Makaron Test 9/4
Makaron 9/4 is a new Dreamcast emulator for Windows. Looks like dknute was infact pulling an April Fools joke regarding the release of Makaron 10. This Dreamcast emulator is still in the testing stages but is able to run some commercial games, but still should be considered WIP and probably isn’t as advanced as nullDC or Chankast (at this point). Make sure you read the Makaron readme.txt file for info on configuring this Dreamcast emulator. Makaron 9/4 has the following changes:
I’d urge you to wait for T10 as this is a bastard mix of current (broken) dev and older T9/2. I got it to compile and run but that’s about it - not tested. It does include the DMA changes that should make WinCE games more stable but I make no guarantees.
It’s still using old GD code which means (with the DMA changes I’ve made) it will most likely break Street Fighter Alpha and some other games.
Use the supplied plugins and Maple.ini to get vibration support and use F12 menu to enable VMU LCD overlay. Also, make sure to change sorting mode because it defaults to “Alternate” which turned out not to work for some games.
This release goes beyond experimental, it’s downright partisan :) I’m not kiding you - unless you like ‘em rough stay clear. I’d like to have some feedback on vibration support for upcoming T10 and that’s the only reason it exists.
PS. No changes to full-screen mode in this one, and no support for 16:X aspect ratios. And Yuki, stick to your T9/3 for now :)

Since I got this annoying error everytime I try this now I am going to copy/paste the error:
2008-04-05 19:15:34 > Makaron: (-1012) in module Makaron: WinMain - Makaron.Przygotuj -> MMAP.WczytajROM (ROM\BIOS_USA.bin)
Believe me.. I have the rom…
No matter how many times I try (renaming N-times the bios and the flash) it keeps giving me this annoying error, written in foreign language….
Maybe you should ask on his website: http://dknute.livejournal.com
