Mastergear 2.5 released

[Robert]

SMS/GG emulator

 

The Latest Version of MasterGear is 2.5!

 

This release adds the new "soft video" rendering mode, better scnaline simulation, and fixes multiple bugs. Both MG-Windows and MG-MSDOS use the 640x480x15bpp screen mode now. The MG-Symbian includes the new "Fill&Soften" zoom option and fixes stability problems that occured in the last release.

 

New in This Version

 

* Fixed a bug that caused crashes on files with unknown extensions. These are now assumed to be SMS cartridges.

* #ifdef SOUND finally retired from the code. The sound code is always compiled in anyway.

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

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

* Added -zoom/-nozoom option to MG-MSDOS that will zoom SMS/GG display to fill the whole screen, using image softening algorithm.

* Added -sync/-nosync option to MG-MSDOS to sync screen updates to the timer (use -vsync for VBlanks).

* Added [CONTROL]+[F8] key combination to MG-MSDOS to toggle display zoom on/off.

* MG-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 MG-Symbian. It is rather slow though.

* Fixed a bug with MG-Symbian being too fast.

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

* Fixed exit via Symbian-specific menu.

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

* Updated documentation to reflect newly added features
