It started by ffman1985 scripts. Found a way to make them compatible with the normal cps2 versions and not just the phoenix versions. Then he noticed the sound associations didn't work well in cps2, normal since they were never really tested. He says there is a site in the internet with re-arranged versions of the cps2 tracks which sounds very nice with the associations... so they are fixed now, it was much easier than neogeo, their major commands stay the same for all drivers. Then I used the cheats to convert some region bytes switches to some regions which can be changed in raine gui, it allowed to identify region clones, that is clones whose only difference is the region byte itself, and get rid of them since we can now change the region to whatever we want. Notice some games like choko don't have english texts for the non japenese versions, which is not a surprise. Then there was the problem of some long standing graphical glitches because of the dreaded priority masks. So I finally added some emulation for these priority masks, it's quite amazing that the driver worked quite well without them for all this time actually ! (and thanks go to mame for their code, even if I couldn't believe it for very long, they probably spent a long time to find this). Except that : - the list of games now using the console scripts from ffman1985 is longer, see his thread for details. Here it is : hsf2d, sf2cejc, sf2ce, sf2hfj, sf2hf, sf2j, sf2, sf2ad, sfa, sfz2ald, sfz2alj, sfz2al, ssf2ud, ssf2xjd, ssf2xj, xmcotar1d - progear had been broken for 1 year ! It's now fixed. - the ips files can now be bps files when referenced in a .dat file. If you don't know what bps files are, never mind ! - some minor fixes in the multiple files selector for "load ips dat files" - since they never fixed sdl2_image 2.6.x which does not return palettes anymore for 256 colors png, I finally merged the right version of their load_png function to be able to keep the color cycling in the raine dialog on systems with a recent sdl2_image (linux only !) - raine can optionally be compiled using clang, it's mainly useful for debuging - add back button in game controllers to switch between dialog headers and main parts in the gui - Plus some minor stuff... ! That was quite a big update this time : http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html Also both appimage files, 32 bits and 64 bits have been updated to 0.95.5, and there was a small problem in the makefile which forced me to make a 0.95.5b version just for the linux packages.

MAMEUI Classic 0.255.0 has been released. Fixed a crash with some sliders: Gamma, Brightness, Contrast etc Available at https://messui.1emulation.com

MAMEUI Classic 0.254.0 has been released. I decided to try a different distribution method this time. You can get it from our download section:

Most of the changes in this one are for the dos version and were released as 0.96.6 for dos anyway, but : - fixed an amazing bug for pengo which was here since 0.43.2, that was in september 2005 !!! See the thread in the forum if you want details. - galaga will now display a message when loaded if it can't find anything for the explosion sample, you can ignore it, it's for info. - gui fixes : games states, transparency, length of game title + size at bottom of screen. - a new "color theme", it was just because I noticed the dos version had actually 3 color themes, but it was done simply by rotating the colors rgb values, here it's a little more involved. Anyway the red theme had been forgotten in the sdl versions... http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html

All the motivation of mer-curious brought this, it's mainly for samsho2pe, "samurai shodwon II perfect hack v1.8", thanks to the info found in final burn neo. This is a special hack this time since it adds a new memory rom mapping to the neogeo driver, never seen before in raine. Except that I got rid of index_roms.html finally, this file was here as a quick way to get the roms sizes, but actually using the head http command is more efficient (!), and got a proper fix for this weird green screen bug that mer-curious had in windows for way too long... !

Just a notice about the talk of the other day about android : raine would work almost out of the box on the steam deck, it's an amd cpu, running linux arch, and this is what is supported here by default ! Ok, it's not like using a phone which is already useful for some other uses, but for those interested, it just works. I don't own one so I can't give some step by step instructions on how to install, but it's probably quite easy. It's probably worth mentioning this !

MAMEUI Classic 0.259.0 has been released. Available at https://messui.1emulation.com Note: Official MAME isn't released yet, don't know when it will be, so I might have missed some late changes that haven't happened yet. I didn't feel like waiting around as I have better things to do.

