Changelog:
openMSX 0.14.0 (2017-08-03)
---------------------------
This release is another mix of some new features and additions and a lot of
smaller fixes and improvements. This release adds support for Konami Ultimate
Collection and basic emulation for the Spectravideo SVI-318 and SVI-328 pre-MSX
computers, increases FDC accuracy in such a way that we think all copy
protections (captured in a DMK file) should now run in openMSX. Moreover, we
now put the SDLGL-PP renderer as the default, so let us know how that works for
you. You can of course always set the old default setting for your system if
you don't like SDLGL-PP. But then we would really like to know why... We also
removed the Windows DirectX sound driver, as it was buggy and caused a lot of
complaints. And finally, we added a button in the top left corner to easily
invoke the OSD menu.
Here's the list with all highlights and details:
MSX device support:
- fixed VDP type of Sony HB-501P
- fixed a bug that caused hangups on some machines when resetting during the
logo animation
- fixed ROM block debuggable for Sunrise IDE
- improved accuracy of WD2793 FDC and disk drive emulation
- added support for Spectravideo SVI-318 and SVI-328 pre-MSX computers:
- most SVI support was implemented by Tomas Karlsson. With NYYRIKKI's help
we fixed most last details
- added in Contrib a tool to convert SVI disk images to DMK so they can be
used in openMSX
- added SVI support to several scripts (thanks to NYYRIKKI): cashandler,
type_via_keybuf, listing
- note the following limitations:
- only WAV images are supported for cassettes. The stereo feature
(music/sound on the other channel) is not supported.
- only DMK disk images can be used
- nothing is done to prevent the user to mix MSX and SVI hardware/software.
This will not work, of course. As we are not SVI enthusiasts ourselves,
we rely on contributions from others for the SVI support.
- added accurate M1 cycle emulation
- added support for ASCII8 mapper with 32kB SRAM
- added initial support for the ASCII paddle input device (paddle 1 and 2 only)
- added new machines: Bawareth Perfect MSX1, Al Alamiah AX370 (thanks to
alshamaa), and as already mentioned: Spectravideo SVI-318, SVI-328 and a
superexpanded SVI-328.
- added new extensions: Konami Ultimate Collection, ASCII Japanese MSX-Write,
ASCII Japanese MSX-Write II and Tecall TM220 MSX-RAMFILE
New or improved emulator features:
- performance improvements:
- reverse feature
- hq resampler
- fixed issue with remote connections on Mac OS X/FreeBSD
- changed default sound driver on Windows to SDL, because the DirectX sound
driver has been removed
- fixed creation of new HD images
- changed the default renderer to SDLGL-PP
- (probably!) fixed stability of MIDI-in on Windows. Unfortunately we didn't
find someone to help us test this properly
- also improved stability on external connections in general
- allow to specify initial content for flash ROMs. This way it is possible to
use MegaFlashROMSCC+SD like how the actual hardware is also shipped:
preflashed.
- several improvements on the listing command (thanks to NYYRIKKI)
- added automatic file numbering for record_channels
- added a tron script (thanks to NYYRIKKI)
- added script that records to a new AVI file if the framerate changes (thanks
to BiFi and FiXato for their initial version)
- added mapper selection to OSD menu for unknown ROMs
- automatically pad ROM files if they are not a multiple of the block size,
instead of refusing to run that ROM
- added OSD button to invoke OSD menu in the top left corner
- added VGM recorder script (by Niek Vlessert) to help you record MSX songs
into VGM files, supporting PSG, MSX-MUSIC, MSX-AUDIO, OPL4 and SCC
Build system, packaging, documentation:
- migrated from SDL threads to C++11 threads
- removed support for Maemo5
- moved Windows build to Visual Studio 2017
- upgraded C-BIOS to release 0.28
openMSX 0.13.0 (2016-07-31)
---------------------------
This again was meant to be (mostly) a bug fix release, but again it also has
some nice additions and improvements to enjoy. Important improvements are much
better support for VDP I/O delay in turbo machines (fixing graphics issues due
to too fast VDP access there), more accurate MSX1 color palette, progress
reporting for long operations and ALSA MIDI-out support for Linux. This is also
one of the first releases that drops support for older platforms: Windows XP,
Dingoo A320 (but introducing support for GCW Zero) and non-64-bit MacOSX. If
you still want to run openMSX on these, you'll be stuck on using a previous
release or start maintaining these platforms yourself.
