DS emulator

It's that time again. This release is primarily a bug-fix release. The new features that are included in this release though are the ability to change the firmware language and some improvements to the *nix port’s opengl code. Also those people running Mac OS X should now be able to compile and run DeSmuME pretty well now.

Beta 9:

 

- ROM scan dialog listed "available" even if configuration required 2 ROMs (like CDTV or CD32) and only one was available.

- if fullscreen resolution is smaller than GUI size, moving mouse to screen borders moves the GUI dialog. (in future this means it is now possible to increase GUI size to 800x600 without too many complaints)

- CD32 CD audio end position detection and signaling, interrupt handling finally implemented, fixes non-looping audio tracks, (for example Brian the Lion), and games that freeze (for example Fightin' Spirit, Base Jumpers)

This past month we’ve had a lot of excitement and improvements to the code. Most visible is of course the quick progress on the CPS-3 games, which are now all fully working and playable thanks to the work of Andreas Naive, Haze, ElSemi, R. Belmont and others. Phil Stroffolino returned from an extended absence and contributed a mostly working DJ Boy driver. Adam Bousley brought the early Taito classic Change Lanes into a working state. In addition, Zsolt took yet another crack at making the Neo-Geo driver more accurate and made some substantial improvements. Zsolt also took on the task of removing some legacy code which had been sitting around for years, updating many drivers to use more recent timing functions.

 

And in an odd twist of fate, this release marks the first time we have preliminary (read: not working yet) support for a bootleg arcade multigame system — based on an earlier hacked up version of MAME. In our attempts to document arcade history it seems we have inadvertently become a part of arcade history….

Front End

Good evening everyone. As some of you know, I've made big changes to this new build. Lots and lots of bloatware removed. This frontend was starting to be filled with junk all over again! I don't need to tell you that this is a "no no".

Several columns removed. Custom games and parental lock are gone. There are also a bunch of icons removed.

Fear not, there are a bunch of fixes both internal and visual, along with some new additions: New main menu "Games Filters" with extra filters not found in main screen's tool bar buttons, two new view types: "Game Artwork" and "PCB Hardware".

I hope you all like this new version. It took me more time to release it because I was trying to removing some odd bugs not easily reproduced.

 

Since this version have tons of changes, I really advise you to start a fresh installation, or you might get a few runtime bugs and the frontend might crash.
