EMULOADER Version 6.5 change log - February 21, 2012

Fixed:

• Since MAME 0.144u7 main CPU tags have a " : " char in the tag name (-listxml output). Dunno why they did this... :_(
  

Added:

• View game info from Progetto EMMA website, since MAWS is offline and there's no ETA on its return (if ever)
  
• To change between them, go to main menu "Images", and select one of the options. "Progetto EMMA" will be the default setting from now on
  
• Support MAME v0.145u1: new CHD header v5 detection (no compression type detection though)
  
• Support new settings for the latest Supermodel 0.3a-WIP ("Supermodel Default Settings" and run games)

System Driver Changes:

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

-c64: Added support for the following cartridge types: [Curt Coder]

COMAL 80, Dinamic, Fun Play, GeoRAM, Magic Desk, Mikro Assembler, Ocean,

Rex, System 3, Westermann, Zaxxon, Super Games, Epyx Fast Load,

Dela EP7x8, Dela EP256, Dela EP64, Rex EP256, Ross, Structured Basic,

EasyFlash, StarDOS, Warp Speed, ExOS, MACH5, Magic Formel.

- Added support for the Commodore IEEE-488 cartridge. You can now connect any

IEEE-488 disk drive to C64 and even another cartridge using the passthru.

(e.g. mess c64p -exp ieee488 -exp:ieee488:ieee9 sfd1001 -cart2 congo)

- Added support for .CRT cartridge image files. Only standard cartridges

(8/16KB) are supported for the moment, soon all will be assimilated.

 

-lynx: removed game_not_working and game_imperfect_sound flags [Huygens]

fixed sprite scaling bug (fixed blue lightning).

Implemented mikey sleep register (viking child, dinolympics timing corrected)

Fixed timer value reading bug (used for pseudo random number generation in blockout)

Update of layout screen measures approximately 72x46mm (not 4:3)

 

-next: Normalize the delegates, split the different NeXT variants [O. Galibert]

- Handle command-~

- Make the floppy work

-n64: Multithreaded RDP. Speedups of 1.6x to 2.8x have been observed. [Ryan Holtz]

- Modified VI_V_INTR_REG and VI_V_CURRENT_LINE_REG actually be treated as half-lines,

not full lines. Fixes Rampage: World Tour video.

- Modified code to interrupt at the line specified by VI_V_INTR_REG, rather than a

fixed 60Hz vblank interrupt.

- Doubled the number of available span structs on the stack, fixes crashing in

Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, and probably others.

- Partially fix PIF access, several more games recognize cart SRAM, cart FlashROM,

cart EEPROM, and controller paks

- Fixed missing text in Super Mario 64 and other games.

- Added skeleton 64DD driver. Boots the 64DD IPL, but does not emulate the hardware yet.

- User Note: You will need an unmodified 64DD IPL dump. NOT one that has had the

first 4K replaced with a CIC-6102 or other game's boot block.

- Tweaked MI interrupt handling to guard against interrupts getting "lost"

- Hook up 64DD RTC and interrupts. Please insert disc.

- Warm reset support.

- Get Jet Force Gemini to boot and Ocarina of Time to boot without crashing.

- Use bitmap.fill instead of a manual fill when blanking to avoid trashing memory.

- Return DP start/end/current/status/clock registers at correct window for RSP to see.

- Clear DP clock when requested by writing the right bit in DP_STATUS_REG.

- Avoid modifying SP DMA length register during DMA, to return correct reads

on SP_RD_LEN and SP_WR_LEN.

- Fix Super Smash Bros. booting.

- Don't try to call render_triangle_custom if a DrawTriangle command generated no spans.

- Include the delay slot when checksumming single-instruction blocks in the MIPS3 and RSP DRCs.

Fixes Sim City 2000 (Japan).

- Various PIF fixes, gets Command & Conquer to boot and games to recognize and save to controller paks.

- Added a trivial Y reject to N64 triangle draw commands. Fixes crashes in both Castlevania games,

Virtual Pool, and maybe others.

