HYPSEUS is an SDL2 update to the DAPHNE emulator engine. It includes fixes to many existing Daphne games and supports one game that neither Daphne nor MAME currently support: Stern's Goal to Go. Support for SINGE simulation is also built-in. Re-imagined versions of the Action Max, Captain Power XT-7 and SEGA Video Driver VHS games are now supported via simulation. There are enhancements SDL2 allows over the original engine: Supporting enhanced 4k MPEG-2 video, including multiple screen support, integrated bezels, hot-pluggable GameControllers, lightgun support and a 32bit upgrade on the Daphne VLDP software laserdisc player. This allows support for the full range of extended run-time fan-made games introduced in Singe 2. Hypseus also runs a 32bit overlay on Singe games, which can be reverted back to 8-bit via command-line arguments. The diversity of the engine means Hypseus can run on a multitude of hardware including SBCs, such as the Raspberry Pi and its kin.
