Raine v0.35

posted in Emulator Release by bdlou on Mar 4th, 2002

A new version of RAINE was released. This version adds no new games, but incorporates a large amount of fixes and updates. Here is a list of the major changes:
  • Added qsound support for the cps1 games which can use it.
  • Fixed music tempo with a good timer emulation in batrider, battle garega, gunbird, sengoku ace, battle kroadj, and every cps1 game. This replaces the dirty hack of ``fast_tp2_sound'' of previous versions. Also, music now goes faster in Buble boble when you run out of time...
  • Reverted to Seal for the sound emulation in the dos version, so pci soundcards should work better now. (Seal was used for the dos version in raine before 0.30). Seal is also the default for the win32 version now, so that soundcards having problems with the accelerated directx driver can work with raine.
  • Added priorities emulation in the cps1 video emulation, so you don't pass through trees anymore in games like Cadillacs and dinosaurs... The code is not extremely fast yet, but it's working well. Also fixed sf2rb2 protection, a stupid rendering bug in the scroll3 layer, and slammasters is finally fully playable. Added speed hacks to most cps1 games, and added keyboard controls to Forgotten worlds (Buttons 2 and 3 can be used instead of the mouse to move the gun - your choice. But the mouse gives better precision, of course).
You can try it out in the Multi Arcade Emulators area.
