Modeler v0.0.5 - The first Model1 & System32 emu

**** MODEL 1 ONLY RELEASE ****


WHAT'S GOING ON?
****************
Nothing particular. Last three weeks I was intrigued by Model 1 emulation, and this is the result. There are 4 known Model1 games, and 3 of them have been dumped. From those 3, I can get nice 2D graphics. This recalls the results obtained by Virtua (Model 2 emulator) before it was discontinued. I eventually ended up to the same point: I "simply" miss the 3D graphics. 
Give me some time, however, I am not going to drop this (for now at least).


HOW TO USE
**********
THIS EMU WORKS ****ONLY**** WITH 16BIT DESKTOP RESOLUTION. DirectX needed.

Put the executable it into a directory. Then create a "ROMS" directory and put your zipped ROMS there. The emu has ZIP support.

Run the executable, select the game, select color format, and run it.
DDraw output window suxx as hell, you'll see.

Semi-verified Inputs: 

1 - Insert coin
5 - Start button
A/S/D/E - Punch/kick buttons (Virtua Fighter)
LEFT/RIGHT - You know this

To exit, press ESC.

There is no sound emulation at all.

In Virtua Racing, track selection is made with analog devices, not yet emulated. So you have to wait the countdown if you want to "see" the race.


SUPPORTED ROMS
**************
Virtua Fighter
Virtua Racing
Star Wars Arcade


FAQ
***

Q: The games do not work! Why you always release not working emulators?
A: I'm not a good coder. Sorry. You are lucky because there are so good coders around, go playing their neat emulators.


Q: Can you add <any feature here>, please?
A: No. The only thing I will work on will be the 3D emulation. Maybe the sound too, if I get some decent synchronization. But no more than this.


Q: I've found a bug in your emulator!
A: Wow, but I do not want to bug fix anything for now. I need to make the game working before starting any fix.


Q: What about System 32 emulation?
A: It has been disabled in this release since I'm not working on here anymore. As you probably know, that part of the emulator is continued by another (very talented) coder. You should ask him.




If you still have something to ask, try mailing some lines to ivilded@swipnet.se. You might be lucky and get an answer.



REQUESTS
******** 
- If someone can dump Wing War (the last undumped Model 1 game), please do it. It would surely help me.
- If you are the dumper of Virtua Fighter and/or Start Wars Arcade, please contact Ivilded. I need to get in touch with you for some questions.
- Can someone **CONFIRM** without **ANY DOUBT** that in Virtua Fighter, in the character selection screen, the faces of the characters that appear on the screen are STATIC (that is, not animated in any way)?
