Release 0.96, 10 May 2005:
- Everything from MAME 0.96 (http://x.mame.net/changes-mame.html) and
MESS 0.96 (http://x.mame.net/changes-mess.html).
- Fixed the RGB to YUV conversion used by the Xv driver so that it
conforms to the CCIR digital component video specifications. Fixes
Bugzilla bug 691. (Alex W. Jackson)
- The rows of the OpenGL bitmap used for 16bpp games are no longer
misaligned in some cases; nagano98 now displays without doubled
lines.
- The behavior of "-listgamelist" should once again match the Windows
side with regard to case-insensitive sorting and the treatment of
leading "The" and "Le".
- When a specific joystick device is designated with "-joydevname
(-jdev)", it is now always treated as the player 1 joystick.
- The built-in profiler works again. (Colin Howell)
- The X11 build now properly sets the standard window properties.
(Christian Birchinger's friend)

- added generic 64 bit target support
- x86_64 target support
- initial APIC support
- MMX/SSE/SSE2/PNI support
- PC parallel port support (Mark Jonckheere)
- initial SPARC64 support (Blue Swirl)
- SPARC target boots Linux (Blue Swirl)
- armv5te user mode support (Paul Brook)
- ARM VFP support (Paul Brook)
- ARM "Angel" semihosting syscalls (Paul Brook)
- user mode gdb stub support (Paul Brook)
- Samba 3 support
- initial Cocoa support (Pierre d'Herbemont)
- generic FPU emulation code
- Virtual PC read-only disk image support (Alex Beregszaszi)
pkgsrc changes:
Applied Hubert Feyrer workaround for the x86_64 target (patch-aw).
And always is defined as share/examples/rc.d
which was the default before.
This rc.d scripts are not automatically added to PLISTs now also.
So add to each corresponding PLIST as required.
This was discussed on tech-pkg in late January and late April.
Todo: remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR uses in MESSAGES and elsewhere
and remove the RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR itself.
The most important/visible changes from 0.3.1 to 0.3.2 are:
x) NetBSD/cobalt can run from a harddisk image. (Installation
must be done using another OS though, for example NetBSD/pmax.)
x) Some minor fixes to make the binary translation system a bit
more stable.
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).
