Nebula v2.15a released
 
Elsemi has released a new bug fixed Nebula...

• PGM:
  • Fixed KOV missing platform and bridges in some stages.
  • Some rom renamings. To match mame names.
        sango1 -> kov
        sango1_5 -> kov115
        sango1_9 -> kovplus
        orlegend -> orlegend (the same)
        orleg112 -> orlegnde
        orleg12e -> orlegndc
  • Fixed china and taiwan regions swapped in KOV.
• NEOGEO:
  • Fixed savage reign V2 rom CRC.
  • Added Sengoku3 and Zupapa neogeo drivers.
• GENERAL:
  • PGM resolution is very wide, so if it's cut in the screen, play a bit with stretch options till you can get it fitting.

The new version can be found on our downloads page.

Nebula v2.15 released
 
Elsemi has released a new Nebula adding new PGM games, here's what's new...

• PGM:
  • Added Knights of Valour and Knights of Valour Plus (see KOVROMS.TXT for the correct roms CRC and sizes). Special thanks to BillyJr for his help to get this game running.
  • Added Sound emulation. Well, it's not complete emulation, but it's enough go get sounds working. Only SFX works and some sounds may be wrong.
  • Added region switch to orlegend and kov.
  • Fixed orlegend crashes.
  • NOTE: PGM games have a very wide resolution so double size modes (scanlines and most image enhancement modes) require resolutions higher than 800x600 to work properly with no stretch.
• GENERAL:
  • Fixed netplay crashing with Konami and PGM games.

The new version can be found on our downloads page.

Nebula v2.14b released
 
Yet more Nebula, here's what's new...

• CPS1:
  • Fixed wrong layer offsets in sf2yyc and kouryu that appeared due to the new timing.
  • Fixed Quiz and Dragons USA gfx problems.
  • Fixed sound problems in ADPCM audio (oops, my fault, I left some test code inside).
• GENERAL:
  • Fixed Nebula hanging in a window when exiting a game in the classic GUI.
  • Fixed the Video menu crash if there are no transparency tables in the CONFIG folder.

The new version can be found on our downloads page.

Nebula v2.14a released
 
Elsemi has released a new Nebula.. Here's what's new...
 
v2.14a

• CPS1:
  • Fixed loops in some drivers (cworld2j, qad and qtono2) that were causing the rom scanning crash.

v2.14

• CPS1:
  • Fixed high music speed in sf2 and captcomm.
  • Added the missing CPS1 drivers (thanks mike_haggar).
• PGM:
  • Fixed the memory corruption bug in orlegend.
  • Fixed zooming (it was reversed).
  • Fixed screen cut with some blitters.
• CPS2:
  • Re-adjusted timing, some games are smoother (ssf2t).
• GENERAL:
  • Added Force feedback support, using tables. I've included 2 sampe tables (xmvsf.ht2 and mvsc.ht2). Read the comments in them to know how to make your own tables. To make .FFe files you'll need MS force editor that comes with directx sdk. It hasn't been too much tested so there might be bugs, let me know if you found any and/or if you make a force table.
  • Added a control layout load/save feature to save your favourite layouts (as the save/load default layout never worked corectly). I've added some layouts for keyboard, 6 button pads and hotrod (thanks Crashtest).
  • Fixed errors when changing DSP plugins.
  • Fixed a small bug in the winamp wrapper plugin. Now more winamp DSP plugins work (like DFX 6.0, RTEQ, Pacemaker) Added an HyperBass DSP plugin (just in case you want to break your subwoffer).
  • Fixed keep aspect gfx option. To get a clean scanlines image I recommend using 800x600 with no stretch.
  • Added 3 new gfx blitters. Bilinear interpolators, that override the older Full and light interpolation ones. The effect is the same but they are twice faster.

The new version can be found on our downloads page.

Nebula v2.13a released
 
Elsemi has released a new Nebula.. Here's what's new...

