Rich Whitehouse, the creator behind BigPEmu, is set to launch his new and improved Killer Instinct emulator in beta. Initially a fully-commercial project, funding had been pulled back in March this year, but now it seems that enough support has come through on Patreon to keep the development going.

According to Rich Whitehouse’s statement, the beta release will be made available in just a few days, giving fans of the classic fighting game an exciting opportunity to try out what could very well be the best way to experience Killer Instinct and Killer Instinct 2.

Some key features include:

  • Silky Smooth Multiplayer
  • Brand New Stereo Sound Script
  • Fast MIPS III Interpreter

You can gain access to the emulator by backing Rich on Patreon.


What aspects of this new emulator do you think will most improve the gameplay experience?

    Oh yeah, Im pretty sure it was the first one and I think it was created by one of the cannon brothers. Idk if you’re into fighting games like that but they started evo and are currently the lead developers on Riot’s 2xko. Great dudes, super smart. Blew my mind when I found out.

    I dont know much about Game dev, other than its really hard. I’m more into the networking & infrastructure side. Thats what drew me in to rollback in the first place. I’ve also been playing fighting games for longer than I care to admit lol

    I might have heard of fightcade before but I didn’t know what it was until you mentioned it. It sound amazing, Im definitely going to check it out. Good looks!

      I’m into fighting games yes 😁 I know thd guys have been in the FGC for a time.

      I have Fightcade it works really well. I wish I could have more channels and it worked easier on linux. Sadly on linux it needs Wine working smoothly.
