New SixtyForce version!!!

[Chrono Archangel]

All you Mac lovers are in for a treat. SixtyForce updated there N64 emu for mac. the new release is a beta and does contain bugs. here is what the SixtyForce website had to say.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I was away for the summer, but now I'm back and working on sixtyforce! If you're into bleeding edge fun, you can take a sneak peek at the new release. But I warn you: There's still plenty of debugging to be done

download sixtyforce 0.7.0 beta 2 (August 22, 2003)

compatibility list for 0.7.0

What's new in 0.7 beta 2:

- fixed the OpenGL bug that prevented sixtyforce from running
- attempted a fix at the OS 9 freezer bug
- fnew packaging and support for plugins
- audio acceleration is now supported through plugins
- new audio buffering scheme smooths audio a bit
- fixed a number of minor bugs

Other beta 2 notes:

- the other graphic plugins have been temporarily broken by beta 2's new plugin stuff. I will fix them ASAP.
- OS 9's OpenGL can't handle the new combiner stuff in the sixtyforce graphics plugin


Notes:

- Yes, Zelda runs, but the graphics are still a bit messed up. They may (or may not) look better with different graphic plugins. Getting this fixed is a high-priority!

- The new interface code is still glitchy. Please tell me about crashes or any general weirdness (besides compatibility problems).

- sixtyforce runs on OS 9, but I haven't fully debugged sixtyforce on OS 9. I am very interested in hearing about problems on OS 9..

No. Either that or MOL is acting like a retard. Mupen64 is better anyways :P

I've put a lot of work into sixtyforce, and with web-hosting, etc. it actually costs me money to put out new releases. The final 0.7 release should be more then worth it.

Is that legal? Is this turning into VGS or bleem!, but this time around with a N64 emulator? I heard the mactendo64 author is turning to mupen64 or something for his next version. Let's hope so, he has promising stuff.

[Regulus]

okay now, thats just not right.

[Keith]

why is it not right, there have been a few shareware emulators around.

[Chrono Archangel]

i actually dont mind....its just like if he was asking for donations...its not like he's limiting the emu to anything

[Regulus]

Oh. I thought that you had to pay to use it.

nono if you register it remvoes a logo or something like that... i see nothing illegal with that.

[Andrew Hruska]