Here's the list with all highlights and details:
MSX device support:
- fixed bug in ASCII-8 mapper of MegaFlashROM SCC+ (SD)
- fixed bug in border drawing in text mode with YJK/YAE bits
- fixed bug in LMMC VDP command that appeared in Baltak Rampage greetings part
- fixed bug in YMF278 (OPL4 wave part) preventing samples to be played sometimes
- improved R800 timing for the CALL instruction
- added missing hardware VDP delay in turbo mode of MSX2+ machines
- improved accuracy and completeness of the Matsushita switched I/O ports
device:
- added bits on turbo status and presence
- added the device to the Sanyo MSX2+ machines (without SRAM and turbo)
- removed fixed VDP I/O delay (because it is linked to the T9769 engine)
- added support for the different fixed VDP I/O delays of the different T9769
engines and added these to the configuration files of the machine that have
these (as far as that is known)
- added support for Epson Chakkari Copy, thanks to Rudolf Lechleitner and
Enrico Barbisan
- added 2MB MegaRAM extension (thanks to Mauricio Braga)
- added MIDI Interface 3 extension (cart that implements turboR GT internal
MIDI without BIOS ROM)
- added support for mapper of Japanese MSX Write
- added support for Spectravideo SVI-707 disk drive
- added support for the V9990 POINT VDP command
- added support for more realistic TMS VDP pallettes: it's now possible to
specify the saturation for the Pb and Pr channel (this is dependent on the
analog electronics in the MSX video circuit) which affects the palette. E.g.
all machines with TMS9x2x have a brighter palette now, as they should.
- added weird color palette of the Fujitsu FM-X RGB output (3 bit RGB)
- added a high-resolution timer extension: a cartridge with a 32-bit counter
that counts at 3.57 MHz. Useful for debugging and reverse engineering. Only
one such real cartridge exists :)
- added new machines: Aucnet NIA-2001 MSXturboR (thanks to PiterPunk/NYYRIKKI),
Frael BRUC_100 version 1 and 2 (thanks to RJP, FRS, et al), Pioneer UC-V102
(thanks to PiterPunk), Victor HC-80 (thanks to Daniele), Toshiba HX-23F and
HX-23 (thanks to FRS)
- added new extension: Sanyo MRS-001 RS-232C cartridge (thanks to mtn)
New or improved emulator features:
- fixed bug in parsing remote command XML (causing e.g. ROM names with special
characters not to get communicated to openMSX correctly from Catapult)
- fixed crash in 'reverse goback'
- fixed inserting a slotexpander in a specific slot
- fixed slowness issue when taking screenshots frame by frame
- fixed support of files larger than 2GB (e.g. hard disk images) on Windows
- fixed VDP status flag when using cmdtiming broking (infinitely fast VDP
commands)
- fixed excessive delay on 'reverse goto' with ram watch enabled
- OSD menu:
- fixed (un)plugging (connectors)/pluggables with spaces in their name
- fixed loading savestate with more than one . in its filename
- support up to 2 hard disk images (just like ROMs and disk drives)
- fixed bug that cassette image was removed when doing reverse goto 0
- fixed save_msx_screen for 2nd page of screen 7-12 (thanks to FRS)
- improved robustness of DirAsDisk
- added progress update reporting when doing operations that take a lot of time
(like calculating a hash of a large file or doing a large step in a replay)
- fixed unintended extra calculation of hash for hard disk images when
reversing
- made joystickN_deadzone setting's numbering consistent with joystickN_config;
both are now 0-based
- added debuggable for printer port, containing strobe and data byte
- added experimental support for ALSA MIDI out (Linux): now it's much easier to
connect MSX MIDI out devices to a soft synth or other application on Linux
- improved support for UNC paths on Windows (network drives)
- added a script to speed up the type command: type_via_keybuf (thanks to
NYYRIKKI for the initial version). Default type implementation can now be
tuned with the new default_type_proc setting.
