Merry Christmas everyone! Here it is, Nova v0.7.0 is released! v0.7.0 --------------- SH2: Added the TOCR register of FRT. SH2: Added the REF register of BSC. SH2: Added optimization(preliminary) for idle loops. SH2: Rewrote DMAC. SH2: Rewrote INTC(After Burner 2, OutRun). SH2: Rewrote interrupt han

Yes, I'm still working on the next version v0.7. Let's see what improvements have been made. Nova is a 64-bit app now. Optimized memory usage, also fixed the memory leaks in the last version. HLE BIOS was rewritten and re-enabled. Supported more CD image formats including CDG/CDI/CHD/CSO/DAX/NRG/TOC

Hi guys, It has been a long time with no update. I've been working on Nova v0.7 for a long time, lots of things have been changed, the following is a list: 1. Redesigned the architecture of CDBLOCK. 2. CD Drive emulation is more accurate and its behaviors are more close to the original hardware. 3.

Hi, It has been a long time since last release. I'm sorry for the long delay. But hey, I'm not a lazy guy, now I'm back with the brand new version of Nova :D What's new =============== v0.6 --------------- SH2: Implemented Cache and SCI. SH2: Rewrote Power-On procedure.

SCU: Supported irregular(Transfer address is not aligned or transfer count is an odd number) DMA transf

Guys, I'm back, very sorry for absence for a long time. And I'm continue working on the next version v0.1.9. ;)
