    vbsms+ 3.1 Released

    olaf
    By olaf,

    I saw there was a demand for TAS-capable SMS/GG emulators, so I figured I'd take a whack at it. I went a different route with rewinding and resuming recording through save states. Rewinds are saved forever until you clear them yourself on a per game basis. Here's the change log and there was also a new contributor, benryves of Cogwheel. Oh yeah, it passes ZEXALL now thanks to brom. :nosweat:

     

    - added various fixes to the vdp, including horizontal sprite zooming [benryves]

    - added 3d disabling for games that are supposed to use the segascope 3d glasses [olaf]

    - added dx7vb.dll to the source's zip for compiling on windows 7 [olaf]

    - added the load rom shortcut key in full screen mode [olaf]

    - added a compatibility hack for '[bios] alex kidd in miracle world (korea)' [olaf]

    - added slow motion throttles (50%, 25%, 12%, 6%, and 3%) [olaf]

    - added rewinding (works with movie states and saves at an interval of 1 second) [olaf]

    - added 'reset and record' option for movie states [olaf]

    - added a play time pop up window to the end of movie playback [olaf]

    - added resuming recording from a save state [olaf]

    - removed a bug in handling of game gear rom filenames [olaf]

    - removed the disabling of gg's border [olaf]

    - removed the gg's start button in sms mode and removed sms's pause button in gg mode [olaf]

    - removed the sms's second input in gg mode [olaf]

    - removed a bug with rapid fire in gg mode [olaf]

    - removed a bug that did not allow pc gamepad input during movie recording [olaf]

    - removed the sms's region code in gg mode [olaf]

    - removed the bugs in the z80 core which now allow vbsms+ to pass the zexall test [brom]

    - removed a bug when you tried to play a movie while already recording [olaf]

    - removed a bug where movie states were using the save state slot number [olaf]

    - removed avi recording (there was no sound and i never planned on working on it) [olaf]

    - changed some sound code around and now it sounds better [brom]

    - changed default window size to 2x and default full screen size to 640x480 [olaf]

    - changed the region submenu around (now with proper pal/ntsc modes too) [olaf]

    - changed the gg to its proper speed (always ntsc mode) [olaf]

    - changed some other menus/submenus around [olaf]

    - changed "fast forwarding" to 'no throttle' [olaf]

    - changed sprite limiting to enabled by default for the sake of accuracy [olaf]

    - changed 'rapid fire unit' to 'rapid fire' since there was no rfu for gg [olaf]

    - changed movie states to overwrite if there's already a movie state on the slot [olaf]

     

    The webpage is here as always. If it receives good reception from the TAS scene, I'll keep working on it in the vein of TAS emulators.

    2009-06-28 Emulator Releases

    Robert
    By Robert,

    SDLMAME 0.132u2 for Ubuntu

     

    MAME plus Ash-build 0.132u2

     

    GameEx 10.16 - Front End

     

    27th June, 2009 - GameEx 10.16

     

    Thanks to Ben Baker with this release there is now support for switching subtitle and audio streams when using FFDSHOW. It should work automatically where appropriate, and is operated with the paging keys/combos. Page Up and Down for switching subtitles and Alpha Paging for changing audio streams. Ie button 1 and left and right. Also in this release is iTunes support. The iTunes library and playlists can now be used in GameEx if your using iTunes by setting the Jukebox mode to 'iTunes Library' as opposed to windows media player or file tags. Protected files are not supported, and it does take a little while to load up.


    2009-06-27 Emulator releases

    Robert
    By Robert,

    MAME plus 0.132u2r4293

     

    Dolphin svn 3549 - Thanks to Xtreme2damax

     

    XTRS 4.9d - Tandy TRS80 emulator

     

    * Fixed gcc warnings.

     

    * Some small cleanups to reset and power-on.

     

    * Added a workaround to a current X bug that made F11 repeat infinitely.

     

    * Added a keybinding help window contributed by Branden Robinson. Press F11 to see the help.

     

    * Fixed one more spot that was assuming "char" is signed by default.

     

    * Changed mem_read() to automatically mod the address by 0xffff. Requiring callers to take care of that was ugly and error prone. A bug report from Kevin P. Rauch alerted me to the fact that at least one caller to mem_read_word() wasn't doing it, causing segfaults.

     

    * Added patch from Branden Robinson so that extra Enter events synthesized by the X unclutter app (or potentially other X apps, I guess) don't cause xtrs to lose track of whether to reenble X key repeat when the cursor leaves the xtrs window.

     

    * Added patch from Joe Peterson and Ulrich Mueller that makes NEWDOS/80 boot up knowing the date and time, similar to the existing feature for LDOS.

     

    * Added assignment to a volatile to the delay/autodelay loop. Without this some compilers will optimize the loop into nothingness, so it fails to delay. Thanks to Ulrich Mueller and Joe Peterson.

     

    * Fixed a bug I introduced in 4.9b, where the KBWAIT feature would stop working after F7, F9, or F10 was pressed. Thanks to Joe Peterson for a bug report and analysis.

     

    * Deleted all SIGIO code. The code was a kludge to begin with and it no longer worked with current X libraries and Linux kernels, causing xtrs to hang. It was also reported to cause hangs when xtrs was compiled for Windows using Cygwin. Thanks to Howard Pepper, Dennis Lovelady, Arumin Nueckel, Christopher Currie, and Joe Peterson for bug reports.

     

    * Replaced "Last modified" lines in source files with RCS $Id$ keywords. It's been years since I've had the DEC SRC macros that update these lines loaded in my emacs, so they don't stay up to date. And I've kept the file history in RCS for even more years.
