Glide64 is a graphics plugin for N64 emulators such as Project64, 1964 and Mupen64. It uses the 3dfx Glide3x API, and it supports many games. If you don't have a 3dfx card, you can use a Glide Wrapper.

Updated version of Glide64 0.8 "Wonder" is ready for download.

 

What's new:

 

* Fixed many bugs in combiners (mostly for Voodoo 4/5).

* Fixed bug in large textures support, which caused texture distortion in few games, e.g. Yoshi's Story.

* Fixed texrects with zero height.

* Hack, which I used to enable videos in Resident Evil 2, is proved to be useful for some other games to show previously hidden graphics. For example, you now can see race map before race start in LEGO Racers.

* Hardware frame buffer emulation is tweaked to support all effects in Paper Mario. Now this game works almost flawless on Voodoo 4/5. It is recommended to use Mupen for this game with "Get frame buffer info" enabled to get correct background in the main menu (this feature is finally works too).

 

This release also contains updated version of Hacktarux's glide3x wrapper, which fixes fog problems with latest ATI drivers. Updated versions of special ini files from Federelli and olivieryuyu are included too.

 

For those people, who wait Glide64 to be ported on other API, I can confirm, that this work is in my future plans, but not in the near future plans. As far as I can do with glide everything I want, everything DirectX plugins can do and even more, I have no personal reasons to do yet-another-DirectX-plugin. All I can do for you now is to release Glide64 sources, so all my know-how are now opened. I tried to make the code cleaner, at least at these parts, which can be useful for other developers. Although, it is still conglomeration of hacks and heuristics someplace Latest sources of Hacktarux's glide3x wrapper are released too. They include almost working implementation of texture frame buffer functionality, which is required for hardware frame buffer emulation. If you have OpenGL programming experience, you may try to complete it.

Changes from RuMSX V0.32 to V0.33

 

* RUMSXEMU.ZIP (*updated*) has been changed and must be downloaded.

* RUMSXUNI.ZIP (*updated*) contains a trial-version of the RuMSX V0.33 unicode build (MSXW.EXE), which supports world-wide character sets in the single file. This file is NOT part of the InstallShield-version.

* Since V0.29 RuMSX supports a "My MSX" folder. This feature is disabled by default and has to be enabled by separate tools!

* Many problems since V0.32 fixed: conceptual bugs in the interrupt handling are now solved! "Zanac", "Zanac 3", "Super Laydock Last Attack 2" and "F1 Spirit 3D Special" are working again (at least as good as before).

* The ROM-type "Generic MegaROM (with SCC, KONAMI 8 KByte)" was defined incorrectly. Bank 1 (&H4000-5FFF) is now fixed, otherwise it would not work on MSX2+ and TurboR.

Also: no Konami-ROM is of this type: detection corrected!

* One display frame has been skipped always, even if 0-Skip has been configured

* Screen 8 had wrong colors in HiRes-mode

DAEMON TOOLS V4.00 released

 

Dear DT-Community,

 

today, we release the new V4.00.

 

As we already heard from our customers, it fixes indeed most or even all blacklists - however, it is STILL a SCSI-Emulator, therefore it's still necessary to remove present IDE-Drives!

 

As nearly all protections now block ALL SCSI-Drives, no matter if REAL or VIRTUAL, you need to DISABLE your ide-drives! This version is more or less only a "next step", it does NOT contain an IDE-Jammer atm. However, we are working on it and will hopefully have it ready soon. So be warned - do NOT complain about the "lack" of the IDE-Jammer-Device. We release it now, as is. It fullfilles its job as long as no IDE is present in System or you otherwise block that IDE-nodes. After all it's STILL free!

 

In order to keep FREE distribution of DAEMON Tools we need to make one more important change: we offer an option to install client-side advertising software applications:

-"DAEMON Tools Searchbar"- that has integrated DAEMON Tools functionality and also relevant text links

OR/AND

-"Save Now" software module, which delivers a limited number of behaviorally targeted and contextually relevant coupons and comparative shopping results directly to consumer's desktop - without compromising the privacy, security or smooth functioning of peoples' computers!

No URL hijacking or redirects!

These software does not collect or transmit consumers' personally identifiable information. But unlike virtually all other behavioral targeting companies, it does not transmit detailed records of consumers' browsing and purchasing histories or compile databases of their behavioral data to share with third parties, nor does it any type of user profiling!

This software has been independently audited by Richard Purcell (former Chief Privacy Officer of Microsoft and current Chairman of TrustE) to ensure the accuracy of our privacy claims. You can read a summary (http://www.whenu.com/pc_role_audit.html) of the findings or download the full report (http://www.whenu.com/CPGPrivacyAuditOfWhenU.pdf).

We set up a special forum so please post in THAT forum only about questions, concerns or anything else that is related to these software. The forum's name is "DAEMON Tools Searchbar".

 

In order to support FREE distribution of DAEMON Tools we highly encourage you at least to try out this optional software! (you can remove it anytime later when you wish: via "Control Panel"-> "Add/Remove Programs")

 

We leave that decision to you, so please don't blame us that we did it that way. It was a compromise to continue the free support - we would much appreciate it if you install that ADWARE-stuff. We setup a special forum so please post in THAT forum only about questions, concerns or anything else that is related to that ADWARE. The forum's name is "DAEMON Tools Searchbar".

 

To sum it up:

- NO IDE-Jammer atm - we are working on it! No ETA for it - it's done when it's done!

- ADWARE INCLUDED - you can, however, UNCHECK that ADWARE at installation!

 

The changelog for V4:

 

- complete redesign from scratch

 

- support of 4 virtual drives

 

- ONLY X32-supported now. X64 will follow

 

- Drivername randomly generated on each machine (not finished yet)

 

- Drive-vendor and versionnumber randomly generated

 

- Complete new emulation architecture

 

- DCP (DaemonCodeProtect) to make analyses harder and increase development time for malicious anti-DT tools

 

- Digital signature verification of applications who are trusted to access DT in secure mode

 

- AutoInsertNotification fully implemented (can be turned on/off at ControlPanel)

 

- Dropped: MS-Installer, DT now use modificated NullsoftInstaller

 

- Dropped: analog sound support (as Windows 2000 and above do not need this feature)

 

- supports all popular copyprotections

 

Again: This version is an "in between" step to fix latest issues not only with protections but also many other issues and installation-problems.

We work hard to release soon next update!
