After a 5-year hiatus, Alessandro Scotti has decided to add some big improvements to this ancient Arcade emulator.

 

Version 0.94 (Apr 16, 2011)

Yeah... Tickle is back! This project has been frozen for many years until a few months ago I started doing some work on it again and one little piece at a time it has now grown enough to be released.

 

The most significant changes are:

 

- added emulation of the 6502 CPU, used in Vanguard and Nibbler

- full analog sounds emulation in Space Invaders, samples are no longer needed!

- improved support for Mac OS X (capture screens in PNG format, double buffering for video and more)

- fixed a bad bug in the Z80 emulation, Galaga would not work correctly and it took me one full week to find out why!

- improved volume balancing for the AY-3-8910 emulation

 

As usual new drivers have been added, this set in particular has been choosen because it allowed me to test most of the emulation components:

 

1942, Fantasy, Galaga, New Rally X, Nibbler, Pengo, Rally X, Rolling Crash / Moon Base, Vanguard
