"emuControlCenter is an emulator and rom start center for more than 100 retro and nextgen arcade, console, handheld and computer systems"

Hi There,

 

As you may notice, there are not many updates (eccLive) released, this is not that we have stopped… , but we are very busy with the 0.9.8 version, wich includes many new features.

You can sign-up HERE and share your ideas!

 

The ECC ImageDB has been purged and started over again!

We have formatted the HD, and installed all imagepacks we have on the ECC imagepack site back again, also all thumbs are created, so on the ROMDB site you see the small JPG file…click on that and you get the PNG, this saves bandwith and loadtime on the ECC ImageDB server, you can visit the ECC ROMDB HERE

 

There are 67.105 images (134.210 incl. thumbs) on our imageserver today!, it’s growing bigger and bigger

 

DID YOU KNOW that with the latest ECC 0.9.8 WIP04, you can download images for a rom in the rom context menu, without downloading BIG imagepacks!

 

We have also uploaded the MAME v0.124b imagepacks for ECC, you can find these HERE

 

MAME imagepacks:

 

- ingame play 01

- ingame title

- flyer

- flyer 02 (marquees)

- media icon

- media storage (cabinet)

- media storage 02 (cpanel)

 

A total of 17.345 MAME images have been added to the ECC ImageDB!!

 

With the latest WIP04 we have also included .CUE support for CD/DVD rips in the ECC options, so this should make it easy to run CUE files.

Sinclair Spectrum emulator for the DS.

ZXDS 0.8.0 beta 1 (19.6.2008)

 

+ TR-DOS emulation, allowing loading of TRD/SCL disks (including autoboot).

+ For/next loops in TZX files are now supported.

+ Screenshot support, for SCR/BMP saving and SCR loading.

+ Color/grayscale palette toggle for more nostalgic look.

+ Mode for black and white display of ink/paper only, without attributes.

+ AY ACB and ABC stereo modes and narrow/wide stereo separation.

+ Choice of three relative AY and speaker volume levels.

* Changed AY volume tables to match the real machine more closely.

* Implemented fake low-pass AY filter to avoid aliasing issues in some tunes.

* Fixed setting of AY envelope register even if it doesn't change, fixes few sound effects.

* Fixed sound clamping when all channels played at full volume and speaker was off.

* Few other subtle changes (initial config autosave, even more safe shutdown).

Thanks to Emu-France for the news!

This is very interesting for MAME fans, who want new arcade games emulated....

the author will submit the driver the MAMEDev

 

 

the communication work between CPU and 3D DSP should be limited to the master M68000, if the address mapping is done in the shared memory, master CPU would be disturbed by the slave one.

 

Left, center and right screens have separate programs and boards, each would work independantly, how these 3 boards communicate and coordinate is yet unknown.

 

About projection angles of left and right screen. The angle is correct on "DRIVER'S EYES" title screen, however in the tracks of demo mode it doesn't seem correct.

 

The game also features a pretty nice 2D sprite layer, which still doesn't show up yet.

it is known that the CPU does constantly feed the 2D video memory some meaningful and logical data. mame system21 driver does not emulate this 2D sprite layer, we have to use namcoic and namco system-II emulator instead, possibly they are not compatible with system21.
