RAINE v0.40.0

posted in Emulator Release by narvick on Mar 28th, 2004

Tux has updated his popular multiple arcade emulator, RAINE, today. This is a pretty big version. Here's what's new:
  • It has a brand new CPU emulator: 6502/65c02
  • It has much more new games that previous versions, and in all styles:
    • Shooters: Metafox, Twin Eagle, Eight Forces, Gundhara (third person shooter), Rezon, War of Aero, Zing Zing Zip
    • Breakout: Thunder and Lightning (but no mouse control)
    • Excellent Tron clone where you can jump over the walls: Wits
    • Fighting with swords: Blandia
    • Platform/shooter: J. J. Squawkers
    • Golf: US Classic Golf (bad color, and bad playability)
    • Fighting: DownTown (very bad playability)
    • Wrestling (!): Mat Mania, and its clone "Exciting Hour", the only wrestling game I ever enjoyed playing in the arcades!
All these games except Mat Mania are Seta games, and Seta appears in the drivers menu of the GUI to find them more easily. Except all these games we have:
  • Fixed the Rastan crash in v0.39.4
  • Fixed the frame buffer driver initialization for the Linux version (the frame buffer was unusable in fact)
  • The "bg_image" option in raine.cfg now accepts jpeg images!
  • New bg image created with POV-Ray (maybe I overdid it a little... !!!)
