    ePSXe 1.8.0 released

    Robert
    By Robert,

    http://www.epsxe.com/download.php

     

    ePSXe v1.8.0, released on 09.11.2012

     

    - Added cheat codes support. Now ePSXe support Gameshark cheat codes. See

    the Cheat Code section below to get information on how to use it.

     

    - Added support for disc images in PBP format. It supports compressed images, and

    multi-disc images (a list of images is shown when you choose a multi-disc pbp).

    This doesn't support encrypted files.

     

    - Added subchannel support using SBI files from redump.org. To get it working

    with isos the SBI file has to be renamed with the same filename as the image

    (except the extension, for example .bin to .sbi) and be located in the same folder.

    To get it working in cdroms, you need to put the SBI file in directory patches,

    with the PS-EXE name of the game and ".sbi" at the end of the name.

    (example: SLES_99.999.SBI). Be carefull, ".sub" has priority over ".sbi",

    so if you prefer to use the ".sbi" file, remove/move ".sub" to another folder.

     

    - Fixed changedisc feature, which was broken in 1.7.0, and added fixes to

    support changedisc in more games that were not previously working.

     

    - The internal SPU plugin has been updated to the 1.8.0 version. This

    version includes multiples fixes and add compatibility with a lot of

    sound effects that were not properly supported before. Thanks goes to

    Shalma and Tikalat. The following games work better in this release:

    Um Jammer Lammy, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy Tactics, Xenogears,

    Vagrant Story, Misadventures of Tron Bonne, Spyro 2 & 3, Vib Ribbon,

    Discworld Noir, Tales of Destiny, Extreme Ghostbuster,

    South Park Chef's Luv Shack, Silhouette, Thousand Arms, Adidas Power Soccer ...

     

    - Added better support to change memcards on the fly (Dragon Warrior 7,

    Star Ocean 2, Valkyrie Profile ...). This includes a

    better detection by the games. You can also disable the memcards

    in the configuration screen (needed in Lifeforce Tenka). Thanks goes to

    Shalma and Tikalat.

     

    - Improved dual shock, mouse, guncon, multitap emulation (vibration on

    multitap not supported). Mouse is working again in the Pad2 (Quake),

    and multitap is working in more games like Frogger 2, Rampage 2 and

    Crash Bash. Thanks goes to Shalma and Tikalat.

     

    - Better support for CDDA in games, more games which had CDDA in the

    previous version work now. It also adds better RepPlay, and

    AutoPause support.

     

    - Some games with GPU status problems are detected and auto-activate the

    required options in the GPU. These games don't work if you use PEC.

    The list of affected games includes: To heart, Ishin No Arashi,

    Dukes hazzard Racing for Home, Hot wheels: turbo racing, U.P.P.

    Thanks goes to gladiator.

     

    - Added support for savestates in some game which didn't work in the previous

    version because it was unable to find the game code name. It now generates

    a game code name for the game like SLU_XX.XXX.

     

    - Fixes to the CD-Rom decoder and the core which made almost 150 more games

    playable or working better like. For example this fixed Shaman king,

    Arcade Pack (Rampage), Virtual Pool 3, Heart of Darkness, Eldergate,

    Blue's Clues - Blue's Big Musical, Carnage Heart EZ,

    Simple 1500 Series Vol 006 - The hanafuda, Roswell Conspirancies - Level 7,

    Armored Core - Master of Arena, Digital Figure Iina, My Dream / On Air...

     

    - Note: for information about compatibility and games's configuration,

    it is recommended that you visit the "Playstation Datacenter" at

    http://psxdatacenter.com/. We want to thank Gladiator who has

    been a very important help in betatesting the new version.

    http://messui.the-chronicles.org/

     

    0.147u2

    -------

     

     

    MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

    ----------------------

    - 05046: [Crash/Freeze] (megatech.c) megatech, all sms-based sets: [debug]

    Crash after OK (sronco)

    - 05042: [Documentation] (ataxx.c) ataxxj: Missing documentation that

    is on the title screen.

    - 04948: [Gameplay] (pgm.c) kov and clones: resets to title screen

    stage 6 (winter stage) (iq_132)

    - 00007: [DIP/Input] (8080bw.c) invrvnge: The cocktail DIP has no effect. (hap)

    - 05036: [Gameplay] (ninjakd2.c) omegafs: Failure to finish post + reset (hap)

    - 05028: [Gameplay] (system1.c) shtngmste: The gun crosshair vs gun hit

    position offset is wrong (hap)

     

    Source Changes

    --------------

    -Added support for DEVCB_UNMAPPED, that will do the logging on

    read/write of device callback, preventing a need for making dummy log

    line handlers [Miodrag Milanovic]

     

    -if the start of a multi-line comment is indented then following

    comment lines will be indented with tabs up to that point. [smf]

     

    -Information adjustments for naomi.c, chihiro.c, mame.lst reflecting

    latest discoveries. [f205v]

     

    -New preliminary driver for Webak MPU-12 platform. [Roberto Fresca]

