Kawaks v1.41 released
 
Kawaks has been updated adding starfield emulation and making romsets more mame compliant. Also fixed are a few other minor issues, here's the complete list.

• New drivers:
  • Marvel Vs. Capcom (USA 980123)
  • Marvel Vs. Capcom (Japan 980123)
  • Marvel Vs. Capcom (Japan 980112)
  • Marvel Vs. Capcom (Asia 980112)
  • Darkstalkers (Euro 940705)
• Changed kof2000, garou & kof99 to be MAME 57 compliant.
• Big optimisations to NeoGeo rendering.
• Added frame interpolation (flickering becomes transparencies). I recommend you use this only if you have a powerfull PC, also make sure AutoFrameskip is disabled.
• Added starfield emulation (affects Strider & Forgotten Worlds).
• Fixed a NeoGeo calendar bug. Date is correct now.
• Fixed Street Fighter II' - Champion Edition (Japan) (CPS1).
• Changed tracklists format for the better (more compact, and more flexible). The format it now the same as ElSemi's excellent JukeBox program. Also, tracklist is handled dynamically: no need to reload the game to reload the tracklist.
• Added the ability to cycle through sound codes for CPS1 and NeoGeo games. Use Numpad +/- (already worked on CPS2).
• Hopefully fixed sound issues in Kof99 thanks to Overlander.
• Fixed missing button 4 for CPS1 Quiz games.
• Hopefully fixed crashes if Kawaks is run from CD.
• Fixed bug causing (for example) Kof2000 chars to taunt at the end of a movie replay.
• Fixed tick mark errors in record input and bg color in menus.

Nebula v1.97 released
 
ElSemi has released a new Nebula which includes the ability to have transparent sprites. Here's what's new...

• NEOGEO:
  • Fixed SS3 protection. You must delete the Samsho3.dat file in the CONFIG folder.
• CPS1:
  • Fixed some sprite wraparound bugs that still remained.
• GENERAL:
  • Added sprite transparency using external tables. Read the Transparency.txt file to know more about them, and how to make your own tables. Some tables are included and more will come. If you want to share your tables, send them to me and I'll include them.
  • Added 50% Frame Blend (and +scanlines) gfx renderer that removes flickering sprites making them transparent.
  • Fixed movie recording.
  • Rewritten graphics core to use DDraw 3, that is faster in older video cards and will probably fix some hang bugs.
  • Added a configuration screen for nebula.ini options. Launch Nebulaconfig.exe or Nebula.exe -config.
  • Added autofire option for all buttons in all games.
  • Separated hotkey configuration for Neogeo and CPS.
