DEmul was the second Dreamcast emulator for Windows ever to be released that actually played commercial games.  DEmul started to development early in 2004 year by Wind, but just Chankcast got canceled. Now DEmul is able to run most commercial releases by various groups all along with homebrew demos and free software. DEmul is still imperfect and incomplete. A lot of work still needed. Sound, timing and graphics need improvement and speed up.  This WIP update of DEmul has the following changes:

- added debug version of the emulator. Debugger turns on automatically in Interpreter mode;
- added option to launch GPU and SPU plugins in separate threads. On multicore CPUs this can add about 20-30% of speed. However SPU plugin in this mode may give unpredictable results;
- added function render-to-texture. REZ, RE:CV, CT, ILLBLEED and some other games should look much better now;
- added smoothing of paletted textures. Ikaruga looks as it should now;
- fixed AICA DMA, improved sound synchronization;
- added new DMA for PVR2. Sonic Shuffle now reaches ingame;
- fixed bugs in GD-ROM DMA;
- fixed launch of WINCE GD-ROM;
- added option to turn on DSP in SPU plugin.
