4DO 1.1.4.0 Beta Released!

fourdo-admin February 13, 2012 9 Comments

This is one a lot of you have been waiting for!

Changes:

  1. 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.

    Regards

      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.
