all ports have deterministic sound. (Bisqwit, nitsuja)
- Fix for save state blocks > 999999 bytes. (Bisqwit)
- C4 games now save C4 data in save states. (DeHackEd)
- Unix: Framework for high-speed seeking. Specify a frame
number in a movie, and the emulator will run at
maximum speed to that frame. Untested. (DeHackEd)
- X11: Support for window exposure. When a window is
damaged due to overlay, being iconified, etc. it will
be repainted correctly. (DeHackEd)
- Unix: parameter: -autodemo
loads a movie for playback on startup. Only the x11 code handles this
right now. (DeHackEd)
- Unix: parameter: -oldturbo, the turbo button renders all
frames when fast-forwarding. (DeHackEd)
- Unix: parameter: -upanddown, override U+D and
L+R protection. (DeHackEd)

audio output from your speakers while still emulating
sound. Not fully tested. (DeHackEd)

- Unix: parameter: -keypress shows to stderr and on-screen
the currently pressed buttons on joypad 1. (DeHackEd)
- Unix: Stream dumping (NOT COMPLETE). With -dumpstreams,
raw video and raw audio are dumped to videostream%d.dat
and audiostream%d.dat, where %d increments on each CPU
reset, starting at zero. (DeHackEd)
- Unix: Non-blocking sound on Linux. It makes seeking nicer.(DeHackEd)
- Unix: Configurable sound device. (pierredavidbelanger)
- configure.in now requires a sufficiently new version of
autoconf. (anomie)
- Fixed slow versions of branch opcodes. (anomie)
- Fixed the mosaic offset bug. (anomie)
- No sorting by priority in C4 command 00 00. MegaMan X2
can go behind the legs of the intro stage boss. (anomie)
- New RTO discovery, fixes Super Conflict: The Mideast
title screen. (anomie, byuu)
- A 1->0 transition on $2100.7 causes OAM Address Reset. (anomie, byuu)
- The final HDMA Indirect Address load is only weird
on the last channel of the scanline.
Touge Densetsu Saisoku Battle problem solved. (anomie, byuu)
- Fixed BGnVOFS bug. Only HOFS needs ~&7 update. (byuu)
- Fixed superfluous VIRQ triggers. (zones)
- Fixed missing IRQ trigger just after the previous one. (zones)
- Fixed missing IRQ while writing to $4200. (zones)
- Fixed IRQ timing after WRAM refresh. (zones)
- Fixed NMA timing after DMA transfer. (zones)
- Fixed superfluous auto-joypad-reading. (zones)
- Fixed missing WRAM refresh during DMA transfer. (zones)
- Fixed DMA so that HDMA and any HC triggered events can
run during DMA transfer. (zones)
- Roughly fixed the case that HDMA and DMA use the same
channel at the same time. HDMA kills DMA. Thanks byuu. (zones)
- Changed initial DMA registers values. (zones)
- Slightly modified APU execute timings. (zones)
- Fixed APU I/O registers to get/set the proper value. (zones)
- Blocked invalid VRAM writings, though you can turn off
this option due to Snes9x's inaccurate timings. (zones)
- Omitted SPCTOOL, no one uses it. (zones)
- Added Sufami Turbo support. (zones)
- Added Same Game add-on cart support. (zones)
- Fixed HiROM SRAM and DSP1-4 memory maps a little. (zones)
- Improved mirroring. (Nach, grinvader, byuu)
- CRC32 on BS dumps now follows uCONSRT standard. (Nach)
- BS dumps now always run in NTSC mode. (Nach)
- Unknown regions (generally betas) default to NTSC. (Nach)
- Now support NSRT headers for setting up controllers. (Nach, nitsuja)
- Unix: Fixed command line help output. (Nach)
- Unix: Sound now defaults to 32KHz, Stereo, Interpolation
so Snes9x finally sounds like a real SNES by default. (Nach)
- Win32: Saner defaults for movie record. (Nach)
- Unix: Fixed crashing with mouse or super scope. (Nach)
- Removed some weird code which was crashing Korean
League and its varients. (Nach)

QuakeDS Preview 2 released
I'm delighted to announce the latest version of QuakeDS for public consumption - pre-release two!I was going to do several releases over the last two months, but I'm kinda glad I held back as I think that "one more feature" thing really helped!
Changes from pre1->pre2:
- faster rendering
- vertex lighting and light animations (proper lightmapping may be in the next build)
- Alias model texturing
- proper timebase, so no variable speed
- a crosshair and a HUD
- the Quake font (or whatever font is available in the mod you're playing)
- a nearly-proper sky
- sky, water, lava, sludge animations
- full control configuration
- game save saving/loading
- every level works - I have played from beginning to end with no crashes or thrashing
- wifi network play, via an access point (build coming in a few days after more testing)
- adequate support for mods/TCs in this build - full compatibility in the EXRAM build (coming in a few weeks)
- much improved sound system on the ARM7 (no music yet...)
- transparent water support via r_novis or VIS'ed maps
- hardware fogging for a light depth cue, or thick fog for underwater
- LOADS more little things (eg the end-of-episode finale messages)
The bad,
- if you had problems getting pre1 to run on your card before (say you had a DS Link) then it ain't gonna run this time! Same goes for cards which have no DLDI driver.
- you will only get textured models if you use pak files - loose files won't work any more
- if you have a slow flash card then loading textures on the fly may really annoy you
- particles and sprites still haven't been fixed
- there's an occasional sound glitch
- no on-screen keyboard in this build
To run (the quick way),
- download the zip file, and put the NDS in the root of your card
- DLDItool it with the DLDI driver of your choice
- make a directory in the root of your card named id1
- put the config file (downloaded from the site) in the id1 directory
- put your two pak files in that directory too
- plug into DS and power on.
As I said before, wait a few days for the networking build (full co-op and deathmatch) and hang on a little longer for the full TC compatibility.
Don't forget to actually read the web page as there are a bunch of options to change stuff like loading textures etc.
Legal: I take no credit for the development of Quake, that all goes to the guys at id Software. I also claim no copyright, trademark etc. Again, all work, copyrights, trademarks are owned by them.
I just made the patch which coaxes the game into running on the DS.