Build system, packaging, documentation:
- to compile with gcc you now need gcc 4.8 or higher
- updated Visual Studio projects to Visual Studio 2015
- dropped support for Windows XP, because it seems Visual Studio 2015 has bugs
in supporting it
- dropped support for Dingoo A320, because its toolchain is now so outdated
that it can't compile the openMSX source code any longer
- added build, packaging and documentation support for GCW Zero
- dropped support for universal binaries on Mac OS X, as all supported Mac OS X
versions require x86-64 CPU's
- updated Tcl to 8.5.18
- updated libpng to 1.6.20
- now optionally link to libasound on Linux (for the ALSA MIDI support)
- added debug flag to build system that shows which commands are executed:
make V=1
- improved description on how to use MegaFlashROM SCC+ SD
openMSX 0.12.0 (2015-09-12)
---------------------------
This was going to be (mostly) a bug fix release. But at the end we also got
inspired by Grauw to add a lot of MIDI devices. And, reviewing what we changed
the last 10 months, we saw that we also got loads of help from several people
to add many new machine configurations and added some fun stuff like Sensor Kid
and (experimental) Beer IDE emulation. On the emulator features category we
give you stuff like triplesize video recording, some TAS enhancements and a
callback for too fast VRAM access.
So, enjoy this 'various features and bug fixes' release!

GitHub
openMSX 0.11.0 (2014-11-08)
---------------------------
This release brings you the following important new features: VDP access timing
now also for MSX1 modes (corruption with too fast VRAM access will be visible
now), implementation of most defailed differences between all used VDP chips
and emulation of MegaFlashROM SCC+ SD.
On top of that, there are some important (long standing) bug fixes, like the
proper implementation of envelopes for MSX-AUDIO, fixing for example "Copy is
Crime" by Impact.
And last but not least, a lot of work was done under the bonnet, giving you
even better performance and preparations for the future.
Here's the list with all highlights:
MSX device support:
- VDP:
- implemented access timing also for character and text modes (both for MSX1
VDP's and V99x8): too fast VDP access will now cause corruption on openMSX
too

research):
- the exact VDP type can now be specified in the config file
- differences between Toshiba T6950/T7937A, TMS99xx and TMS91xx MSX1 VDP's
are now emulated (except sprite cloning)
- updated many machine configs with the proper MSX1 VDP type (where known,
additions/corrections are welcome!)
- implemented that V99x8 does not support undocumented mixed modes
- fixed bug in 5/9th sprite detection status register
- added I/O port mirroring to machines of which we are certain it exists
- MSX-AUDIO (Y8950) and related:
- fixed envelope for MSX-AUDIO (Y8950), the infamous legato-envelope bug is
now finally fixed!
- fixed handling of key-off for percussive tones
- fixed detection of Philips Music Module in Tetris II Special Edition
- added emulation of MegaFlashROM SCC+ SD. Note: the implementation is such
that existing software works on it, but do not fully rely on it when
developing for this cartridge!
- improved Sony HBI-55 emulation
- fixed some details in several machine configurations
- fixed KANA/CODE key not working in CHARACTER input mode
- added the following machines: Daewoo CPC-51 Zemmix V, Daewoo CPC-300E,
Toshiba HX-51I, Yamaha YIS-503IIR, Toshiba FS-TM1, Sanyo MPC-10 (Wavy 10),
Yamaha CX5MII, Fujitsu FM-X (thanks to NYYRIKKI, Werner Kai, Maxim Vlasov and
Alex Krasivsky)
- added the Casio KB-7 and KB-10 docking stations (note: these extensions only
work with the Casio PV-7 and MX-10 respectively; do not be worried
when they appear to be not working according to Catapult!)
- added the MSX Acid Test machines, contributed by FRS
- added the Gradiente CT-80E 80 column card extension, thanks to Maurício Braga
New or improved emulator features:
- added de-flicker video filter via new 'deflicker' setting. Use this to remove
flickering in cases like the dvik demos where 105 colors are simulated on
MSX1 by alternating different native colors. It's disabled by default.

