 MEKA 0.72 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 10:54 AM CET | Comments: 0 | SMS|GG
|
| - First of all, the video system was converted to use hi-color modes (no more palettized/indexed mode, welcome to the 21th century!), effectively increasing compatibility and glitches with newer video hardware, overally simplifying development, and allowing proper emulation of advanced palette effects on the Game Gear. The blitter system was also improved in various ways, with simplified configuration and default setting more friendly to today's computers.
- Various minor emulation issues were fixed, including cases crashing the emulator, extended 224 lines video mode and Z80 and ColecoVision interruptions behaviours.
- As for the interface, the theming system configuration style was revamped and new shortcuts were added to aid quick manipulation in debugging sessions (CTRL-F4, CTRL-TAB).
- Development tools were given a huge boost in this version. Added line history. Added conditional breakpoints. Added display line event breakpoints/watchpoints. Added SET commands to modify registers. Added the possibility to spawn multiple memory editors. Added a CLOCK commands to assist timing code. Added edition of VDP registers. Added a brand new tilemap viewer, with various filters and information display, etc.
- And generally various tweaks and fixes as well as portability improvements.

| Hatari version 0.95 has been released. This release brings you basic Atari TT and Falcon emulation! Please note that both new emulation modes are still highly experiemental,some few games and demos work, but most still have more or less big problems. Basic emulation of Falcon video shifter (Videl), NVRAM and DMA sound is in place. The biggest drawback: There is no working Falcon DSP emulation yet.
Other things that have been added / fixed:
- Screen/Shifter emulation timings have slightly been changed. Some things now work better, some others work worse...
- Some patches for compiling on RiscOS and AmigaOS have been included.
- Compiling Hatari for Windows now works better.
- Added Hatari icon (hatari-icon.bmp).
- Fixed "movec" bug in 68020 CPU mode.

MEKA WIP 2007-05-08 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 10:46 AM CET | Comments: 0 | SMS|GG
|
| Great news: I finally took the time and fixed all leftover blitters problems that were introduced when switching to hi-color mode. Meaning that I should now be able to release an official 0.72 version! - It's not lacking features compared to 0.71. This WIP version should be the last, consider this as a Release Candidate for MEKA 0.72. Please report any problem you may find with it.
The new video settings are located in the .cfg file, they don't have an interface as of yet but things should work pretty well without tweaking them.
Ports:
- Preliminary MacOSX port. [Proppy]
Compile and run under a x86-based MacOSX system. Missing sound (due to Seal) and debugger (unknown problem to resolve). Looking for someone who wish to improve and maintain this port.
Blitter/Video:
- Fixed HQ2X stretched blitter when target output was not 16-bits. [Omar]
- Fixed TV Mode blitters broken since since switching to hi-color. Implementation is slower than previously, but it works well. [Omar]
- Removed obsolete "scanlines" blitter, in favor of "tvmode". [Omar]
- Stretching works on all blitters. [Omar]
- Video depth, Vsync, Triple Buffering and Page flipping are now global video settings, removed from each specific blitter. Greatly simplify configuration and tweaking. [Omar]
- Triple buffering doesn't interfere with the refresh is not supported by the current settings (eg: windowed mode), making it safe and more simple to always leave it enabled. [Omar]
CPU:
- Z80: Fixed RETI behavior (same as RETN, copying IFF2 to IFF1). Fixes pausing in SMS Robocop 3 during legal screens/introduction, probably other infrequent cases. [FluBBa, Omar]
- Z80: Accepting NMI doesn't copy IFF1 over IFF2, as suggested by Sean Young's "The Undocumented Z80 Documented". [Omar]
ColecoVision:
- Fixed emulation of pending NMI, pending flag is cleared when reading VDP status. Fixes "Rock 'N Bolt" among other. Thanks to the anonymous poster on SMS Power! forums. [Omar]
- Note that the compatibility list for ColecoVision titles is severly outdated. At some point, James Carter worked on a new, more accurate list, but I lost all contact with him.
NES:
- Fixed video rendering, broken when switching to hi-color modes. [Omar]
- Added PRAM support in Memory Editor. [Omar]
- Added 8 palette switching in Tile Viewer. [Omar]
- Note: NES emulation is humor legacy code and won't be supported.
GUI:
- Sorted default themes, removed non Sega 8-bit related themes.
- Now embedding background pictures in regular binary distribution.
- CALL FOR NEW OR IMPROVED THEMES SUBMISSION! Please contribute.

