Ok, nothing major this time, release mainly due because of an update for the appimage files for non arch linux distributions ! So here are the changes anyway (mostly in chronological order): - lots of script updates from ffman1985, including sf2 serie (sf2, sf2hf, sf2ce, ssf2 and ssf2t, hsf2), the sfa serie (sfa, sfa3, sfz2a1, sfz3jr2, sfz2alj), and the marvel serie (mvsc, mshvsf, xmvsf) ! Impressive work... ! - Rom region selection in the gui for sf2hf, sf2, sf2ce, sfa, xmcota, mshvsf - some big fixes in the converter I used to convert the cheats from mame, which allowed to fix quite a lot of things, I didn't fix everything because there was no report at all about that, and it's a long process. I just fixed the biggest games. - Fixed black screen for shaders when using scanline-3x during game - mer-curious updated samurai shodown 2 perfect edition to the latest romset - added some cheats and hiscore saving for dkongex and dkongjp (all dkongex cheats are not tested). That's all, nothing major, but still quite a lot of changes... Oh yeah also the 2 appimage files are updated to be in sync with the latest windows builds, and I'll update the linux arch files now... ! http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html

MAMEUI64 0.274.0 has been released. Available at https://messui.1emulation.com Changes: - Fixed minor issues with galaxian-based games such as 4in1, frogger, pacmanbl, mooncrst and jumpbug [MT 02074, 02077, 09084, 05208, 01598] - Centralised version control to the top of the makefile - Fixed crash sound in drivfrcg and clones [MT 01595] - ELF2: fixed numerous bugs to get this system working [MT 09076] Please note that gameinit.dat which previously only contained arcade-related info now additionally has console, computer, and pinball information. You can grab a copy at https://github.com/Robbbert/Startup/blob/main/gameinit.dat . This information will show at the top of the history tab.

For the 3-4 people that still happen to visit the Zzap!Raine site, I have some news. I always thought that the website "didn't really age very well" and the menu icons in particular were very old and quite ugly. So I redesigned all icons with a Bubble Bobble style, and also fixed the general site layout to make it look better on modern web browsers. However the site counts about 120 independent HTML pages and I do not have the time to fix all of them at once, so the main pages were fixed and the rest will be done at a later stage. The site logo has also been redesigned, as well as other minor icons. I hope you like it. Link to site: https://raine.1emulation.com/zzapraine/index.html Link to image:

NestopiaX v2.5 Preview Build by Xtecuterx73 [quote]Hi all, I'm still working on finishing up the full update for NestopiaX and i mentioned it would be out this weekend but i got caught up in some real life getting in the way on Saturday and wasn't able to get it finished completely where i want it. BUT In the meantime i AM releasing a special preview build here with some goodies and fixes thrown in: *The naming of the XBE has changed to 2.5 instead of '21. This will fix any issues with the "'21" naming convention. *I reverted a change way back in NestopiaX 1.2 where FDS games would autoload. FDS games not autoload when selecting so no more having to manually insert the disk *Fixed a bug where the lightgun cursor was garbled and unresponsive when playing lightgun games. Not sure how no one caught this one! *Fixed *Backport of Full Mapper 555 support - Nintendo Campus Challenge '91 now plays. You HAVE to have the second controller set to lightgun just like Nintendo World Championships to get this game to load in NestopiaX. *Backport of Handling of special battery flag cases with NES 2.0 Mapper 30 ROMS - This fixes Adventure of Panzer 3 and possibly other games on this mapper to now be fixed and fully playable. *Backport of Full Mapper 354. Powerful 250-in-1, 400-in-1, and 1050-in-1 are now playable. *Backport of Allowing 32K CHR RAM on MMC3 boards with extended PRG ROM size - This fixes and allows full quiet and garbage pail kids to now run correctly. There are more code changes and cleanup in this preview but these are the ones people will mostly notice. Until the full release is made enjoy this preview build with NestopiaX[/quote] link [code]https://gofile.io/d/BduTre[/code] mirror [code]https://www.mediafire.com/file/xnqedua5is57dku/NestopiaX_2.5_Preview_Build.rar/file[/code]

After fixing the windows compilation problem in arch (!), here it is. So the main thing is the new shinobi neogeo driver, see there : Otherwise, fixes/improvements included : - the changes for mer-curious changing his physical display and/or soundcard on his laptop are inside, there is a thread about all this somewhere. - fixed a crash when opening the console after an error while loading a game - fixed a bug in the game options dialog, there is another post about this somewhere too, thanks to mer-curious... - fix the region selection which got broken while moving around entries from the main gui menu. - Restore mouse position when exiting the program, mainly useful for linux, for window managers which react to this - Now use SDL_OpenURL to open an url from the gui, it probably doesn't change anything for now, but it will be useful if raine is recompiled for something else than windows or linux. For once the linux binaries were ready a few hours before windows because of an update problem in my arch setup, nothing major finally, but very annoying ! http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html

And what took me so long ? Finding something to use for the sh2 emulation in 64 bits, and it was not easy ! Finally I took the sh2 emulation from an old mame version (153), and modified it to be compatible with what gens did, so that it's compatible with the psikyosh driver. The result is slightly slower than the asm version, but not by a lot, so it will do for now. I lost a lot of time with yabause which I looked at before that. Except that the windows status bugs seem fixed for good for those who missed the latest update of this painful story in the forum, there was a binary specific for that. And you can update your dlls for 0.96 if you want a more recent sdl2 version, but it's not mandatory, it should work fine with the old dlls. Have fun : http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html Oh yeah, I also added some links to some strategy guides in the about dialog for galaxian, pacman & clones, and dodonpachi. It's nothing fancy, it will just open your current browser with the corresponding page in the web, some kind of integrated bookmarks to raine, but I thought these guides deserved some more visibility !

And the magazines have finally been delivered! Time for a few group photos!

It mainly fixes the untested games in 0.97.0, but I took the opportunity to totally overhaul the disassemblers in the console, they are not external anymore, they use the functions provided by mame to disassemble. With that you can disassemble z80 encrypted roms which is convenient, but I did it mainly because my offsets arrays was becoming way too big with the sh2 emulation, it had been done for the 68000 for 32k regions, here it was really far over the limit ! But those who don't use the console shouldn't notice anything. Except that added the "psikyo SH2" driver to the drivers list in the game selection dialog options to be able to select these games more easily. That's all, the overhaul of the disassemblers is a very big change in git, it gets rid of most of the directories settings too. http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html For the gory details : dz80 was one of the external disassemblers, the one used by the z80, it was with raine since the old allegro dos version actually ! Very good disassembler, but it can't cope with encrypted roms... ! Also there was no support for the 6502 disassembler in the console, although it supported an external disassembler ! The list command changes because of that although its functionality remains the same, now the pc line is not in the middle of the listing but at the top. That's all for now, it was a very furious coding session !

I can confirm that plugging some earphones with a built-in mic works. You might try plugging anything with a mic. The idea is to have an input device detected in Windows. I didn't have to change anything in MAME.

I've let him know about the PM. Now it's up to him.

That's a known bug in MAME (see mametesters bug 9192), and it's been fixed for the next release. It can be worked around though. Either you can stay with PortAudio and in Windows configure an input device (such as a microphone), OR go into the default global settings, Sound, and choose something that isn't Auto or PortAudio.

this is the best that i can find when it comes to a complete package. [code]https://archive.org/download/mameoxtras_2020_complete_and_support_files[/code] but it is from 2021 and so it is using an older version of mame for xbox so some of the newer games added wont be in there.

yes this is the last update and dd one on neogeo is not compatible.

