0.112

-------

 

Happy 10th Anniversary! Today's release marks 10 years since the original release of 0.1. After 10 years, hundreds of developers, thousands of games, and tens of thousands (if not more) of hours of hard work, MAME development is still going strong. Thanks to everyone who has supported this project over the years!

GBA and DS emulator

04 February 2007 - version 2.3c

- nds/2d: adjusted window width (nds=256, instead gba=240) (famicom wars demo)

- nds/memory: allows to execute code in vram (used by mariokart demo on nds7)

- iomap: replaced various "vals" by "io10seg" (matching to nds9/nds7 pages)

- nds/wifi/xcept: allows nintendo to write 00h/55h/AAh/FFh to read-only BB-ports

- nds/3d/irq: emulates gxfifo irq (used by lara/brainage demos)

- nds/3d/help: added notes on how/when to acknowledge gxfifo irq (see gxstat)

- nds/3d/dma: emulates gxfifo dma (used by submarine demo and possibly others)

- nds/dma: renamed/renumbered $profiler_id_dma (supporting the eight ds-modes)

- nds/3d/help: added GXFIFO DMA Overkill on Packed Commands Without Parameters

- setup: added gba-solar-sensor setting (now also in freeware version setup)

- setup: removed experimental rear-alpha option (tested / always enabled now)

- nds/backup: bugfix: forces no nds-backup in gba-mode (fixes fatalunexpected)

- nds/xboo: added upload-wait/timeout (for remote secure_area_extra_decryption)

- nds/dma: prevents gba-style dma3-capture on nds (fixes submarine demo freeze)

- nds/dma: simplified different dma mode bits by dma_kick_mask at mount_system

- nds/3d/help: added 3d-lockup note (on swapbuffers with incomplete vertex list)

- a22i: supports "NOT" operator (more or less, crashes on faulty priority order)

- a22i/bugfix: long/negative multiply in numeric expression (swapped lsw2/msw2)

- nds/3d: handles 8bit ldrb reads from 3d ports (4000320h and up)

- gba/nds-cartloader: fixed crash on loading GBA-carts from inside NDS7-mode

- thanks: RockmanRotties and Diablow for bugreports on demos and fatalunexpected

Multi-system emulator

February 05, 2007 - Mednafen 0.7.2 Released

A few notable additions include WonderSwan emulation, a memory editor(accessible from the debugger), settings to enable configurable motion blur.

 

0.7.2:

* NES: Added MMC1 registers to the NES debugger.

* Various cleanups(removing dead code and header declarations).

* Added settings "vblur.accum", enables motion blur accumulation mode, and "vblur.accum.amount".

* Added setting "vblur", when enabled, will (motion) blur adjacent video frames 50/50.

* Added WonderSwan emulation, based on Cygne, but greatly improved, and with a debugger.

* Modified the time base adjustment code used when sound is disabled to fix fast-forwarding when sound is disabled.

* "Fixed" a few instances of mostly harmless variable shadowing.

* Mednafen is now compiled with -Wshadow.

* Modified the save state preview rescaling code to properly(with interpolation instead of nearest-neighbor) rescale PCE games that use the 512pixel-width mode, or in other words... the rescaling code will now work where (fb_width / state_preview_width)

* Errors saving save states are now propagated and reported.

* NGP: Files with an extension of "npc" are now also treated as Neo Geo Pocket ROM images.

* PC-FX: Added setting "pcfx.nospritelimit".

* Removed the memory dump and graphics memory dump functionality from the main debugger. The new memory editor provides the same or higher level of functionality.

* Added a new memory editor to the debugger interface, accessible by pressing ALT + 3 in the debugger.

* PCE: Added support for reduced-bit-depth background mode.

* If the ALSA driver code is unable to set stereo or mono sound, it will try mono or stereo sound instead, respectively.

* PCE: PSG waveform RAM will now only be updated if the channel is turned off.

* glFinish() will no longer be called every frame in the OpenGL code, which should improve performance(if it causes problems, like tearing where there wasn't any before or decreased performance, please file a bug report!).

* If the "glvsync" setting is 1(the default), and the environment variable "__GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK" is not set at all(either 0 or any value), then it will be set to "1". This has the effect of forcing vblank synchronization when running under Linux with NVidia's drivers.

* Fixed configure script option "--disable-jack".

* Lynx: Screen rotation now works in non-OpenGL mode(SDL+framebuffer), sans scanlines support.

* Lynx: Screen rotation now also rotates input sanely, as it did in 0.6.x and earlier versions.

* Fixed a fatal compilation error in the ALSA driver with ALSA versions

* Fixed a fatal compilation error on GCC

* Added code to detect the maximum OpenGL texture size, and reworked the OSD code to use tiled drawing if a particular OSD surface is too large to fit in a single texture. This is particularly relevant to users of old Voodoo cards. Note that tiled drawing isn't supported for the main game framebuffer, so video cards with severe texture size limitations will still have problems with PC Engine and PC-FX games that use higher resolution modes.

* The help screen, debugger, and cheat search interface now use their own surfaces instead of the generic OSD surface.

* Fixed(hopefully) OSD-clearing in SDL blit mode("-vdriver 1").

* Removed the option "doublebuf". It is kind of an archaic leftover from when Mednafen did only one blit per frame(and had the OSD written to the game's virtual framebuffer). Double buffering must always be enabled, or else screen corruption may occur. Also, as a note, double buffering does not imply synchronizing to vblank, though this does occur in some situations.

***NOTE: Please check your scripts and frontends and remove any "-doublebuf" arguments! ***

FBA-xxx Pro v1.27

>> + T + released a new version of FBA-xxx Pro(info). What's new/fixed:

* Added the latest updates from FBA-XXX by Team Logic Sunrise

* Several ROMset updates. (see DATs for details)

* The following sets have been added: hsf2a, puzloop2, ddsomb, mslugbl, wh2jh

* NOTE: I've removed the Beta games menu because it was causing problems. I'll re-implement it in the future when I've had time to fix it.
