Mednafen 0.4.5 released

[Robert]

January 25, 2006 - Mednafen 0.4.5 Released

Mednafen finally compiles AND works on Mac OS/X on PowerPC, and big-endian platforms in general. Woohoo.

 

0.4.5:

* drivers/opengl.cpp now includes the GL header files AFTER the header file that eventually loads config.h is included to fix compilation on Mac OS X.

* Redefined SFEND from { 0 } to { 0, 0, 0}, and fixed older code to use the SFEND macro, to fix crashing on OSX and possibly other platforms when saving or loading states.

* Reduced SDL's buffer size when using the SDL sound driver(used on MacOSX).

* Restructured and merged some of the sections in the autoconf script.  Note to future self:  I noted that it seems if the first instance of PKG_CHECK_MODULES() is in a statement that doesn't evaluate, any other PKG_CHECK_MODULES() statements will fail.  I don't know if this is a bug in autoconf, or a misunderstanding on my part.

* Removed the largely unused ESD sound driver from compilation, as it is mostly unsuitable for use in Mednafen.

* Also removed the jack driver, as it was unfinished, and couldn't be used anyway.

* PCE:  Fixed CD-DA playback from "WAV" audio files on big-endian platforms.

* Fixed a compilation problem on big-endian CPUs by adding appropriate type-casts in psf.cpp.

 

0.4.4:

* Modified the GBA code to not use many INLINEd functions in arm.cpp.  This greatly reduces RAM and CPU usage during compilation, and should have only a negligible impact on performance(and might even improve performance on cache-starved systems).

* Fixed a compilation problem on non-x86 and non-PPC platforms in the NES emulation code.
