SegaOutrun:
What a lovely day! A new version of Demul was released today. Its an Alpha, so dont expect solid performance. Numerous games have been added, a card reader system and numerous bug fixes. one of the game finally playable is Star Wars Pod Racer. I havent figured out all the controls yet. Now back to testing the new version.

This is definitely the best news I've heard in a while! Thanks for posting...now to see if they ever implemented 1 button exit...sigh.

BadMouth:
SegaOutrun, thank you for keeping us updated on emulation news!!!  :cheers:

I can't wait until my home renovations have progressed enough to get a driving cab set back up.

MrThunderwing:
Awesome news. I downloaded it after I got home from work today and have just been giving it a quick bash. Star Wars runs pretty well, apart from a bit of wobbly audio during gameplay and Nascar seems much, much improved now, getting a pretty solid 58 - 60 fps with none of the background music suffering any distortion now (although the engine no longer makes any noise). I seem to be getting a worse frame rate in Planet Harriers now though, oddly enough, although the audio doesn't appear to be as distorted as before, although it's still pretty mangled.

Also, this new version doesn't seem to like my previously working Intial D roms, I'm getting messages about missing roms stuff in all of them, apart from the Cycroft version that loads but won't go past an error screen.

Also, I can't figure out how to get Ferrari F355 working. Has anyone had any joy getting the twin version to load? Mine boots up two separate screens that both seem to do some stuff, but ultimately don't actually connect up.

jdevane:
what kind of specs (pc) do you guys have?
