additional information
info 0.102u5 [?]

0.69a [?]

WIP:
  • 0.111u6: MooglyGuy fixed Knights of Valour 2 - Game now playable.
  • 0.105u4: Fixed sound1 rom address to $800000. Added missing ARM7 CPU3 to the clones.
  • 1st May 2006: David Haywood - Been doing some work with ElSemi updating the Thumb support in the ARM core based on the Nebula code. As a result these are improved (but don't work properly due to various core bugs). They also run at about 25% speed because the ARM emulation is very demanding. Thanks to Mooglyguy for the original Thumb support (see Martial Masters and Knights of Valour 2).
  • 0.104u5: R. Belmont hooked up ARM7 protection CPU (20MhZ) in KOV2. Boots but does not run or play due to the Thumb sign problems.
  • 0.102u5: Added Knights of Valour 2 and clones Knights of Valour 2 (106) and Knights of Valour 2 Plus - Nine Dragons.
  • 0.69a: Added Knights of Valour 2 Plus - Nine Dragons (Testdriver).
Other Emulators:
  • Nebula
