Créé par Near (ex byuu), Ares est un émulateur multi-systèmes dont le développement a commencé le 14 octobre 2004. C’est un descendant de higan et bsnes. Il se concentre sur la précision et la préservation.
Ares émule les 27 machines suivantes:
– Famicom + Famicom Disk System
– Super Famicom + Super Game Boy
– Nintendo 64
– Game Boy + Game Boy Color
– Game Boy Advance + Game Boy Player
– SG-1000 + SC-3000
– Master System + Game Gear
– Mega Drive + Mega CD
– PC Engine + PC Engine CD + SuperGrafx
– MSX + MSX2
– ColecoVision
– Neo Geo Pocket + Neo Geo Pocket Color
– WonderSwan + WonderSwan Color + SwanCrystal + Pocket Challenge V2
A noter qu’un pack de shaders est disponible ici.
Des packs MSU-1 sont disponibles ici.
Voici les changements depuis la dernière version d’higan:
This is the first official release of ares. The changes for v111-v114 are below:
restructuring:
– the project and core library is now called ares
– the simplified user interface is now called lucia
– the advanced user interface is now called luna
– the game analyzer is now called mia
– Nintendo 64: added incomplete emulation (not compiled by default; no RDP renderer included)
– PC Engine CD: added complete emulation (including Super System Card and Arcade Card support)
– PC Engine: added suport for Populous save RAM
– Super Famicom: added missing SA1 board definition (for boards without BWRAM)
– SG-1000 + SC-3000: $c000-ffff maps to system RAM, not cartridge RAM
– Game Boy Advance: fixed a bug with keypad interrupt handling (keypad array was marked static)
– Famciom: merged Board and Chip classes together
– Famicom: emulated MMC5 audio and MMC5A timer IRQs
– nall/cdrom: added split-file CUE sheet support
– nall/cdrom: added WAV support
– nall/cdrom: added ISO support
– lucia: added a debugger interface (tracing, memory editing, graphics viewing, properties)
– lucia: added PNG screen capture support
– lucia: added tool to mute individual component audio streams
– lucia: support multiple input bindings per virtual input
– ruby/input: added FreeBSD UHID driver for gamepad hotplugging and Xbox 360 hat support
– The actual changelog is several pages long, but I have condensed it heavily here to the most significant changes.
– I’ve also collapsed all of the Nintendo 64 and PC Engine CD support, given that initial core development isn’t very interesting.