     

    -Refactored the code in jedutil to support the viewing of a GAL16V8

    device and added a new command line option of "-viewlist" which will

    print out a list of all the devices that can be viewed in human

    readable logic equations. Also updated the jedutil regression test to

    support passing in an additional argument of "debug" to print out a

    detailed log. Also moved the jedutil regression test data into

    separate directories composed of the device's name to make things more

    organized. [Kevin Eshbach]

     

    -Removed protection hack patches and emulated protection routines for

    Caveman Ninja [iQ_132 & JackC]

     

    -Added experimental support for using Berkeley PLA files as input to

    jedutil. [Curt Coder]

     

    -memory: Fix dynamic recursive device mapping [O. Galibert]

    Situation:

    * you have a device (pc-fdc) with a memory map on it

    * you map it dynamically into a cpu (maincpu) address space with

    install_device (isa-fdc does that)

    * the device pc-fdc has a subdevice (upd765)

    * the subdevice upd765 has its own memory map

    * the pc-fdc memory map includes the upd765 memory map through

    AM_DEVICE("upd765", ...)

    Before the fix, the code would search for upd765 as a subdevice of

    maincpu and not of pc-fdc.

     

    -am9517a: Don't grossly fail on verify [O. Galibert]

     

    -3X3 Puzzle update [David Haywood]

    * fixed visible area

    * added the 2nd button

    * added the Demo Sound dip

     

    -Fixed sound banking in 3X3 Puzzle [Mariusz Wojcieszek]

     

    -Added scrolling to 3X3 Puzzle [Mariusz Wojcieszek]

     

    -SCSI: Uses logical levels rather than voltage levels for control signals,

    you have to write 0 to the data lines when you're not sending data.

    Added a kludge to stop the ff from the 6522 from preventing the bus

    from being read, this may or may not be how the hardware really works.

    [smf]

     

    -i386dasm.c: [Peter Ferrie]

    * added numerous opcodes for newer CPUs;

    * added some undocumented-but-supported opcodes from old CPUs;

    * corrected naming of two opcodes

     

    -port 0x64 opcode 0xd1 should incur no delay when delivering. This

    allows, for example, su2000 to start booting to the CMOS setup screen

    [Peter Ferrie]

     

    -Improved inputs in 3X3 Puzzle [stephh]

     

    -Aristocrat MK6 base system bios for New South Wales region

    [Heihachi_73]

     

    -hercules : hooked up mechanical sounds [Robbbert].

     

    -memory: Map from the cpu's owner, not the root device, otherwise

    siblings of cpus coming from config fragments aren't happy.

    [O. Galibert]

     

    -clifront.c: Added verifysoftlist command for verifying software

    availability for separate software lists. [Wilbert Pol]

     

    -Created a base class delegate_common_base for all delegate

    types. Created a binding_type_exception which is thrown when

    a bind attempt fails due to mismatched types.[Aaron Giles]

     

    Added helper templates to driver_device to wrap legacy

    device read/write handlers into driver_device member functions.

    This should help move some things forward until more common

    code is converted into proper devices.

     

    Introduce new module devcb2 which contains modernized

    versions of devcb. Compared to previous implementation

    this one is simpler overall, trampolining calls through

    a single internal set of adapter functions. The new

    versions are also designed to be specified in the

    machine_config rather than in structures, so they are

    no longer simple POD types. Additional new/changed

    features:

     

    * reads and writes can map to delegates for line or 8/16/32/64-bit

    * reads and writes can map to an I/O port

    * reads can be mapped to a constant value, with or without logging

    * writes can be mapped to a device's input line

    * all reads/writes can have a shift, mask, and/or xor applied

    * devices can opt to make the functions safe-if-NULL when resolving

    * only member function types are supported

     

    Rewrote the YM2151 interface to be fully modernized, and

    removed the ym2151_interface struct in favor of inline configs

    using the new devcb2 mechanism. In many cases, removed

    no longer needed trampolines, instead taking advantage of

    direct support for input line writes.

     

    -switched SCSICB to use DEVCB2 [smf]

     

    -Optimized the PLA implementation and added simple caching with

    significant performance increase. [Curt Coder]

     

    -tlcs900.c: Implemented the 4-byte prefetch queue. [Wilbert Pol]

     

    -t6w28.c: Converted to C++. [Wilbert Pol]

     

    -suna8.c update [Luca Elia]

    * Emulated the protection in sparkman

    * Support for two sprite chips

    * Support for two sample ROMs

    * Fixed color cycling in hardhea2

    * Per-game tile banking

     

    -Added opcodes to Atmel AVR core: OR, SBCI, ORI, ST Y+, ADIW

    [Mooglyguy]

     

    -Fixed functional issues in Atmel AVR opcodes: COM, NEG, LSR [Mooglyguy]

     

    -Hooked up polepos.c, portrait.c and tomcat.c to use the new tms5220

    implementation. [Osso]

     

    -addrmap: Yes, we can have a map for 8bits on 8bits, and that's not the

    end of the world [O. Galibert]

