| gsdx:cmake: Fix logo dependency issue
Changes to the dependencies of the generated logo files did not trigger
a rebuild of the files. Use add_custom_command instead of
execute_process so build dependencies can be specified.
Also prevent the generated files from polluting the source directory.
gsdx:linux: Fix missing logo on some Linux distros
The pixdata format loader has been removed from recent versions of
gdk2-pixbuf, so the logo doesn't load. Avoid preprocessing the data and
leave the logo as an embedded bitmap file.
gsdx: Avoid const strings in header file
This prevents each .cpp file that included stdafx.h (IOW everything)
from having its own copy of the strings.

 melonDS 0.1 released
Posted by LyonHrt @ 07:03 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Nintendo DS
|
melonDS the new opensource by StapleButter has been released.
Here's the release notes
| Features
* almost-complete 2D graphics
* 3D graphics (software renderer) with texturing, alphablending, lighting
* input: keyboard and joystick, touchscreen
* backup memory
* booting from the BIOS
* resizable video output window, preserving aspect ratio of individual screens
How to use
melonDS requires BIOS/firmware dumps from a DS. You can dump them with the following dumper.
The files must be placed in the same directory as the melonDS executable, as follows:
* bios7.bin -- ARM7 BIOS, 16KB
* bios9.bin -- ARM9 BIOS, 4KB
* firmware.bin -- firmware, 256KB or 512KB
Note: the DS-mode firmware in the 3DS isn't bootable. It only contains the bare minimum required to run DS games. Be sure to enable direct game boot when using a firmware dump from a 3DS.
Settings
Emulation: settings related to emulation. For now it lets you enable direct game boot (directly runs the game instead of going through the firmware).
Input: allows you to configure keyboard and joystick input. You can change a mapping by clicking the corresponding entry, then pressing a keyboard key or joystick button. For now, joystick input uses the first joystick available if multiple joysticks are plugged.

| GSdx-PCRTC: Minor modification to NTSC saturation
Allow the output circuit saturation to take place at cases where one of the output circuit is enabled with frame mode rendering, I'm not sure it would be safe to allow saturations when both of the output circuits are enabled with frame mode rendering. Unlike field mode rendering, frame mode doesn't use identical rectangles at same co-ordinates for output in two alternating fields and potentially they could use a much bigger output size when both of the output circuits are enabled and are separated without any intersection. So let's limit the saturation to only the cases where we detect a single output circuit for frame mode rendering.
Fixes a regression in Devil May Cry 3 and Sky Gunner.

MAME 0.184 Released
Posted by LyonHrt @ 10:59 AM CET | Comments: 3 | MAME
|
mamedev has released its new mame as its the last wednesday of the month, and as usual its what's new is a long list of changes and additions.
Here's what they have to say:
| Well, it’s the last Wednesday of the month, and I hope you know what that means: it’s time for your regularly scheduled MAME release. There aren’t a huge number of new working machines in this release, but there are some significant improvements. Thanks to kazblox, MAME now emulates some of the peculiarities of Famicom clone hardware, and thanks to shattered, emulation of the Agat-7 Apple II clone is improved. Peter Ferrie provided a superior Apple II language card implementation. We’ve got lots of additions to the BBC and PC software lists from Nigel Barnes and darkstar.
We’ve made substantial improvements to some of MAME’s non-emulation features. The -romident verb is now much faster when used on a folder or archive containing multiple files, and will identify ROMs for emulated slot devices that aren’t inserted by default. The -listxml output now includes all linked devices, and is produced at least 30% faster. We’ve also improved -verifyroms so it covers more devices and is faster when verifying ROMs for a subset of drivers/devices.
MAME 0.184 includes support for plenty of newly dumped versions of supported arcade games, including a rare US prototype of Shanghai III, the world release of Super Crowns Golf, a version of Flashgirl that shows the Kyugo logo, a German version of Raiden II, the Japanese release of Radical Radial, and bootlegs of Bomber Man and Phoenix. There are also several new chess computers, and even more Aristocrat Mark V gambler sets. If you’re interested in the TI-8x graphing calculators, it’s now possible to get an emulated TI-82 or TI-85 to communicate with another emulated instance or with a program running on the host computer over a socket.

You can get the release and source from the usual download page.

