Ron has again pointed me to news on DCiberia: http://www.rockandaluz.com/~dciberia...hp?storyid=155
Heres the rough translation:
Continuing with the good news that make the summer assortment more, we go to avanzaros brief notes on which already it is being outlined like one of the 2005 revolutions.
This could not be another thing that the F.A.Z.E. Fast and Accurate Z80 Emulator . FOX68K , one of best coders in emulation of CPÚs of 8 and 16 bits for Dreamcast is its creator and we already can advance some new features to you.
The FAZE is port of the emulator of Z80 that has been designed on the basis of another existing Core in X86 already called RAZE . It will maintain a high level of compatibildad at level of APÍs but with the advantage to be totally rewritten in Assembler for SH4 .
Of the at the moment existing cores for Dreamcast, two of most popular are the CZ80 and the MAMEZ80 . Other cores Z80 exist that are used in other emulators of Dreamcast, but these two mentioned stand out by but being adapted. In prinicipio and apróximadamente the FAZE will be 3 times faster that emus present, maintaining a highest level of compatibildad and precisión/rendimiento.
FOX68K it has commented to us that the best thing of the emulation in Dreamcast is about to still to come, but that this Core was necessary to be able to leave and to close with the greater quality of emulation the NEOÂLL , IT SUCKS for DC and the MEGADRIVE emulators , leaving in addition to the door abiertra to other emulators that need the intensive use of the Z80 in DC.
Up to here we told you, the codification progress and the advances already are around 20 % , which has been many weeks of development and at the moment they are even occurring to small adjustments to the FAME (68K) with which the time to dedicate is not all the wished one.
Thank you very much FOX68K by info and we hoped to see your cores in a moment rulando in all emus of Dreamcast, because they are the BEST ones.
Great news for the scene

Ron messaged me on MSN to tell me of a great story at DCiberia (http://www.rockandaluz.com/~dciberia/modules/news/)
Heres a rough google translation:
Enterprise DC it is the first emulator that leaves the Factoria DCiberia and the first game will be the last emulator neither, because with members like Chui, Fox68K, LTK666, Kupra, Quzar and many other or sabeis what lares cooks in these.
Enterprise DC is port and is the first emulator of the powerful computer of the 80, Enterprise 64/128 , micro of 8 bit based on a Z80, if quereis to know what is a Enterprise, teneis more info in Old-Computers.com and 8 Museum of bit.
The emulator is port of the EP128EMU that has been written in C and SDL by Istvan Varga , and is available under license GPL. The Z80 emulation has been written and is © of Kevin Thacker . The implementation of the WD177x (disk to controller) is baseda in the code of ep32 emulator , by Kevin Thacker and Vincze Bela Gyorgy. . Its Web site is: ep128emu.sourceforge.net
All the used code of other emulators is licensed under the terminos of license GPL.
As soon as the SOURCE is prepared first release ALPHA will be published jointly, under license GPL and we will be encatados to improve it as far as possible
This emulator has been carried in a time record, but it has allowed me to work with great cracks like: Mekanaizer, JMD, Fox68K and Troy Davis a.k.a GPF
All my gratefulness by all its support and unconditional aid, by means of which I have learned very many more on the emulation in Dreamcast and in addition we have amused much.
... So despues of the rigor introduction, as it is preparing a stable version and with the single GUI already finished deciros that as always it will be necessary aid to do tests and the tests before it publishes first alpha release public.
At the moment, the emulator incorporates EXDOS 2,1 and the BASIC, the support for TAPE and the SOUND have been deshabilitados in this preliminary version.
During today and tomorrow I will be publishing screenshots and algun video, agradeceria alguuna contribution with software of the Enterprise in the formats is covered, disk or cartridge.
Agradeceros to all those that you were animating and I hope that you like. Like single precise cochair on the other hand to comment that luckily it works in chankast perfectly, but without the keyboard of the DC (necessary) lost stays, so there is to animate to ELSEMI so that it does plugin of keyboard for the Chankast.
Rum (Interested in Beta testing to leave to MP or commentaries in DCiberia)
Great news for the Dreamcast Scene, Thanks to all the coders mentioned above for their work
Thanks again to Ron for the news

News from Kojote
As I am at work right now and can't modify the Giana's Return pages, I am posting a few "work in progress" news here.
The project is still NOT dead
The project has a new coder who will stay unmentioned for now. He is currently in the task of recoding the WHOLE game. As he is busy with regular paid work, this task might take a bit long.
The project has a new gfx artist who will also stay unmentioned for now. He is currently retouching all the graphics of Giana and will be done with most of the retouching by this weekend.
The GP32 version is probably dropped forever, but this is NOT sure yet.
There might be versions for Linux, BeOS, MacOS, PSP, Dreamcast, Saturn and other computers/handhelds/consoles. I (Kojote) currently try to contact Armin Gessert again, who is the copyright holder of "The Great Giana Sisters" and who also kindly allowed us to use his trademark, if he wishes to not create the one or other port due to legality issues. We don't want to harm him and respect him much. Unfortunatly he has not responded to one of my two mails yet.
Due to security reasons, the webboard had to be completly deleted. It is too much work to take care of two boards, so a probably new "Giana's Return" discussion board will be merged with the boards at PD Roms.
Stay tuned for more news...

Rockin-B released a demo for SEGA Saturn introducing his new real-time texture mapping support library allowing a way to change the texture coordinates:
The SEGA Saturn cannot change texture coordinates in game by hardware. This means that textures are pre-mapped and cannot change [...] which is required for some of todays lightning effects. So I started to implement the generation of a texture from a big source texture using texture coordinates and expanded it to a full featured real-time texture mapping support library. Three demos were released and the 3rd new demo is really.....ahm.....really worth to look at, I think.
He provided an AVI recorded via Satourne that gives you at least an impression how the demo will look like if played on real hardware. Download the AVI here
[The AVI] does NOT look like on real Saturn, due to compression and bugs of the Satourne emulator, like black lines between polygons and triangle distortion of quads.
More info, screenshots & download(s) at http://www.rockin-b.de/

Lars Hannig, the author of Ocean Depths for Atari Jaguar, thinks about a Dreamcast version of his new graphic adventure game Eerievale:
Eerievale is a horror adventure game using pre-rendered bitmaps, first person perspective and gameplay wise it's like the traditional point-and-click graphics adventure games.
Screenshots:
http://www.eerievale.de/downloads/shot2.jpg
http://www.eerievale.de/downloads/shot1.jpg
This hobby project started in 2003 and has gained quite a fanbase since then, so I thought it would be good to make the game available on different platforms. The game will probably run at 640x480 24-bit[...] It will be in three languages... German, English and French.
For more info check out the official Eerievale website at http://www.eerievale.de

Thanks to LyingWake, when he gave me his 1st_read.bin Checker v2.0 source code, I can today release the new BINCHECK.DLL, the version v2.0.
Here it's the changes list :
- The code was fully re-written, the DLL is very faster than the old.
- The search algorithm was optimized.
- More strings to search added (from LyingWake).
And, in order to test this DLL, i release another little proggy, BINCHECK.DLL Demo Test v1.0.
Download both here.
