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
