- With Windows7/Vista, the problem that the drawing had been delayed of some
frames was solved. As a result, I think that the reaction after the JoyPad
is operated became it as well as WindowsXP.
* This is a specification of Vista/7 that should scold (the delay of three
frames is permitted). In game software for all WindowsXP(Direct3D),
this delay happens. It is necessary to change the video card driver's
setting to solve it. I brought the method together on the following
site.
PC Engine emulator "Ootake" Factor that Win7/Vista is avoided from game player
- "Disable Aero (No Time-Lag, Recommend)" and "Use Aero (Time-Lag exists)"
were added to "Screen" menu. The delay of the display seems to happen
whenever the game for Direct3D is played on Windows7/Vista Aero(desktop
that can be made transparent etc.).
Because the delay spoils the interest of the action game and the shooting
game, play by "Disable Aero" is strongly recommended.
Moreover, it is possible to switch quickly with [Ctrl + F12] key.
- When setting it to the size of the window "x4" (Or, full-screen 1280x1024
or more), and, when "Setting->Screen->Special Scanlined" has been
selected, the bug that the color of the screen was not correctly displayed
was corrected.
- With Windows7/Vista, the best processing method of V-Sync is distinguished
by the automatic operation. As a result, "Win7/Vista Use Auto-V-Sync" of
"Setting->Screen" menu became unnecessary.
- When "Screen->FullScreen Customize->FullScreen Resolution Auto Change"
menu is used (for chiefly 15kHz display), the bug not to be able to do
resolution switch smoothly (generated from v0.96) was corrected.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.
+ The execution file for "Windows 98/Me" was opened to the public. The
operation test is not done. Please see "Readme98.txt" in the ZIP file

So yeah, just a heads up, we have another nutcase goin about editing the resources on emulators again,.

this time, as is stated in the title, its epsxe 1.7.1, some obvious markers to its fakeness, comes through the fact the so called "dev", couldn't write a change list if his life depended on it, let alone make it believeable..... and the fact he only has so far posted it on a rom site.

....not going to post the site... but Any threads regarding this release will likely either be ignored or closed as there are no possible official forks of epsxe, being a closed source project, and the devs preferred not to post it at shady sites, and I have no way to contact the developer since the epsxe mail domain went down when our lovely host did its server swap.

Im sure there will be a 1.7.1 at some point, but the so called fixes in this emufake don't add up. (not to mention the official builds don't use 0.5MB of padding at the end of the file)

The Team behind Yabuse a Sega Saturn emulator for various platforms has released a new version. The Sega Saturn emulator is the first of its kind as it's emulating the complex processes of the Sega Saturn which is much harder than it looks, and even harder to run on the limited hardware of the Wii.

What's New?

* can play repeatedly
* fix displaying more
* high resolution version (highreso.dol)

ver. 0.9.10 alpha6 - Oct. 29, 2009
