Overview

The original Supermodel effort was undertaken by Ville Linde (vlinde), Stefano Teso (sthief), and Bart Trzynadlowski (trzy) from 2003. The PowerPC emulator is originally by Ville Linde and the Sega Custom Sound Processor emulator was donated by ElSemi (Coder of old emulators like Nebula, CPS3 Emulator and Model 2 Emulator). Development began in January 2011 after Bart rewrote it from scratch in late 2010 and got it to a playable state. The first version of Supermodel was released on April 1, 2011. It is being created by Bart Trzynadlowski, Ville Linde, and Stefano Teso. Ian (dukeeeey) is another active contributor.

Supermodel uses OpenGL and SDL. On Windows, it supports force feedback and Xbox 360 controllers.
