This is one a lot of you have been waiting for!
Changes:
- Added support for high-resolution (640×480) rendering. You can find the option for the in the “4DO Options” screen, under the “Advanced” tab. This is only of value for 3D games. Additionally, since each frame takes 4 times as long to process, it will cost a lot of CPU! I recommend increasing your audio buffer as well if you enable this.
Here’s a quick visual glance at the differences:
I’d finally gotten enough control over the timing nuances and audio behavior to look into and enable these advanced features from the later revisions of FreeDO. I must stress that, like in FreeDO, this option hogs the CPU quite a bit. This is due to the fact that all graphics processing is essentially software rendering. Not many games handle this well. For the record, I found that Road Rash and Star Fighter both performed well.
So, that wraps up a big block of feature-related changes I intended to knock out. For a while, I intend to take a break from adding new features for a bit and concentrate again on bug fixes.
Also, anybody interested in helping me develop or test 4DO, please introduce yourself in the forums!
Please enjoy!

Just to let you know. I was complaining about the need to install SlimDX !!! Shame on me 😉
Seriously, I was very happy to see that you included SlimDX.dll into the zip, which saved me from installing the complete SlimDX stuff, which I hate to do!
It’s perfect now and your emulator is constantly improving, so thanks for sharing your valuable work with us.
Good luck and have a nice day, whereever you are.

I find new 3do emulator http://arts-union.my1.ru/
I’ve come across this one before. I don’t see many changes with it. It confuses me, because I know Altmer is working on a different “Phoenix” emulator that’s a complete rewrite and uses high-level emulation (HLE). I’m not sure that this is the same Phoenix.
I’ve run into that one before. It does not fix the crash n burn bug like it says it does. I am pretty sure it is fake to make it look like it is the real Phoenix. The motive though… I am not sure.
That and it says it’s a completely new emulator when in fact, it is not. It is clearly FreeDO based even thought it claims it is not. Somebody is Trolling over there.
Johnny, give me your icq number!
