Modeler 0.1.1
posted in Emulator Release by xip on Feb 15th, 2001
A new version of Modeler was released today. Here's what's new:
General
Yet another attempt at the 555 fix. If it doesn't work please post the contents of the "stdout.txt" file created by the emulator.
PCM banking improved. This fixes many missing sound effects in GA2, including the sword swinging and the character select screen noises.
Background graphics greatly improved for Sonic. This and other fixes made Arabian Fight about as playable, so I've enabled it.
"Disable sound" checkbox added to GUI. Note that sound is used to generate the emulator's timing so the 60 FPS limiter is disabled when sound is off. We'll fix this at some point.
Win32 specific
DirectSound driver bugfixed, so sound is much clearer now on Win32 for many soundcards (it was fine for me before with SB Live / LiveWare 3.0, but apparently it wasn't for many others). This may also have caused unnecessary slowdowns on some machines.
Upgraded to the new SDL 1.1.8, which allows us to enable Sidewinder gamepad support (this was only available on Linux in 0.1.0 and 0.1.0a). The "M" button inserts coins and the "Start" button is player 1 start. You should be able to figure out the rest :-)
Grab it at the multi arcade page. Remember, there's a Linux version too. Get it at the arcade emulators for Unix page.
