SainT v1.99 is out!

January 25, 2005 by Brume

News illustration image New SainT version is available. For the first time of the emulation history, it allows to run Froggies Over The Fence and Transbeauce II demos. Also a lot of games are newly supported. Here are the words from the author about the new version of the emulator:

. Real 6301 low level keyboard CPU emulator written by Vincent Joguin ( Now Froggies' demo and Transbeauce2 are working !!)
. -weird- MFP "0" data register behavior when strangly programmed emulated. ( Froggie's demo )
. noisy YM sound sometimes when resetting fixed.
. TimerB when shifter disabled bug fixed ( Oxygene screen in Transbeauce2 )
. bug fix in video combo box frequency selector ( sort removed )


In order to run the first disk of Transbeauce II, please use the patched version you will find on Leonard website. The original disks of Froggies Over The Fence runs perfectly (but there still a bug with the reset screen). You can find them on old PaCidemo.

Go go! Grab latest version of SainT there!

Panic demo updated

January 16, 2005 by Brume

News illustration image The Panic demo - that was released some weeks ago - is just coming to be updated by Paulo Simoes. There were some troubles with Steem and real hardware. This new version corrects the bugs since the author has changed one byte to have the top border timer controled removal to occur 28 CPU cycles earlier. So the troubles with the borders have vanished, and the demo works fine now. Whenever you encounter problems, feel free to report any bug on the forum.

Cerebral Vortex Website

January 14, 2005 by Brume

News illustration image After the new preview of Poong, Cerebral Vortex is just coming to update fully his website. It features a very cool new design! Poong fans will probably notice a short video is also available, too. This one was recorded by Xerus using his own background for the game.
Also remember the new name of the crew is Cerebral Vortex Software Development, since they decided recently to care about games and softwares only (no more demos? really?).

So feel free to visit the new site of CVSD now!

Random review

I wouldn't call dungeon master my favourite ST game, because I find the dungeon environment quickly tiring, but it is certainly in my top 10 for sentimental reasons if nothing else. It has entertained me enough to still be thinking about it 20 years on, and I believe that the best epitaph I can write is...
