Our great friend, Two9A has updated his emulator! It has lots of new capabilities and features. Check out the information below.

Thursday, 17th March 2005

 

The new versioning policy is in effect. Minor code fixes will cause a letter change, majors a number change. And I've just had a major code change, in the form of a new GPU! Gladius has kindly donated the rest of his GPU after having already given a tile renderer, and now I can safely say I have multiple backgrounds, and they work.

 

It's not all his code, mind you; I've had to add mosaic, which was quite a task. However, as of now, I have a GPU that is more compatible and provides more features than the one I wrote, so I'm happy. Sprites are in gladius' original code, but I haven't yet ported them; that will come along soon.

Fixed some speaker settings

 

schaser - updated sounds to include missle effect and

fix dot sounds per schematics.

 

SN76477 emulation - fixed bug where gain was 3x more

then it should be, causing effects to clip for 2/3rds

of the time.

 

SN76477 emulation - fixes the attack time for one-shot

envelope mode.

 

Fixed crash in crash, ripcord and robotbwl and added

sample support to them. Samples not currently

Changes from Nathan Woods

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

 

src/sndintrf.c:

src/sndintrf.h:

- Added entries for two MESS specific sound cores

 

src/sound/wavwrite.c:

src/sound/wavwrite.h:

src/sound/discrete.c:

'wav_file *'

 

src/cpu/g65816/g65816op.h:

- This patch fixes a bug whereby the CPU could switch modes without

entering the set of functions for that mode. Specifically, if a mode

change occurs it will break out of the execute function and reenter the

correct function.

 

Changes from Nicola Salmoria

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

 

documented debug mode in TNZS

 

Fixed some bad gfx in Sky Lancer

 

Rebalanced Gyruss volume

 

NMK004 sound simulation

 

playmark.c updates

- Fixed sprite/tile priorities in World Beach Volley, and fixed SOME

priorities in Excelsior - but not all of them, the high score screen is

still wrong.

- Found bitmap enable bit, fixes girl pictures sticking in Big Twin and

Excelsior, and garbage graphics in Excelsior.

- Added rowscroll support, fixes wbeachvl37b7gre.

- As previously noted, wbeachvl37b16gre could be a genuine bug of the

original - I don't see how it could work otherwise.

- Fixed text tilemap scrolls

some "good" bits are trasparent)

- Added Continue dipswtich in Big Twin
