Full Changelog: pureikyubu-10...pureikyubu-11

pureikyubu 1.0

Hi.

We've done a little rebranding. Dolwin is now called pureikyubu (PlayCube in Japanese).

By this event the code base was cleaned up and to somehow get out of the black hole of 0.xxx versions I made version 1.0 (About dialog updated).

Dolwin 0.151

Dolwin 0.151 Release Notes

Fixed a nasty bug with restarting.

Dolwin 0.15

Dolwin 0.15 Release Notes

In short, this release is a new, completely rewritten DSP core.

The release work was evenly spread over previous releases, but the bulk of the new DSP core was implemented in this version.

Luigi's Mansion now comes to the forest scene:

As you can see, there are some problems with the picture quality, that is, there is still work to be done for the next releases.

Enjoy :)

PS. Also keep in mind that there is a nasty bug exists - after starting the game, you need to restart the emulator every time (Dolwin.exe).

Dolwin 0.14

Dolwin 0.14 Release Notes

This release is the beginning of work on improving the graphics system.

• A new component has been added to the emulator - GX, which contains the general code for emulating the command processor (CP)
• Old DolwinVideo code has been cleaned up from old stuff. It is still used as a reserve parachute until a more advanced backend appears.
• In parallel, improvements have been made in DSP emulation, but there is still a lot of work to be done in this area
• Fixed minor bugs that got out after splitting the emulator core and user interface.

Some games show slight progress: Luigi's Mansion now shows 1 screen further from the main menu, and Wario Ware even reaches the game, but with big slowdowns and graphical bugs. You can even hear how Wario is unhappy with this circumstance (there is sound in the game).
