Emulation:
- IDE improvements:
- Support for second drive (IDE slave)
- WIN_FORMAT command (allows HD Driver to format IDE drives)
- GEMDOS HDD emulation:
- Minor fixes to Fseek(), Fopen(), Fdatime() (e.g. Pure debugger works)
- On TOS v4 Fread() size arg is unsigned, on earlier TOS its signed
(bad code can use -1L to read whole file instead getting fail on TOS4)
- Prevent DTA and read/write functions accessing invalid memory areas
- Programs can now change read-only files to be writable
- Falcon sound emulation:
- Microphone (jack) emulation in Falcon mode (requires portaudio library)
- SSI direct sound entrance ("Audio Fun Machine" and winrec are working)
- DMA sound recording
- Crossbar handshake mode transfers
- Max VDI rez increased to TT-hi size (1280x960)
- 68020+FPU changed to 68EC030+FPU (no MMU 030) for Falcon and TT modes
(Some Falcon programs didn't work with 020)
- Video emulation on STF/STE:
- correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
- add support for STE's 224 bytes overscan line without stabilizer
- when reading $ff8205/07/09 on STE, take into account the value
of horizontal scrolling/prefetch and linewidth
- when writing to $ff8205/07/09 on STE, correctly handle the case
where the write is made while display in ON
- LMC1992 emulation / STE sound filtering
0.8.D.2:
NES: Fixed a crash on certain x86_64 platforms(Mac OS X),
due to the sound filtering code dereferencing 32-bit
registers instead of 64-bit registers as it should have.
0.8.D.1:
Fixed a compilation error on gcc 4.5(thanks to hanno for
pointing it out).
0.8.D:
SMS: Some state that wasn't being saved in save states
now is, which should fix netplay desynch problems with
SMS/GG games.
Fixed a couple of remotely-exploitable(if connected to a
malicious server) stack manipulation bugs in the network
play code.
Fixed an incorrect object creation bug in pce/adpcm.cpp.
NES: Added a missing CPU emulator variable to save states.
PCE: Added a missing CPU emulator variable to save states.
0.8.D-rc1:
Lynx: Fixed a bug in the cart loader code that would cause
a crash if the ROM bank size was larger than the actual
data available in the file(as is the case with some homebrew
programs). Thanks to "Wookie" for the patch.
Build files were regenerated using autoconf 2.64 and aclocal
1.11(previously, they were generated with autoconf 2.61
and aclocal 1.10.1).
Fixed a crashing problem when entering an invalid menu
choice("0") in the cheat interface. Thanks to tsenart for
reporting the bug.
GB: The GameBoy module now respects the "filesys.disablesavegz"
setting in respect to saved battery-backed RAM.
Added support for "lurkers" on the network play server.
Previous versions of Mednafen don't lack support for this
per se, but there would be cosmetic issues with status
messages printed to the internal console.
SexyAL: Fixed a bug affecting the return value from
RawCanWrite() in the ALSA driver. The returned value was
typically too small by a factor of 4. The effects of this
bug included potential long periods of garbled sound during
netplay.
Fixed the return value from RawCanWrite() in the JACK
driver. It was being clamped to a value that was too small
by a factor of 4; however, the clamp value was already
excessively large in a way that this bug would should have
only been triggered if the "soundbufsize" setting was
excessively large. The effects of this bug would be similar
to the ALSA RawCanWrite() bug.
The ALSA and OSS drivers will now try to set audio output
to 2 channels if the source data only has 1 channel, and
16-bit signed if the source data is 8-bit(automatic conversion
is done). This is done to allow for lower period/fragment
sizes, as, in ALSA's internals at least, the minimum period
sizes are expressed in bytes, not sound frames.
The ALSA and OSS drivers will now try to set lower
period/fragment sizes than previous versions of Mednafen
did. With default settings, for ALSA, the new period/fragment
size is 50% of what it was before, and for OSS, 25%. Also,
there's a new setting to override the SexyAL's driver's
preferred period/fragment sizes, named "sound.period_time"(default
value of 0: no override). The period/fragment size is
expressed in microseconds. If the new, lower fragment
sizes cause problems, the setting can be changed to "2666"
to approximate the fragment size selection in previous
versions of Mednafen when using ALSA output, and "5333"
when using OSS output.
