The two most visible changes from version 0.3 to 0.3.1 are:
x) Name change (from mips64emul to GXemul).
x) NetBSD/hpcmips can now be installed and run from a harddisk
image on an emulated NEC MobilePro 770, 780, 800, or 880.
The source code use some global register variables, and gcc 2.95
reports errors because the header files contains "static inline"
function definitions before the global register variables are
defined. Reordering the includes is too much work, so just fall
back to normal (non-register) globals when using gcc2.
Changes since 0.90 includes:
- Everything from MAME 0.95 (http://x.mame.net/changes-mame.html) and
MESS 0.95 (http://x.mame.net/changes-mess.html).
- Forcing Xv to use YV12 ("-force-yuv 2") no longer causes rotated
games to segfault. Fixes Bugzilla bug 679.
- Fixed the aspect ratio of the MESS SuperVision driver so that it's
quadratic. (PeT)
- Fixed several problems with the front-end "-list" commands: The MESS
commands could segfault, some commands' headers were misaligned, and
"-listpalettesize" was causing the ROM list to print.
- Worked around or fixed a double-free on exit in xmess.
- Fixed a segfault on startup that occurred when four or more joysticks
devices were found.
- The SDL joystick driver now works with multiple joysticks attached.
- The SDL sound driver should produce much better output. Also fixed a
potential deadlock.

for vmware and vmware3 packages. Based on suse_vmware, with the unnecessary
bits removed.
Package provided by Robert Elz in PR pkg/29561, but added grep RPM,
which was found necessary too.
GXemul is a machine emulator. The initial goal was to write a simple
64-bit MIPS emulator for running multiprocessor experiments with a
microkernel, but the emulator can be used for many other things. While
some simulators only simulate a CPU, GXemul also simulates other
hardware components, making it possible to use the emulator to run
unmodified operating systems, such as NetBSD, OpenBSD, or Linux.
[previously known as mips64emul, it was renamed because now
supports more cpu archs than MIPS, as sparc, ppc...]
25/03/2005 *** v2.16 ***
- Uses DatLib v2.4.
- Fixed another crash with datutil -X and 'forcemerging full'.
- Changed the delimited format to use \N for NULLs.
- Changed the delimited format so that all types are 'game_*'.
- Changed the delimited format so that games include 'runnable'.
- Added save support for a DISK section in the RomCenter format.
- Added several aliases for the output formats (see notes above).

07/03/2005 *** v2.15 ***
- Uses DatLib v2.3.
- Fixed a problem with counting parents (happened with DatUtil -X).
- This also avoids a crash with datutil -X and 'forcemerging full'.

- Fixed a problem with counting parents (happened with DatUtil -X).
- This also avoids a crash with datutil -X and 'forcemerging full'.
- Initial implementation of a true Richedit control.
- Shell extension for browsing Unix directories.
- More MSI work.
- PBuffer support in OpenGL.
- Window painting regressions should be fixed.
- Lots of bug fixes.
prevent the installation of certain configuration files like e.g.
"nsswitch.conf" which might conflict with files in the host system. This
should fix the problems with running OpenOffice on NetBSD systems using
NIS as reported by Jan Schaumann in PR pkg/29025. Bump package revision
because of the above change.
