Emulator Release: Ootake 2.01

cibomatto2002

Windows 10
PCEngine/Turbo Grafx 16/PCE CD/TG16 CD6 emulator for Windows have been updated recently. Changes:
- It corresponded to Windows "DirectX 9.0c", and drawing by "Direct3D" became possible. In a lot of PC environments, I think that "Display Image Quality", "Display Speed (load reduction to the personal computer)", "Tone Quality of a built-in sound (stability of the tempo and the tone reproduction)", and "Input Reaction Speed of the JoyPad" improved.
- Improvement of "Display Image Quality"...
The quality of bi-liner filtering (jaggy is made unremarkable) processing has improved by using Direct3D. Moreover, in "Windows Vista", the filter processing became possible, and it corresponded to "Aero", too.
- Improvement of "Display Speed"...
A personal computer not fast might have come to work in some measure comfortably. Especially, the effect might be large in the personal computer equipped with the video chips other than made by NVIDIA(2D is originally high-speed).
- Improvement of "Tone Quality"...
Accuracy by which the timing of 1/60 seconds is measured has improved by using Direct3D. As a result, processing of a built-in sound approaches the axis of the time of a real machine, and, it became a tone near real machine more.
- Improvement of "Input Reaction Speed"...
A detailed setting was done, and it stuck to the limit of one frame more.
- On the option screen of the start ("Option" button under the left after Ootake starts), some set items were added. Moreover, "Light(Fast)" button and "Default" button were set up.
-- If your personal computer is not fast, push "Light(Fast)" button. Afterwards, push "SET" button. Then, operation becomes light(fast) set. However, the screen might flicker when scrolling because it is not V-Sync(vertical synchronization). Therefore, set only the item of "V-Sync" (the 3rd from top) to "V-Sync 60Hz (Beauty,Default)" after pushing "Light(Fast)" button if it is possible.
- "Direct3D" and "DirectDraw" menu were added to "Setting->Screen" menu. When "DirectDraw" is selected, it becomes the same drawing as the old version (v1.69 former). Moreover, the detail of each drawing method can be set. Please see the manual (Open it from "Info" menu) for details of a set item.
- "PC Power Saving" setting of "Setting" menu was abolished. Because it entered the best CPU use state in default.
- The speed and timing were brought close to a real machine more. In "World Stadium" and "World Stadium '91", when the ball hits the bat, the problem that one frame screen has fallen into disorder (generated by a recent version) was solved. I think that it approached a real machine by the timing of operation in a lot of other games.
- The stability of the CD-ROM access processing has been improved.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

- In the personal computer environment without the runtime component of "Visual C++ 2008", it operated. (Other content doesn't have the change from v2.00.)

As many of you know this emulator updates almost every week or so so this news may be old by the time you go to the link :)