Added a workaround to the OSS driver for a bug in ALSA(and
hence, ALSA's in-kernel OSS emulation) that could cause
the emulator to run far too fast for a short period of time
if a buffer underflow occurred.
The ALSA's driver's RawCanWrite() method now(finally) uses
snd_pcm_avail_update() instead of snd_pcm_delay(). This
should improve performance and frameskipping behavior when
the ALSA output is not routed directly to a physical device,
such as the case with PulseAudio(though PulseAudio is still
not recommended :b). CVS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
fixes to get png, jpeg, and ffmpeg support.
* Changes in VICE 2.2
======================
** General
----------
- On autostart, do not change true drive emulation (TDE) anymore by
default. The old behaviour can be switched on again by specifiying
-autostart-handle-tde on the command line.
There is one drawback of this behaviour: If TDE is switched on, an
image attached must fit to the drive type set. For example, when you
attach a .D81, you must have the drive type set to 1581, or the
autostart will fail.
- Added automatic Warp mode during autostart. If this resource is enabled then
VICE automatically enables the warp mode and then loads a file. After
loading the warp mode is disabled again and then the program is started.
- Autostarting a PRG file can now be done in three different ways:
* "Virtual FS": This mode mounts the directory where the file resides as a
virtual filesystem on drive #8 and then loads the PRG via virtual drive
traps. This was the only way of autostarting in previous VICE versions
and is still the default.
* "Inject to RAM": The PRG file is loaded from VICE directly into the RAM of
the emulated machine. Then the memory setup of a Basic LOAD is simulated
and the program is run. This is the fastest mode available but may lack
compatibility as no actual load operation was performed in the emulator.
However, no drive setup is altered during the operation.
* "Diskimage": VICE creates a temporary new disk image and copies the
contents of the PRG file onto it. Then this image is mounted in drive #8
and the program is loaded from there. If TDE is enabled then the load
operation is most compatible. The disk image stays attached until a new
image is mounted.
- Improved PAL emulation is now available for Unix/Xaw XVideo mode, and
AmigaOS. Only the YUV packed modes work, the planar modes still use the
old code paths, though.
- Sound core has been reworked to enable lower latency of operation.
Approximately 50 ms latency values are now routinely reached, and some
people have reported that as low as 30 ms still works for them.
- New SDL port. See ReadmeSDL.txt for details.
- New win64 ports, both amd64/x64 and ia64 are supported (msvc compile only).
- New SDL based armle, mipsle, ppcbe and shle QNX 6.x ports.
- New SDL based M68k and sparc SunOS ports.
- New SDL based Syllable port.
- New SDL based Dingoo port.
- Remote monitor (in other words: TCP/IP interface to VICE monitor) added.
- Fixed non-6502/6510 CPU handling in monitor.
** C64/C128 changes
-------------------
- ReSID's resampler has been optimized with MMX assembly. Some long-standing
bugs in resample-interpolate mode were also fixed.
- ReSID-FP has been optimized, too. It clocks the analog parts at half the
rate now, which saves CPU during filter emulation especially for 6581 modes.
- Added SFX Sound Sampler and SFX Sound Expander emulation.
- Added EasyFlash cartridge emulation.
- Added paddle emulation.
- Added lightpen/lightgun emulation, currently only available for the following
ports: SDL, GTK+, cocoa, win32/win64 and msdos.
- Added support for the following userport joystick adapters: CGA/Protovision,
DXS/HIT, PET (normally only used on the PET/CBM2), Hummer (normally only
used on the C64DTV) and OEM (normally only used on the VIC20).
** C128 changes
---------------
- Added RAM banks 2 and 3 support.
- Improved the VDC emulation.

- Cartridge handling rewritten.
- Added Mega-Cart cartridge emulation.
- Added Final Expansion cartridge emulation.
- Default memory configuration changed from full to unexpanded.
- Added paddle emulation.
- Added lightpen/lightgun emulation, currently only available for the following
ports: SDL, GTK+, cocoa, win32/win64 and msdos.
- Corrected the joystick support, since the VIC20 can only have one joystick
attached on the joystick port.
