Retrocade is a multi-arcade game emulator, similar to MAME. It supports fewer games than MAME does (about 120 or so) but the emulation cores were designed for SPEED! The "business" part of the code was written almost entirely in assembly language and it shows! In addition to the speed advantage over MAME, Retrocade offers a very attractive and futuristic GUI of its own making its oveall package very impressive. If you're a fan of MAME or a fan of old arcade games, give it a try! The currently released version is *alpha* level code. Please be sure to read the ReadMe.OS2 file before running it for the first time. It currently has graphics and sound support, but lacks mouse and joystick support (which are coming soon). I'm releasing this version to get early feedback, so feel free to contact me about it. Visit: http://emuos2.vintagegaming.com to download Retrocade for OS/2. Fixed in this version: * COMPLETE GRAPHICS OVERHAUL! All graphics glitches (Space Invaders, etc.) should now be GONE! * Scrolling games (1942, etc.) are now displayed correctly. * Games that wouldn't start up due to problems with the graphics sizing are completely fixed. * the -16bpp command line parameter should now work (though it is not recommended because it will slow things down and not make the games look any better). * Should work in all 16, 24, and 32 bit per pixel screen modes, though the 24 bpp modes are *REALLY* slow. 16 bit modes are fastest, but the 32 bit mode is quite fast too. ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