the time stamp of the last input)
Build system, packaging, documentation:
- even more use of C++11 features, when using gcc use 4.7 or higher
- removed build dependency on libxml2
- removed many/all unused features/libs from the build system
- added support to cross compile with MinGW-w64 for (at least) 32 bit Windows
using Linux

---------------------------
This release adds many larger and smaller features, but most outstanding are:
cycle accurate VDP command engine timing, an Android port, subdirectory support
for dir-as-disk and Neos MA-20 support. These features meant a lot of work was
done in practically all parts of the code (of which you can read the results in

--------------------------
This release mostly fixes a bug in dir-as-disk that was introduced in openMSX
0.9.0, when adding support for the DMK format and low level disk emulation. We
not only fixed that bug, we rewrote dir-as-disk almost completely, making it a
lot more robust.
Here's the list with all highlights:

- optimized rendering of superimposed modes (Video9000, laserdisc)
- several other performance improvements
Build system, packaging, documentation:
- Added build support for DragonFly BSD, thanks to John Marino
Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches,
making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes,
and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.

Tiempo, and the rare Pac-Man hack Titan. Other rare bootlegs added
include Come-Cocos (derived from Ms. Pac-Man) and Gran Rally (a
Spanish bootleg of Pole Position II).
There are some pretty big improvements to Tatsumi games (Apache 3,
Cycle Warriors, Round Up 5), some NMK mahjong games work substantially
better (Urashima Mahjong, Mahjong Daireikai, Mahjong Channel Zoom
In), and Big Run looks better than ever. War: The Final Assault no
longer crashes thanks to a fix in Voodoo emulation.
Floppy drive emulation has been further improved, and a fairly
major issue with Apple IIgs and Mac 3.5" drives has been fixed.
Sound Blaster direct DAC mode is now supported. Improved Dreamcast

series can now boot from floppy, and the medium-resolution colour
graphics option is supported. Tiger Electronics fans can enjoy
Battle Arena Toshinden for R-Zone.
Of course we’ve also added more alternate versions of supported
systems, software list updates, bug fixes, and internal improvements.
You can read all the details in the whatsnew.txt file, or get source
and Windows binaries from the download page.
Fuse 1.5.4:
* Miscellaneous improvements:

* Various minor bugfixes.
It’s the day you’ve been eagerly awaiting all month: MAME release
day! MAME 0.198, our May release, is packed full of improvements
in lots of areas. Newly supported arcade games include the rare
video pinball game Tom Tom Magic, Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu EX
’98, and Keirin Ou. Newly supported computers include the TI-99/2,
Dragon MSX-64, and BBC Master 512.
This release brings graphics emulation improvements to a number of
systems, including more fixes for Sega Saturn/ST-V, missing effects
emulated in 1945k III, and improvements to the title screen in Wolf
Fang. The SH-4 recompiler now supports more FPU opcodes directly,
and NAOMI keyboards are supported. Low-level floppy drive emulation
improvements bring improved compatibility for Apple II software.
Newly supported peripherals include a PC ISA LBA BIOS card, the
Beeb Speech Synthesiser, and a number of BBC Micro pointing devices.
Other additions include new Tiger handhelds (Batman: The Animated
Series, Operation: Aliens, Wayne’s World, and X-Men), the Fidelity
Elegance and Prestige chess computers, and alternate versions of
Battle Balls, Centipede, Final Fight, Karate Blazers, Last Mission,
Real Puncher, Sengoku 3, Spy Hunter, and World Heroes 2. There are
lots of additions to the Apple II cassette software list, and
several additions to the Sorcerer cassette software list as well.
MAME now supports Korean user interface thanks to a contribution
from Neius.
For developers, we’ve fixed some issues in the debugger affecting
CPUs that use word addressing, and the source list is sorted more
intuitively in memory windows. We’ve made a number of changes to
how machine configuration works to make driver development more
intuitive and less error-prone.
Version 1.4.1:
* snapdump
* Don't print UTF-8 characters to the terminal
* snap2tzx
* Add 4500 and 5000 bps rates for use with TZXduino
* Various minor bug fixes/improvements:
* Add more examples of fmfconv movie conversion
* Minor code changes in fmfconv
1.5.3:
Disable inactive peripherals after loading a snapshot
Re-enable sound after phantom typist finishes loading TAP, standard ROM TZX or +3 DSK images
Upgrade to libspectrum 1.4.2 to fix writing RZX files containing a snapshot which cannot be compressed
MAME 0.197
25 Apr 2018
For our April release, we’re bringing even more elusive electronic
esoterica to light. MAME 0.197 finally includes support for the
1987 version of the Spanish quiz game Master Boy, believed to be
Gaelco’s first release. There are now drivers for several Neo-Geo
MVS variants, exposing different capabilities. Lamp outputs are
now supported for The Irritating Maze, bringing the game to life
a little more. We’ve added four more Tiger LCD games, all based on
licensed IP: Home Alone, Home Alone 2, Independence Day, and
Transformers – Generation 2.
