Multi-system emulator.

August 09, 2006 - Mednafen 0.6.3 Released

 

This release cycle had a month of inactivity, and some of fixes for the debugger were rather invasive of the NES and PC Engine emulation code, so if there are any regressions from previous versions, PLEASE post about it on the forum.

 

Reportedly(by someone else of course, since I would NEVER use Windows ), this release fixes the infamous "lockup on exit" bug that afflicted the Win32 build the most.

 

0.6.3:

 

* SexyAL: Fixed buffer write memcpy() optimization to also check to make sure the input and output byte orders are the same.

* PCE: Added setting "pce.forcemono" to force monophonic sound output.

* Added setting "analogthreshold", which is the threshold for detecting a "button" press on analog axis, in percent. The default value is 75(%).

* Worked around a very odd "bug" in gcc that involved muddling of local-scope structure definitions among different object files (the structure previously named "BPOINT" in both NES and PCE emulation code), which led to breakpoints with NES emulation being totally fubared.

* Added graphics memory dumping capabilities to the debugger.

* PCE, NES: Save states and powers/resets in debugger step mode SHOULD work properly now.

* Fixed a potential deadlock when exiting.

* Various debugger fixes. I lost the ChangeLog, sorry.
