VGBA 3.4 released

[Robert]

GBA emulator

 

This release includes fixes to the line coincidence interrupts, EEPROM and FlashROM allocation, and several BIOS routines that have been causing memory corruption. The debugger has got a new GBA-specific view and several bugfixes that have been due for a long time.

 

Both VGBA-Windows and VGBA-MSDOS use 640x480 display mode now and include much better TV scanline simulation. I have also added a "soft video" mode that smoothes over pixelized edges.

 

VGBA-Symbian has also got a new "Fill&Soften" zoom mode, screen orientation and backlight controls. Several important bugs affecting VGBA-Symbian stability have been fixed, so it should be much more stable now.

 

New in This Version

 

* Fixed line coincidence bit not being cleared with each new scanline. This made Treasure Planet dialogs work.

* Fixed inline WRdARM() function to read from serial EEPROM.

* Fixed a memory corruption bug in the SoftReset() and RegisterRAMReset() routines. Lufia no longer crashes after a quick-save.

* Moved FlashROM and EEPROM memory allocation to ResetGBA() where it belongs.

* Now preserving debugger breakpoint settings when loading state.

* Now locking keyboard processing when inside built-in configuration menu or debugger.

* Added GBA-specific debugger view (press [N] in debugger).

* Added new, much better, scanline simulation and video softening effects to VGBA-Windows.

* VGBA-Windows full-screen mode now runs in 640x480 resolution.

* Now switching sound off when entering built-in menu in VGBA-Windows. This mainly affects melodic sound mode (i.e. MIDI).

* VGBA-MSDOS now runs in 640x480x15bpp VESA screen mode when -zoom or -tv options used, otherwise it runs in 320x200x15bpp screen mode.

* Added new "Fill & Soften" zoom mode to VGBA-Symbian. It is rather slow though.

* Added screen orientation and backlight controls to VGBA-Symbian.

* Fixed possible source of instabilities in the S60 open file dialog in VGBA-Symbian.

* Fixed exit via Symbian-specific menu.

* Fixed premature termination of the emulation thread when exiting VGBA-Symbian, soundtrack recording and config saving work again.

* VGBA-Symbian signed with a new certificate, as the old one has expired.
