FinalBurn v0.515 released
 
Dayvee has released a new version of FinalBurn...

• Added a bit of road emulation to Thunderblade, but it's unfinished and doesn't work in After Burner yet.
• Added Royal Ascot 2 driver. Note it doesn't get past the mem test, it's not really a playable game anyway (gambling game).
• Switched DDSOM to European (parent) set
• Fixed road palette on Out Run (e.g. stage 2B)
• Simplified After Burner hardware cpu emulation slightly.

The new version can be found on our downloads page.

FinalBurn v0.514 released
 
Dayvee has released a new version of FinalBurn which addresses the sega side of things. Here's what's new...

• Improved Galaxy Force hardware cpu emulation slightly.
• Power Drift sprites glitches reduced.
• Added a general cpu 'sleep' algorithm which increases the frame rate of Rail Chase a little bit.
• Strike Fighter cockpit has disappeared (?!) no idea why.
• Changed keyboard support so it doesn't require DirectX 5 to run, only normal function calls. This means Final Burn should now run on just about any version of DirectX and so should work on Windows NT too.
   
  NOTE: This means that keyboard input codes have changed so if you have used games in Final Burn before you will have them configured for old key codes. To fix this either delete the config files in the 'cfg' sub-directory.
   
  Or load your game, click Input, and click Defaults.
