First Kiss Story can't be fixed because it's not a bug that it doesn't show overlayed text and images properly. It's simply another case of 32-bit float to 24-bit integer Z-buffer resolution loss. Fortunately it can be worked around - so now sorting mode can be switched to 'alternate' for games that require that. I'm trying to determine if this can be made default setting, or will it break other games.

Another fix and Chocolat - Maid Cafe Curio doesn't cut off bottom part of the picture anymore - well aren't you glad, huh?

Something for soccer fans. Now, these games have some ugly sorting/priority issues but nothing can be done about that right now. Hey, at least they boot and play.

A flight simulator where you don't get to shoot anything down. Now where is the fun in that? :) Anyway, due to slight FPU inaccuracies the plane slowly loses altitude during training mission and might crash before tutorial is over. Should be playable though, because during normal gameplay you have full control and can simply level if necessary.

Baldr Force EXE had same screen size problem as Chocolat. In addition to that there were some DMA issues that caused texture corruption. Fixed.
I've yet to test if this does anything for those unstable Windows CE games.
By the way, vibration works in this game as well. I don't really test for this, but in this case it was obvious since it's used very early in the game and is pretty hard to miss.

Yet another sim - I've got quite a few of those. You'd think those are the easiest to emulate, just some simple 2D/3D. Most of them are like that, true, but some are pretty tough cases :)

UPDATE: Well what do you know, the new sorting mode fixed 18 Wheeler, no more pitch black title screen and such.




And some more goods from Yuki (I'm sooo behind with this stuff now...)

Incredible progress!! Thanks for the dedication and work. Drooling for the next release. Let us know about the WinCE games - whethere or not your DMA fixes did anything. Thanks!!

If Sega Rally 2 is any indication it should be much better now. I'll go for ideal model on this DMA in case it still crashes frequently - it's pretty fast one so there is little need to have it speed limited (especially if the limiter breaks things).

Please, can you give a more detailed readme.txt - english with a step-by-step way to use the Makaron. It looks really good but it just does not work.
Thank you :)

Try using "MKfro". Its a frontend so you don't have to mess with the inis. It is found back on the main journal page, posted a few weeks ago. And make sure you read every word of the readme. :)

Hopefully, a GUI will be implemented so people won't have such issues and can just enjoy using this awesome emu!!

that's perfect work....

That's... crazy. Some of the problems you detail here is stuff that I wouldn't even know where to start looking. I guess that's why you're making tons of progress on a Dreamcast emulator and I'm not. :-P

Oh, why must you tease us so, with all the pretty screenshots and no new releases? It's very hard for us ! :D

He had a new release like two weeks ago!

It'll be done when it's done, don't push him! :-P

Your lives aren't complete without an release of Makaron every week or what? Just WAIT, it can't be THAT hard.
