Gens 2.14 (souvenir) - 21 May, 2006 Posted by Stef

 

No, you're not dreaming, a new version of Gens is out.

But to be honest don't expect many changes from the last (and old) version. See it as a bugfix version.

Gens 2.12b accidently added "fake" support of sega CD save state. I just forgot to desactivate support (which was very partially implemented) before releasing the version.

With Gens 2.14 (you can get it in the download section), we now have much better support of Sega CD save state (thanks to Upthorn, he did the job here), but it's still not really safe to use it as i doesn't work every time.

SGG ENV support was desactived from the YM2612 since it brings severals bugs in the core unfortunatly.

Some others minors stuff were modified, consult the history file to know more about them.

This version is provided by DarkDancer (Thanks )

To be honest i don't work myself anymore on the old sources of Gens.

I started a complete rewrite of Gens sometime ago, i don't have many free time but i won't give up on that piece Just be patient

More older news to catch up with..

0.6.1:

 

* PCE:  The HuC6280 disassembler now gives @ZP hints for BBR and BBS instructions.

* NES:  Increased the effectiveness of frame-skipping.

* Removed unnecessary sound buffer copying if the source format == device format in SexyAL, which is true most of the time.

* Fixed a bug that was causing a crash in the cheat interface when trying to list cheats, under Win32.

* Fixed a bug in the settings loading code that forced the user to resort to manual creation of ~/.mednafen/mednafen.cfg on some operating systems(*BSD, OS/X). It was being caused by 'errno' being modified between the attempt to open the settings file, and the test 'if(errno == ENOENT)'.

* Silent sound will now be outputted when in step mode in the debugger.  Windows users' ears rejoice!

* Added a strtod() replacement that recognizes both "." and "," as valid radix characters, regardless of the current locale, and modified settings.cpp to use it.

* Lynx:  Removed some unused code.
