Kega Lazarus SE Release 5 Released!
Kega Lazarus is a Sega Master System, Game Gear, SG-1000, SC-3000, Genesis & SegaCD emulator for Windows.
News:
- Major changes to dual 68000 core. Completely seperated Main and Sub CPU emulation, before they used the same code. This allows me to try out a clever trick I thought up, which should hopefully mean that Perfect Sync is slightly faster, and works better. Time will tell This may also affect Genesis emulation, but hopefully it didn't break anything.
- Rewritten SegaCD PCM emulation (again)
- Rewritten SegaCD CDD emulation (again)
- Rewrite to parts of the SegaCD Gate Array
- Rewrite to parts of the SegaCD Graphics Conversion functions.
- Rewritten SegaCD CD SubSystem, timing etc. should now work much better than before.
- SegaCD "ReadAhead" now goes up to 8. Some drives may work better but I recommend trying a lower value first.
- Made improvements to the SegaCD ISO/BIN reader.
- Added BIN/CUE support.
- Fixed Genesis GameGenie .PAT file save issue.
- Rewrote Genesis/SegaCD VDP DMA.
- Many other little tweaks and fixes which I can't quite remember.
