Forgotten Worlds (World?) [The Guru]

TG16 / PCE emulator

2008/05/02 1.47 released

- CPU(HuC6280) processing part was sped up. I think that processing lightened in some measure of a personal computer environment so not fast.

- The repetition processing of the CD-DA sound was brought close to a real machine. In the visual scene of "Arunamu no Kiba", the problem that had stopped at a pitch-dark screen occasionally (generated from a recent version) was solved.

- In "Popful Mail", the weight of processing was reduced in some measure with PC not fast.

- In the visual scene(one place) of "Nekketsu Legend Baseballer", the interrupted voice was corrected.

- At Full-Screen mode, when setting it to the resolution of 1600x1200 or more, the bug to which the screen had not been correctly occasionally displayed was corrected.

- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

 

2008/05/02 1.48 released

- v1.47 had a miserable bug. The bug of the CPU(HuC6280) emulation (In "Motoroader", the screen display falls into disorder, etc.) was corrected.
