Changes since previous version:
Fixed a bug that was causing 2xscale/3xscale to be broken
when clipping the leftmost and rightmost 8 columns.
Added an iNES header correction entry for JustBreed.
Modified the MMC5 "ELROM" board emulation to not emulate WRAM.
Corrected various pieces of code that were causing compiler warnings.
When the PPU is in a "dead" state after starting up, the graphics
buffer is now cleared. Previously, particularly in the Windows port, when
a game was closed, and a new game was loaded, the last image from
the previous game would be displayed for a short time.
Removed some debugging code that shouldn't have been enabled in 0.98.11.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
Win32: Special scalers are now also supported in windowed mode.
For Scale2x/Scale3x, the fastest "desktop" bit depth is 16bpp.
For hq2x/hq3x, it is 32bpp.
The shared video blitting code(drivers/common/vidblit.c) can now
blit using Scale2x and Scale3x to any target bit depth(8bpp, 16bpp,
24bpp, and 32bpp) instead of just 8bpp, as it was before. HQ2x
and HQ3x can now blit to 16bpp, 24bpp(untested), and 32bpp. The
16bpp and 24bpp targets are done doing post-processing conversion,
after HQ2x/HQ3x, which really does hurt speed.
Changed a few names in the credits section of the documentation to
their aliases. Names you didn't get to pick to have are so
troublesome. :b I also made various fixes/updates to the documentation.
Updated the FAQ with some information regard video mode bit depths
and speed.
SDL: Disabled the fast-forward-key speed-limiting code. I thought
I had done this before...
Fixed a major bug in the movie recording code, and added some code
to automatically detect and fix playback of broken movies from
earlier versions.
Did a little swapping thing with mapper 90 and 209. I moved back
Mortal Kombat 3 to mapper 90, and moved Shin Samurai Spirits 2 to
mapper 209. Sorry for any confusion. Mapper 90 should be considered
as having the fancy nametable select mode disabled, with mapper
209 having it enabled.
Added support for mapper 160, which turns out to be the same hardware
as mapper 90. Joy.
Improved mapper 90 emulation. This mapper really needs low-level
emulation for IRQs to work right, though. :/
Win32: Fixed the "hide left/right 8 video columns" feature.
Since FCE Ultra is ending(or has already exceeded? :b) its
actively-updated life, I've gone ahead and added per-game hacks
for "Kick Master" and the PAL version of "Star Wars". See the
documentation for more details.
Minor optimizations to the high-quality sound emulation code. The
FIR filter code is the bottleneck, though, so these changes won't
have much of an effect on overall speed.
Altered MMC3 IRQ emulation(and the hooks in ppu.c for it).
Fixed a rather major typo in the VRC7-emulation code.
Famicom emulator.
FCE Ultra is an NTSC and PAL Famicom/NES emulator for various
platforms. It is based upon Bero's original FCE source code. Current
features include good PPU, CPU, pAPU, expansion chip, and joystick
emulation. Also a feature unique to this emulator (at the current
time) is authentic Game Genie emulation. Save states and snapshot
features also have been implemented.
