[DC] Demul 0.4.1 WIP Release

CaH4e3 Today, 21:57
Ахтунг!
It is time to submit yet another version of the suffering Russian-Soviet
emulator Drimkasta Demul.

I hope you have waited this just as we are. The same would have liked that
the new version lives up your hopes, as well as ours. After a year and a half
develop again became quite active phase, so this is not the latest version
for this year. I do not want to disappoint you, but it is still far from
final and ideal solution. Much work, but because now emulators Drima already
quite a lot, including actively developing, is where to draw ideas and what
to strive.

It was agreed to build this audience for its comprehensive testing, as the
bug is still left quite a lot, you should at least know where they occur. So
the main page emulator is not updated, release spread here in the form of
bare without soprovodilovki and additional. The main functions and operating
principles remain unchanged from previous versions, all features described in
the Old readme.txt. Of innovations can be identified only:

In most notably: BIOS files are now directly from romseta MAME and must lie
in a folder in the files ROMS DC.ZIP, as in most mothers.
The kernel has been rewritten several times, that was some advance work
(especially at Core2Duo).
In connection with the above earned games for WinCE. True, not all and not
completely.
Sound transformed anew, for the time being tested at the games, he sounds
almost perfect.
Without any changes managed to combine the strengths in one emulator two
systems at once: in fact, by itself автомат Drimkast and Naomiarcade
based on it.
Now it is possible to change the region stations directly from the menu
emulator, respectively, the need for change biosa and flash-file with him
entirely disappears.
A small korektirovka processing peaks triangles gave correction nektoryh
problems on maps Nvidia c driver OpenGL (see Sonic 2).
By trifles corrected some old bugs (but not all).

Slightly more details on the above:

WinCE works only in the mode Intepreter, so quite slow and not always
bezglyuchno. As soon as the realization of MMU will be combined with dynamic
rekompilyatorom, it will be possible to talk about a certain playability, but
not earlier.
BORG speed the withdrawal of personnel, as before, working through plug-GPU
option, although not quite perfect, if you need it. GPU little rewriting, so
much emulation disperse it still will not give.
The sound is so perfect in its mass, how bad in some places. Because we
tested at this time, some games not to reproduce the sounds of strikes, and
additional rounds. I hope with your help we can find more such problems,
locate them and correct. This requires simply tell us about possible mistakes
to make the sound, and the work of emulation in general. I recall that GPU
remained the same, so that part bOlshaya graphic bugs remained on the ground,
so do not be quick to shout about the fact that you have something does not
work, perhaps we already know what′s wrong and are working on the problem.
Of the currently available at the time available for Roma Naomi, supported
only options in the form of ROMov, and only those who have a standard
controller. Mahjong and fishing has not worked because neemuliruemosti
management. Viruta strayker also showed lack of willingness to work, so not
much radio. To start the game, must be standardized romsety naomi of MAME,
together with packaging biosov ROMS in a folder in the main directory
emulator. I would like to note that available in the files romsete naomi, few
are working. The vast majority indicated as NO_DUMP and instead file contains
garbage-filler. So do not be quick to complain that you can not run.
Dopodlinno know that the work Cosmic Smash and Toy Fighter.

Even I could have forgotten something. As the repository moved a couple of
times, a complete list of changes could be traced vryadli. When will reach
their hands to upgrade ofsayta, will be updated documentation, a list of
changes and compatibility lists. You need support as always, patience and
willingness to test the current version, reporting on all the gaps, you have
found.

So, forward:
