Nebula v2.19 released
 
Elsemi has updated Nebula again...

• PGM:
  • Added Dragon World 2 (it has some gfx glitches due to some missing parts in the protection emulation).
  • Text layer should now be correctly aligned.
• CPS2:
  • Fixed ssf2xj timing that was still wrong.
• NEOGEO:
  • Added neogeo multislot MVS emulation.
     
    Usage: In the rom loading screen, you'll see a dropbox to select in which neogeo slot you want to load the game. Just select the slot and hit load, then after loading a game, you can go and load another in a different (or the same, overriding it) slot. Note that you'll need a lot of RAM to hold all games in memory at the same time. To switch from game to game, use the button mapped as Button 5 in the input options (default key 0) The current bios supports 4 game slots. The default bios config only allows to switch games after inserting a coin. To change it, press F2, go to "set the soft dips", then "setting the cabinet", and change "Game selection" to "Free".
     
    Using savestates with multislot games may have unpredictable results.
     
    ALWAYS LOAD IN THE 1ST SLOT FIRST.

Nebula v2.18b released
 
Elsemi has put yet another updated Nebula out there...

• CPS1:
  • Fixed slow music in some games (megaman, pang3).
• NEOGEO:
  • Fixed z80 timing, noticeable in long samples (Dandy J stage in wakuwak7).

Elsemi has also updated his great Jukebox music player to version 2.4. Both can be found on our downloads page.

Nebula v2.18a released
 
Elsemi has repacked the latest build of Nebula with the latest games relocked again. Personally I think this is a very wise and good decision. Here's what's new...

• NEOGEO:
  • Fixed mslug3nd driver crashing nebula.
  • Fixed kof99d driver. now it loads the decrypted C roms instead of the prototype roms.
• GENERAL:
  • I've had to change the locking policy again. I've been contacted about the legal problems that having those games enabled could have, so I had to definitely lock them again and they will remain locked till those games are 1 year old. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this have caused, and encourage all emulation sites that have the 2.18a package that overwrite it with this. I hope you understand that I don't like to be involved in legal problems and I don't like to see nebula discontinued.

There is a more recent version of Nebula (2.18a). As this allows playing of very very recent games (3 months old) I have decided not to host it here at CPS2shock. Nebula v2.18 will be the last version hosted here until the games are deemed old enough. If you want more recent versions you will need to get them direct from Nebulas homepage.

If you are a Nebula user you can download the updated CPS2.DAT from here. Simply place it in you 'romdata' directory overwriting the one already there.
 
No CPS2mame this time, I feel its best to wait until after the next mame release due to raster effects being added.
