Kawaks v1.08

posted in Emulator Release by swampgas on Jul 4th, 2001

CPS1/2 emulator Kawaks received an update today...huge list of changes:
  • Added option to display only romsets that are available in the load game dialog box.
  • Fixed Alien vs. Predator (Euro 940520) driver (sound bugs)
  • Fixed CPS1 sprite issues (Punisher bus wheels, Andor disappearing when he juumps, etc)
  • Fixed YM2152 (CPS1 music) tempo, but that causes new bugs: some sound codes mysteriously vanish now. That means sometimes, no music will play, or some sfx won't be played.
  • Much improved Z80/68000 synchronisation, which allows the following :
  • Fixed QSound tempo. Faster music, music synced to intro in VSav, etc etc
  • Overclocked CPS2 games to 12.8MHz (instead of theorical 11.8MHz)
  • Now lagging not only palette but entire VRAM. Fixes some layer/palette errors.
  • Various CPS1 fixes
  • Added a setting in the INI to control sound emulation frequency (44100 default)
  • New option in the INI to control the sound playback.
  • Now compiled with Turbo68K Version 0.5 (The Cpu Core Formerly Known As Genital68K)
  • Redid the Kawaks splash screen code. Should display things correctly for vertical games and it looks better in fullscreen.
  • New Alternate scanlines blitter.
  • New image enhancement blitters : 2xSai, Super2xSai, Eagle.
  • Changed the way the video blitters are handled (many internal changes to allow the future blitters).
  • Added an extra set of resolutions in the INI to differenciate fullscreen resolution for normal blitter which needs a lower res from enhanced blitters (which need a twice bigger resolution) Grab it from the Multi-Arcade emulators. Thanks ViciGamer!