Yeah nothing major this time, it's more because a few things were committed to git this week to finish properly stuff in 0.97.5, and since there's nothing in the works for now it's better to release some new binaries now rather than wait an indefinite amount of time... So the changes : - Add a configuration for the joysticks dead zones in the inputs dialog, all joysticks share the same setting, don't complain since arcade joysticks don't use precise placement, it's just up left down right and center that's all. - cheat dialog: fix bug when text for the status bar is too long to fit on the screen normally the bar flashes and you can click on it to get the full text. Except the click has been broken since the transition to sdl2 ! At least this feature is not used often, which is not a surprise. - new region switches for xmvsf, mvsc, hsf2 - mshvsf: Enable "Norimaru" for all regions. It's an extra character which was reserved for Japan only previously, but it didn't make much sense to keep it only for Japan after adding a region switch to this rom. - And ffman1985 produced a new console script for sf2hfj. That's all, and this time it should be the last release for quite a while ! AppImage files updated too by the way, since sdl was updated it was too bad not to include the updated version... I didn't update the sdl2 dll in the dlls package for windows, you can grab the updated version directly from github if you are interested, but it's really about minor fixes inside, nothing major. win64 dll: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases/download/release-2.32.2/SDL2-2.32.2-win32-x64.zip win32 dll: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases/download/release-2.32.2/SDL2-2.32.2-win32-x86.zip I didn't even update the version number, but you can check the date of the binary either in the archives or in the about dialog, compiled a few minutes ago!

Done in git, notice that dead zones are not really necessary afaik in linux, at least all the joysticks I could test don't return anything when the joy is at its default position, which is the expected behavior but it means no dead zone necessary, but that's not what happens in windows at all ! That's why I added this big dead zone... At least this way people will be able to fine tune this... ! It's in the inputs dialog, like mouse sensitivity, same principle, a slider.

For those who have downloaded the file - Sound Associaition List (SF Series)(31-1-2025), plz be aware that for the list for street fighter zero 2 alpha, the rom name is wrong (sfz2alz is not exist). You may download it again, but I prefer to change it yourself, because differnt people play different rom ver. Note: for english ver., it is sfz2al which is the parent rom. And for japanese ver., it is sfz2alj. And the original sfa2 may also use the list which I didn't checked.

Done ! I finally switched to linux mint, which is based on ubuntu but with some more usable interface (at least for me) and it gave me less problems too, except its very long installation time ! Anyway you get 2 appimage packages for 0.97.5, which means the current version in git, I didn't plan to release now, but why not ? I'll make the windows binaries tonight or tomorrow, got enough building and configuration for now, with a proper announcement, nothing major in it, mainly some scripts updates, but lots of them to fix some long standing problems which means that not enough people are using them otherwise they would have been reported by now. It's a shame, these scripts are not only about cheats, they sometimes allow to see things you wouldn't see without them in a game ! And ffman1985 added some too. And mer-curious updated some romset to its latest version. I guess you are using the 64 bits version ? Well the 32 bits version seems surprisingly easy to run, see the comments on the download page, just 2 basic packages to install 1st to get a good amount of base packages for i386, and everything should be fine ! There will be another update tomorrow because I forgot some debug code in the launcher for the i386 version and forgot to update hiscore.dat and history.dat inside... Also ffman1985 managed to contribute a few more scripts a few seconds after I posted this ! I never found why the vbox shared dirs didn't work in ubuntu or in mint this time, I did it with a nfs mount instead, I don't know what they messed, the problem is probably in ubuntu, and since mint is based on it... ! Anyway...

Golden Axe port to Neogeo is available, as is Karnov port. I've got the P.O.W. port as well, but only on neogeoCD currently. I'll see if it's possible to make roms out of it. There's a Double Dragon One demo, also for Neogeo, that's in the current HBmame.

Sorry to make a new release already, it's mainly to finish the previous one finally : after testing you could get the blue screen bug in mission 2 in shinobin (neogeo or neocd version) just by allowing the speed hacks in neogeo options in raine. You can get the same result if you use a rom cheat, and one of the cheats adapted from the original shinobi from mame is a rom cheat ! So really something had to be done ! So the main part : - disabled the 2 rom checks in shinobin, neogeo and neocd version to be able to use a speed hack or a rom cheat without getting this crazy blue screen on mission 2 - added cheats converted from the original shinobi in mame, it's just a reassembled version, so you can find the corresponding offsets for this version Except that : - Portuguese and Italian are now correctly autodetected in windows when you run raine for the 1st time (without any config file). Sorry I forgot these 2 in windows, hey I don't have anyone to maintain the windows version, so I do it by default, but it's not what I prefer ! - The watch points work better in the console when using musashi (which means the 64 bits version), and watches on words, see the git log for the details, it's quite technical. - Display again the neocd id after the short name of the game in the gui at the bottom of the screen. Just for neocd, not neogeo, that's where it's most useful when testing something which is not official. It was displayed before, but quite a long time ago. It's quite short but after that nothing is planned for quite a while ! http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html