The Sega Model 2 improvements keep coming, with Rail Chase 2 now
working. With its protection MCU emulated, Capcom’s F-1 Dream is
also working. MAME 0.197 adds support for alternate versions and
bootlegs of a long list of systems, including Crazy Bonus 2002,
Explosive Breaker, Fidelity Excel 68000, Lup Lup Puzzle, Pochi and
Nyaa, Renegade, and Silkworm. In addition, there are graphical
improvements to Sega ST-V/Saturn, and Magical Tetris Challenge.
There are some nice improvements for computer emulation this month,
too. The Acorn Electron has improved video handling and support
for the Mega Games Cartridge. The NEC PC-98 CD-ROM software list
has been updated with the latest dumps and compatibility status –
recent emulation improvements mean more fully supported titles.
You can now boot HP-BASIC cartridges on the HP9000/340 series.
MAME 0.196
28 Mar 2018
MAME 0.196, our March release, is here just in time for Easter,
and it’s packed with all the goodness you’ve come to expect. In a
very exciting development, Team Caps0ff have extracted the C-chip
data for Volfied, Superman, Rainbow Islands, and most importantly,
Bonze Adventure. This cleanly fixes some of the most long-standing
emulation issues in MAME. The improvements to Sega Model 2 have
continued, with Virtua Fighter 2 and Motor Raid now considered
working. Other Model 2 games are greatly improved as well.
For fans of 8-bit home computers, MAME 0.196 has improved ZX Spectrum
family emulation, fixing many graphical glitches. A QuikLoad option
has been added to several CP/M-80 machines, allowing .COM files to
be loaded directly after the operating system has booted. Emulated
IEEE-488 (GPIB) can now be tunnelled over sockets, opening up the
possibility to simulate peripherals outside MAME. Interpro progress
has continued, and is now at the point where you can boot the
rebuild floppy.
Other new working arcade games include Big Buck Hunter, an older
joystick-controlled version of Ghox, and a rare unprotected version
of Opa Opa. With some fixes to our vector maths, War: The Final
Assault is working, and Gunpey has been made playable using
decompressed sprite data extracted from a working board. New LCD
hand-helds include Dennis the Menace, Double Dragon 3, Jurassic
Park, Spider-Man, The Addams Family, The Flash, and X-Men - Project
X.
In an emulation first, MAME 0.196 supports QSound DSP emulation.
For now, it’s only enabled for the vgmplay driver by default, and
it requires a fairly fast computer to emulate at full speed. It
will be enabled by default when system requirements are a bit more
modest. The SH-4 recompiler has been enabled by default for
Dreamcast-derived systems, giving substantial performance improvements.
pkgsrc changes:
* png files for README.html are no longer installed (embedded into the htlm)
Upstream changelog:
2.33.0 2018/04/28
* Support FFMpeg4.0.
* Changed Video Capture bitrate to YouTube recommended value.
(video:4Mbps,audio:128Kbps)
* Embedded images to README.html. So doc folder is no longer distributed
with Windows binary.
2.12.0:
Incompatible changes
The deprecated CLI options "-tdf", "-no-kvm-pit" and "-drive boot=on|off" have been removed (they only emitted a warning since QEMU 1.3.0).
The deprecated CLI option "-net channel" has been removed. You can use "-netdev user,guestfwd=..." instead.
The deprecated CLI option "-hdachs" has been removed. You can specify the disk geometry e.g. via -device ide-hd,cyls=c,heads=h,secs=s instead.
The deprecated way of configuring SCSI devices with "-drive if=scsi" on x86 has been removed. Use an appropriate SCSI controller together "-device scsi-hd" or "-device scsi-cd" and a corresponding "-blockdev" parameter instead.
The deprecated way of configuring a "host", "serial", "disk" or "net" USB device with "-usbdevice" has been removed. Use "-device usb-..." instead.
