The PC-Engine / TurboGrafx-16 - Ootake emulator has been updated.
- The sound volume balance has been adjusted to more closely match the real hardware - Added "Early games Use Old System Card" to the CD-ROM menu. Among the early CD-ROM2 titles released before the launch of the Super CD-ROM2, games that appear to have been developed for System Card v1.0 will automatically boot using the older system card (the one set as Old System Card). If you do not have an image file of v1.0, please uncheck this option - Added "Arcade0 Stretched" to the Screen menu. In the 256-pixel horizontal mode, the display uses an aspect ratio that provides dot-by-dot(1:1 pixel mapping) rendering. Unlike "Non-Stretched", black bars appear on the left and right sides. For games that operate in modes of 320 pixels or wider, the image will be displayed slightly narrower horizontally compared to "Arcade1 Stretched" - Added "Auto Aspect Ratio (Gradius II with Arcade0 Stretched)" to the Setting->Improve menu. When playing "Gradius II" with the Arcade0 Stretched display mode, only the PCE-exclusive opening and ending scenes are shown using the pixel aspect ratio of Real Stretched instead of dot-by-dot (1:1 pixel mapping)- -- Fixed an issue in the opening visual scene of "Cosmic Fantasy" where the ship graphics were not displayed correctly. The sprite rendering limitations of the original hardware are now properly reproduced - Fixed an issue where a game installed from CD could not be recognized correctly after its game title was renamed, if the new name contained certain full-width characters such as "ソ" - Corrected the game title recognition for the following CD-ROM titles: - "Yokoyama Mitsuteru Sangokushi (J)" - "Yokoyama Mitsuteru Shin Sangokushi (J)" - "Kagami no Kuni no Legend (J)", and ""Ultra Box Soukangou (J)" If save data from an older version cannot be loaded due to the game title change, please manually rename the save data file. After saving once, you can confirm the new file name - Various minor issues have been fixed and improvements have been made

The PC-Engine / TurboGrafx-16 - Ootake emulator has been updated.
- When running on Windows 11, the default VSync setting is now "Off." Windows 11 automatically suppresses tearing, and disabling VSync further reduces latency - Added "Use Pad #0 (Another Pad for P1)" to the Input menu. When enabled, you can assign an additional Windows gamepad as Player 1. For example, you can use an arcade stick (#0) and a standard pad (#1) together - You can now rename CD-installed game folders. This is useful when changing names to Japanese or when a game is detected as "Unknown." (Manual renaming via Windows Explorer) 1. Open the install folder via "CD-ROM -> CD Install -> Open 'Install' Folder." 2. Rename the game's folder. 3. Rename the .cue file inside the folder to match the folder name. (Keep the .cue extension.) * Note: State save filenames will also change - Added "Check Game Name" to the CD Install menu. Displays the default name of the currently running CD game - Added support for opening ROM images with the ".sgx" extension. These will automatically boot in SuperGrafx mode - Changed the default screenshot key from [PrintScreen] to [Pause], because Windows 11 freezes the screen when PrintScreen is pressed - Adjusted sound balance to more closely match real hardware - Added "Weaken Intense Light Flashing (Salamander)" and "Weaken Intense Light Flashing (Necros no Yousai)" to the "Setting -> Improve" menu. These reduce extreme flashing effects while preserving the original presentation. Enabled by default for health reasons. Users sensitive to flashing should still take precautions - Improved recognition of later-reissued CD-ROM versions of "Monster Lair." - The later-reissued version of "Juuouki" is now recognized as "Juuouki [New] (J)." This version works properly even with System Card v2.0 or later. The earlier version "Juuouki (J)" should be played with System Card v1.0 - "Hyper Catalog 6" and "Hyper Catalog DUO-RX (Not for Sale)" are now recognized as separate titles - Improved CD-DA playback accuracy. Fixed issues such as: - "Steam Hearts": fanfare music not playing after stage clear. - "Nobunaga no Yabou: Bushou Fuunroku": freezing when playing certain tracks in the in-game CD sound test - Fixed an issue in "Seiryu Densetsu Monbit" where controls could stop responding after exiting the shrine east of Lance Village (likely also occurs on real hardware when both Memory Base 128 and Multitap are connected) - Fixed graphical corruption in "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" (sprite limit behavior reproduced) - Optimized rapid-fire behavior in "Xevious: Fardraut Densetsu" when set to HIGH - Added a 59.3Hz option to "Audio -> Adjust CD-DA (for Sync)." - Reduced the time required for "Adjust CD-DA Auto Set" from 60 seconds to 30 seconds and improved accuracy - Fixed rare slowdowns on Windows 11 when GPU power-saving modes were enabled on NVIDIA or AMD GPUs, even on high-end PCs - Various minor fixes and improvements
