    PAMOD 1.0 Released!

    in Hacking and Homebrew News [/hax]

    So, what is it you ask? Well its a lightweight and simple, yet fully customizable MOD player. Featuring skinsupport, so that you can make your own 100% custom MOD player! All your friends will be jealous as hell... thats guaranteed!

     

    I wrote a pretty big readme that i hope you all read before you try it out, as it tells you all there is to know about operation. The skin configfile also has explanations on how the commands work.

     

    Since this beauty doesnt work in emu (GBFS, that bastard!) i have no awesome pixel perfect screens to show off. Instead however, i took one with my digicam, it doesnt really do it justice, but hey, it'll do...

     

    Features:  

    # Plays good ol' MODs!

    # Custom skin support

    # Very easy to manage files

     

    Too-do List:

    [] Smoother fadein at boot.

    [] Smooth scrolling when holding down up/down on the pad.

    [] Use custom fontmap (if VRAM allows it.)

    [] Fix sscanf parserbug and make a bit more dynamic parsercode.

    [] Add more options too the configfile

    [] Add support for.raw in filesystem (?)

    The reason why most accessory controllers fail is because of the fact they are only for one or two games. By making it a standard controller for all of their games it should do better then the accessory controllers in the past.

     

    I can play Duck Hunt and Gumshoie all day on NES but its still only for a few games.

     

    I loved the Time Crisis series in the arcades but I don't feel its worth it to buy the game with its light gun if its only going to be used for that one game.

    bSNES Bugfixes

    There was a slight problem with anomie's HDMA notes. Specifically, you must set the DoTransfer flag after decrementing NTLRx, otherwise if you have a table entry of $80, two transfers will occur. This fixes the bug in Charlie's stage in SFA2. I also did some tests and verified that enabling HDMA mid-frame does not clear the DoTransfer flag, however the flag is cleared at the start of a new frame (probably during HDMA init). It is possible this flag is cleared at the end of HDMA (V=225/240), but there's no real way to tell. The result is the same either way. The only edge case I can think of is to try enabling overscan at V > 225, and then enabling HDMA and seeing if a transfer occurs or not. I'll do that later.

     

        I also fixed a bug with color add/sub, and it fixed both Energy Breaker and the ToP opening battle screen! Finally. That ToP bug annoyed the hell out of me.

     

        Energy Breaker seems to work perfectly now, even the world map has zero glitches that I can see. The only problem now is that Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest has an odd glitch with HDMA on the map.

     

        Lastly, I finally feel that the accuracy of the emulator is good enough to block VRAM writes outside of vblank. This means a few fan-translated games that won't run on hardware will no longer work in bsnes. On the positive side, it should hopefully fix glitches in a few commercial games such as Peter Pan. I even found a neat quirk. If you write to VRAM at exactly V=0,HC=6, it will write the CPU MDR (open bus value) to VRAM. Hah. Reads/writes to VRAM with the display disabled ($2100.d7 set) always work. When it's clear, then they only work during vblank. They will not work outside of vblank and inside of hblank. Also, reading from VRAM outside of vblank usually returns $00, $01, or $ff. I haven't found the pattern yet. Maybe it's even returning some of the VRAM the PPU is accessing? Who knows. Writes to $2116 update the VRAM read buffer, this won't work either outside of vblank.

    Two new must-haves for gamers

    in Gaming and Tech News [/gtech]

    Yeah Quake 3 blew. However the replay value for most FPS is their online play. From what I hear F.E.A.R. really bites. The single player demo was fu nand ran great, but the full game does not work on my PC. From what I've heard Quake 4 isn't very impressive in terms of graphics compaired to Doom 3. It's slightly upgraded but nothing new.