It actually started in 0.97.3 because I played a little bit with the glsl stuff, I had tested and it didn't seem to break anything, but with this particular shader because it doesn't affect all shaders, there is indeed a problem. Anyway it's fixed.

The enhancement in the arranged soundtrack in street fighter alpha 1,2 are not so big as compared to the difference between neogeo cd and rom. The most clear track to notice the difference is chun li theme. I know the existence of the ast because i played these games in sega saturn when i was young. I think Tux has done an amazing work in the sound association function and I hope more people should know about this, that’s why i share my list here. (Unfortunately, it seems not many people interested.)

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/02/donkey-kongs-famed-kill-screen-has-been-cleared-for-the-first-time/ This famous kill screen can be optionally fixed by a cheat from mame included in current raine versions anyway, but the article is still interesting ! Extreme way of playing just to pass this kill screen without actually fixing it... ! And here is how this bug is fixed by the cheat, with some heavily commented z80 code : http://donhodges.com/How_high_can_you_get.htm About the next page from the article about the pacman bug : this time the fix is still needed and the cheat is correctly converted for that, you can enable it before starting the game if you are crazy enough to try to reach level 255 ! last edit : finally the dkong kill screen fix still had a bug because of the converter. It's now fixed in git, along with cheats for fatfurspa.txt fatfursp.txt p47j.txt p47.txt samsho2.txt sgemf.txt superspy.txt truxton2.txt (the txt extension is the extension for raine scripts). These are all in git, along with the fixes for the converter.

Hello, Raine has fixed the sound association function for the CPS2 Games in 2023, I am so sorry that I didn't test it until now as I am the one who requested this. Now, I would like to share a sound association list for the CPS2 games. In fact, there are only Street Fighter games in the list, because they are the only CPS2 games with the official arranged soundtrack. Rom included: sfa, sfzalj, ssf2, ssf2t, hsf2 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z7qNv0aek7Cz77jvndAN0rtRgpIk22IK/view?usp=sharing Tutorial: Part 1: Downloading the music To apply my list easily, you are encourage to download your mp3 from khinsider (which is a famous site for game music), so that the file name will be the same as that of my list. Here is the albums to download: 1. Street Fighter Alpha (PS1 Gamerip)(ignore the tracks marked with original) 2. Street Fighter II Movie Original Soundtrack (Just download track 5, and name it to "Of the Beloved, Of Sadness, Of Responsibility.mp3" and put it in the folder of Street Fighter Alpha, this is a special track used in the Japanese arcade ver. in the Dramatic Battle, even PS/SS don't have this track) 3. Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold (PS1/SS Gamerip) (Track 48 should be renamed to "48. Ending ~M. Bison.mp3" because it is not shin akuma. And I renamed Track 2 to "02. Opening (edit).mp3" because the vocal in the last part of this track should be cut.) 4. Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition (Just download the tracks of CD3, all marked with arrange.) Part 2: Editing the list 1. In the first line of the sound list of each game, there is the rom name. You may need to change it, as you may not play the same ver. as me. For example, I play the japanese ver. of Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha (sfz2alj), so the first line of the line is [sfz2alz:assoc]. If you play the english ver., the rom is sfz2al, so you must change the rom name and become [sfz2al:assoc]. 2. Directory of the music files are different for all people. But, don't worry, you don't have to change it one by one. For example, my muisc of street fighter alpha is in "‪D:\Games\Capcom AST\Street Fighter Alpha", assume yours is "D:\Music\Capcom\Street Fighter Zero". In Notepad, open the "Replace " function (in the Edit tab, or by pressing CTRL+H). On the upper box paste "D:\Games\Capcom AST\Street Fighter Alpha" and on the lower box paste "D:\Music\Capcom\Street Fighter Zero" and finally press the Replace All button. Repeat the step for all other game, and save the file. Part 3. After editing the whole list, copy all the text to "game.cfg" under the "config" folder in Raine. "game.cfg" can be opened with the Notepad. Part 4. You may find the music are too loud as compared to other sound effect or character voice. So, go to the Raine menu, select Sound options and adjust the Music volume. I set it to 20 or 30 for the street figher music from khinsider. Alternatively, you may edit the volume of all mp3 file using software like Goldwave or Audacity. P.S. Although the list don't inlude the original street fighter alpha 2 (zero 2), I believe it shares the same music as its enahnced ver. If you have the game, copy the list for sfz2alz, and then change the rom name.

