TG16 / PCE emulator

2009/03/22 2.08 released

 

- Sound processing of DirectX (DirectSound) is done by corresponding DirectX8.0 (same as Ootake v1.xx). As a result, the sound of the high pitched has improved (it is likely to depend on the favor). And, it became feeling near a real machine.

 

- Processing related to the video chip has been improved. In "ROCK ON", the problem that the screen occasionally fell into disorder was solved.

 

- In "Bazaar de Gozahru no Game de Gozahru", the remote control operation in the game came to be effective.

 

- The processing of the vertical display beginning position decision has been improved. In "Bazaar de Gozahru no Game de Gozahru" and "Strider Hiryuu", etc., the problem that one uppermost line in screen has fallen into disorder was solved.

 

- The speed and timing were elaborately brought close to a real machine. At stage start of "Pac Land", the problem that the screen has fallen into disorder by one frame was solved. In "Mizubaku Daibouken", the screen when the thunder item was taken became it as well as a real machine.

 

- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

 

+ The execution file for "Windows 98/Me" was opened to the public. The operation test is not done. Please see "Readme98.txt" in the ZIP file about details and notes, etc.

Front End

Fixed

 

- Image resampler not working with layouts view mode

 

version 5.7.3 change log - March 21, 2009

 

Fixed

 

- ROMs were not being shown correctly in game details screen, when tagged with bad checksum (ROMs List)

- Media type of CHD based games was not being set correctly when creating a MAME games list

- Single game scans were not updating the games list file (.el) correctly in some cases

- After adding/deleting games to/from favorites/hidden games list, the memory vars were not being updated with the new game selection

- Found ROMs info in game details screen was not including CHDs with bad checksum

- Main window out of focus after exiting MAWS game info

 

Changed

 

- CHD files are verified thru its SHA-1 checksum now (header version 3 and 4). Unfortunately, CHD files that use a header version 1 or 2 are not supported by the front-end anymore!

- You must create your MAME games list again

 

Improved

 

- MAME CHD files are correctly validated now, by detecting the "MComprHD" tag and the header version. If the tag doesn't exist, the CHD file is set as invalid, and the MD5/SHA1 checksum is not verified

- Game details UI changed a little bit. CHD files are also listed in the "Game Files" section. It shows file found or missing status, and the version of the header next to it... )

 

Added

 

- Support for MAME 0.130u1

- Detection of the new version 4 header (CHD files). Headers version 1 and 2 are no longer supported by the front-end

- New CHD type added: "PCMCIA" in "\ini_files\chd_mediatype.ini" (used when creating MAME games list)

- New games filters added: "Taito G-Net System" and "CHD - PCMCIA"