The deprecated HMP commands "usb_add" and "usb_del" have been removed. Use "device_add" and "device_del" as replacement instead.
The deprecated HMP commands "host_net_add" and "host_net_remove" have been removed. Use "netdev_add" and "netdev_remove" instead.
The deprecated way of dumping network traffic with "-net dump" has been removed. Use "-object filter-dump" instead.
The deprecated "spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge" device has been removed (from qemu-system-ppc64). It is not needed for vfio since QEMU v2.6.0 anymore.
Deprecated options and features
qemu-system-ppcemb is deprecated. Use qemu-system-ppc instead.
The parameters "serial", "trans", "secs", "heads", "cyls" and "addr" of the "-drive" option are now deprecated. Use the corresponding options of "-device" instead.
The "-nodefconfig" option is now deprecated. Use "-no-user-config" instead.
The "-s390-squash-mcss" parameter for the s390-ccw-virtio machine is now deprecated. It has been made obsolete by allowing to put any device into any channel subsystem image (unrestricted cssids).
The parameter "handle" of the "-fsdev" and "-virtfs" options is now depecrated. Use "local" instead.
The qmp command "query-cpus" is now deprecated. Use the new "query-cpus-fast" qmp command instead, which does not interrupt all running vCPUs. (However, there is a known bug that in 2.12, the "query-cpus-fast" command reports bogus architecture information for all architectures except "x86" and "s390".)
While "-net" is not deprecated yet, you are encouraged to use the new option "-nic" instead of "-net", as it provides a simpler and better interface ("-nic user" replaces the old "-net nic -net user").
The "-no-frame" parameter is now deprecated and will be removed together with SDL 1.2 in a future release.
The "-balloon" parameter is deprecated, use "-device virtio-balloon" instead.
The "-rtc-td-hack", "-localtime" and "-startdate" parameters are deprecated. You can use the "-rtc" parameter instead.
The "handle" backend for 9pfs is deprecated.
Consult the "Deprecated Features" appendix for the full list of historically deprecated features/options.
Future incompatible changes
Three options are using different names on the command line and in configuration file. In particular:
The "acpi" configuration file section matches command-line option "acpitable";
The "boot-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "boot";
The "smp-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "smp".
-readconfig will standardize on the name for the command line option.
Behavior of automatic calculation of SMP topology when some SMP topology options for -smp are omitted (sockets, cores, threads) will change in the future. If guest ABI needs to be preserved on upgrades while using the SMP topology options, users should either set set all options explicitly (sockets, cores, threads), or omit all of them.
Devices "allwinner-a10", "pc87312", "ssi-sd" will be configured with explicit properties instead of implicitly. This is unlikely to affect users.
For x86, specifying a CPUID feature with both "+feature/-feature" and "feature=on/off" will cause a warning. The current behavior for this combination ("+feature/-feature" wins over "feature=on/off") will be changed so that "+feature" and "-feature" will be synonyms for "feature=on" and "feature=off" respectively).
The read-only block drivers "bochs", "cloop" and "dmg" as well as "rbd" and "vvfat" in certain read-only configurations will no longer enable read-only mode automatically. It will be necessary to specify "read-only=on" explicitly on the command line and in QMP commands for the setup to keep working; the default "read-only=off" setting will result in an error.
On s390x, using KVM with a Linux host kernel version < 3.15 has been broken since QEMU version 2.10. This will not be fixed unless a need is communicated (otherwise the code will be removed in the near future, so that you need at least Linux kernel version 3.15 on the host to run KVM on System z)
* Tarball does not contain ROM files anymore
* Use pulseaudio for audio output

Changelog:
11-Janunary-2004
================
A source patch so you can build Unix/Linux version.
4th-Jan-2004
============
General:
- new: now using CVS source control system. This is making development much much easier! :)
Core:
- fix: fixed I/O port decoding for RAM configuration PAL inside CPC6128; and for PAL integrated
into CPC+ ASIC. Thankyou to Richard Wilson for his help.
- fix: fixed a bug in the RAM configuration which prevented Overflow's Backtro and C/PM+ from running.
- fix: sample loading: 16-bit samples were treated as unsigned, but they are
actually signed. fixed.
