Holy Crap! Quzar made a new release!!!!

So yea, I've been working on this for a few months now off and on, have made a couple of changes I feel are important, and so ... yea a new release was had by all.

Here are the changes, straight from the new part of the readme (from frontpage you won't see anything, click comment to read it):

alpha4 (01/18/07):
*after more of eke-eke's changes, the sound stuff now works properly.

alpha3 (01/17/06):
*Slightly newer fame
*put in the code for eke-eke's changes to the sound driver to fix FM sound in some games. Doesn't work properly so it is defined out.

alpha2 (10/26/06):
*Uses DMA for texture transfer, but only partially. Should speed up texture transfer by ~2x
*Uses SQs in more places that affect speed more.

alpha1 (10/22/06):
*Faster assembly twiddling function
*Uses store queues when possible for speedups
*New FAME core from fox68k
*Multilingual Menu - automatically set by the DC's BIOS settings
*Re-Added FPS showing option
*Modified the romlist system, so that it can now read files with spaces in their names (use an | to seperate filename from real name)
*Small speedups in many places

TODO:

*Add switch for mameZ80 and Cz80
*use DMA for sound
*Make menu able to list roms without romlist

For reference, this was built off the july release of gpdc by BlackAura, and includes all files except roms that you need to use it (and more!).

The download is HERE. It includes all files needed, including the source code.

A note to those looking at the source: every change I made is marked somehow (usually by a comment including my name or a similar define).

If you repost this news elsewhere, please do NOT use your own download link. I'd much rather have all downloads go through this original file (I want to be able to track the number of downloads).

Enjoy folks!

How do I burn this CD right so It will read my Dreamcast? Thanks for your time

And thanks for the update.

I used bootdreams to make a Discjuggler image and I just burn the cd now. When I put It In my dreamcast It does not work so I wasted two cds now

How do I do It right? Thanks.

I think you have to scramble the bin file first.
I used a program called File Checker v1.3. Found it on DC help.
To boot I used Dc Hacker and burned a multisession disc (don't need to waste cd's).
It worked.

I was expecting Quzar to include this with his release, but it seems he didn't. So, I'm posting it here.
Reading the helpfile is highly reccommended for those who haven't used the program before.
And uh, The old one isn't exactly compatible with Quzar's release.

EDIT: Nevermind, was looking at the wrong download. >.> It is in there.

EDIT2: Aaaand I just found the obligatory new version bug. Gotta install Visual Studio now... Quzar, you tested it! >.<

EDIT3: It seems that my father decided to do something with all my Installation CDs right before leaving on a 10-day business trip. I'll call him tomorrow. Until then, I'm freaking pissed that I can't do anything about it.
