Multi-system emulator

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 19:47:34 GMT - Mednafen 0.8.5 Released

This release fixes annoying graphical glitches in the PC-FX game Der Langrisser FX, adds a few new features to the debugger's log viewer, adds a setting to disable compression with save states, and fixes a crash bug on UN*X when using the soft IPS patching along with an uncompressed file.

 

0.8.5:

 

* Fixed a crashing bug when loading an uncompressed file and using the automatic IPS-patching feature when mmap() is available.

 

* PCE, PC-FX: All SCSI CDROM commands are now logged in the debugger's log viewer(when logging is enabled, of course).

 

* Added group support to the debugger's log viewer.

 

* PC-FX: Renamed the type of BIOS ROM font calls in the debugger's log viewer from "BIOS" to "ROMFONT".

 

* PC-FX: BIOS filesystem syscall(for backup memory access) calls are now logged in the debugger's log viewer.

 

* PC-FX: Added internal backup memory and external backup memory address spaces to the debugger's memory editor.

 

* PC-FX: In the 263-line mode, line 262 is now reported as being during blanking time(as on a real PC-FX). Fixes the annoying transparency layer flickering and other weird graphical glitches in Der Langrisser FX.

 

* Added setting "filesys.disablesavegz", to disable gzip compression when saving save states and backup memory. (In the case of backup memory, disabling gzip compression isn't supported for GB yet)

NOTES

=====

MAME Plus (whatever) 0.121 released with console support

 

Enlightened from this thread, we integrated MESS core into MAME Plus in the hope that MESS would get wider attention that it deserves.

 

"console games tend to push things harder than arcade ones, and often abuse chips in ways the arcade games don't", so that console emulation may potentially improve the level of accuracy in MAME. currently we have 3 drivers (ie. NES, SNES, Genesis) enabled, to evaluate console emulation in the MAME framework. we prefer not to have a fixed game list, as the MESS window UI already gives a console-ish emulator look and feel.

 

whether MAME 'Plus' still bears the name of MAME is merely a philosophical opinion.