- fix: lots of fdc emulation bugs fixed
- fix: lots of bugs fixed in disc image output code; applies to inserting unformatted discs;
a lot of created images were bad!
strange formats are mostly supported now.
- fix: write deleted data now marks sectors with deleted data control mark now!
- fix: all fdc commands supported including scan commands
- fix: multi-track function of fdc fully implemented
- new: support for DIF disk image (used by CPC++ emulator) [Richard Bannister]
- new: seperated floppy disc controller, floppy disc drive, and floppy disc interface code.
- fix: fixed decoding of disc controller I/O ports
- new: removed as many references to Host_LoadFile and Host_SaveFile from the core code.
(this allows the host to supply binary data which is included in executable, and allows
the host to use it's own load/save functions).
- new: updated the load and save functions to return status code's which indicate an errors
(this allows the host code to return more meaningful error code's and messages;
or to even log them to a file)
- new: removed reference to Host_OpenFile and Host_CloseFile functions from printer code.
The host must now handle the printer output itself.
- new: removed cpcdefs.h file. Defines are build related and should be defined in the project/makefile for each port.
- new: auto-type helper feature; enter the text you want to type in and let the auto-type
feature do all the hard work for you :) Thankyou to Troels K for the first version which
he has in CPC Explorer/CPC Loader.
- new: auto-start helper feature; this feature will attempt to auto-start any image that
has been inserted. But, on the CPC there can be more than one way to run a program,
so this feature may not work with all discs. Try it and see :)
General interface functions:
- merged tape-image and sample handling code
CPC:
- fix: fixed keyboard problems in CPC mode.
CPC+:
- fix: fixed mirror of sprite X,Y coordinates in magnification registers
- fix: fixed sprite coordinates bugs. Simply the Best and Iron demo 3 will display exactly
as on a real CPC+.
Windows version
Lots of user interface stuff to make Arnold easier to use :)
- new: roms moved to source distribution. Rom data is now built into executable.
- new: roms are integrated into executable. [Troels K, Andreas M, Richard B, Kev T]
- new: command-line supported; you can run arnold from the command line with various parameters.
- new: you can double click on a file to automatically launch Arnold (you must register the file
types first)
- new: you can drag and drop a file onto the Arnold window/exe and it will
automatically be inserted
- new: you can double click on a file while Arnold is open, and it will be opened in Arnold.
- new: will detect if another instance of the application is running; you can choose to open
file with existing instance or new instance
- new: now using Zlib libary for decompression of ZIP archives. (some old files compressed with PKZIP may
not open; this is a limitation of the Zlib library) [Troels K, Kev T]
- new: executable compressed using UPX [Troels K]
- new: implemented file selection dialog for ZIP archives.
- new: zip archives now supported by all media (cassette, disc, cartridge, snapshot etc)
- fix: rom versions were not always displayed. Now fixed.
- new: lots of changes for UNICODE version of Arnold. [Troels K]
- new: unicode support for zlib [Troels K]
- new: build instructions for windows version
- new: About dialog box giving some copyright, logo and version information
- new: manifest file used to enable new look under Windows XP.
- new: you can associate the files of your choice with Arnold. Or if you want to keep your
current associations, then you can open the files using "Open with Arnold" from the shell.
- new: merged "Open Sample" and "Open Tape Image" into a single "Open Tape" menu item.
- new: "recent files" menu
- inserting a unformatted disc and selecting a existing file will now ask if you want
to overwrite.
1.5.2:
Emulate ROM bug loading zero length blocks when using tape traps
Fix the format of double-sided +3 disks
Spectrum reset is accelerated when phantom typist is enabled and a file is loaded from the menu
Add options UI for phantom typist
GTK+ 3 UI: Memory browser dialog allows to go to specific offset
1.5.1:
Prevent crash when we try to disassemble an instruction with many DD or FD prefixes
Fix crash when setting debugger variables
Prevent crash when we try to profile an instruction with many DD or FD prefixes
GTK+ UI: Improve behaviour of default button on dialogs
GTK+ and win32 UIs: Support hex numbers in load/save binary and pokefinder dialogs
SDL UI: Allow to select the video mode used in full-screen
Fix C++11 literals, they are now fatal. Reverting to C++98 does not work
as it is, as this code uses C++11 extensions like 'PRIx32' macros.