- Added support for the following userport joystick adapters: CGA/Protovision
(normally only used on the C64/C128), PET (normally only used on the
PET/CBM2), Hummer (normally only used on the C64DTV) and OEM.
** PLUS4 changes
----------------
- Added Digibooster SID Cart add-on emulation.
- Added SID Cart joystick port emulation.
- Fixed bug in tape recording.
- Improved graphics handling.
** C64DTV changes
-----------------
- Replaced old DTVSID emulation with ReSID-DTV.
- Minor bug fixes and emulation improvements.
- Added support for the following userport joystick adapters: CGA/Protovision
(normally only used on the C64/C128), PET (normally only used for the PET),
Hummer and OEM (normally only used on the VIC20).
** PET changes
--------------
- Corrected the joystick support, since the only way a PET can use a joystick
is by a userport joystick adapter, the following userport joystick adapters
are currently supported: CGA/Protovision (normally only used on the
C64/C128), PET, Hummer (normally only used on the C64DTV) and OEM (normally
only used on the VIC20).
** CBM2 changes
---------------
- Corrected the joystick support, since the only way a CBM2 can use a joystick
is by a userport joystick adapter, the following userport joystick adapters
are currently supported: CGA/Protovision (normally only used on the
C64/C128), PET, Hummer (normally only used on the C64DTV) and OEM (normally
only used on the VIC20).
** Unix changes
---------------
- Rudimentary PulseAudio sound driver has been added.
- Added support for dynamic loading of FFMPEG libraries.
- Added support for dynamic loading of OpenCBM and Lame library
* Changes in VICE 2.1
======================
** General
----------
- The VICEplus project has been joined with VICE. Thus, x64dtv is now
part of VICE.
- We can be contacted via IRC: #vice-dev on freenode
- Added a more accurate ReSID engine using floating point math (ReSID-FP).

deprecated. It will be removed in the next release if no-one takes
responsibility to fix the broken code and is willing to maintain the
code.
- PAL Emulation (new implementation, improved speed) should be usable
again (it was broken on certain display depths).
- Log messages are always english.
- Only x11 keymaps will be installed when doing a 'make install'.
- MIDI cartridge emulation for x128, x64 and xvic.
* Changes in VICE 2.0

Based on PR#43567 by Ryo ONODERA.
2010/05/27 - version 0.9.10 released
New feature: GEM clipboard support that allows you to pass data between
GEM clipboard and the host one (MS Windows, Mac OS X and X Window System).
It's currently implemented in FreeMiNT only and uses its aranym.xfs
virtual filesystem (U:\host\clipbrd). Please see setup instructions
in http://wiki.aranym.org/gem_clipbrd
Also couple of important bugfixes:
o fixed two nasty crashes in HostFS (related to recent symlink fixes)
o fixed Xcode building universal binaries on PPC
o VIDEL autozoom feature with correct aspect ratio for non-square pixels
2009/09/05 - version 0.9.9 released
This time mostly bugfixes:
o fixed possible crash in HostFS when quitting ARAnyM (not serious)
o fixed possible crash due to bug in libSDL up to v1.2.13 (very serious)
o fixed some redrawing problems in 8 and 16 color depths with soft NfVDI
o fixed all compile time warnings and Categories entry in aranym.desktop
o fixed weirdness when mouse pointer was leaving the window on Win and OSX
o fixed problem with invalid HostFS symlink breaking directory list
o improvement: HostFS symlinks are now shown as relative if possible
o fixed indirect descriptors handling in MMU
o fixed HostFS symlinks for certain path configurations
o added Mode key in the set of ARAnyM hotkey modifiers
o fixed Alt+mouse click problem on Mac OSX
o fixed Right Shift detection upon startup
If you found ARAnyM crashing previously when moving windows around
or doing any other activity where VDI had to blit screen areas then
please upgrade to this version ASAP. We've added a workaround for
a serious bug in the libSDL that was causing these weird ARAnyM crashes.
