GnGeo 0.7 released

[Robert]

Neogeo emulator for Unix

 

2006-08-31 - GnGeo 0.7 released!

A new version of GnGeo has just been released!

 

It features various enhancements such as the official switch to a directory (with one file per ROM) instead of a single & huge file (the old romrc) to manage all the ROM drivers in a more flexible way, many GP2X port improvements (easier way to exit, new menu system, bug with volume change fixed...), the addition of a biospath option which is now used to define BIOS files location instead of rompath that now only indicates where to look for ROMs (ie. BIOS may be in a separate directory than ROMs), etc.

 

You may see the complete changelog for details and grab GnGeo 0.7 packages (including GnGeo2X) from our new BerliOS project's download area.

 

By the way, you certainly noticed the new layout and available pages. An emulator such as GnGeo deserved a better website, so now there is a lot more content, an updated pastel design, and the whole is 100% dynamic and standard compliant! Enjoy

 

Changes in 0.7

* GP2X/ARM Save state support for cyclone and drz80
