(2009-05-16)

 

- Fixed text-offset for double-clicking in 40-column mode

- Added 'freeze' button in debug pane so the output window can be copied from -clear keyboard state when focus lost, to avoid stuck keys from missed up events

MAME4ALL for GP2X/WIZ v2.0:

 

- GP2X WIZ version added:

+ Faster than the GP2X version.

+ It contains some specific features, such as horizontal scaling with linear filtering in 16 bit color mode.

Thanks to EvilDragon for sending me the development unit from GPH.

Thanks to Puck2099 for all the information and his Pico library.

Thanks to Orkie for all the help and his Castor library.

Thanks to Exophase for the MMU hack library.

Thanks to Pickle and KungPhoo for all the information about the sound.

Thanks to Rlyeh for the GP2X minimal library, taken as a base for the WIZ code.

Thanks to Zenzuke for the WIZ artwork.

 

- All source code files related to each of the drivers are compiled together to allow the compiler to improve the code location and to have better cache usage. Some games run faster now.

- Fixed a bug in the auto-frameskip code. In some games the auto frame-skip was incremented without reason due to rounding issues (99% - 100%).

- Double precision float is replaced by single precision in several parts of the code. Nice speed increase.

- Better compiler options. Everything is a little faster now.

- Several internal changes and source code clean-up. Smaller binaries.

- Hack in the CPU frequency clock in Mortal Kombat. Running a lot faster now.

- Hack in the M72 games sound (Hammerin' Harry, etc). Digitized sound disabled with the fast sound option.

Running a lot faster now.

 

- Slaanesh added support for some Argus games (MAME 0.37b11):

Argus (argus)

Butasan (Japan) (butasan)

Valtric (valtric)

 

A GP32 port has been done by Slaanesh. More information in his web page

Linux emulator for Windows

Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware.

 

Version 0.7.4

 

Filesystem:

* New: cofs rename allows to overwrite files with ReadOnly attrib.

* New: cofs supports flat file modes "rwx" for owner. Mount option "noattrib" disables these attribute mapping for older compatibility.

* Use "setcobd=async" to enable asynchronous mode for cobd devices.

* Bug #2013435: cobd supports read-only files now.

* Bug #2152550: cofs atime and mtime was swapped on time set.

* Bug #2176188: File sync wrong on cofs, command after mv/rename fails.

 

Network:

* pcap-bridge: Fix suspend problems. Reconnect after loosing adapter.

* New network "ndis-bridge" works in kernel mode and is the faster alternative to pcap-bridge. (Ligong Liu)

* Bug #1396539: Fixing the "eth0: duplicate address detected!". New filter rule for ndis-bridge and pcap-bridge is: "(ether dst MAC) or (multicast and not ether src MAC)"

* Bug #2055697: Crashing SLiRP under heavy usage ktorrent. (Shai Vaingast)

* Bug #2357494,#2365031: ndis-bridge was not working with PPPoE, AoE and others types as IP and ARP packets. Type filter removed now.

 

Console and daemons:

* New: Added "cocon=COLSxROWS" to use console size, other than 80x25.

* Bug #1117788: Fix sticky ALT after system menu from ALT-Space.

* Bug #2013501: Stop with error message on empty parameters.

* Bug #2593186: FLTK console command prompt display problems. (Shai Vaingast)

* Bugfix: Enclose spaces in current directory for install-service.

 

Kernel:

* scsi: New device for images with partition tables and works async. Usage "scsi0=disk,file.img" or "scsi1=cdrom,file.iso" (Steve Shoecraft)

* Added virtual pci device handling. "lspci" is working (Steve Shoecraft)

* Add PG_co_host_mapped, save many OS switching times: speed up coLinux.

* New: /proc/colinux/stats show counts of OS switches.

* unionfs-2.2.4 added as module. (Marwan Al-Sabbagh)

* Add sysenter / sysexit restoration support, for cpu with SEP feature.

* Bug #2524658: GPF on raid5/6 md array by accessing MMX/XMM-registers.

* Feature req #2114493: Add iscsi kernel support (CONFIG_ISCSI_TCP).

 

Installer:

* New images: Fedora 10, Ubuntu 7.10

 

Debugging:

* Enable host kernel debug via registry [HKLM\SOFTWARE\coLinux] "Debug"

 

Updated libraries and tools:

* mingw 3.14

* w32api 3.11