Gunbarich is a new psikyosh game, so 32 bits only, it's a crazy breakout, but with the standard joystick as input. Except that the fixes : - fixed loading roms from internet archive when there are multiple rom names known and the 1st is not the one in internet archive, I noticed this one while doing a new raine install at a friend's... ! This bug was added in 0.96.2 because I wanted to have a visible error when the rom size wasn't found, well it wasn't found for all these games with multiple names ! - fixed a crash in the 32 bits version when trying to use any game using the 6502 cpu, there was a conflict between the 6502 and the sh2 because of an endif and a misplaced break... ! Also I started to add daraku, but this one uses a new type of layer, with line/row scroll too, so it's too much for me for now, the game is loadable, but doesn't work. http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html

Wow, this one was hard ! For those who have read the topic about the sh2 version, this is it, except finally there was no serious bug in the sh2 emulator, it was related to the cache read which is very specific to the saturn and which is useless here and which gave me an error very hard to understand, but finally it's over... So in the end the sh2 additions are for the 32 bits version only, as planned. It might be possible to add the sh2 emulator from kronos for the 64 bits version, but I lacked time and motivation to do that lately. It's still possible it will eventually happen in the future, but not guaranteed, in case you didn't notice there are things going on around here which prevent me from doing what I want lately, and it's very possible that I stop raine soon. It was an incredible adventure anyway, I would never have thought that it would have lasted for so long ! To be more precise about the new stuff : gunbird2, strikers 1945 iii, tetris the grand master 2 and 2+, sol divide, and dragon blaze are added and playable. Dragon Blaze has some serious graphical glitches, I didn't emulate everything for the video emulation in this driver, but I decided it has been long enough since the last version and it's really time to release something now. This version uses "gens sh2", which is the sh2 emulator from Stéphane Dallongeville. The new games have hiscores saving, history, and cheats. Console support for the new sh2 is partial, but it's enough to get all this. Except that the 64 bits version gets what was discussed before summer but never released in a binary form, mostly some text updates from mer-curious, the additions of some samurai shodown clones (samsh5fe & samsh5pf), some surprising fix for the neocd games with a width of 320 (most neocd games have a with of 304 pixels), sgemf region bytes and the region clones are removed for this game, and the console mode script for sgemf from ffman1985, all this has been in git since june, but if you don't compile it's the 1st official binary release. Of course all this is also in the 32 bits version, but the 32 bits version is the only one getting the sh2 stuff since it's in x86 assembly language. http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html linux builds updated, the 32 bits version obliged me to make a 0.96.0a because of a stupid bug in xgettext which refuses to accept an utf8 character in an input file when it should, and the 64 bits build obliged me to make a 0.96.0b because gens_sh2 was not correctly disabled for the 64 bits build in linux ! What a mess, but anyway everything is updated now.

Earlier than what I thought because of some rather big bug found, but I took the opportunity to fix a few more things : - fixed the hiscore saving for tgm2 / tgm2p (a new @delay command in the hiscore.dat for these 2) - fix a crash when starting acrobatm or any game in the nmk driver actually, and fixed an older bug which prevented these games from starting - Finally added the roms info so that the new sh2 games can be downloaded from internet archive http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html

Yeah, ffman1985 was making bigger and bigger scripts which were harder and harder for the old script system, so I tried an lua interface instead, and it made wonders, I can have 0% in Misc with a console script active in linux with the 32 bits version constantly ! The console scripts are available for xmcotar1d, sfz2ald, sfad, af2, af2j, sf2hf, sf2hfj, sf2ce, sf2cejc. For now the old normal version is still available for comparison, but since we couldn't find any bug it will probably be removed next time. The lua version has [lua] at the end of its title. There is a perl converter to convert from the old scripts to the new lua syntax, but it's useful only for those writing scripts ! You can read more details about the crazy work from ffman1985 with these scripts there, and post something for him too : This means you get a new dll, it's included in the raine32 and raine64 zip files for now. Except that : - some last fixes for the multiple files selector to preload ips dat files - a setting to disable ips files globally (at the top of the "preload ips dat files" file selector) - revert a neogeo optimization which made unibios crazy with its strange screensaver (a black screen when using their cheat menu) - a fix so that keys which open a gui dialog are not seen as always down when returning to the game Get it from there : http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html linux binaries updated (except the appImage) edit : oh by the way, the how to compile guide was updated too for lua, and I added a part about the minimum things to know about mingw if you install it only to compile raine.