 Cxbx-Reloaded Patron page
Posted by LyonHrt @ 02:08 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Xbox
|
cxbx-reloaded now has a patron page.
LukeUsher has started a patron page for the emulator cxbx-reloaded, and has this to say:
| Cxbx-Reloaded is a work-in-progress Xbox Emulator for Microsoft Windows. Thanks to recent developments, it now boots more titles than ever before and is finally making progress at a steady rate. This is very exciting, but there is still a lot of work to be done.
Money received will go towards funding myself to spend more hours working on Cxbx-Reloaded, purchasing games to test, and purchasing equipment required to further develop the emulator.
|
So if you want to back this emulator of the original xbox, then its worth checking out, plus there are several videos of work in progress games, if that doesn't encourage you to donate :)

GameEnd (Gaming & Emulation Frontend) Progress Update
Posted by Danny @ 07:55 PM CET | Comments: | Frontends
|
Hey there Gaming & Emulation enthusiasts!
As you may have seen previously, I've been working on a Gaming & Emulation Frontend called "GameEnd". GameEnd is a Gaming & Emulation front-end that works with any Emulator and also supports your Windows & Steam Games.
I've been churning away at it since then (programming), along with getting extremely valuable Graphical & Video work done from the amazing NyNy77. We've been making substantial progress lately and decided it was time to share an update. We are constantly nearing closer and closer to that elusive public beta that I previously spoke of.
Checkout the latest preview video below:
https://youtu.be/zczlidU0Kxk
Update on features that were not implemented at the time of my first post:
- Couch interface: Platform Wheels. Status: done.
- Metadata scraper: Automatically retrieve images, game details etc. Status: done. I want to add more scraping sources before the public beta, to offer wider coverage.
- Asynchronous Metadata retrieval: Download metadata whilst continuing to use GameEnd at the same time. You're not blocked until the metadata is downloaded. Status: Done.
- Game Editor: Edit your games details and settings. Status: done.
- Fast performance. Status: Has seen several optimizations done since the initial post. It is currently performing well, even on the most modest of hardware, based on the limited testing pool we have tested on so far. Several sections of code have also been re-written to offer better performance.
- Couch Mode Startup Videos: A video that plays upon starting Couch Mode. Status: Done.
- Folder restructuring: A unified folder structure is now used across the program. Makes finding and keeping your data organized a breeze.
- Theme support: Images and positional theming. Status: Partial. Support has been added for basic theming, we just are working on finalising the theme structure before finishing off the data hookup. The idea is that theming should be accessible to everyone. You dont't have to learn a language (XAML, XML, CSS, etc) to be able to create a theme. Themes will be written in JSON, which is accessible to everyone, regardless of experience.
- Improvements to the Standard View: I decided to remove the ugly box that shows behind a game when the mouse is over it, as it's clear what game you are on due to the mouse cursor anyway. I added a nice fade in/out animation instead, and I think it adds to the clean presentation of the UI. You can see this in the preview video linked at the top of this post.
- Tons of other bug fixes, improvements and error handling/warnings. The idea is that GameEnd doesn't leave you in the dark. If you're trying to do something and something is preventing it from working, GameEnd will let you know, in laymans terms, what is wrong.
As before, here are some new Q/A's.
So, when can I test this elusive beta?
Soon! I've had some problems with my chronic pain condition that have made progress sporadic. Hard to give estimates due to the nature of my illness. I'm hoping I can get this into the masses hands in a few weeks.
However, I am going to run a limited testing group for the pre-public beta, for any members registered on the Forums*or*Slack channel.
This isn't a ploy to get you to sign-up, it will just be easier on me (support and stress wise) to fix bugs and help people initially when there is a smaller pool of people to work with. It also allows me to catch any major bugs before the masses start using it.
If you don't want to sign up, that's fine. You'll still get the beta, just when it's ready for wider public consumption.
I also don't want to release this too early (to the masses). First impressions are important, and I want it to at least have moderate feature parity with existing Frontends before unleashing it into the world.
What's with the poor quality visuals in the video?
Currently I'm stuck with terrible DSL with 0.4mbps upload speeds. So I had to record the video at a lower quality than I would have liked.
I am supposed to be getting fiber broadband (100mb apparently) soon, so hopefully I can crank up the quality settings for future videos.
Who made those cool platform videos and where can I get them?
The theme and platform videos were created by the talented nyny77. He is currently the official graphics and video artist on the team.
They are not available for download yet (seems pointless). The videos will be able to be downloaded directly from within GameEnd itself, via the click of a button. I decided to use this method to keep the GameEnd download size small, for people who don't want to use platform videos.
Who's currently part of the team?
Currently just me (programming) and NyNy77 (graphics, videos). I'm sure that once we release the beta and release the source code, the team will grow substantially. Naturally depending on the popularity of the program.
Anything I can do to help?
Signing up on our*Forums*and the*Slack channel*is very beneficial to the project. It allows me to get feedback on WIP items as I develop them, and also will give you access to the first pre-public beta. Feedback is valuable and I value any time you spend with me on either the forums or slack discussing GameEnd.
I can't promise that i'll implement every suggestion, but I will consider any and all ideas.
I would also love some help with getting a consolidated list of command line arguments for various Emulators. Especially for the less commonly used ones. If you want to help with this, please do so via the forums or slack channel that I linked above.
Do you accept code contributions?
Not at the moment. But the code will be released when the program launches. When that day comes, I will gladly accept code contributions.
Why do you want me to join Slack or your Forums to become a pre-public beta tester?
Slack is an IM (instant messaging) application that allows realtime chat between members. Having the ability to discuss any issues you have when testing in real time is a huge timesaver and a much better form of communication than email say, for this specific use case.
If you do not wish to join Slack, then our Forums is the other option. The forums, whilst not being realtime like Slack, is powered by Invision Power Board, which is a powerful Forum software. It allows feedback and issues to be consolidated in one place, and for me to reply to specific users. Our Forums also support TapaTalk, which allows easy Forum access via your phone/tablet.
Thank you for reading, and I am looking forward to hearing your feedback as always. Keep on truckin'!

