nebula v1.92 released
 
Elsemi released a new Nebula also, here's what's new.

• NEOGEO
  • Neogeo Raster effects added. Note rasters are disabled by default in NEBULA.INI.
  • Adjusted (again) the Z80 sound timing.
  • Added fatfury2 protection (thanks Mr K).
• CPS-2
  • Fixed BlackHeart's stage of MSH missing rowscroll in the background.
  • Better sprite timing/buffering that solves some desync (ssf2 portraits, ecofght, sfa3).
  • Fixed CPS2 eeprom problems that caused problems in some games (csclub, ssf2t).
  • Fixed Super Hyper turbo mode in SSF2T, I left the CPS2 CPU clock running at 20Mhz.
• CPS-1
  • Fixed Mercs graphics.
• GENERAL
  • Improved the cheat engine with conditional cheats, indirect addressing (for neogeo), etc. Check the CHEATS.TXT file for info.
  • Added force feedback support. Some fighting games allow detecting the hits, so nebula will use force feedback to make you "FEEL" the hits. In the CONFIG dir are 2 .ffe files with the data that can be edited with Microsoft FEdit to make your own force macros.

The new version can be found on our downloads page. ____________________________________
I have updated CPS2mame (now v2.550) to include the new releases. It's available along with a new version of Elsemi's Jukebox (1.61) and updated Nebula and LogiqX verify DAT's on our downloads page.