     

    -addrmap: Avoid a collision between address_map the type and the method

    of the device_memory_interface class [O. Galibert]

     

    -i386: 486+ WP bit support [Carl]

     

    -Williams system3 : Contact and Disco Fever marked as WORKING. [Robbbert]

     

    -Hot Tip, Lucky Seven : added chimes, now marked as WORKING [Robbbert]

     

    -Moved Phoenix and Pokerino to s3.c and marked as WORKING [Robbbert]

     

    -Don't crash on REP NOP [Carl, Alegend45]

     

    -suna16.c: Emulate protection routines rather than patching them for

    uballoon [iQ_132 & JackC]

     

    -pgm.c: Fix level 6 crash on kov . [iQ_132]

     

    -megadrvb.c: simplify decode function for srmdb. [iQ_132]

     

    -Cleaned up mustache boy vblank interrupts: Got rid of the nasty

    long-int hack in mustache boy in favor of the same 'vblank in+vblank

    out' int scheme the other similar seibu games of this era used

    (panicrd, darkmist). This seems much more likely to be what the actual

    pcb used, and works just fine. [Lord Nightmare]

     

    -changed 2 disc hack to use 1 drive [smf]

     

    -SCSICD now has a CDDA sub device [smf]

     

    -avr8: Implemented MULS, ANDI, STD Z+, LD -Z, LD Y+, LD -Y, LD -X,

    SWAP, ASR, ROR, and SBIS opcodes. [MooglyGuy]

     

    -avr8: Moved Timer 0-2 into the CPU core itself, 30x driver speedup

    [MooglyGuy]

     

    -Emulate protection in sf2rb, sf2rb2's (cps1.c) and ichirjbl (segac2.c)

    rather than simply patch it out. [iQ_132]

     

    -Hooked up PSX IRQ's using DEVCB2 [smf]

     

    -avr8.c: Added LD Rd,Z+q opcode [MooglyGuy]

     

    -avr8.c: Corrected cycle counts for LD and ST opcodes. [MooglyGuy]

     

    -avr8.c: Fixed a bug where a 2-cycle or 3-cycle opcode encountered

    during a time slice were causing all subsequent 1-cycle opcodes to

    deduct 2 or 3 cycles for the remainder of the time slice instead.

    [MooglyGuy]

     

    -cleaned up the ide controller enough to change the irq to a DEVCB2

    [smf]

     

    -avr8.c: Fixed register indexing for MULSU opcode. [MooglyGuy]

     

    -avr8.c: Fixed register writeback for LD -Z and LD -Y opcodes.

    [MooglyGuy]

     

    -Bingo Mania: Added PCB layouts and descriptions

    [Roberto Fresca, Team Europe]

     

    -YM2612: fix LFO AM waveform [Eke-Eke, R. Belmont]

     

    -Fun World driver improvements [Roberto Fresca]

    * Added 'Bonus Card (Austrian)' from Fun World.

    * Added PCB layouts.

    * Set Big Deal sets and Jolly Card hybrid as clones of Bonus Card.

    -romload: Tell in which zips a missing rom was searched for

    [O. Galibert]

     

    -Moved jolycdat program to Bonus Card, making it parent. This program

    is a real original Bonus Card program, and the PCB was populated with

    common Jolly Card graphics wrongly. The other Bonus Card set was

    turned as clone, since has a fake copyright string (hack). Also added

    some technical notes. [Roberto Fresca]

     

    -More Fun World driver improvements... [Roberto Fresca]

    * Renamed the internal layout artwork: bigdeal --> bonuscrd.

    * Default Bonus Card & Big Deal DIP switches positions, that allow

    boot the system without errors.

     

    -Pennant Fever is now WORKING [Robbbert].

     

    -lethalj.c: Added dipswitch locations to the Egg Venture sets.

    Source Changes

    --------------

    -floppy: Random fixes/logging [O. Galibert]

     

    -upd765: Modernize [O. Galibert]

     

    Remaining TODO list:

    * take WP into account

    * test the amstrad, implement its observational format (edsk) using

    pasti as a start. Or find the legendary amstrad IPFs. Or both.

    * correct read track, the implementation is completely wrong. See

    previous for testing, it's only used in protections the check the

    inter-sector gaps.

    * shake and bake on the amstrad, protections are the best to find

    bugs in a fdc

    * add the scan id commands, but nothing seems to use them

    * debug the 2.88M formatting which is unreliable. Fix its IDAM/DAM

    gap size on formatting too (but that's not what's making it

    unreliable)

    * test all the systems that were hit, and fix what needs to be fixed.

    Beware that multiple problems may happen:

    * upd765 may be wrong

    * the driver may not be working

    * the hookup may be wrong/incomplete (bitrate selection and floppy

    rpm in particular)

    * the driver may be too limited for the new implementation (the x68k

    dma device does not handle non-instant dma yet for instance)

    * report invalid command when appropriate depending on the actual

    chip emulated

    * add the russian clones with their real names
