Emulação & Cia

Essa é a versão 0.5 de um grande projeto na emulação de Mega Drive. O autor do emulador lança constantemente versões novas de seu programa, ou seja, o projeto está a todo vapor e pode-se contar com uma lista enorme de melhorias sendo feitas a cada nova versão. Vale lembrar que esse é um dos únicos emuladores de Mega Drive que conseguem emular o chip SVP (Usado no game Virtua Racing).

Nossa equipe testou o emulador com os Jogos Lion King II e Sonic and Knuckles & Sonic 2 e os resultados foram satisfatórios em ambos os games. Simplesmente imperdível. Faça hoje mesmo a atualização para a versão mais recente desse emulador.

Notas da versão (em inglês):

• DMA timings implemented. This fixes the follwing:
  • Single line at bottom in Virtua Racing.
  • DAC in Virtua Racing now runs correctly.
  • Legends of Galahad bottom screen.
  • Formula 1 and Kawasaki Challenge bottom screen.
  • Insector X intro being too fast.
  • Many others
• Autofix checksum option added. Note that fixing checksum might break some games.
• Improved YM2612 emulation again.
• Serial EEPROM emulation added. Huge thanks to Eke for his very good documentation on this.
• Added Hex code and PAR(Pro Action Replay) cheat code support to cheat engine. All codes working in Kega should work.
• Fixed the following bugs(taken directly from the Regen topic in ZSNES forums, thanks to King of Chaos):
  • Clicking Disable Sound without game loaded can cause the emulator to crash.
  • The setting for disabling sound (and other settings) isn't saved sometimes.
  • Editing the Disable Sound setting in the INI doesn't disable the sound, trying to disable it crashes the emulator.
  • Clear History sometimes doesn't work, unless you click it several times.
  • Clicking on an empty history slot will crash the emulator.
  • ROMs bigger than the 4MB Genesis limit (e.g Super Street Fighter II) causes the emulator to crash.
  • No selection for Gamepad under Use in the controller configuration.
  • When you change games, you can't load in a new cheat file for the new game.
  • When you "power off" the emulator, you can still activate cheats, no "No game loaded" dialog.
  • No checkboxes for the selected Sound Rate, so you don't know which one you're using.
  • System > Country > Auto Detect does not have a check by it when selected.
• Some unlicensed game support. The following unlicensed games are supported right now more will be added later, huge thanks to Haze(David Haywood):
  • Lion King II
  • Elf Wor
  • Mahjong Lover

Emulation of system lock-up on illegal address access. Now Sonic Crackers hangs just like in reality.
