Kawaks 1.06
posted in Emulator Release by xip on Jun 24th, 2001
Here are the changes to Kawaks:
Fix for Mercs' backgrounds.
Added Forgotten Worlds (USA)
Added Lost Worlds (Japan)
Strider starts, now. Still will freeze after title screen, of after you try starting a new game. Odd, that game used to work in old versions...
Pixel format autodetection. No need to mess with INI anymore.
Kawaks will now refuse to run if you are not using a 16bits or 32bits desktop palette, since those are the only one supported at the moment.
Kawaks will now refuse to switch to fullscreen if the video mode specified in the ini is to small for the game screen to fit.
Fixed another S3/S4, which affected Double mode, with no 50% scanlines. I expect diplay to be correct for everyone now.
New autoframeskip code. Should perform a lot better on slower machines
CPS1 sound ! Yup, that's right. But YM2151 (that's music) requires a good CPU.
Options to enable/disable OKIM6295 and/or YM2151
Changed many things in the menus. "Emulation" menu was getting too crowded.
Added a 4th rompath (requested by someone. Don't ask a 5th one however)
Changed the way the "This is a cps2 only feature" message is displayed when you try to save/load state with a CPS1 game: If you are playing, the message will appear in the game area instead of poping up that annoying message box
Enter/Enter Sound glitch should be VERY rare now. If you have a very slow PC and still experience choppyness, I included a setting to control the sound buffer size in the INI. You may want to fiddle with it. Slower PCs may have luck increasing it.
Sounds good. Get it at the multi arcade page.
