Damn yo, this is rockin'.
He's been releasing so fast lately it's hard to keep up with it all.

Nice to see a 2D/general display speedup in there too. Damn, I wish my computer wasn't broken at the moment...

[conquerall691]

Holy ****, martin's fast. Only 2 weeks and 3 days for a NEW version!

Man, what a great new.
No more transparency - Confirmed.
There are some bugs, where there was transparency (at least for Pokemon Ranger) seems like the graphics aren't perfect but it's A LOT better - we can see everything now! =)

Good job Martin.

EDIT: With other games, there are no graphic problems where, until this version, there was transparency.

If you wish to dispute this then there must be a battle to define the winner. Being the current champion Gladiator@ has pickings on the battle location and stipulations of the match.

Aw man, that sucks. And I'm guessing ZX Advent has a similar problem? Well, for now I'll just stick with 2.5b to play ZX, I guess.

[RockmanForte]

No, Megaman ZX Advent do not have a problems and transparency have been fixed so everything's fine.

Megaman ZX is perfectly as well expect just discoloration on the intro and in the background at some levels that's all.

OK, but it still seems to make sense to play ZX with 2.5b, and ZX Advent with 2.5c, based on what I've heard...right? Are there any actual advantages to playing ZX with 2.5c?

[conquerall691]

Absolutely. The transparency problem for the intro boss and the character when you are in a bright background is fixed

[pearhk]

Grabbing it, Thanks a ton!
