Thanks to Pierpaolo Prazzoli (Reip) for putting together the 0.90 release while I was away

 

General Improvements

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

 

FD1089 decryption [Nicola Salmoria, Charles MacDonald]

- 100% accurate emulation of FD1089A, FD1089B should be considered 99%

because it will have to be verified with other CPUs (it is 100% for all

currently supported games).

 

- complete tables provided by Charles MacDonald for 317-0018 (Action

Fighter), 317-0022 (Dunk Shot), 317-0168 (Aurail).

 

- partial tables derived by comparison with the unencrypted versions for

Enduro Racer, Alex Kidd, 317-0024 (Time Scanner), 317-0033 (Alien Syndrome,

3 versions), 317-0027 (SDI). (actual working cpus are needed to obtain full

tables)

 

Big Sega Update [Aaron Giles]

* dunkshot graphics correct, controls hooked up

* sdioj controls hooked up

* timescna sprites fixed

* shangona, shangnle now playable

* toutrun road fixed

* all memory mapping code unified and moved into machine/segaic16.c

* all tilemap, sprite, and road code unified and moved into

  vidhrdw/segaic16.c

* improved documentation on the various register layouts on the video side

 

Note that in the process, I broke the title screen animation for Laser

Ghost, and there is now a 1-pixel column error on ddcrew's attract mode.

These are known issues that I will try to address soon.

Dolphin is a GameCube emulator for Windows.

• Mainly bug fixes.

Rice Video plugin is based on source from original Daedalus plugin made by StrmnNrmn. (N64 emulator plugin)

• Software vertex clipper problem fixes.
   
  
• OpenGL fragment program extension (Pixel shader in OpenGL)
   
  
• An optional Z coordinate hack for the near plane clipping problems in some games without using near plane vertex clipping
  

OpenGL finally gets to similar degree as DirectX. It is actually faster on my PC because I don't have to use software vertex clipper with it. OpenGL will do the vertex clipping. It still does not support frame buffer effects yet.

 

But, in order to use the new OpenGL pixel shader feature, you need to good video card to support OpenGL ARB_Fragment_Program extension. Radeon 9500 and better from ATI, and FX 5200 and better from Nvida will do it.

 

I have no plan to support frame buffer effects in OpenGL, and I will take a long break from this project after this release.