-ti99: The Grand TI-99 Family Rewrite, using class structures and modern address maps [Michael Zapf]

-wswan: converted rotation to core method used by lynx [Huygens]

controls are rotated with the console for vertical games

buffered sprite table data (fixes pbobble etc.)

corrected voice audio mode (voice volume is unsigned not signed)

-vic20: Cleaned up cartridge interface, and added preliminary .CRT image support. [Curt Coder]

-next: Add information and correct some about the various next roms [Lord Nightmare]

-a7800: Added reasonable return values for the TIA collision registers [Dan Boris]

-hec2hp: Fixed regressions [JJ Stacino]

 

Software Lists:

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

-mbc55x.xml: added software list for the Sanyo MBC-550 and MBC-555 systems [Kaylee]

 

Source Changes:

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

- ISA Gravis Ultrasound device [barry Rodewald]

- Work on et4000 16bbp and 24bbp video modes [Carl]

- Made generic serial port and RS232 port as slot devices, implemented pc mouse as example device [Carl]

- 68040 CPU: FSAVE fix, Add correct idle frames, Show the correct virtual map [O. Galibert]

- Added basic wrapper for Diamond Multimedia (Cirrus Logic based) ISA SVGA [Kaylee]

- Added null_modem and serial_terminal as slot devices [Carl]

- i386: Fix cmpsb (dir /s and edit works now) [Carl]

What's new recently?

4.03

• added: multi SoftwareList support; see below for details
  !!! when importing MAME, you're asked if you want to import software lists since even MAME got some. If you're not familar with it, don't import them !!!
  
• added: chd version 5 support
  removed internal chd decompress/verify process. Deep validation is now done directly by calling chdman. For this, you need to go to Settings->Compressor->ChdMan and setup the path (if not included in %PATH% env variable already) for chdman. Also the default validation command needs to be entered. Default is given for latest chdman which comes with 145u1. !!! Older versions require -verify %1, the current one verify -i %1 !!! During validation you see the chdman console window, so you can see the progress. Removed option for read sector map and show bad metadata. Cmpro now only reads the various headers and checks the sha1/md5 there. Also I've added an option in the chdman dialog to select your prefered chd version. If found chds don't match, you will get a warning during scanning. This replaces the old upgrage/downgrade messages. !!! The current default value here is 5. You should set this to 4 if you did not update yet !!!
  
• added: samples extensions wav, flac, ape and sam are supported
  
• added: profiler context menu option to clean cache for single profiles/folders
  
• misc: show warning if sysdefpaths aren't rompaths plus option to auto add them
  
• misc: don't warn about not active sysdefpaths when no path is assigned
  
• misc: setinfo shows standard/mechanical/device/etc in separate branches
  
• misc: systems dialog list standard/device/etc with new captions
  
• misc: improved fuzzy name check in case of double checksums
  
• misc: some general packer handling for empty filenames in archives
  
• misc: some more descriptive rar error messages
  
• misc: removed warning if rompath names match setnames
  
• added: compressor / general option to warn about identical names in archives
  
• fixed: crash on 7z entries with no filename
  
• fixed: possible memleak on illegal 7z file timestamps
  
• fixed: wrong progress title & cancel handling when auto-moving to sysdefpaths
   
  Multi-SoftwareList support: This version brings you multi-software list support, i.e. multiple software lists within one xml will be read (single software lists are also supported of course, no matter if they are standalone or with outer ). Multi software lists are handled like this:
  
  • all sets (no matter if they got identical names) are added to the current games list
    
  • for each software list, a new system (system picker dialog) is added
    
  • you have to assign unique sysdefpaths to such new 'systems'
    
  • profile is named after the 1st and last software list (in case of an exe import, the profile is named after the exe profile description)
    
  • fix dats export all missing files
    
  • datfile export (setinfo window) does NOT export software list roms
    
  • setinfo window's select-sets edit box got a new variable (%l) to pick roms from a given list
    
  • scanner output of a missing set additionally lists the software list (can be enabled/disabled via context menu view)
    

  EXE improvements:

  • in case of an exe -listxml output (like MAME/MESS) you're asked if you want to include found software list. You see a list of available ones and can select none, some or all. In case of some, your selection will be remembered for a possible future update of MESS/MAME
    
  • in case of 'all', the exe is run once again with -listsoftware
    
  • in case you picked some, cmpro runs "-listsoftware softwarelistname"
    

  Keep in mind that you can drag'n drop rompaths in the settings folder for a quick way to add all your software lists paths. Then you can use the auto assign option in systems to setup the belonging sysdefpaths. You can of course still use singe software list profiles if handling via sysdefpaths is too complex for you.
