Nebula v1.91
posted in Emulator Release by outsider on Sep 19th, 2001
Nebula is a CPS-1/2 and Neo Geo emulator for Windows. Here's the changes:
Added a "Smart" romset name recognition, you must enable it setting StrictRomsets=0 in NEBULA.INI and then use the "Find Neogeo" button in the OTHERS menu. It will recognize the romsets with different names than the MAME ones but the files (size, CRC) must be MAME compilant. If nebula is unable to find a match with its internal database it will try to build a new romset (similar to Neoragex import feature) with the files in the zip. Nebula can recognize MVS and MGD dumps, so your old romsets will work now. Note that that feature may cause gfx or game problems because the neogeo dumps aren't homogeneus, so don't mail me about gfx or game problems if you aren't using strict name matches. Remember to hit Scan Roms after looking for neogeo roms.
Corrected X Zoom tables with values checked in the original board.
Corrected Y Zoom tables (You'll need to have the ng-lo.rom file inside your NEOGEO.ZIP file).
Balanced AY and YM volumes.
New interpolation mode for Frecuency control type (Delta-t) ADPCM sound samples, this one is better (and faster) for high pitched samples (for example arina or dandy j's stages in Wakuwak7).
Delta-t samples were always interpolated in previous versions, now interpolation for these samples is only used if it's enabled in the menu. (Having interpolation disabled is faster, but sounds much worse (many audible resampling artifacts) I recommend having interpolation always enabled (it's not much slower))
Added the new Kof99 decrypted set (kof99d), you'll need files from the 3 kof99 romsets, read the MINIFAQ.
Fixed double dragon (and probably many more) FMV intro sound problems.
Added Hotkeys. Configure the button mapping for each hotkey in the HOTKEYS.DAT file (there are separated configs for CPS and neogeo games) and then assign keys in the Control menu to the 6 Hotkeys available (scroll down the control menu to see the keys).
Added a new stretch mode called "Keep aspect" that keeps the original aspect while using the bigger possible screen area (good for vertical games).
Added FreePlay switch to the Machine Settings menu.
Added a Control configuration menu for GUI keys, you can map there the keys you want to use to move the cursor in the GUI/Game menus.
This menu is shown when you select the CONTROL menu and there is no game selected. To deselect the currently selected game, press the right mouse button or the button assigned to "Back" in the GUI keys menu.
Rewritten the rom checking code. Now it's faster and has a progress bar. Anyways, I recommend not to have AutoAnalyze enabled in NEbula.ini due to the big amount of romsets supported, better use the Scan Roms button when you add new roms.
