CPS3 emulator for Xbox

Version 1.0a

 

- Fixed controls not being saved after configuration.

- Fixed sound interpolation settings not being saved.

- Fixed sprite/bg 1-pixel misalignment

- Fixed autoframeskip code when using PAL50 screen modes. I've added an option in the Video settings to select if you want to keep the PAL50 mode (and play at 50fps) or switch the xbox to PAL60 (not supported in old TVs). You must reset the emulator for this option to take effect.

- Rearranged the controls to a more standard layout:

- Insert coin is now the BACK button, Service (credit) is white button, Test is black button, GUI Enter/Exit is right thumbstick button.

- The Virtual Memory cache was being stored in the Permament Title Storage, in the current partition. Now it's stored in the Utility Partition, that is cleared when a new title is loaded.

>> Download link is the same as before.

Thanks to e-lation.

GB emulator

Gambatte is a highly accurate, cross-platform Game Boy / Game Boy Color emulator written in C++. It is based on hundreds of corner case hardware tests, as well as previous documentation and reverse engineering efforts.

 

I'm pleased to announce the first release of Gambatte. It contains a Qt4 GUI front-end with platform-specific extensions, as well as a simple command-line SDL front-end to the core emulation library back-end.

 

The Qt4 GUI version should work on MS Windows, Linux/BSD/UNIX-like OSes, and Mac OS X, and the simple command-line SDL version should work on, well, basically all platforms with a decent C++ compiler and an SDL port.

DOSBox 0.72 has been released!

 

This release fixes a few bugs that slipped through when releasing 0.71.

Here a list of the changes:

 

* Fixed unitialized variable in joystick. (Fixes crashes on Vista and Mac OS X)

* Some bugfixes and speedups to the 64 bit recompiling core.

* Fixed sign flag on soundblaster dma transfers (Space Quest 6 intro)

* Fixed a bug in keyboard layout processing code and fixed certain layouts.

* Fixed Dreamweb.

* Improved speed unlocking when running cycles=max.

* Fixed a crash related to the tab completion in the shell.

* Improved aspect correction code. Should now be like how a real monitor handles it.

* Fixed a bug in the xms status report code. (Blake Stone 1.0 shareware)

* Added a lot more keyboard layouts.

* Fixed crash related to changing the scaler before a screen was created.

* Hopefully fixed compilation on *bsd.

* Enabled auto cpu core selection for recompiling core as well.

* Made the used joystick selectable when 4axis is specified.

* Added some hints for inexperienced DOS users to the shell.

 

Compatibility should be same as 0.71 and 0.70 aside from the game specific fixes.
