 Ootake 1.39 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 12:04 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Turbografx 16
|
| - The resolution of the PSG sound (wave memory sound) has been improved. As a result, the tone has approached a real machine. On the other hand, processing is a little heavy. If a personal computer environment not fast is used, select "Volume"->"Light PSG" menu.
- Processing of drawing on the screen was sped up. Additionally, if "Volume"->"Light PSG" menu is used, the processing lightens. And, In the window mode of "Windows Vista", V-Sync comes to work, and compatibility with gadgets has improved.
- In "F1 Circus", the bug not to be able to start car (Generated from v1.29. Controller processing relation) was corrected.
- The processing speed and timing were elaborately brought close to a real machine. At the title screen of "Macross 2036", the problem that had fallen into disorder by one frame occasionally was solved.
- When "Private eye dol" is started, the message to recommend [CD Install ("CD-ROM"->"Install" menu)] is displayed. The screen display of the demo is steady by the "CD Install".
- It corresponded to the initial shipment version of "Linda Cube".
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

 NeoRaine 1.0.6 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 11:02 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Neo Geo
|
| • Fixed a stupid bug with the cache, never use xor to see if a memory area was changed. The + I now use is still not perfect, but it's much better, and it should be enough for what it's used.
• Fixed a possible crash when loading a savegame because I had forgoten to turn the cd music off before restoring a savegame...
• Add a "turbo" key : the default is del, you can change it in the gui, it just toggles the limit speed setting. If you are not limited by vsync, you can reach 700 fps in neoraine with yuv overlays when disabling the speed limitation with this key!

| - The volume balance of ADPCM voice was elaborately brought close to a real machine.
- The interrupt processing of the CD-ROM access was modeled on a real machine.
- In "Neo Nectaris" and "Macross - Eien no Love Song", the saving to backup-RAM became possible. * In "Neo Nectaris", when the state saving before v1.36 is loaded, the backup-RAM-saving might not be able to be done normally. At that time, please advance to the next stage, and it is possible to save normally.

 bsnes v0.028.01 source Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 06:25 PM CET | Comments: 0 | SNES
|
| While v0.028's release went a lot better than expected, there was one significant problem: it appears that the Linux OpenGL renderer did not work correctly on any of the four ATI graphics card drivers. It seems to be related to partial implementations of GLX v1.3 (you know, the ten year old Xlib interface for OpenGL?)
Rather than continue fighting these drivers, I instead opted to backport the driver to use GLX v1.2 instead. This seems to work on the fglrx, ati and radeon drivers. I don't know much of the radeonhd drivers, but I believe they lack 3D acceleration anyway.
sinamas also came up with an ingenius trick to work around the X Visual problem: that is to say, a GLX rendering context requires a window with the same X Visual as itself. But it's not possible to change the Visual of the existing window that is passed to the GLX driver. sinamas suggested creating this new window as a child window, and embedding that within the rendering window. This worked wonderfully, and eliminates the need for enumerating all available GLX contexts, which is why I needed the GLX 1.3 API in the first place. bsnes now uses the GLX-recommended Visual, which also eliminates a color problem that existed on the fglrx driver when using the default X11 visual.
I also removed the glClear command inside refresh(), as it was redundant and caused flickering on non-buffered visuals. It might even give a slight speed increase on some cards.
Lastly, [vEX] pointed out that I should use the -D flag for the install command in the Makefile. This has been fixed.
I'm not updating the Windows binary to v0.028.01, as absolutely nothing has changed in the Windows port yet. I'll update again when the Debian repository is synced with the new version.

