Raine is a M68000 and M68020 arcade game emulator.

Raine is an emulator, it emulates some M68000 and M68020 arcade games and is mainly focused on Taito and Jaleco games hardware.

It started as an experiment with the Rainbow Islands romset, dumped by Aracorn/Romlist. Raine can emulate many nice games now, and new games (previously unemulated) are appearing weekly.

Sound is also getting better, mainly thanks to the work of Hiromitsu Shioya

Requirements:
SDL
Allegro
NASM
Zlib

Compilation:

After you have installed all these tools, uncompress raine. Eventually you can edit the makefile if you want to make a debug version (z80 debuger included, and optional debug messages). The top of the makefile is heavily commented, you will only have to uncomment the options you are interested in.

If you don't edit anything, it will build an optimized version for your cpu. Just type make when you are ready, and that's all. In linux you might want to install it after with a "make install", but notice that the executable can be run directly from its source directory (just type ./raine).

What's New in This Release:
maintenance release, no new game, but a very long list of changes anyway
this version should help Raine to work better with recent cpus
