Source Changes

------------------

Fixed a few more remaining issues from the 0.101u1 update. [Aaron Giles, Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

 

Fixed some bad tiles in naname. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

 

Fixed music tempo in T.N.K.3/T.A.N.K. [R. Belmont, Kold666]

 

Began adding support for SCRIPTS programs to the 53C810 emulation. [Nathan Woods, R. Belmont]

 

Fixed inputs in Passing Shot (Japan). [Ange Albertini, Barry Rodewald]

 

Added some missing sounds to Wonder Stick and Search Eye. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

 

Fixed status flag from MCU in Taito SJ games, fixing the last digit of the score in Front Line. [Nicola Salmoria]

 

Many fixes to the SHARC core and Konami PPC drivers. [Ville Linde]

 

Updated the discrete thump sound in Asteroids to use component values instead of derived equations. [Hans Andersson, Derrick Renaud]

 

Added Tilemap0 color banking to esd16. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

 

Fixed save/restore of 8253 PIT. Also several updates to Top Gunner: [Mathis Rosenhauer]

* Removed shift register since it just seems to be needed to

    compensate for different DAC speeds

* Added 8254 PIT from PC emulation

* Added state saving

 

Fixed bug in PSX GTE flag settings. [Olivier Galibert]

 

Fixed 6502 initialization so that all internal states are reset properly. [Nathan Woods]

 

Changed the makefile so that debug objects are not compiled on non-debug builds. [Aaron Giles]

 

Marked most gfx_layout and gfx_decode structures in the code as const. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed handling of the FR bit in the Status register on MIPS3. This fixes a few problems in CarnEvil, and probably affects a few other games as well. Also fixed bug where TLB exceptions were not filling in the Context and EntryHi registers correctly. [Aaron Giles]

 

Removed ROMREGION_SOUNDONLY. Since -nosound no longer disables sound CPUs or sound cores (and hasn't for a while), failing to load sound ROMs was only leading to crashes. [Aaron Giles]

 

Implemented pixel-accurate dithering in the Voodoo emulation. [Aaron Giles]

 

Renamed my_stricmp to mame_stricmp, converted all uses of stricmp in the code to call mame_stricmp, and #defined stricmp to something invalid to prevent code from using it in the future. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed implementation of mame_stricmp. [William Krick]

 

New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status

BSNES is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulator

12/Nov/2005 - bsnes v0.014 released

This version adds speed regulation, greatly improves PPU rendering, and increases speed by ~30% over the previous version.

 

Changelog:

* Rewrote offset-per-tile mode emulation, should be correct now. Fixes Chrono Trigger, Contra III, Tetris Attack, etc.

* Fixed a bug with HDMA occuring during interrupts. Fixes Tales of Phantasia sound test screen

* Updated compiler to Visual Studio 2005, and enabled profile guided optimizations

* Added conditional compilation of debugging functions (faster without them)

* Added conditional compilation of core classes as pointers (allowing polymorphism) or objects (allowing inlining). The latter results in a speed increase

* Small fixes to BG and OAM rendering routines

* Corrected sprite tile bounds wrapping

* Corrected sprite rendering in hires video modes

* Rewrote color add/sub routines, should be correct now. Fixes Illusion of Gaia menu, etc.

* Optimized video blitting routines, will temporarilly break mixed video mode screenshots

* Prevented selecting menu options via return key from being recognized as keypresses by the emulator

* Added system speed regulation (60hz/NTSC or 50hz/PAL)! Many thanks to kode54, GIGO, and Richard Bannister for their assistance

 

I disabled the debugger and polymorphism, and enabled profile guided optimizations for this build, to maximize speed. The debugger and polymorphism can be re-enabled via uncommenting the respective #defines in src/base.h and recompiling, or bsnes v0.013 can be used. I may start releasing two separate builds in the future... not sure yet.

Hoxs64 is a Commodore 64 emulator

12 November 2005 v1.0.3.8 : Possibly the world's first emulator to fool "Emu-fuxx0r v2".

=========================

1) Cycle based sprite emulation.

2) "Emu-fuxx0r v2" by Plush2K compatibility. The "Quick speed" toggle must be switched off to pass the "Emu-fuxx0r v2" test. This is because the "Quick speed" toggle disables the SID emulation.

3) DExx memory compatibility.

4) SID digi boost option.
