Ootake, a Japanese Turbo Grafx 16 emulator for Windows has been updated today. Below is a list of changes in this release:
- The processing of "Monochrome Screen Function" mounted with v2.28 was sped up (lightened). I think that the bug that was slow operation in some personal computer environments was solved.
- The processing when the volume was adjusted ([PageUp],[PageDown]key) was sped up. And, the interval of the adjustment was detailed (Change from 5 to 4). (It can be fine-tuned with [Ctrl]key.)
- When CD-DA is played, if the seek(access) to the same part is consecutive, it is processed at high speed. Moreover, the timing was brought close to a real machine. In "Draemon - Nobita no Dorabian Night (CD)", the problem that had been freezed after "Jaian" had been helped was solved. * "Draemon - Nobita no Dorabian Night (CD)"'s timing of the CD access is severe. Please play with CD full installation ("CD-ROM->CD FullInstall" menu).
- The stop timing of ADPCM voice was corrected.
- The access timing to the CD-DA track when the check on "Speed->Fast CD" menu is removed has been adjusted.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

Ootake, a Japanese Turbo Grafx 16 emulator for Windows has been updated today. Below is a list of changes in this release:
- Processing that played the CD-DA track was sped up (lightened). Moreover, the played timing was brought close to a real machine.
- The CD access processing part was corrected. In "Draemon - Nobita no Dorabian Night (CD)", when the first boss is defeated, the problem that had stopped was solved (When the state before v2.27 is loaded in this game, it has trouble. please play from the start of this game). And, in the title screen of "Psychic Storm", the problem that the introduction part of the tune has fallen into disorder was solved.
- It corresponded to the monochrome screen function (This screen mode can be used by the tip of some games). * While displaying monochrome screen, the processing is a little heavy because it stuck to the image quality. If the personal computer not fast is used, select "Screen->TV Mode" menu (default), and use "FullScreen Mode". [Side Arms]...In the title screen, push "RUN" while pressing "Up" + "I(1)" + "II(2)". [Power Drift]...In the title screen, push "RUN" while pressing "Lower-Right" + "SEL" + "I(1)" button. Next, select "ERIC" and push "2(II)" button. Moreover, push "2(II)" button. By the way, it becomes "four split-screen + monochrome screen" if it pushes another times. [Heavy Unit]...In the title screen, push "SEL" while pressing "Left" + "I(1)" button. Choose the difficulty "HARD". And, push "I(1)" button 46 times. And, push "II(2)" button 96 times. Push "RUN" button at the end. [Coryoon]...Choose the sound test on the title screen. Listen to the tune in order of "01, 04, 05, 06, 05, 06, 05, 06, 05, 06, 05, and 06". (the tune start is "II(2)" button. Only introduction OK.)
- "MonoColor Mode" was added to "Screen" menu. It connects "PC Engine(TG16)" with the monochrome television. (Moreover, it has the extra function. Select with [Ctrl]key is pressed, and the Green Display mode can be used.)
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

Ootake, a Turbo Grafx 16 emulator for Windows was updated today. Below is a list of changes in this release:
- The timer interrupt processing was corrected. In "Legion", the problem that the tempo of BGM has slowed (generated from v2.20) was solved.
- The speed and timing were brought close to the movement of a real machine. In the opening demo of "FRAY CD - Xak Gaiden", the problem that the screen has fallen into disorder was solved.
- In "Nemurenuyoru no Chiisana Ohanashi", the priority level of the screen was done as well as a real machine. Moreover, when starting, the mouse was automatically connected. (This mounting was done with v2.17. But, it did not function because there was a bug.)
- In "AYA", the timing of the CD access was brought close to a real machine. As a result, sentences became legible.
- In "Orgel", the timing of the CD access was brought close to a real machine. As a result, the problem that the screen advanced fast was solved.
