DSEmu 0.4.7 is out

[doublec]

At the usual place: http://www.double.co.nz/nintendo_ds/dsemu.html

 

* Support for the X and Y keys have been added. This can be configured using the Options/Configuration menu option. The code for this was contributed by Normmatt.

* Many fixes to key handling. Anything but A and B keys were very buggy in previous builds. My 'keys' demo from my tutorials now works correctly and Space Invaders is now playable.

* Support for GBA games was re-added. It was removed when I first took up support of DSEmu until I understood the code better. It is now back in and will be maintained.

* The FIFO registers have been implemented. This is an important feature for DSLinux and a step towards support for the commercial downloadable demos.

* Various bug fixes in graphics code.

* The compuational accelerator registers have been implemented. Again, a steps towards support for the commerical downloadable demos. Contributed by Julien Hamaide.

* Workaround for 'console scramble'. There has been an issue since DevkitPro R14 which causes text output using the console output routines to be scrambled. I implemented a workaround in 0.4.6 but it didn't work for homebrew programs built with previous versions. I've been unable to fix the problem so far, so I added a 'Unscramble console text' option in the Options/Configuration menu option. If you run a game and the text appears scrambled, check or uncheck this, and it should correct the problem when you press 'Ok'. I hope to fix this in 0.4.8.

 

0.4.8 is going to have concerted effort to track down the known bugs rather than working on new features.

Thank you Chris, sounds good. I will do testing when I get home.

Excellent update.

 

Although there's a minor error you should fix on the site:

Under downloads you have the date as "15 August 2005" shouldn't it be 15 September 2005? =P
