Přístupy od 27.3.1999

Index novinek: 4.2.1998-19.2.1997

   - Too many Z80 bug fixes to describe them all.
   - Now BRMSX is the first (and only) MSX emulator to pass
     in all ZEXALL tests. This means perfect emulation for
     all documented opcodes, including perfect flag
     affection for all documented and undocumented flags.
   - Most of the undocumented opcodes are also emulated.
   - Disk emulation through .DSK files.
   - Removed some bugs on the GUI to make it more stable
     under DOS.
   - Removed a bug in PSG emulation. Now there are no more
     noise in "Konami's Ping Pong" (it can even be played
     in multiplayer mode).
   - Improved video cache for SCREEN 1 (but it is not fully
     implemented yet).
   - New keyboard driver. Now you can use both cursor sets
     (inside and outside numeric keypad). Missing keys were
     also added: LGRA (GRAPH), RGRA (CODE), STOP, SELECT.
   - BRMSX can now read BASIC cartridges.
   - Improved save/load state (but it's not 100% stable
     yet).
   

• nove url je http://www.jaap.cz/~krajicek/emul/
• stranka je mirrorovana na https://emulators.cz/
• novy design - domnivam se, ze frejmy zlepsi orientaci na strance
• novy obsah - viz. posledni polozka v levem menu. Download stranka jiz tak jako tak byla neaktualni, takze jsem ji zrusil zcela a odkazy na soubory se budou objevovat postupne, vzdy na to upozornim zde. Priklad toho, jak bych si asi predstavoval ze to tu bude vypadat, si lze prohlednout v sekci Konzole, Sega Master System.
• cestina. Dostal jsem nekolik mailu, proc pisu nekdy s diakritikou CP1250, a nekdy uplne bez diakritiky. Je to jednoduche. Jsem hrozne linej, a hlavne zvyklej psat bez diakritiky. Nicmene na webu to opravdu vypada hrozne, takze 'ohackuju' pokud pozno vsechny permanentni prispevky, a budu se snazit i do newsu psat cesky. No, i kdyz jak to tu po sobe ctu, tentokrat to nevyslo... :-)

Z26 0.92
Atari 2600 emulator, verze 0.92. What's new:

- PC joystick support. If you have a PC
  joystick, z26 will use it to emulate the Atari
  joystick. Calibration is not required. Just
  make sure the PC joystick is centered when you start the emulator. This code is somewhat
  experimental. Let me know if you have any problems. Please see the readme.txt for more
  information.

ZSNES 0.305
Nová verze 3.005, jednoho z nejlepších SNES emulátorů. What's new:

         work
       - Forgot to clear NMI wait substitute variables when another game
         is loaded from the GUI
       - Changed sound processing engine back to v0.297.  If for any reason
         you want to go back to v0.300 sound engine, use -x as a command line
       - Added Cursor Mode Button to the Super Scope.  Never thought it was
         necessary until recently.  Use the =/+ key.

v0.300b - Fixed a bug that causes sidewinder support to crash.

Smutna zprava na uvod
Simplenet.net, hostitel mnoha emulatorovych stranek, prikrocil necekane k zakazu ulozeni ROM imagi v jejich diskovem prostoru. Oficialni duvod jsem nikde neobjevil, ale predpokladam ze patrne nevydrzeli natlak hernich firem, zejmena Nintenda... :-(

Massage 0.8
Massage 0.8 - na novou verzi nejlepsiho emulatoru SMS/GG se sice cekalo nekolik mesicu, ale stoji za to - predevsim je nyni freeware. What's new:

* Bug fix to make Rainbow Islands playable.
* Game Gear stereo using the OPL 3 chip (in SB Pro (new version) and above).
  Use /nostereo from the command line if you are having problems.
  USE /nostereo OPTION IF MASSAGE CANNOT DETECT YOUR SOUNDCARD.
* Player 2 can be controlled by keys 1 - Up, Q - Down, W - Left, E - Right,
  2 - "Button 1" and 3 - "Button 2".  This is intended for using redefinable
  joysticks which plug into the keyboard socket.
* Option to set target speed, using /speed from the command line.
* Obvious corruption fixed in Astro Warrior, Popeye, Surf Ninjas,
  GP Rider, MahjongG.
* Less obvious corruption fixed in Ax Battler (on the bridge) and the
  Sega TM bits (in Space Harrier.GG and Aerial Assault.GG etc.)
* Pop Breaker can now be played (but only in Japanese mode).
* Certain parts of the screen are pre-calculated which causes the speed to
  be reported at a higher value, however it varies slightly.

Ulozte si svou hru v MAME
John Zissopoulos zacal releasovat svou vlastni verzi MAME (momentalne ve verzi 0.2), do ktere pridal moznost capture hry jako AVI, nebo jako animovany gif. Je to cool!

JAS is finally out!
Konecne vysel novy multiarcade emulator JAS (JROK's Arcade Simulator), ve verzi 1.0. Podporuje: Dig Dug 2, Galaga 3, Gaplus, Mappy, Sky Kid, a Super Pacman. No, zatim nic moc, ze, ale protoze JROK je muj oblibeny programator (zejmena diky skvele konverzi Qixe na PC), tak doufam se JAS brzy stane vaznym konkurentem MAME.

RAGE 0.7
RAGE (Real Arcade Game Emulator) se objevilo ve verzi 0.7 (druhy release behem tydne!), nova verze predevsim podporuje dve nove hry - Dragon Breed a Hammering Harry.

New Space Invaders Emulator

NoFrendo 0.54
Nova verze DOS emulatoru NESe. What's new:

       - Nofrendo.ini configuration file.  Read it, live it, love it.
       - Automatic frameskipping; "-frameskip AUTO" or use the .ini.
         (courtesy I.A.)
       - ROM / save directories configurable in the .ini.  This is for
         all you with CD-ROMs.
       - FPS display, enable it with the spacebar.
       - Bug in 6502 core fixed - Dragon Warrior 2, Milon's Secret
         Castle, Karate Kid, etc. all work now.  Sadly, DW1 doesn't.
       - Mapper 19 (Splatterhouse) really works this time.
       - Mike Tyson's Punch-Out looks much better thanks to Jim Geffre.
       - NES timing is now very near perfect.  Galaxian, Castlevania,
         Kung Fu, Ice Hockey, etc. all run correctly now.
       - Speed gain due to complete code overhaul and much caffeine.
       - Made a spectacular simplification in the graphics code.  This
         doesn't do much for you, but it makes me feel like a genius.
       - Sprite routines sped up.
       - Graphics glitch fixed - now Wizards and Warriors/ Battletoads
         graphics display correctly (not the split screen, though).
       - Got rid of useless 640x480 mode.  F6 now sets 320x240 ModeX.
       - Sound code revamped.  Sound works in Galaxian, Bubble Bobble.
       - Volume decay added to sound code (coin sounds in SMB).
       - Square wave fixed (Zelda, etc.), courtesy of me.
       - Soundcard can now be specified on the command-line (see .ini).
       - Fixed a big bug in the volume control (i.e. it didn't work).
       - New "perfect" palette.  If you don't like it, you're wrong.
       - Command-line option parsing bug fixed.
       - "verbose" command-line option removed, as it was dumb.
       - Exit fade out removed.  Cool the first time, not the 8074th.
