10/02/2005 - bsnes v0.012 released

      The main features of this release are sound support and improved NMI / IRQ timing.

 

    Changelog:

* Added S-DSP emulation

* Added sound output support via DirectSound -- no sound buffering though, so sound is muted by default

* Added option to record raw sound output to WAV files

* Added multiple color adjustment filters to the video output

* Added mode3/4 direct color support

* Added mode7 direct color and mosaic support

* Greatly improved mode7 rendering algorithm thanks to anomie

* Fixed mode7 screen repitition and EXTBG effects

* Greatly increased accuracy of NMI and IRQ timing, and emulated many newly discovered hardware quirks involving the two

* A few speed improvements courtesy of Nach for profiling the code for me.

Not much to say...

October 01, 2005 - Mednafen 0.3.5 Released

Changes:

 

* Added code to allow for writing to SDL framebuffers directly, without using OpenGL, controlled with the command-line option "-vdriver".

  -vdriver 0 = OpenGL

  -vdriver 1 = SDL framebuffer (bilinear interpolation and Lynx screen rotation are not available).

 

* Lynx:  Disabled the crude(as in, non-working) stereo sound support, and added a low-pass filter to make the sound sound much closer to what comes out of a real Lynx.

 

* PCE:  Adjusted the visible horizontal display area, and overscan, in the 7 and 10MHz dot clock modes.

 

* PCE:  Expanded the visible vertical display area by 8 pixels(4 on top, 4 on bottom).

 

* PCE:  Altered VDC timing agaaaain.

 

* PCE:  Block memory transfers now take 5 cycles(read, write, alter source, alter dest, decrement length?) per byte transferred instead of 6.  Fixes "Wonder Momo".

 

* PCE:  Altered HuC6280 instruction timing slightly(removed the tests for indirect indexed and indexed indirect addressing modes to use extra CPU cycles).

 

* PCE:  Corrected a timer emulation bug, fixes "Dragon Egg"'s tempo.

 

* PCE:  Increased the number of cpu cycles per scanline from 454 to 455, based on tests I performed.

 

* GB/GBC:  A sound enable register is now initialized properly on reset, fixing at least one unlicensed game.

 

* Lynx:  Disabled the superclipping code, as it's buggy(causes bad sprite clipping and invisible mountains(OHNOS) in Steel Talons) and doesn't appear to be necessary.

 

* The mouse cursor is now hidden.

What is LDU technology? This handy bit of code can identify the text and pictures on the screen and then do a lot of crazy stuff for you such as Force Feedback or translating roms into your language! Note that it will take a few hours to do.

 

This update:

 

1) Fixed some bugs.

 

2) Inlcuded MDD Editor v1.00 Std. it provided the tools to complie an LDU.