And it's a good news for the lazy people who don't want to emulate directly the sega driver !

Ok, it's fixed for good this time, could reproduce it in linux and in french. You need to download the new dlls-0.97.4 and redownload the latest raine version too ! Sorry for the inconvenience, it was worse for me, I had to rebuild a few packages manually, windows is really a nightmare lately. All 0.97.3 is removed, dlls and raine versions. A few more details : apparently the gcc libs became incompatible with the gettext version I had installed. In a normal system all of this is updated at the same time so you never see incompatibilities like that, except that since I cross compile, that is I prefer to build raine from linux instead of from windows, some of the packages are not in binary form but in source form only, and I need to recompile them when i want to update them, gettext is in this category, and it's very long to compile, so I avoid to compile it as much as possible. Except there is no warning about incompatibilities, and they are easily missed in such a setup ! I would really need someone to take care of the windows version from windows, it would be easier for everyone, but I don't want to do it because rebooting all the time would be longer. Anyway I hope this mess will be over for quite a while !

Well sorry I can't guess what you broke in this case ! Actaully from your screenshot the locale gets initialized to Portuguese but raine doesn't even detect it so it stays in english internally, you even have an half translated screen : Background animation should have a translation normally, I checked and there is one for pt_BR. Eventually make sure that the contents of your locale directory is only 4 directories : es fr it pt_BR. I guess you should be able to overwrite the language setting from the gui anyway. (eventually select another language 1st and then once it works you can select what you want). For info yes here the language detection function works fine in windows so it detects french and so my raine starts by default in french, I usually change that to english because I am used to the english keyboard shortcuts. In next version the windows language detection function will recognize pt_BR and italian too by default, but you'll see that only if starting without any config file, otherwise the choice in the config file has the priority. All this might be because of the dll update, maybe the detection got clever and has its own windows language detection now... ! But normally when raine can't detect the locale, it falls back to C, which is english normally (default locale), so I am really not sure how you can do that !

They are just late as usual. If it was skipped they would make an entry at mamedev.org (like last year), and my version would have been (0.272.2). I did it early (well, on time), because of hot weather that started today which may go on for weeks, too hot for my poor little computer.

I took the time out of curiosity to search when they did that change : in mame 177 precisely, it was in 2016! It doesn't come for this rom alone of course, there are quite a lot of changes in the cps2 roms, and they can't be applied automatically because there are some differences in the way raine and mame load these roms. Which means that I'd have to manually test each change, plus it would make the new roms incompatible with the version for raine on internet archive ! Well if you manage to find at least 1 useful change in all these changes, I'll consider it, otherwise just forget it ! The ideal would probably be to be able to load roms from some external definitions files so they can adapt to all these crazy changes for those who want to follow, but it would require quite some changes... ! Plus it would probably create some other problems in some drivers which modify the rom and expect some precise bytes at some precise places (which is not the case of the cps2 driver thankfully !).

MAMEUI64 0.272.0 has been released. Available at https://messui.1emulation.com The only major change is the ability to get proper crash dumps in case something goes wrong. Most people can ignore this, but if you think you can help with tracking down problems you must start MAMEUI with a redirection parameter. For example: >mameui > crash.txt Various internal things will be written to crash.txt which can be ignored, but should a crash occur, the dump will go into crash.txt as well. The dump uses the new file mameui.sym which has been included in the download package. When a crash occurs, MAMEUI will appear to freeze for about 60 seconds, before exiting. No need to panic. If the freeze goes on for too long then you can terminate the process.

