Answer on our W.I.P page :)

Nebula v1.91b released
 
Elsemi released yet another update to Nebula...

• Fixed kof99 (& some other games) sound 'clicks'.
• Due to a stupid bug, the new delta-t interpolator was not enabled in previous versions.
• Now Ninja Commando and Ninja Combat music sometimes works and sometimes doesn't :(
• 640x480 scanline modes are now centered.

The new version can be found on our downloads page.

Nebula v1.91a released
 
Elsemi released a small update to Nebula ( homepage ). Here's what's new in whats mainly a bugfix release...

• Fixed macro support, broken in previous version.
• Fixed a silly bug in default control & hotkeys.
• Fixed the size of 'NG-LO.ROM', it should be only 64k (65536 bytes, crc: e09e253c). It's the same as the old dump but with the last 64k chopped off.
• I forgot to mention an experimental new option in nebula's last release, it's the -blade15 option. It will generate a 15Khz signal (for arcade monitors) if you have the Trident Blade3D card. You will need the 'bladeio.vxd' file from the Blade15khz package http://www.beimborn.com/mame/dl/blade15_24.zip

The new version can be found on our downloads page.
