 Play! News
Posted by LyonHrt @ 01:21 AM CET | Comments: 2 | Playstation 2
|
Play! the PlayStation 2 emulator for the Win32, OSX, iOS and Android platforms, has finally updated:
| Sorry for the long wait for this build! This was due to all the work that was needed to make CMake the official build system for the project. This should make it easier for other people to contribute the project. The CMake build configuration was used to generate this build and hopefully, we'll be able to deliver builds at a much faster pace from now on. In any case, here's the list of new stuff in this build:
- Compatibility fixes (ie.: Beatmania IIDX, Shin Megami Tensei, Silent Hill 2, Crash Twinsanity now boot (not necessarily playable though)).
- Add screen shot feature on Windows, macOS and Linux.
- Minor performance improvements.

microsoft now ban emulators from windows store
Posted by LyonHrt @ 08:57 PM CET | Comments: 1 | Xbox One
|
As many regulars to the forums have seen, and in emulation in general and development for xbox in general, with the Xbox live creators program opening up many opportunities for indie developers to publish to the xbox, but what about emulation?
It's come to no surprise that many have asked, and even have initially tried to bring emulation to the system, but after all the "maybes" windows store has finally updated its polices...
| 10.13.7
Games must gracefully handle errors with or disconnection from the Xbox Live service. When attempting to retry a connection request following a failure, games must honor the retry policies set by Xbox Games. When they are unable to retrieve configuration information for or communicate with any non-Microsoft service, games must not direct users to Microsoft support.
10.13.8
Games must not store user information sourced from Xbox Live, such as profile data, preferences, or display names, beyond a locally stored cache used to support loss of network connectivity. Any such caches must be updated on the next available connection to the service.
10.13.9
Xbox Live games must comply with the following requirements for service usage:
Do not link or federate the Xbox Live user account identifier or other user account data with other services or identity providers.
Do not provide services or user data in a way that it could be included in a search engine or directory.
Keep your secret key and access tokens private, except if you share them with an agent acting to operate your app and the agent signs a confidentiality agreement.
Do not duplicate the Xbox Live Friends service.
10.13.10
Apps that emulate a game system are not allowed on any device family.
|
So...erm that seems to be a nope then! Was it all that surprising, considering apart from google with its play store, you won't see emulators on any current un-hacked systems.
Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Dolphin progress report for march
Posted by LyonHrt @ 02:47 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Nintendo Wii
|
The march progress report for Dolphin is now available to check out.
| A group of Wii IOS changes were noteworthy enough to get their own article with the Wii Shop Channel finally getting compatibility in Dolphin. That's right, you can buy games from Nintendo within Dolphin, or, download titles you've purchased on your Wii in Dolphin, assuming you're using that Wii's NAND.
Other than that, the long awaited GPU Texture Decoders finally got merged for a broad performance increases and a new Bounding Box fallback path works on any machine that can run Dolphin. So we hope you can enjoy this breakdown of March's (and a little of April's) notable changes!

Some paranoia in CheckGLExtensions, due to a reported crash in strlen()

PCSX2
| gsdx: workaround AVX2 generated code by GCC
See commit for the full details.
v2: use a direct access to the union field instead of extract32
It gives us both optimal and working code.
GSdx: Add merge sprite hack to GSdx hacks dialog
Adds merge sprite hack to GSDx hacks dialog
And ports merge sprite hack to Direct3D renderers.
Special thanks to my keyboards Ctrl, c and v buttons for all their hard
work in porting this hack.
GSdx: Unscale Point and Line Direct3D11 port
Ports the "Unscale Point and Line" hack to the Direct3D11 Hardware renderer.
And enables the "Unscale Point and Line" hack for Custom Resolutions with Direct3D11 and OpenGL.
GSdx: Add Windows GUI for split texture filtering option
Adds Windows GUI elements of the split texture filtering options.
Bilinear Texture Filtering is moved to the top section of the main GSdx window,
and Trilinear Filtering is moved to Hacks.
GSdx: Shader & OSD window update
Adds Texture Filtering Of Display option to the Shader dialog window Windows UI.
Updates the layouts of the Shader and OSD dialog windows to more closely resemble the Linux GUI.
GSdx: Main & Hacks window update
Reorganizes Hacks dialog window.
Adds UI elements for the Memory Wrapping and HPO v2/Special commits
Adds advanced OpenGL functions "Geometry Shader" and "Image Load Store" to the Windows UI.
Renames "Configure Hacks" to "Advanced Settings and Hacks", to more closely resemble the Linux GUI.
GSdx: Direct3D port of HPO special/V2
Adds a port of the new Half-pixel Offset options for the Direct3D
Hardware renderers.
GSdx: Memory Wrapping Windows port
Adds GS Memory Wrapping hack to Windows. Enabling the hack will fix cut-off cutscenes in Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit and Thrillville.
gsdx: cpu detection take 3! Don't use 64 bits type in Xbyak::Cpu
Recent GCC uses SSE4/AVX code to optimize the 64 bits operation.
It is bad idea as it would generate an illegal instruction on
older CPU.
GameIndex: minor update
Update compatibility info for 2 games based on compatibility reports I
made earlier.
Fixes title for the PAL and NTSC-U releases of Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2.
And adds a fix for Sled Storm(confirmed to be required for both the PAL(SLES-50683) and NTSC-U(SLUS-20363) versions).
PCSX2: Console log widescreen patch folder message improvement
Improves the widescreen patch message when loading from the cheats_ws
folder instead of the archive.
PCSX2: Console log plugin message update
Remove full path from every plugin binding and only add it to the
preceding "Loading Plugins..." line.
Instead the revision date and version number are printed for each plugin
to make it easier to identify issues with plugin versions.
GSdx: Move Ace Combat 4 CRC hack to aggressive level and fix spelling issues
Ace Combat 4 CRC hack removes clouds for a good speed boost, which removes both 3D clouds(invisible with Hardware renderers, but cause slowdown) and 2D background clouds.
Removes blur from player airplane.
This hack also removes rockets, shows explosions(invisible without CRC hack) as garbage data, causes flickering issues with the HUD, and in some (night) missions removes the HUD altogether.
The CRC hack has been moved to the aggressive level.
Aggressive is misspeled several times in the file, this has been adressed.