• PGM:
  • Fixed crashing after a few minutes playing.
• NEOGEO:
  • Fixed Spinmasters gfx on bottom lines (raster bug).
• CPS2:
  • Improved CPU timing, makes SSF2T/SSF2X smoother.
  • Fixed SSF2X driver (no more gfx or sound problems).
• CPS1:
  • Added SF2 KouRyu driver.
• GENERAL:
  • Added SuperScale blitter (similar to a *Scale blitter of other CPS2 emu :) ). It looks great and it's very fast (if not the fastest) image enhancement mode. Full source included. The best blitter in nebula without any doubt.
  • Added auto-transparencies. It will make flickering objects and meshes become transparent without blur. The 50% frame blend blitter is no longer needed. Unlike sprite transparencies, this will cause a performance hit, so better don't enable it if you have a slow computer.
  • Fixed full interpolation mode.

The new version can be found on our downloads page.

The FinalBurn Alpha dispute has been resolved which is good news... Downloads are now available again.

I've removed FinalBurn Alpha binaries from CPS2shock at the request of the FinalBurn Alpha Team. Please visit the FinalBurn Alpha homepage for more information.

FinalBurn v0.517 released
 
Dayvee has released a new version of FinalBurn...
 
v0.517

• In the last version one of the maths chip changes brought back an old bug with the After Burner II landing on Stage 5, but I've fixed this now so After Burner II and Thunder Blade play fine.

v0.516

• Doh - was missing two Cpu Y program roms. G-Loc runs a tiny bit better now (still no tilt or line sprites though of course).
• Fixed address range on maths chip (Thunderblade random collisions) Many thanks to Olivier for the info.

The new version can be found on our downloads page.

Nebula v2.13 released
 
Elsemi has released a new Nebula.. Here's what's new...

• PGM:
  • Optimized sprite drawing (twice as fast in some parts).
  • Fixed sprite shrinking.
  • Added sprite zooming.
  • Added linescroll (orlegend stage 4 and 6).
  • Fixed some missing sprites (clipping problems).
  • Main CPU is running at the correct speed now.
• NEOGEO:
  • Improved raster effect emulation. Most games are correct now and others have been greatly improved.
• CPS2:
  • Added latest CPS2Shock releases.
  • Fixed wrong layer prios in nwarr character select.
• KONAMI & CPS1:
  • Fixed music speed that was wrong in some games.
• GENERAL:
  • Added DSP plugins support (including a DSP wrapper for winamp plugins. It's still beta so be careful, and don't change the plugin while a game is running). 'plugin.h' file has been update with the DSP plugin interface.
  • Force feedback support is disabled as I'm improving it.

The new version can be found on our downloads page.

Kawaks v1.43 released
 
It's been a while but Kawaks has finally been updated with some nice new additions. Here's what's new...

• New drivers:
  • Night Warriors (USA 950406)
  • Vampire Hunter (Japan 950316)
  • Vampire Hunter (Japan 950302)
  • Dungeons & Dragons (Hispanic 940125)
  • Bang Bead
• New "KScale" blitter. This is a new edge enhancement blitter with zero blur. It's also insanely fast compared to the traditional 2xSai/Super2xSai/SuperEagle. Comes in 4 variations: Plain, and 25%/50%/75% Scanlines. I personnally feel KScale+75%Scanlines is the best blitter in Kawaks, try it :) (MMX only).
• Shiny new "Smart Interframe blending" mode (MMX and non MMX versions). This new blending mode replaces all flickers (SamSho 4 life bars, KoF shadows, etc ...) by transparencies while the rest of the picture retains all its sharpness.
• Made it so that interframeblending occurs before the video processing stage (speed boost).
• New kb shortcut : Alt+B toggles between Interblending modes.
• New sound option : Low pass filter.
• Fixed ShumaGorath's Chaos dimension in Marvel Super Heroes.
• Rewrote Kaillera support. Now, emu will accept to run if you don't have Kailleraclient.dll, and noone should see Kaillera errors on startup anymore.
• Sound logging option now saves a WAV, not a RAW.
• Ctrl Numpad + and Ctrl Numpad - now control volume.
• Fixed Cheater support.
• Changed Batcir & Csclub to suit latest CPS2 conventions.
• Changed driver for NeoPong to use NeoPong 1.1 roms instead.