SNEmulDS 0.5 beta Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 10:15 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Nintendo DS
|
| This version aims to improve in sound and graphics. As the emulation becomes more and more complex, it is more and more difficult to add new features without breaking the emulation overall, so some new feature will not be enabled by default for all games. The configuration file select which features are enabled or not, and becomes very important (so don’t forget to put it in the root directory!).
I tried very hard to improve sound, and i succeeded to get much better musics in some games, but there may still some “pops” or “cracks” sometimes, and the sound can slowdown or goes mad in some rare circumtances (the ARM7 seems not powerful enough).
A new menu has been added : the GFX config menu, this menu offer a simple way to change the GFX behaviour in real time. The emulation is not stopped like in the options menu, you can enable/disable several features and see which ones are better for the game. (See README for more informations)
Here is the list of changes
• Changed the Sound timers, now the timers should be a bit more accurate and removed the timers hacks
• Moved back the Sound RAM in the fast ARM7 RAM, removed unused code from ARM7 codes
• Now support sprite address change during frame (limited to two addresses by frame), this makes Ogre Battle much more playable
• Left handed people can now enjoy the SNES mouse option (right buttons can be used like left joypad).
• Options can now be saved in configuration file
• New SNES config menu
• Fixed some bugs
Optionnal feature (enabled by configuration file):
• Added sound synchronisation fixes, this is a set of flags that make ARM9 slowdown or make ARM9 wait for the ARM7. Those options make Square games (and other games) sound much better, but also break sound in other games. So this option is available through the configuration file. I only changed for the configuraiton file for Chrono Trigger, SOM1 and FFVI. You will have to modify the configuration and test the options for other games.
• Added priority per tile for BG3, by detecting if there are more low or high priority per tile at each line (see README)
• Added priority per tile for BG1 and BG2, by using the fourth DS layer. Low priority tiles go to fourth layer, and high priority per tiles (this idea was taken from SNESAdvance).
• Sprites priorities can now be changed. See configuraiton file for more informations. The default is 1123 but 1223 makes some games look better (like Castlevania IV first level for instance)

 SNESGT 0.218 Released

A new version of this SNES emulator has been posted, no list of changes is available in english though. Here's a crude translation by google langauge tools:
| - envx of sound DSP, correcting the behavior of the outx register
-- 0.217 So [enbagu] correction of those which are done
- Correcting mounting the sprite priority rotation
-- Correction of the bug which damage indication of FF mystic QUEST turns to rear
- Correcting the address mirroring of the SPC port
-- MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS operation
It is there is no excessive big renewal point but, bug entered to the relation of sound with 0.217, because sound has become strange with wide-ranging title, made to release new version.

| - The sound processing was considerably sped up. In sound chip so not fast or personal computer environment so not fast, a clear sound might have come to be played. And, tone quality has improved, too.
- Graphic processing was sped up a little.
- In "Langrisser", ADPCM-voice is correctly played.
- The forwarding of V-RAM was modeled on a real machine. In "Langrisser", the status display when scrolling became correct.
- The processing timing when CD-ROM was accessed was modeled on a real machine. "Ys IV", "Popful Mail", and "Mugen Senshi Valis", etc. have improved. ("Ys IV" and "Popful Mail" can be played with stability by installing data by "Install" of "CD-ROM" menu.)
- In "Card Angels", It came to be able to do men's tip (when winning, it keeps pushing I and II buttons). And, three button pad is automatically connected.
- The processing speed was modeled on real machine more. In "Chou Aniki", the problem that the screen uncommonly falls into disorder was solved.
- In "Super Darius II", a little disorder of the high score list display was solved. And in the scene of shop of "Forgotten Worlds", the same problem was solved.
- If the game that has executed "Install(CD speed-up) menu" is started, the display of the message of the CD-ROM recognition changes from the display of "CD:" into "In:".
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

Raine 0.50.4 Released

| * bezel improvements :
- fixed the locale problem (linux only ?), now bezels aren't affected anymore by the locale
- when using yuv overlays and bezels, the bezel size is taken into account when choosing the size of the game screen (the bezel was cut previously).
- Now redraw correctly the bezel on the game window when it needs to be redrawn (previously you needed to return to the raine menu and back to the game to force the bezel to be redrawn).
- Fixed the 24bpp bitmaps (instead of 32) for the bezels, and the 8bpp bitmaps used for some masks (it allows pacman style bezels to work correctly now)
- Fixed the mmx causing problems when trying to load a bezel with an emudx game using alpha blending.
- Fixed horizontal bezels (they never worked, but since I could find only the one for superman which is horizontal, it probably went unnoticed !).
* Prevent a crash when a game loading function aborts (like when trying to load msh).
* Fixed bad loading of warrior blade (this one uses a bezel to fix the extreme aspect ratio of this double screen game).
* The autofire is coming back in an improved form : once you have enabled autofire for an input, the "Autofire controls" will be available in the menu, which allows you to choose a different key for autofire (which can be usefull for games which have a charge mode - I got the idea from the ps2 version of gunbird !).
* Add joysticks'hat support in windows : this should allow the gamepads which didn't work in windows to be recognized now (the hats are what we usually call the cross on a gamepad - it's mapped as a new virtual stick on the joystick now). Notice that it's windows specific, linux already maps the hats to virtual sticks at the driver level, which means that no hat support is required in linux.
* Fix mouse handling in bshark, opwolf, spacegun and syvalion
* Fixed changing mouse buttons assignement in the gui (Inputs), it was cycling and assigning the wrong button...
* Analog controls support : now you can select which device you want to use as an analog device from the gui, in the inputs section, and even calibrate it (usefull for some devices like the pedals of the gran turismo steering wheel !). This device is automaticaly used if configured in chasehq, night striker, continental circus and space gun (no more fake dipswitches for chasehq).
