Shared on the Zzap!Raine Facebook page (in Italian, yes, but Facebook does the translation...) https://www.facebook.com/ZzapRaine/posts/pfbid02EUdssW7smAUFMFifFYmn3iLohiYXJKABLorTMtWDSXeN7b7H7xEjvs7FeZDQttNl

Can't wait to try it

So is the hotfix available for download already? Or will it be today? And it also emulates SF2Mix?

The Zzap!Raine PDF project will be presented on a live streaming on AntaGamers (in Italian only) - at 9.30pm Italian time today, 12 March 2024 Link: https://www.youtube.com/@AntaGamersVideo/streams

Zzap!Raine Issue 8 is now free as a PDF for download! All issues 1 to 8 (including Anniversary Issue 1) are available at: https://raine.1emulation.com/zzapraine/issues.html

Just read this from the latest version of MAME, released today: "The microcontroller program for Taito’s KiKi KaiKai was recently extracted. This contains a substantial amount of game logic, allowing the simulation code previously used by MAME to be retired and giving more confidence that the emulation is accurate." Question for Tux: would it be possible / a good idea/ do you have any interest to implement this in RAINE which, I presume, uses simulated logic for that MCU (and therefore not accurate)?

Excellent job - posted on the Zzap!Raine Facebook page, too

Hi I havent downloaded the latest version of Raine, but noticed graphic decoding glitches in Pengo and Pengo2u - both occurring in the demo when the austral aurora is shown. Was this present in old versions of Raine? I believe this is the first time I noticed this bug. Tried Raine 0.96.5 x64 on Windows

Two more issues were released in November and December: Issue 6 and Special First Anniversary. Issue 7 is almost ready and will be published at the end of January. https://raine.1emulation.com/zzapraine/issues.html Cheers

That's excellent news! I have posted it onto the Zzap!Raine facebook page

Issue 4 is now online available for free download Link: https://raine.1emulation.com/zzapraine/issues.html Issue 5 is almost ready and will be published before end of October 2023

This is an excellent release and thanks so much for this! I look forward to seeing the same changes for sh2 reflected in the Win-x64 build at some point. I will enjoy the Win-x32 version in the meantime I really wish this is not the end of your commitment to Raine And I will also post the update to the official Zzap!Raine Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ZzapRaine

Issue 3 is now available for download!! https://raine.1emulation.com/zzapraine/issues.html And issue 4 is already in the works... will be published in October! Enjoy!

And issue 2 is now ready for download! https://raine.1emulation.com/zzapraine/issues.html Issue 3 is in the works already... (will be published early in September)

Starting from today, when browsing Zzap!Raine you will have two options: - the "old" web-based reviews in English, that were made with old HTML technology in 2002-2004 and all pages basically look the same. - free downloadable PDF magazines, approximately 10-20 pages each (6-10 MBytes), in Italian. You can then print them yourself on A4 printer, if you like. We just received approval from the owners of the Zzap!64 logo/intellectual property so this new PDF project is an official "son of Zzap!". Issue 1 is ready for download, Issue 2 is in the works and I anticipate issuing a new PDF every month. There are 13 issues (1-11 and 2 Christmas specials) so this will keep me busy making PDFs for about a year. Anyway, stay tuned. Thanks Tux and the 1emulation team for assistance with the server and your support BOOKMARK THIS LINK: https://raine.1emulation.com/zzapraine/issues.html

Yeh, it takes too much hassle to maintain the Facebook page in English - and particularly when the majority of visitors would be Italian regardless. Think about the positives: Raine as an emulator will have an little fan club in Italy for a change

That's correct. There's a lot to fix and as you know I have never been happy with the English translation. Back to Italian is the only way to make the magazine really enjoyable.

Got it. The most juicy news of the day is that I am producing actual PDFs of the old Zzap!Raine issues - downloadable for free. As soon as they are ready, I will share them with Tux for sharing through the Zzap!Raine website. Issue 1 is almost ready. The next issue won't be long in the works...

I am not too sure if you need to be logged to Facebook to view a page. The page is "public" in the sense that you don't need to be registered (to the page) such as 'private groups'. If you have a Facebook account (and are logged in), the page should be accessible without any issues. I have no idea if the page is visible even if you are not logged in... (or don't have any accounts at all).

Hello! Just informing that Zzap!Raine now has a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ZzapRaine/ The page will be used to share updates on Raine (new versions of the emulator, bug fixes, etc.) and the Zzap!Raine magazine (new issues, updates to the website) as well as new reviews of Raine-emulated games. Since the staff is all Italian and the Zzap! community is predominantly Italian, we have opted to post in Italian. Facebook however offers automatic translation so... You are most welcome to like and follow the page And I promise that something good is already happening in the Zzap!Raine world and it will be unveiled on the Facebook page a little bit at a time.

It's been a major rehaul actually. But it was well worth the effort! Now the website is much easier to browse and has new icons and pieces of information that make it clearer. Thanks for your help Tux! Link to Zzap!Raine: https://raine.1emulation.com/zzapraine/index.html And the magazines are at: https://raine.1emulation.com/zzapraine/issues.html L.

Unfortunately I have a limitation of 75KBytes per photo. I had to reduce them to 20% of the original size Anyway 1. I still fail to receive notifications of replies to my posts (despite the 'follow topic' checkbox is ticked) 2. Extra copies of the magazine are now available for sale and shipping worldwide! 75 copies available and there will be NO reprints in the future. This is the last chance to buy a copy of the magazine :) Link to purchase: https://oboli.zzapmagazine.it/product/erogazione-liberale-per-zzapraine12/ (select 'estero con postamail internazionale' as shipping option 'opzioni di spedizione') Any questions please email me at lucantignano AT gmail.com as I would not be notified of comments here heck :(

And...
