18th April 2006 - version 2.2c

- nds/tcm/debug: accepts "odd" (non-16MB-aligned) dtcm-base without warnings

- nds/help: specified recommended TCM areas (emulation performance friendly)

- web: added "no$nds" iomap screenshots, changed "gbanotes.txt" for v2.2c

- dos/help: dynamically counts help line numbers, then allocates helpptrseg buf

- nds/bugfix: fixed crash on nds-to-gba switch (hack_win_sizes post init_addr)

- nds/controls: supports new x/y buttons, fixed normal joypad input on nds7

- nds/debug: adjust_addr supports iopt, vram, and dtcm/itcm (also for 80x86 swi)

- dma/nds: masks-out unused sad,dad,len/cnt bits of nds7/nds9 dma registers

- dma/nds/help: added note about nds7-dma having same restrictions as gba-dma

- dma/gba: fixed various "write-only" emulation glitches of various DMA ports

- dma/gba/nds: supports rarely used 8bit DMA port access (by ldrb/strb opcodes)

- nds/cp15: emulates fixed cp15 bits, mirrored/unified cp15-pu-region-registers

- freeware version: re-fixed error-count (ignores bios-bugs, thanks dave murphy)

- nds/debug: full iomap, 10 tabs (Lcd-A/B/3D,CpMem/SpiRtc/Snd,DmaTmr/IrqIpc-7/9)

- nds/help: added note about absent cp15 fast context switching extension (fcse)

- nds/3d/help: added new chapter with 3D video specs (about 70% complete)

- nds/3d/fifo/pipe/load/push/pop/mul: emulated basic 3D functions (by software)

- nds/tcm: emulates unused CP15 bits=zero, ITCM not-moveable, ITCM/DTCM priority

- nds/tcm/help: rev-engineered DTCM vs ITCM priority, and NON-moveable ITCM

- nds/memory: moved GBA-SRAM address to A000000h (unlike GBA-style E000000h)

- nds/memory: moved GBA-EEPROM expected address to WS0 (unlike GBA-style WS2)

- nds/memory: truncated GBA-ROM to WS0 (without GBA-style WS1, WS2 mirrors)

- snaps: fixed snapshot load/save (memadr_regs instead bugged v2.2 memadr_vals)

- a22i: definitions by "global equ $" preserve @@local labels (unlike global:)

- help/htm: eliminated unwanted TABLE-spacing that appeared around PRE sections

- xboo: fixed silly bug that crept into gba-xboo-mode (@@non_nds -> AFTER ret)

xmame/xmess 0.105

 

xmame and xmess 0.105 are now available. If you recently upgraded to GNOME 2.14, please be sure to read the last entry in the list of changes for this release.

 

Changelog:

* Everything from MAME 0.105 (changes-mame.html) and MESS 0.105 (changes-mess.html).

 

* Fixed "-frames_to_run/-ftr" so that it works the same as on Windows.

 

* Fixed a memory leak in the plugin manager shutdown found by Valgrind. Bugzilla bug 850.

 

* The output of "-listroms (-lr)" now shows the correct driver name when it's run for all ROMs.

 

* Fixed a potential buffer overflow in the standard joystick driver. Bugzilla bug 821. (Pierre Riteau)

 

* In fullscreen mode, the display no longer appears underneath other windows when the window manager is Metacity 2.14.x. However, there's still a problem with keystrokes not being received, but you can use "-grabkeyboard (-gkb)" or left-ctrl + end as a workaround.

Change Log

 

 

Notes:

 

Save states have once again been updated to version 1.02.  However, they *should* be fully backwards compatible this time! ^^;;

 

To avoid problems, it is highly recommended that you delete your configuration file before running this new version.

 

This release adds OpenGL support.  However, the GUI was *really* not meant for that and thus is still kinda buggy and incomplete.  For example, the Main->Open... dialog doesn't work at all. x_x
