enabled [pagefault]

More accurate way of calculating timing for CPU cycles [pagefault]

Begin work of socket server for automation [pagefault]

Update copyright date and change text to 'ZSNES Team' on startup [pagefault, ipher]

-z now disables stereo sound insted of enabling it, because it is on by default anyway [pagefault]

SDL port is now way more CPU usage friendly, no longer uses 100% [kode54, pagefault]

have put together 0.87u4. I wasn't really happy with u3 due to the number of broken Atari/Midway drivers so here is a u4 update which corrects that amongst other things.

 

0.87u4

 

General Improvements

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

 

Fixed bugs introduced in u3 causing Atari / Midway drivers to crash [Olivier Galibert]

 

Changed where source filename based config files are stored to avoid conflicts with

set name configs [René Single]

 

Changes the static function implementations in memory.h to inline [brad Oliver]

 

Improvements to Hyper Neogeo 64 rendering, 3d graphics can now be seen although

emulation is still incomplete and Fatal Fury WA still needs a hack to boot

[Andrew Gardner, Rasterizing code provided in part by Andrew Zaferakis]

 

Code to decrypt FD1094 CPU 317-0092 in states 0x00-0xff (0x00 is reset, 0x10 is IRQ)

this is the CPU used by tetris, code is not hooked up yet [Nicola Salmoria]

 

Changed instr86.c based on comment below:

In the cpu/i86 code emulating the CMPSW instruction there is what seems to

be a cut+paste bug: It calls the SUBB() macro where it should call SUBW().

Line 524 of instr86.c.

[Juergen Buchmueller]

General Improvements

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

 

Exidy Games update [Aaron Giles]

This update is mainly a bunch of cleanup on the classic Exidy drivers. The

memory maps are merged now, and I've gone through and removed a bunch of RAM

that wasn't actually present on the real boards. I also fixed up the input

ports on several of the bootlegs.

 

Cinematronics Vector driver update [Aaron Giles]

* completely rewrote the CCPU core to be much simpler and follow MAME

semantics

* rewrote the CCPU disassembler to use the "official" syntax

* added newly dug-up prototype game QB-3

* now require the CCPU PROMs for all the games

* added sound to Barrier, Star Hawk, War of the Worlds, and Boxing Bugs

(note that samples don't exist yet, but I'm working with Zonn Moore to get

them for everything except Barrier)

* rewrote sound routines for all the games based on schematics and Zonn's

documentation

* fixed sound in Demon (was seriously wrong)

* changed sound handling in Solar Quest to play the music by looping a

square wave instead of using canned samples

* added 64-level support for Solar Quest

* added proper color support for Boxing Bugs and War of the Worlds

* added star twinkle effects (not really visible without my future update to

vector.c)

* made wotw the black & white hardware which was commonly seen as a Star

Castle upgrade

* added wotwc as the color hardware version (same ROMs)

* cleaned up and fixed input ports for all the games

 

Namco IC update [Phil Stroffolino]

Fixes to the advanced ROZ chip used by System FL, Namco NB2, and some Namco System 2

games. Huge improvements to Mach Breakers, and game specific ROZ hacks have been removed.

 

Fixes for the ROZ system used in older System2 games; in particular Dragon Blade glitches

are no more.

 

Abstraction for the tilemap system used in many Namco titles.

 

Merged memory maps.

 

The ROZ fixes unfortunately use a handful of custom code, to work around limitations of

tilemap.c's roz support. I'll improve tilemap.c when I get a chance.

 

Improvements to jalmah.c [Angelo Salese]

 

Improvements to sound in recalh and intcup94 [David Haywood]

 

Massive compiler warnings cleanup for gcc 3.4.2 [Olivier Galibert]

 

Added some hooks to C 68k core in preparation for Sega decryption updates [Olivier Galibert]

 

Hooked up GNET bios roms so boot screen shows [smf]

 

Improvement to (se)xfiles driver, now shows some startup screens [Tomasz Slanina]

King of Fighters (Hacked)

2004: Special Edition

King of Fighters 2004 was sold on eBay which was a Hacked King of Fighters. Many have confirmed it as a FAKE, however, this video should change your mind. The video was recorded from a Cell Phone. However you can see the game still in action. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2003 is like King of Fighters 2004. Just like CTHD 2003, it is a Hack, the moves are the same. It is a bad hack. For KOF 2004SP, the background has more color then CTHD 2003. In fact, CTHD 2003 is 16 colors. KOF 2004SP has far more than 16 colors. But the system of the game and the moves didn't change at all. Also you'll find nude women in one of the background. It is not much different than KOF 2002. The backgrounds are just really the main difference.