D : I remember now, it's just that the key sequence you type is the sequence which is searched, so if you type twice D, it means you are looking for DD, which can be dangerous in case you have a game whose label contains DD, like top hunter, the neogeo game... ! If you are not sure, it's better to enable the "return mandatory" option. I didn't do that to be standard, just to find a way to be as fast as possible with the keyboard, it works well. And for the mame update : it's a never ending headache, I stopped following their nonsense years ago, all this should have been done differently normally (preserving the old rom sets and just adding the new ones with an increasing number when they are found), it would preserve compatibility with all versions, and usually the most recent version hasn't got very important changes. So well I accept patches to update the romset if you feel like it, if not, you'll have to be patient because I really hate doing this stuff !

xp last update was in 2010 or 2011, so it doesn't make much sense to loose too much time on it. I would have kept compatibility but virtualbox removed direct3d support for xp in 6.1 because of a big security hole in their driver, I would have preferred that they would simply add a big red button to click to allow users to install this despite the security hole, but they just removed direct3d support, so it's impossible for me to run any version of raine in xp in virtualbox now, so too many people want xp to disappear. On my end I quite liked some custom xp editions like tinyxp : small, fast and efficient, but oh well, I guess it's too outdated now. And it's not hardware obsolescence, you still do what you want with your hardware, you can install something else on it, it's software obsolescence only here. And the next victim will be win7, but maybe I won't have to deal with that... !

Oh, ok I surrender, I added an Autodetect choice for the soundcard in the gui, and I fixed the detection of the sample rate which was linked to the sound driver instead of the soundcard... ! You won't have a test binary for now because after the forum, it seems the ftp is broken for now, I can't send raine.7z ! (deleted the file to avoid any mistake). It's still a rare case in my opinion, but it's quite interesting to see how it can be done without having something too big. Since I had to fix the sample rate detection too it's a little longer than what I anticipated but it's still ok, and maybe someone else would use that ! Notice that the behavior is the same as before : if you don't choose "Autodetect" explicitely and you have no config file, then it will detect the soundcard only once, there's no reason to detect it all the time except on a crazy laptop changing its output device all the time ! Difference from before : now if you change the soundcard in sound options and the sound card driver has a preferred sample rate, you'll see this sample rate selected in the options in real time. Not all drivers have a preferred sample rate, if there is none the frequency is not changed. By the way the error on the server is because of a full disk !

Oh well you can always test this binary, since normally it can now work around the issue of soundcard not present you shouldn't be able to reproduce this error with it. https://raine.1emulation.com/archive/tux/raine.7z

Not for me, and really I get more and more tired of this... !

Impressive !

If you want... You know normal people don't keep on deleting their config files all the time, usually sound setup is done in a few seconds only once and never after that, so it doesn't really matter which device is selected by default usually... But it's your day of luck, sdl2 thought about people like you and it knows about selecting a default device instead of just the 1st one, so that's what I'll do now. I can't test it now because I don't have any pc with 2 soundcards, maybe the mini but it has no raine for now because of a very small disk... I might test this later then. (but I don't guarantee sdl2 default will be the one in your desktop, but maybe !). edit after trying : no luck, the mini has only 1 soundcard detected, I got an old pc with 2 but this one hasn't been powered on for 3 years now and everything is too outdated on it to test something like that ! Oh well, you'll test that next time... ! Anyway I have no pc with 2 soundcards and windows installed on it !

