For the 3-4 people that still happen to visit the Zzap!Raine site, I have some news. I always thought that the website "didn't really age very well" and the menu icons in particular were very old and quite ugly. So I redesigned all icons with a Bubble Bobble style, and also fixed the general site layout to make it look better on modern web browsers. However the site counts about 120 independent HTML pages and I do not have the time to fix all of them at once, so the main pages were fixed and the rest will be done at a later stage. The site logo has also been redesigned, as well as other minor icons. I hope you like it. Link to site: https://raine.1emulation.com/zzapraine/index.html Link to image:

Basically the same work done for Shinobi is now being done for Golden Axe by the same person. I would not be surprised to see more Sega System 16 games added to the Neogeo game list in the future.

And it is progressing quite fast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASo9UisNr1M

The official Double Dragon for Neo-geo is a one-one-one fighting game, based on the movie. It is a sequel to the old game from 1987 - which is a scrolling fighting game. This homebrew version is a remake of the 1987 game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZVB2tR8CXc

And the magazines have finally been delivered! Time for a few group photos!

A limited run of about 90 copies of each of the first 13 issues of Zzap!Raine has been printed on paper. This was to satisfy about 90 fans that had requested the PDFs to be printed at high quality on paper. These paper copies are just like the PDFs but also contain one A3 poster as a 'centrepiece' in each magazine, with the 'story/making of' of the poster in its back page. I prepared the printable files, got quotations from a print shop in Italy, collected the money from the 90 fans, and ordered. This is 100% not for profit and we are paying just what the cost of printing and shipping is. The Zzap!Raine Team is doing this all for free for the benefit of these fans I have received the first batch of 3 magazines from the print shop today, 88 copies of each of issue 7, 8 and 10. The prints of the remaining 10 magazines will be delivered in the next week or so. Photos at the below Facebook post, and more photos will be printed as I receive the other magazines: https://www.facebook.com/ZzapRaine/posts/pfbid02MaoEArpK3tsphBPpP9sNLTJKjeE1wLnwG5p9emyvb9evzMn6jM31rCLqjU5NM7mRl

Aha I sure remember the day you differentiated the 32 and 64 bit by adding the sh2 emulation to one and not the other. I just didn't realise this release was about extending the sh2 emulation to the 64 bit build. I will make sure to post about this new release on the Zzap!Raine Facebook page when the fix is available. Thanks for the excellent work! L.

A new version of RAINE is always very welcome! What is the major effect of the updated sh2 emulation? Are there new games supported by RAINE, or does this change improves the general quality of emulation to the previously available games?

It really is the end of an era

And issue 11 is now online and the project is now officially complete Future updates will be on the Zzap!Raine Facebook page (and reposted here on the forum) Download from: https://raine.1emulation.com/zzapraine/issues.html

Over the past few months I also published Issue 9, Special Issue Christmas 2003, and Issue 10. One only issue remains: Issue 11 - it will be published on 30 June, then the project will be complete https://raine.1emulation.com/zzapraine/issues.html

Shared on the Zzap!Raine Facebook page (in Italian, yes, but Facebook does the translation...) https://www.facebook.com/ZzapRaine/posts/pfbid02EUdssW7smAUFMFifFYmn3iLohiYXJKABLorTMtWDSXeN7b7H7xEjvs7FeZDQttNl

Can't wait to try it

So is the hotfix available for download already? Or will it be today? And it also emulates SF2Mix?
