Haldrie Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Looks like I better start collecting some roms for this when you release it. I am truly impressed. BTW, you said earlier about adding sound support but never said if you actually had or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.S.D Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 The Lemmings screen do me in already! I can't wait to use this Keep it up, Olaf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olaf Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 No, I have not added in sound. This will more than likely require the help of someone else, as sound is *absolutely* not my thing. I haven't asked anyone yet, but I know someone people who can. Let's not be disgruntled that sound support will be a little late! Also, I have added layer disabling, below are some screenshots of it in action. No layers disabled. The background layer disabled. The sprite layer disabled.

retroK Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Maybe you can simulate sound by putting in comic style speech balloons with e.g. bang, boom... j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooney Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Wow. Those are some amazing improvements! When are we gonna see a release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olaf Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Well, I was unhappy with the way full screen mode looked (stretched graphics causing ugliness), so I fixed it. Now, when switched into full screen mode, olafsms will scale the screen properly in relation to the Sega Master System's original resolution (which most emulators do anyway, but I was having trouble with). I have also added in saving of screenshots and the option to switch into full screen mode when you load a ROM. Last, but certainly not least, I've done some rather extensive work on how input is handled. I made it completely configurable (vbSMS was not configurable at all) and added a configuration window for it. In related news... I've added support for PC gamepad input! What's great about my method for this is, the buttons/directions are technically mapped to your keyboard configuration, and it also detects PC gamepads "on-the-fly". If for some reason you decide you don't want to play with the keyboard anymore (or some other off-the-wall situation), just plug in your PC gamepad without closing/restarting the emulator! Below are screenshots of the newly updated configuration windows. Also, Mooney, I'm thinking about making a release pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Wow, more real progress! I assume you can press Alt+Enter to toggle between window and full-screen on the fly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olaf Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 (edited) Actually, the full screen toggling is done with the Esc key (like Project64, an emulator I use very often). Also, I just fixed background layer disabling (the column on the left won't show anymore when that layer is disabled. The difference can be seen below when compared to older screenshots.

olaf Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Had to rename "olafsms" (even though it wasn't the final name anyway) to vbSMS+. A lot of people in the SMS emulation/gaming scene didn't like that I completely renamed the project and put my name in the emulator title. I can see where they wouldn't like that, and I don't want to make anyone mad at me. vbSMS+ makes a good mid-point in between renaming and not using the original name.
