Kawaks 1.12

posted in Emulator Release by outsider on Jul 15th, 2001

Kawaks is a CPS-1/2 emulator for windows. Here's what's new in this version: 1.12
  • Sound REALLY fixed. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused by 1.11 1.11
  • That bad, naughty, evil, and overall not very nice sound issue should be fixed now :)) (Jesus, why did GetCurrentPosition have to report bytes instead of samples ?)
  • Modified autoframeskip code to adapt to new timing system. Should be better too, now.
  • Added a system to autodetect for each frame wether sprite masking is needed or not. Since it is not, most of the time, this speeds up things nicely in many games :)
  • Fixed Street Fighter Zero - CPS Changer (Japan 951020) backgrounds (broken in 1.10)
  • Macros for Player 2, Player 3 and Player 4. Have a look at updated Defaultkeys.ini
  • New blitter: Zoom 2x software. In other words, 200% without blur effect. If you like "correct ratio" and not blur, I'd suggest you give a try to this blitter + stretch + eventually fullscreen. Keep in mind that this blitter is however significantly slower than Normal, Alternate scanlines or even regular scanlines.
  • Fixed X-Men Versus Street Fighters hanging when beginning fight against Apocalypse
  • Faster loading for Capcom Sports Club
  • Correct the CRCs for Capcom Sports Club XORs (didn't cause bugs, just reported XORs to be bad in audit)
  • New function to redraw the current frame without the on screen messages. Handy if you want to make a screenshot.
  • Added a few background colors in the menu
  • Added Zoom window 100%/200%/300% in the menu
  • Made the Reset key redefinable, since everyone seems to hate F10 :)
  • The usual batch of comestic changes :) Get it from the Multi Arcade Emulators page.