I've been thinking about the sh2 in raine for quite some years now, but I finally got a binary which starts to work. The motivation is simple : there are quite a few modern arcade games which use this cpu, and it's an interesting one, what the 68k cpus could look like if they had evolved towards the risc family of cpus. For now my choice was to use the gens sh2 emulator from there : http://www.gens.me/downloads.shtml It's a pure x86 asm emulator like in the old raine days, but the criteria of choice was that it's the only one which is open source and usable directly with some documentation and no need to extract the emulator from a big project, it's really the only one of its kind in this category. After a few expected problems I was able to add "gunbird 2" and "strikers 1945 iii", which are fully playable, but in 32 bits only then. Now the surprise is that I have some serious bugs with some more sh2 games, like tetris grand master 2, no sound at all, and the game hangs when the music is supposed to start. At first I thought it was a problem with the sound chip emulation, but after a long investigation, it's not. In this case, it's a problem in the sh2 emulation. Fixing it would probably be impossible, or I'd have to be very lucky, the 1st big problem is to find the instruction causing this, and since it doesn't crash but just has a bad behavior it's not going to be easy at all. So now I am wondering : should I release this 32 bits binary anyway now ? I think it's not a bad idea anyway, even if I later change the sh2 emulation used... There is a big heat wave here anyway for now, so I'll wait until the temperature cools down to decide, but comments welcome anyway ! If I change the sh2 emulation, my next choice would either be kronos, yabause (these 2 are actually related), or mame. 1st choice would probably be kronos, there is a "simple" sh2 emulator in it, with a more advanced one, the simple one would allow to at least test the games with problems. The version in mame might not be so hard to extract, not sure about it really, things can get really messy in mame.

... and I disagree ! But, if you want, you can update the brazilian translation and put that in CAPITALS then (for the brazilian language only) !

The glitch : most probably a hack problem, I agree, too bad you don't have the url for the original author, you could post there to be sure. The savegames in the gui : probably the most underused function of raine, never used it myself, but you are right and I just fixed it in git, it just shows this thing is never used. The neogeo saveram : To be totally sure there are 2 kinds of data here, the memory card, which is game specific, in neocd and AES systems if I am not wrong (the non arcade one), and the neogeo saveram. The saveram is shared by multiple games, that's how the neogeo system is made. Remember it's a cartridge system, even at the arcade level. Here it's a hack, so it's totally normal that it tries to access the data from samsho2. There are functions in the bios, particularly in the uni bios to explore what was saved in the saveram. For raine internally, the memory card is saved under <game name>-neogeo.bin in savedata, so it's really game specific, and the saveram is saved in neogeo.saveram only, in savedata too. Here it looks like the hiscore screen, some games are saving to a .hi file in raine, but most neogeo games save their scores to the saveram, and that's the case for these 2. Notice that the capacity of the saveram is far from infinite so if you play a lot of neogeo games, the oldest ones disappear from the saveram... !

Don't worry, that makes it interesting ! Yeah it's a comment, it's harmless, but it just shows I had a quick look at samsho5pf just before adding this clone ! I fixed it here. At least it shows you had a look at the code, good, and thanks for that ! Except that, the main part is : LOAD_SW16 is the way to load the rom, it's often the case for a 68000 code rom, the bytes are swapped compared to an intel cpu, and you have to use LOAD_SW16 instead of LOAD, it shows in the console when using the dump command, but anyway. Then CPU1, it's the 68000. The name of the rom, then its offset, apparently fbneo doesn't have any offset, which must make some romsets a little awkward to write because there are all kinds of oddities in the arcade roms and everything is not always in 1 block. That's probably the hard part for you here, you have to count manually the offset, 0 for the 1st one, then add the sizes of what has been loaded so far : 0x100000, then 0x200000. Then the size, and finally the crc. Then the CLNEI line which says it's a clone of samsho2 and gives the long name, the company (I left SNK here, but actually it's a hack, so I just replaced it with HACK instead), year and type of game. Then you need the DRV( smasho2pe ) line in drivers.h to declare the driver, and that's all, your driver can be accessed and played, assuming it doesn't do anything funny like this one which used a new rom mapping.

And finally went to the bottom of it, there is a weird difference between the opengl implementation in windows and in linux, I don't know why, this thing is supposed to be standard, not made by microsoft normally... anyway what happens is that the draw color, set by a super standard function, glColor affects the pixel operations in windows, but not in linux ! When you know it, it's very easy to work around it, just set the drawing color to white when the opengl drawing starts, which means just 1 more function called when the "play game" option is selected, almost nothing. With this I can finally remove the 2 workarounds there were for this very stupid bug. It's committed, but it isn't worth a new binary just for that !