2009/04/25 - version 0.9.8beta released
o CPU: fixed TRAPcc and FTRAPcc instructions (for Guillaume's mplayer :-)
o VIDEL: pixel precise horizontal scrolling implemented
o fixed BUSY signal handling on the parallel port
o fixed mouse grab/ungrab/autograb (see below)
o added new ARAnyM mouse cursor (white arrow)
o added middle mouse button handling (in Eiffel mode)
o added suport for reversing mouse Y-axis in IKBD (used in Linux-m68k)
o fixed many DSP56001 instructions
o fixed NFJPEG on 64bit hosts
o fixed several NF drivers to work under FreeMiNT (not rely on __NF cookie)
o buggy JIT-FPU was disabled. Now FPU is precise though slower in JIT mode
Mouse grab/ungrab/autograb has changed: first, ungrabbing when leaving
ARAnyM window was fixed (issue with autograb on the window border).
Then, ARAnyM got a new mouse cursor (white one) so you can recognize
now when the mouse is grabbed (the cursor pointer is black in TOS)
and when it's not (the cursor pointer is white now).
At last, mouse autograb upon entering ARAnyM window was disabled until
we can ensure the Atari mouse cursor is positioned in sync with host
mouse cursor (will require Atari OS support, probably in a form
of aranym.acc and AES implementing appl_tplay).
Also the "AutoGrabMouse" config option has been removed.
2008/11/08 - version 0.9.7beta released
Mostly small fixes at various places plus a lot of work went into
improving the DSP56001 emulation. Also the sound DMA emulation is improved
to a point where GSXB driver should be unnecessary.
o improved automatic network setup on Mac
o reworked audio DMA emulation. Also added configurable host sound frequency
o one MMU bug fixed (regarding TTR)
o special support for halting ARAnyM on linux-m68k reboot (--halt)
o SDL GUI fixed (missing events after alerts)
o EMULOP is now privileged so if some old ARAnyM TSR starts crashing this is why
o joypads are now emulated
o joysticks and joypads can be configured in the config file
o '<>' and 'End' keys' scancodes made Atari compatible
Check the doc/config example file for the new [JOYSTICKS] and [AUDIO] sections.

to run pretty well on the different emulations.
GNS3 is a graphical network simulator that allows you to design complex
network topologies. You may run simulations or configure devices ranging from
simple workstations to powerful Cisco routers. It is based on Dynamips, an IOS
emulator which allows users to run IOS binary images from Cisco Systems and
Pemu, an PIX firewall emulator based on Qemu.

Also add a patch for e1000.c NIC to make wm(4) work on NetBSD guest:
---
* Reset EEPROM internal state on CS rise edge,
not SK rise edge during CS is low, per CS pin description in
the FM93C06 EEPROM manual:
"... a rising edge on this signal is required to reset the
internal state-machine to accept a new cycle ..."
Intel's em driver seems to explicitly raise and lower SK output
after CS is negated in em_standby_eeprom() so many other OSes
that use Intel's driver don't have this problem, but I can't find
articles that say the MICROWIRE or EEPROM spec requires such sequence.
* It isn't a good idea to use memset(,0,) to clear EEPROM state values,
so explicitly clear status members and preserve the previous EECD values
---
This patch is also filed as upstream QEMU bugs #581737.
While here, several tweaks in Makefile to appease pkglint.
---
The main change between release 0.4.7.2 and 0.6.0 is:
* Since late 2007, a complete rewrite of the emulator's base framework
has been going on. GXemul 0.6.0 is a very early release of the new
framework. So far, only the testm88k machine mode has been rewritten
to use the new framework, all other machine modes run in legacy mode
using the old framework (which is still included).
In other words: For most emulation modes, 0.6.0 will be exactly
like 0.4.7.2.
In addition to the new framework, a couple of other changes are
worth mentioning:
* Many unused, rarely used, and bogus emulation modes and features
were removed, to reduce the maintenance burden.
* Some operating systems listed on the guest OS page have had
new releases; the documentation has been updated to reflect this.
* New source code (but not the legacy part) is documented using
Doxygen comments, and there is a unit testing framework in place.
* There is now finally an install Makefile target, and the -j make
option can be used to parallelize builds.
Please read the HISTORY file for more details.

Also update pkgsrc files:
* update COMMENT and DESCR per the latest release note
* remove MAKE_JOBS_SAFE=no as mentioned in the above changes list.