Of course, I'll also be posting updates right here on EmuTalk :)

cemu 1.7.3 released
Posted by LyonHrt @ 03:09 PM CET | Comments: 3 | WII U
|
cemu has finally released its highly anticipated 1.7.3 version of cemu, in this version we finally saw the newly launched latest zelda breath of the wild work.
| # New in public release:
general: New game profiles
# New in 1.7.3d:
GX2: 1.7.3 accidentally broke compatibility with pre-1.7.3 cached shaders. This hotfix restores backward compatibility.
Also made some adjustments to guarantee this doesn't happen again in the future.
# New in 1.7.3b/c:
JIT: Fixed potential softlock for busy-wait loops which use the LWARX/STWCX instructions
GX2: Fixed incorrect shader source generated for streamout write exports when the shader is optimized for float-only
# New in 1.7.3:
JIT: LWARX instruction now consumes multiple virtual cycles. This speeds up busy wait loops.
general: Screensaver/Standby should no longer come up while a game is playing in Cemu
coreinit: Added API LCDisableDMA(), LCGetAllocatableSize(), MPResetTaskQ(), OSPeekMessage(), OSEnableHomeButtonMenu()
coreinit: Fixed bug in LCEnableDMA()
coreinit/FS: FSOpenFile() is no longer blocking CPU execution
coreinit/FS: Added internal support for priority-based path overloading
coreinit/FS: Cemu will load patched game files automatically from mlc01/usr/title/../../
ACP: Added ACP library. New API: ACPCheckApplicationDeviceEmulation()
AOC: Added proper support for AOC library. Addon content (DLC) is automatically loaded from mlc01/usr/title/../../aoc/ or mlc01/usr/title/../..//
AX: Fixed internal ADPCM playback offset calculation for addresses above 0x80000000
Input: Fixed bug that caused non-keyboard buttons to be detected as keyboard input
GX2: Improved implementation for GX2CalcTVSize() and GX2CalcDRCSize()
GX2: Shader code optimizations. Up to 40% faster compile time for float-only shaders (measured on NVIDIA)
GX2: Added support for shader OP3 CNDGT_INT instruction
GX2: Added support for vertex format FMT_16_16_16_16, nfa=0, signed=0
GX2: Fixed software streamout reading format 32_32_32_FLOAT incorrectly
GX2: Added support for vertex shader gl_PointSize export
GX2: Fixed a race condition in which the GPU7 command processor could run ahead of the current write pointer before GX2Init() was called
GX2: Fixed sampler min and mag filter value being read from wrong register bits
GX2: Added support for streamout binding the same buffer as input and output

Mednafen 0.9.43 released
Posted by LyonHrt @ 02:01 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Multi System
|
Mednafen the multi system emulator has been updated, now to 0.9.43
| Notable changes since 0.9.42:
PSX: Reduced DualShock rumble latency by 1 frame.
SS: Added multitap emulation, enableable via settings "ss.input.sport1.multitap" and "ss.input.sport2.multitap".
SS: Added steering wheel emulation(for "Virtua Racing", and other racing games that lack 3D Pad analog support).
SS: Added Mission Stick and Dual Mission Stick emulation.
SS: Added 101-key US keyboard emulation.
SS: Fixed hang in "F1 Challenge".
SS: Fixed missing voice acting and related hangs in "Magic Knight Rayearth".
Reworked how input grabbing is handled. The new way uses only one key combo(CTRL+SHIFT+Menu), and will adapt its behavior based on any keyboards being selected on any virtual input ports or not(refer to the documentation for full details). A new setting is added, "command.toggle_grab", and two settings were removed, "command.toggle_grab_input" and "command.toggle_cidisable".
Emulated keyboard(FKB, Tsushin, Saturn) key state is now only updated when input grabbing is toggled on.
