Yeah, it's a big mess (in a good way).
Honestly I've been waiting to see if things would settle down.

The big development is that the author of Xnp2 (a fork of np2 for Linux) has been improving the i386 core. Xnp2 is open source, so everyone is adopting his code.

The author of the kai builds appeared again and started adding features again, mostly more disk formats and some features already present in np2fmgen.
Warning: the code has been tweaking the floppy drive system so there may be some bugs which could corrupt files. Always keep a backup of your disk images.

np2_085kCVC8 - for PC-9801
http://www.mediafire.com/?8ocxm18v698b4c6

np21_083kCVC8 - for PC-9821. 0.83 code base.
http://www.mediafire.com/?2m88p1prpg1px84

np21_085kCVC8 - for PC-9821. 0.85 code base. 0.83 and 0.85 are identical except for the i386 core. Performance is better with 0.85, but 0.85 crashes with EMM386.EXE and you'll need to use an alternative memory driver like VEM486.
http://www.mediafire.com/?ry6su3n8nac39s5

np2ss3a - Another build, using VC6 instead of VC8. Also has multithreading. This is more of a test version.
http://www.mediafire.com/?t63sikgag5n2jkx

The fmgen coder also adopted the Xnp2 core, which broke stuff initially but I think it's mostly fixed now. He's also been working on PCM audio recently. The latest version makes an XMS fix to the 286 core, but this may cause other problems.

np2 fmgen 2012-02-07 - without the 286 fix
http://www.mediafire.com/?zz7w88lzh89zmnf

np2 fmgen 2012-02-13 - with 286 fix
http://www.mediafire.com/?s4e38p8ez7v9txc

fmgen dll set (v1) - external FM synth engines for use with np2 fmgen. Add "FMGenDll=xxx.dll" to the .ini file.
http://www.mediafire.com/?cja10ogt54tp2j2

For general use np2fmgen is still the best overall and it's got a lot of good features.
If you have a slow computer or just want to crank up the clockspeed for the 3 games that actually need it, try the kai builds.

edit: First post updated with new information.
edit2: I wasn't reading closely enough, the kai author and the ss author are in fact different people.

Binary: http://www.mediafire.com/?ytz4eimfy96b8ab

- 86 PCM tweaked
- Sub-windows come to the front when emulator is active window
- Select floppy image dialog box now shows all supported files by default

I guess Arcorann is going back to lurking...

fmgen update:
http://www.mediafire.com/?vifi0pcsuodd116

Optionally enables a time stamper flag, available as an enhanced option.
This was implemented to fix an issue with the MAKO.COM sound driver (Alicesoft) not outputting in stereo.
Other than that this option should only rarely ever be required, and may slow down emulation if enabled.

Would you mind posting the links for the linux fork too? Thanks.

Xnp2 actually has its own homepage, a rarity for PC98 emulators these days...

Just Google xnp2, you'll find it. I don't want to post a direct link in case the author doesn't like traffic from this little hive of villainy :wink:

Thanks akarin!

I do hope the np2fmgen author comes forward and releases this publicly. We're already underground enough as it is.