MAMEUI Classic 0.261.2 has been released. Available at https://messui.1emulation.com Interim release because there's nothing official this month. Happy Christmas!

Thanks for releasing MAMEUI Classic 0.261.0 Robert. I appreciate it. Merry Christmas.

You'll notice a problem only if your soundcard doesn't use 44.1 KHz by default, if it does then there is no problem. The crash happens very fast in the intro sequence, as soon as the 1st leave appears. (errr, it's actually a petal !) Released a new binary for that, 0.96.4, just 1 line added but it fixes this crash : http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html It's related to the changes done for sdl2, previously the soundcard was just opened in 44.1 KHz for neocd, no matter the configuration.

Thanks for posting, at least it proves that romhacking still accepts new entries, and this one is massive indeed. I'll take a look later, but it requires to find the same version he mentions with the given sha32, so it might take some time. Thanks for the info anyway ! Yeah found the original bin without too much trouble, some sites have the patched bin already. The xdelta patch applies without any trouble and is very fast, the surprise is that the resulting bin file is actually smaller ! But yeah it's still a 2352 bin file. I found a crash in raine if using all bin files for audio like here and the audio requires some conversion because the soundcard is configured for something like 48000 Hz, and these files are for 44100 Hz, it's a stupid bug, just 1 forgotten line, but it's still a crash, it's fixed in git, if somebody else has the problem I'll make another binary. Except that yeah, high quality patch, it took forever to make, and the guy had to be incredibly motivated to spend so much time on it, respect for the work done. Like most people I had played enough with the version released 10 years ago (already !) to understand that the game was very basic and a disappointment, which was probably the reason why there was never any official translation... But still, it's an impressive work he has done here. I remembered I needed some cheats to disable the automatic fights just not to become crazy with ultra easy repetitive fights all the time, since he changed some things for the eu/us version, you might have more chance, I didn't try that. And indeed you have some soft dipswitches now, you can access them in "neocd options", there was nothing usable there before, I doubt the choice of ps1 / saturn elements was in the original japense iso. Great work for sure !

HBMAME 0.245.14 has been released. https://hbmame.1emulation.com/ What's new in HBMAME ==================== 2023-09-24 0.245.14 New Games --------------------------------- - [dkongacc] Donkey Kong Accelerate v1.01 (2023-09-05) - [dkbrlbss] Donkey Kong Barrel Boss v1.01 (2023-08-16) - [dksprfin2] Donkey Kong Springfinity v1.02 (2023-08-15) - [sfz3mix20] Street Fighter Zero 3 (Turbo Mix 0.20) - [sfz3mix] Street Fighter Zero 3 (Turbo Mix 0.21)

Fixes for the left out bugs from yesterday, plus adding a last game : - fixed the bad ymf278b emulation, sound is normal again for all games using this chip which include the sh2 games - fixed the bad palette for dragon blaze - added s1945ii (including hiscore saving, cheats and there is a new history file). Which should make a much more solid version than the one from yesterday. A word about alpha blending in the psikyosh driver : currently sprites are drawn 1st, which means that if a sprite is drawn with some alpha blending effect over some layers, it won't work, you can see that for example in tgm2, the next game piece to go down is drawn over a black background instead of some alpha blending effect on top of the background layer. The idea was to make an improved version of this driver using directly opengl functions, it would simplify a lot all this alpha blending stuff and the priorities, I had a piece of code I had played with a few years ago, but I lost it ! I am not really motivated for now to restart everything from scratch, so for now I'll leave it as it is, tgm2 is very playable and enjoyable as it is anyway (by the way I thought 1st it was just a commercial tetris accelerating like crazy so that the player can't play for too long, but actually there is a trick, if you survive the big acceleration after some time the game will return to its initial speed after some quite surprising effect... ! So it's not a bad game, it's just a pity they don't explain exactly how it works during attract mode). I could have made a workaround for tgm2 to have the blending effect anyway, but as it is now this would be in software and the blending functions are super slow, so I prefer to leave it as it is now. Probably the last raine version for at least quite a while ! (and there is an optional update for the dlls for this 0.96 version, the dlls32-0.96 and dlls64-0.96 packages are here with an updated sdl2 inside, but it's not mandatory). http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html

Thanks for all the info, and your english is improving ! I guess if pf has some translations included it can be better than nothing then, even if it's not as good as the pc version. It also means these 2 games can probably accept most of the cheats coming from the special edition, but that's a lot of cheats to test... Maybe later...!

