Raine by Richard Bush Raine is an emulator, it emulates some M68000 and M68020 arcade games and is mainly focused on Taito and Jaleco games hardware. It started as an experiment with the Rainbow Islands romset, dumped by Aracorn/Romlist. Raine can emulate many nice games now, and new games (previously unemulated) are appearing weekly. Sound is also getting better, mainly thanks to the work of Hiromitsu Shioya.

It started as an experiment with the Rainbow Islands romset, dumped by Aracorn/Romlist. Raine can emulate many nice games now, and new games (previously unemulated) are appearing weekly. Sound is also getting better, mainly thanks to the work of Hiromitsu Shioya. Emulating cpu's and sound chips takes quite a lot of coding time, so, like most of the current emulators, Raine uses emulation engines already available when possible. Raine uses the following: CPU: M68020: Adapted from Bernd Schmidt's UAE 68020 emulator. M68000: Neill Corlett's Starscream 68000 emulator. Z80: Neil Bradley's MZ80 emulator. SOUND: YM2610: Tatsuyuki Satoh and Hiromitsu Shioya. YM2151: Jarek Burczynski's YM2151 emulator. YM2203: Tatsuyuki Satoh. YM3812: Carl-Henrik Skaarstedt's YM3812 emulator (or via SB OPL chip). YM3526: See YM3812. M6295: Emulation by Hiromitsu Shioya. MSM5205: Emulation by Hiromitsu Shioya. Requirements ------------ Estimated requirements: - Pentium Class Processor (p120+) - 16Mb+ of ram - Win9x/MS-DOS - 'DOS friendly' sound card - Graphics card (VESA2 or better support recommended) - Compatible arcade romsets It's just possible to run on a 486 as reported by Victor Epitropou (depends on the game). A p120 should be just about ok for the near future of raine, although it might not be that smooth in something like Chase HQ (Dual 68000, hundreds of zoomed sprites onscreen, ym2610 etc...). Installing roms --------------- Before playing any game, you need to find the correct romset. Try the links at the end of this text or a search engine. If you can't find them, too bad. When you have downloaded some games you can either: a) Put the zipped rom in the raine\ziproms\ directory b) Unzip the roms to raine\<gamename>\ - If you get stuck, learn about directories first (also read rainefaq.txt). Zip Support ----------- You also can place zipped copies of the romsets in the 'ziproms' subdirectory (eg. raine\ziproms). Raine will then access the zip to load the roms, saving a lot of diskspace. Zip support is now internal to Raine (using zlib+minizip), this should be faster than before. Rom directories --------------- You can now configure three different rom paths via the gui or config file (very useful if you have some roms on CD). Also, you can configure three different ziprom paths. To do this, click on 'change game', then on 'dirs'. Either type in the paths, or use the file selector (click the small square buttons). Command Line Usage ------------------ USE: Raine <options> þ Supported Options: -game [gamename] : Select a game to load (see game list below) -help : Show list of games and command line options -joystick [type] : Select joystick type (see list in raine.cfg) -limitspeed : Limit Emulation speed (to 60fps) -gamelist : List games to GameList.txt -nogui : Disable GUI (useful for frontends) -leds : Enable keyboard LED usage -noleds : Disable keyboard LED usage -romcheck <gamename> : Check roms are valid for a game, or all games -screenx [width] : Select screen width -screeny [height] : Select screen height -screenmode [type] : Select screen type (see list in raine.cfg) -v [number] : Select videomode (use -screenx/y/mode now instead) Other options are available only from the GUI/config file for now. .