Alright fixed normally, and finally it was not a dll problem, just the usual kind of bug you get when you mess too much with windows statuses, and it could happen in linux too (the small screen in fullscreen). Test when you can the good news is the new dll is not needed anymore, you can delete it if you still have it, it's a return to the normal build process from linux ! http://raine.1emulation.com/archive/tux/raine.7z

Ok, it happens, windows only of course I would have spotted this long ago in linux, it's not so old it started around 0.96.10, because of the windows tricks which was probably the worst idea I ever had ! It's even worst that what you say because once the video is broken this way, it's saved in your config file and you'll find the same broken video next time you launch raine. It's easy to fix manually though, it's just screen_y in the config file which gets a bad value, just put your real screen height here and it will work, at least until you return to the windowed mode before switching again to fullscreen this way. It's not easy to fix because this has become an intricate mix of craziness to work around the strange behavior of windows, my 1st attempt to fix it triggered an even worse bug. So for now either switch back to 0.96.9 or before, use the keyboard, or switch to linux ! For info the size of the black border on top is exactly the height of the title bar for a maximized window, it's a windows bug you see here, it doesn't happen when using the same binary in wine in linux. I am tempted to remove all this windows craziness, but even that has become complicated for now, so for now it will just remain as it is for now, I might return to it later, I already lost way too much time on that.

Maybe it's just a sync problem when you choose the real fullscreen mode, normally these modes have nothing special for sync, but except that... But anyway knights is a 16:9 game, 384x224 it's 1.71 16:9 being 1.78), but I guess you took care not to use real fullscreen modes here again didn't you ? Anyway if the scaling parameters are normal it tries to apply the same scaling value to w and h so that at least one dimension takes the whole screen. For knights it's normally the horizontal screen which is full, there is a very thin black border on the top. That's why it's impossible to get a black border around the whole picture here, it's either w or h which is maximized. Unless your super windoze chose a video mode with some sync problem which forces black borders, use desktop fullscreen only, it uses the same sync as the desktop so there should be no black borders, and I really don't understand how you could miss that you were using real fullscreen modes, if you want to do it from windowed mode you have to choose left in the gui... anyway removed soon if I make another binary one day. (or you have something which reports a wrong resolution, I never heard of that). For the gui screenshot I might be able to add some code to be able to take a screenshot from raine (I guess just make the same keyboard shortcut to work from the gui), but you can't do much for the way windows does things here. And the reason I disabled maximized -> fullscreen is because it becomes almost impossible to restore the window for maximized state in windows, so it's still the case. And for the print screen key not working, it might be microsoft's way to try to discourage the use of opengl programs in favor of direct3d, except that it's stupid since if you want to be able to run your program on something else than windows, direct3d is not an option ! edit : another "confidential" binary for you to play with, it recognizes the 1st 2 emulator keyboard controls from any gui dialog, the 1st being screenshot, and the 2nd switch to fullscreen. Which means that poor windows users who can't take a screenshot using the print screen key will now be able to use the standard raine key for that at least ! And you'll be able to switch to/from fullscreen using your chosen key, alt-return by default. By the way real fullscreen is removed. By the way the code to take a screenshot from the gui is shamelessly copied from the old dos allegro version with minimal modifications : png instead of pcx, and calls ogl_save_png in the end to save the picture (same thing as the game drivers). Contrary to the allegro version, you'll get a message box telling you the filename of the screenshot when it's done. The link is still the same : http://raine.1emulation.com/archive/tux/raine.7z

Yeah all this because they forgot a credential in an open server and it stayed there for years until this stupid group decided to use it... Millions of credentials stolen after that, what a mess... ! Anyway, I guess it should be fixed soon now. For switch emulation those interested kept the binaries already, and suyu is still maintained. I might take a look at your window problem later at least to check if it's so easy to fix, but I doubt it. edit : of course it doesn't happen in linux, at least not in window maker which I use. Now seeing why this stupid windoze broke things again will take more time, so maybe later !

Can somebody please pm me the 264-m1d.bin of the decryted or cryted file of this rom?

They have already made a backup in internet archive, the site is still available for now. It's mainly for the consoles, but there are a few arcade hacks though. Just found 2 for tgm2p that I didn't know, I converted the one to stop the music to a cheat for raine, it's committed in git for now (incompatible with currently released version, because there was no way to modify a sh2 rom in this version !). It's right that the game is good but the music is a disaster and it's actually better with just the sound effects !

Found that some zn games were crashing, so fixed that and uploaded version 0.268.1 - it's recommended that you get this one, and throw 0.268.0 in the bin.