For your 1 you could have guessed the reason : when you load a neocd game the emulator doesn't know which game it is before it loads at least the 1st part, and so it does not know which region to apply 1st, so you have the default region 1st, that's all. Then once the game is identified, it gets the last region used for that game or its default region. For your 2 I can't reproduce it for now, launched smasho3 with the us region in windowed mode (in linux), started the game, the picture is not cut on its right side, and displaying the gui doesn't change anything to it. If the bug is just because you are using a 640x480 window, just forget it ! I am not sure for now. edit : and after testing in wine, I still can't reproduce this. No idea how you did that. edit2 : and even in win10, and even with a 640x480 window, no cut on the right. Oh well... !

I haven't got the latest one, but still more recent than that, I had to allow an update specifically to be able to update the nvidia driver, I couldn't install the latest version without that, so I guess you don't have the latest nvidia version neither ? It must be the 22h2 if I remember correctly, I disabled windows update after that and I hope to keep it at this level for long. Well you are lucky it's minor, just a white cross instead of a green one, because supporting such a specific windows version would seem quite crazy. Anyway... ! edit : confirmed after verification, 22h2, installed late in march 23 because I blocked windows update before, and I still blocked an update on this version (I can now update the nvidia driver so it's enough for me).

Congrats! I used Google Translate to read the main text.

And I just posted the binary for 0.95.5d, the very last update for this 0.95.5 version. Just what we discussed in the past week, some improvements for the ips support (mainly load_continue support, but also the way the .dat files text is displayed), and the option to mute the sfa3 announcer in sound options.

I didn't know there was a possible crash when loading different games using ips patches in the same session, if it's been reported it was lost, anyway I just fixed it. Yeah from what I remember only 1 collection was serious, it must be the fba pack. But emufrance allowed to fix this load_continue thing, so it's fine too. Found a few oddities in romhacking there : https://www.romhacking.net/?page=hacks&genre=&platform=26&game=&category=&perpage=20&order=&dir=&title=&author=&hacksearch=Go actually you have to rebuild the .dat files manually there, they didn't even include them, the majority is clearly for consoles but there are a few original arcade ips, including : - bublbobl ultra : more a proof of concept than a real bublbobl extension like buble bobble redux, but it's not worthless. - donkey kong : this is the one which made me bring bps patching to raine, although I knew I wouldn't like the graphics, nes graphics are horrible usually, but I was still curious to see it. - strider : some rom fixes from a real fan. he went as far as finding there was a music which should play when out of time in the rom and which never played, and managed to fix the rom to make it play, plus improved a few of the graphics. Maybe I should post at least some of the dat files I rebuilt by hand, but it's not very hard to do. I just enhanced the .dat parser to allow spaces or tabs as separators and any number of them. They have a few street fighter patches which are totally equivalent to some of the cheats here, so they don't seem interesting at all. These patches are clearly to burn some real eeprom and not to be used inside an emulator, but why not use them anyway ?

Yeah nice find, I didn't even notice yesterday. It's fixed, 1 message only now, and it doesn't crash on you when too many ips files ! No idea, but for sure they are very different and not comparable. Maybe one day I'll look into it again... ! For your edited commit, well it was already pushed so it had no effect at all here, but don't worry, I just changed the message on my side... !

I'll take a look later at your kof2003 problem, but this kind of path is begging for problems here : spaces + even simple quotes and [ inside a path, and it's so long it becomes ridiculous. Normally there are workarounds for that and this kind of crazy path is accepted, but I hope you at least tried a simpler path before reporting that.

You need to extract everything that's supplied. Doing just the exe means you miss out on improvements to software lists and to shaders, and probably other things too. Your ini files, cfg files and other transitory things are not affected.

Well... since it's back up at http://classic-shock.1emu.net/ , I may as well unlock this thread again. Perhaps classic-shock can bring happiness to a few more people.

16 years later... holy shit man. Welcome back. But your site is back online! We just forgot to renew the domain in time. Anyway, since this thread is locked... would love if you could send me a PM. Been too long old friend!
