Freedo 2.02????
Guys, I was browsing through the old Freedo foruns and found a link posted by Max, that redirects the page to some russian-freedo-dev-forum.
They talk about the new versions of the program there, and the updates maded so far. Even about a Open GL version.
Here's the google translated link:

What do you think about that?

Yes, klogg you're right. Altmer (Max) has made some new stuff with emulator. And the stage of alfa test has end. At this moment emulator manage to lunch (and you can really play) games what in past versions can not work correctly - SPACE HULK (not stuck any more in close combat), MICROCOSM - playable again, PABBLE BEACH GOLF LINKS - do not show error and not shutdown emulator anymore. And many other great stuff. Like: save/load state, joustick pluggin system & e.t.c.
So come see it all at: http://forum.arts-union.ru and enjoy
BTW to run emulator you need now more powerfull PC then before
P.S. Sorry for my english

As I don't speak (nor understand) Russian, I'm just going to post this here
WOW! this version is great! It eliminated a LOT of sound skipping in my games and most of the are actually playable! This is coming really close to the 3DO Blaster (minus the windows 3.1 thing )
Many thanks to the persons who made this and to the original FreeDO crew!
P.S. Save state is a great feature.

Im sure it would but i couldnt be bothered to figure it out really. As soon as I saw killing time only running 40fps and sound skipping again (like all versions after 1.7) I stopped caring. but im on vista if anyone wants to try and tell me how to get the words to show up right and maybe I will try again if I have the time.
PS did anyone ever figure out the exact cause of that bug in previous versions after 1.7? quadcore processors? vista 32-bit? 1.7 works great for me, fullspeed easily.

How I figured out (by my experience), on Vista new version - runs awful When the beta-test begins - I've tested emulator on CoreQuad - and I must say it was GEAT! Full speed, no sound bugs, full screen, 60 fps. But when I tried to test the same game on the same PC with Vista - it was disaster: top fps - 40 and sound bugs was was rewarded from Microsoft
So if you wanna have good game - play it on XP
PS. About "how to get the words to show up right" - if you don't want to install russian language (how already advised Zombie13), I'll try to translate some basic options of emulator...

Not a bug and not related to Vista either. I only get ???s as well. Reason is simple: It's not compiled as unicode. XP and on are unicode-only and have a conversion layer for non-unicode applications, but that doesn't work well. Should be fixable with Microsoft's AppLocale Utility (just google for apploc).BryWI wrote:I guess that bug is a vista thing then. Must be something in the code thats making it act up weird with vista.

Power doesn't really matter, it runs worse on my more powerful PC than my wussy one. Like the original, it depends on the actual setup you have. The original team never released what they were making it on/for so we are kinda in the dark on this one.

A little update from Altmer Go on, check it out: http://forum.arts-union.ru/index.php on beta-test topic. In emulator added option to change ARM frequency
