Reicast libretro updates - Shenmue 1/2 now runs! Plus Reicast Hackathon event July 6-8 (Switzerland)
🕑 Added 2018-06-29 21:49:10 +0000 UTC UPDATE 1/7/2018: Dynarec crashes/bugs should now be fixed on OSX/macOS and Linux as well!It has only been a day since we released our blog post detailing all of the improvements the Reicast core has received, but in less than a day a lot has happened that requires an updated blog post –
64-bit dynarec - Self-modifying code
Shenmue 1/2, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and Heavy Metal Geomatrix are all problematic games that are known to be hard to emulate due to them being prone to relying on self modifying code. The 64-bit dynarec did not have any kind of block checking yet to compensate for this.
skmp has finally added this functionality to the 64-bit dynarec, and as a result, Shenmue 1/2 should now be fully playable, as well as games like Heavy Metal Geomatrix and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2.
