As if this was a surprise, the Dreamcast emulator nullDC is now officially axed and over. The source code has been released on Google Code, which is great news for would-be future developers.

--Initial commit

--Most of the source is still missing, will be added later on (so yeah, this

won't compile)

 

This includes all the code for the CORE nullDC, whats missing are the plugins

and the emitter

 

**** PLEASE NOTE ****

The source is old. Most of it dates back to 2006, with large parts from 2005 or

2004. There are MANY typos all over the place. There is no uniform coding style

(nullDC was my first project using C/C++, and it began as a C# project)

 

Most of the code is written by me, parts of it are written by ZeZu, and maby

others (?). Psyman was our main tester during all these years (With various

others joining for short time periods) and he's slowly getting into editing the

source to fix bugs ( as i no longer do it myself).

 

Yes, the code is ugly, hacky, buggy and often just plain wrong -- but still

better than not released, righty ?

 

I hope this is as much help to others as it has been to me

--rest of the code--

drkpvr: 3d rendering plugin (aka nullPVR, nullDC PVR, nullDC PowerVR)

nullAICA: aica(+dsp) plugin (aka sdlaica, nullDC AICA)

EmptyAICA: a set of hacks to make apps thinking theres an aica when there's none

;p

nullDC_GUI: duh, the gui ...

ImgReader: support for gdi, cdi (via pfctoc), and mds/nrg

drkMapleDevices: the hacky implementation of maple devices. There are a few much

nicer plugins around, i'l probably kill this one and commit one of the others

later on ;p

vbaARM: this is an arm core based on vba's arm. Its much more recent, and

maintained than the older arm core (Altho considering when i ported it its

probably old by now ...)

emitter: the emitter that i developed for nullDC

With this you can build a working nullDC executable ~

Ootake, a Turbo Grafx 16 emulator for Windows has been updated today. Here's what's new in this release:

• The pronunciation balance of the wave memory sound source has been deliberately adjusted. In the stage 2 of "Daimakaimura (Ghouls'n Ghosts)" etc., the problem was solved that the sound had shut somewhat oneself up compared with the version before (generated by v2.39). As a result, I think that tone quality improved more.
  
• The speed and timing were brought close to the movement of a real machine. In "Dynastic Hero", the problem that the screen has fallen into disorder (generated from recent Ver.) was solved. In the opening demo of "Tengai Makyou II", the problem that the lower side of the screen fell into disorder momentarily was solved. In "F1 Circus '92", the problem that the order display fell into disorder momentarily was solved.
  
• When "DE-JA" is started, a part of CD-ROM access processing becomes slowness near a real machine. In the visual scene, the problem that the screen shakes was solved. * Sometimes falling into disorder when the screen is rewritten is similar to a real machine.
  
• When you start the file of the image of the system card directly by not "CD-ROM" menu start but "Hu-Card" menu, operation changes into the CD-ROM mode (CD-DA Play, Save-filename at each game).
  
• Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.
  
• The execution file for "Windows 98/Me" was opened to the public. The operation test is not done. Please see "Readme98.txt" in the ZIP file about details and notes, etc. http://www.ouma.jp/file/Ootake240-for98.zip

uBeeDisk v1.4.0

A command line tool for copying floppy disks and images from one to another. The program is intended for Microbee disks but is also useful for other formats and is based on the LibDsk library.

New for this release:

* Added --verbose option to set console output reporting level. The default level is 1 which makes all console messages active like previous versions. If set to 0 then only error messages, interaction prompts and processes intended to convey information will be output.

* Added batch and shell scripts for common tasks involving disk images.

* Added SLAX package to the distribution packages.

Changes:

* No disk description prompting if the output type is not a disk image, this includes types: floppy, ntwdm, remote, rcpmfs.

* Added more types to be excluded when creating 'info', and '.err' files. Only output types that are images will be able to create these files.

* Option parameters converted to lower case for --itype, --otype, --format, --datarate, --detect and --disk.

Fixed:

* Fixed problems with sector ID, read and write functions failing because of unsupported functions in the driver type in use. The changes will make use of an alternative function appropriate for the driver to be used instead. This has fixed issues when using the 'raw' and 'remote' driver as an input and possibly other driver types.