Extend one int to long in order to handle all values in a switch() case.
No functional change intended.

Improved handling of non-printable characters (by dbjh)
2.1.0
- added (SNES) preliminary support for native Super UFO Pro 8 SD file format.
Use --ufosd to convert a file to Super UFO Pro 8 SD format. More information is

thanks to cage for his help)
- added (SNES) --ufosds convert *.srm (SRAM) file to Super UFO Pro 8 SD (by
dbjh; thanks to cage for the SRAM files)
- updated (SNES) added crack for Diddy's Kong Quest & Dixie Kong's Double
Trouble that makes those games run properly on the Super Flash. It has been
added to snescopy.txt, not to the internal cracks, because it may interfere
with the already present cracks of those games. Apply it with --pattern (by
dbjh, based on post by Tomy of ToToTEK on ToToTEK's Help & Support Forum)
- updated (all) fixed --xreset to really remove power from all programmable
pins (by dbjh)
- added (all) support for EPP when using a PCIe parallel port card that has its
ECP Extended Control register at a non-standard offset, i.e., most PCIe
parallel port cards. Specify the offset in the configuration file by changing
the line that starts with ecr_offset=. See the FAQ (question 53 and 54) for a
more elaborate explanation (by dbjh)
- updated (all) fixed several mistakes in how different pieces of code tried to
enable EPP or simply relied on a BIOS to have configured it right. As a result
the meaning of the switches --xfalm, --xgbxm and --xplm has been reversed (the
associated options use EPP mode by default and use SPP as fallback). Another
consequence is that UserPort can no longer be used as I/O driver (by dbjh)
- updated (SNES) improved --id to the point where its help text can be shown
(by dbjh)
- updated (SNES & Genesis) fixed several edge cases in MGD splitting code (by
dbjh)
- updated (SNES) fixed crash when splitting files in Game Doctor SF3 format >=
100 Mbit (by dbjh)
- updated (all) made --pattern more verbose when -v is specified (by dbjh)
- updated (GBA) made --crp more verbose when -v is specified (by dbjh)
- updated (SNES) made -k, -f & -l more verbose when -v is specified (by dbjh)
- updated (Genesis & PCE) made -f more verbose when -v is specified (by dbjh)
- updated (all) fixed bug in code of --pattern that caused changes to be
omitted in the output file (by dbjh)
- added (SNES & Genesis) --smgh split ROM for MGH. Its main purpose is
splitting SNES HiROM games in MGH format. Splitting is required to make them
run with an MGH (by dbjh, thanks to Mystic_Merlin for information and testing)
- added (SNES & Genesis) --mgh convert to Magic Game Hunter/MGH format. For
SNES this does the same as --gd3, except that the resulting file will have an
MGH name and no header. For Genesis this does something very similar to --mgd,
but the resulting file will have an MGH name. For both consoles an MGH name
file will be produced (by dbjh, thanks to Mystic_Merlin for information and
testing)
- updated (NES, SNES, Genesis & NeoGeo Pocket) fixed --ns (by dbjh)
- updated (SNES) fixed bug in checksum calculation code if the cartridge size
byte of the internal header is 0 (by dbjh, thanks to Mystic_Merlin for
providing the PD ROM that triggered the bug)
- updated (SNES) added support for a few more cartridge configurations to
--ufosd. Still more information is needed, specifically about the header of 8
Mbit HiROMs (by dbjh, thanks to Mystic_Merlin for sending the output of --dbuh
for dumps made with his UFO SD)
- updated (SNES) --ufosd fixes the checksum and pads the output to a valid size
for the UFO SD (by dbjh, thanks to Mystic_Merlin for information and testing)
- added (N64) support for Nintendo 64 DAT files containing CRC32 values of ROMs
in Mr. Backup Z64 format, like what DAT-o-MATIC produces. It can be turned on
by setting the property variable n64_dat_v64 to 0. See the FAQ question 57 (by
dbjh)
- updated (all) fixed double suffix issue when using DAT-o-MATIC DAT files (by
dbjh; thanks to eadmaster for reporting the issue)
- updated (SNES) completed --ufosd by adding support for 8 Mbit HiROM (by dbjh,
thanks to Mystic_Merlin and cage for the information)