bsnes v0.028 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 11:00 AM CET | Comments: 1 | SNES
|
| bsnes v0.028 has been released. The major focus of this release was cleaning up the code even more, and greatly enhancing the Linux port to be an equal with the Windows port.
For Linux users, please note that the safest drivers were chosen by default, rather than the most full-featured drivers. The active driver can be changed by editing settings->configuration->advanced->system.(video, audio, input), and then restarting bsnes. You can also edit the drivers by hand, by editing ~/.bsnes/bsnes.cfg
Available Linux drivers are: video ("opengl", "xv", "sdl" (default)), audio ("openal", "oss", "ao" (default)), input ("sdl" (default), "x"). In particular, the SDL video driver and libao audio driver are very poor performers. The SDL video driver lacks hardware accelerated scaling, and runs tremendously slow. The libao audio driver has horrendous, ~150ms+ latency.
OpenGL is the best video driver, but it requires OpenGL graphics libraries to be installed to use. These do not typically come with open-source video drivers. The Xv driver will at least allow hardware accelerated scaling, offering a tremendous speedup, but some ATI drivers have poor (or even missing) X-Video implementations.
OpenAL is the best audio driver, but ALSA works very poorly with it. OSS4 works far better with the OpenAL driver. The OSS driver has the lowest latency (~15-20ms), but requires the most CPU power. It too has problems when using the ALSA emulation layer.
While the SDL input driver is superior to the X driver (and is the default), if your joypad fails to work correctly and prevents you from mapping any keys (highly unlikely), you can always revert to the keyboard-only X driver. The SDL input driver also appears to cause a ~5-8% performance penalty, so if you don't have any joypads, the X driver may be a better choice.
At any rate, I strongly encourage you to try out each driver and choose the ones that work best for you.
Changelog:
• OpenGL (with hardware filter mode support) and SDL video drivers added to Linux port
• OpenAL (with speed regulation disable support) and OSS audio drivers added to Linux port [Nach]
• SDL input driver (with joypad support) added to Linux port
• Emulator pause option added
• Added option to select behavior of bsnes when idle: allow input, ignore input or pause emulator
• Added support to remap common GUI actions to key/joypad presses on the "Input Configuration" screen
• bsnes will now clamp the video output size when it is larger than the screen resolution
• GUI library has been enhanced, and renamed to hiro
• Fullscreen mode now always centers video, rather than approximates
• Fullscreen mode now works correctly on Linux/Openbox
• Extra layer of abstraction in src/ui has been removed, as GUI lib unifies all ports anyway
• Video, audio and input drivers unified into standard library, named ruby
• All custom headers have been merged into a new template library, named nall
• Makefile rewritten, vastly improved. Allows quick toggling of compiled-in drivers
• Makefile: all object files now placed in /src/obj, binary placed in /
• libco greatly enhanced, no longer requires an assembler to build [byuu, blargg, Nach]
• libco SJLJ driver added; bsnes should now build on any Unix-derivative now (Solaris, OS X, PS3, etc) [Nach]
• Fixed register $213e.d4 PPU1 open bus behavior [zones]
• Windows port will not activate screensaver while bsnes is running [Nightcrawler]
• Visual C++ target no longer requires stdint.h
• And lots more -- mostly code refactoring related

Ootake 1.35 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 09:57 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Turbografx 16
|
| - The function to convert a "bad 3Mbit Rom-image file (over dumped with specific dump machine)" was added.
* Operating a "bad Rom-image file" troubles other PCE/TG16 emulators. The converted "just proper" image file can be used with [a lot of other Free PCE/TG16 emulators], too. This is a "fair" method for the "PC Engine & TurboGrafx16" emulator and the PCE/TG16's fan.
- When setting it to "BigAudioBuffer Mode", the amount of the buffer was increased. As a result, tone quality has improved.
- "FullScreen Customize" menu was added to "Screen" menu. It is possible to use it by an arbitrary display resolution at full-screen. And, when the check is put on "FullScreen Resolution Auto Change" of "FullScreen Customize" menu, "display resolution" can be automatically switched by "resolution of the game (width 256,336,512)". * It is a function to use it on the display such as 15kHz cathode-ray tubes.
- In the SuperGrafx's game with black belt display right and left, the bug to which garbage had been ultra uncommonly displayed was corrected.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.
