Raine 0.97.5 !

[Tux]

Ok, nothing major this time, release mainly due because of an update for the appimage files for non arch linux distributions !
So here are the changes anyway (mostly in chronological order):
 - lots of script updates from ffman1985, including sf2 serie (sf2, sf2hf, sf2ce, ssf2 and ssf2t, hsf2), the sfa serie (sfa, sfa3, sfz2a1, sfz3jr2, sfz2alj), and the marvel serie (mvsc, mshvsf, xmvsf) ! Impressive work... !
 - Rom region selection in the gui for sf2hf, sf2, sf2ce, sfa, xmcota, mshvsf
 - some big fixes in the converter I used to convert the cheats from mame, which allowed to fix quite a lot of things, I didn't fix everything because there was no report at all about that, and it's a long process. I just fixed the biggest games.
 - Fixed black screen for shaders when using scanline-3x during game
 - mer-curious updated samurai shodown 2 perfect edition to the latest romset
 - added some cheats and hiscore saving for dkongex and dkongjp (all dkongex cheats are not tested).

That's all, nothing major, but still quite a lot of changes...

Oh yeah also the 2 appimage files are updated to be in sync with the latest windows builds, and I'll update the linux arch files now... !

Hello Tux! Thank you so much for this new release.

I'll play with it in next days and then report here if I find something wrong.

There has also been some recent updates to the SDL2 library. I'm not sure if Raine can benefit from them, but some fixes are related to game controllers, so it could be useful to some users maybe...

Thank you so much again for your continuing support of Raine, and also ffman1985 for his great contributions too!

Oh you could speak more clearly by saying they finally released sdl3 as I suspected would happen soon...

Well I didn't know, but if the switch to sdl3 is as involved as the one from sdl to sdl2 then it won't happen now for raine...

edit : and after a quick look : yes it's involved, and so it will take time, and well maybe the time is right to stop raine here, sdl2 will continue to be supported anyway.

Hello Tux!

I meant the SDL2 library in the Raine DLLs package. I think the version in the package is 2.30.11. The one currently available in the SDL GitHub page is 2.32.2.

You can check all the changes and bug fixes here:

Thank you so much for your attention.

Oh didn't notice there was also an update for sdl2, it's quite hidden now by sdl3.

For that no problem, you can download the dll yourself and place it in the raine directory to test, you can check the sdl version in the about dialog.

Actually in arch I didn't see it because the usual binary package was just replaced by sdl3, to get the updated sdl2 I need to compile it using aur, which is not automatic... ! What a mess... !

Doing that now... !

edit : updated all my sdl2 versions now, linux and windows !
