0.83.4
- Fixed loading saved states in fullscreen mode with
the "aspect=true" setting. (Wengier)
- Added config option "saveslot" to select default
save slot (1-10). The timestamps for the saved
states will also be shown in the menu. (Wengier)
- Added key mapper for sending the Ctrl+Alt+Del key,
with HOST(F11/F12)+Del by default. (Wengier)
- Added dosbox-x.conf setting to ignore the EGA/VGA
"extended memory" bit. It was originally defined
back when stock EGA/VGA cards could ship with 64KB
of memory. The option is needed for DOS games that
accidentally clear the bit when using unchained
256-color modes (Mr. Blobby).
- Added new default value "auto" for the setting
"usescancodesauto" (in [sdl] section of the config
file) to work around issues with non-US keyboard
layouts on SDL1 builds. (Wengier)
- Added code pages 808, 850, 852, 853, 855, 857,
858, 869, 872 for host to guest codepage mapping
on mounted local or overlay drives. (Wengier)
- The mapper options "Increase recording volume" and
"Decrease recording volume" as well as function
"Show sound levels" (from MIXER command) appear
now as menu items (under "Sound") too. (Wengier)
- Fixed inputting of ASCII character 224 and 240
in Windows SDL2 or MinGW builds. (Wengier)
- Fixed possible DPMI error when running Windows
98 installation from the DOSBox-X shell without
using a batch file. (Wengier)
- Fixed a bug in the FAT driver that can cause
a byte to get lost if writing up to the end of
a cluster, which seems to be behind the
corruption with program group files when running
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 from DOSBox-X shell.
[https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/1758#issuecomment-665193066]
- Unknown INT 2Fh calls are now debug output, not
an error.
- Added VESA BIOS mode 68h alias as indicated on
the Vogons forum.
- Fixed handling of config commands with spaces
when the "shell configuration as commands"
setting is enabled (quotes are needed in such
cases). Also added "Config options as commands"
toggle menu (under "DOS") to enable/disable the
feature from menu. It is disabled by default to
avoid name clash with other programs. (Wengier)
- Added "Enable quick reboot" toggle menu (under
"DOS") so that when enabled, DOS restart calls
will reboot the emulated DOS (integrated or
guest DOS) instead of the virtual machine in
DOSBox-X. Also, you could change the default
setting for this by setting the new "quick
reboot" config option in "dos" section (Wengier)
- Added new "Reboot guest system" menu item (under
"Main") to reboot the kernel of the integrated
DOS or the guest DOS directly. The previous menu
item "Reset guest system" has been renamed to
"Reset virtual machine" which will restart the
virtual machine in DOSBox-X instead. (Wengier)
- Added "Reported DOS version" sub-menu (under
"DOS") to dynamically change the reported DOS
version (3.3, 5.0, 6.22, 7.1, or custom). This
may enable/disable long filename (LFN) support
with the default "lfn=auto" setting. (Wengier)
- LS is now an external command appearing on drive
Z: as LS.COM instead of a builtin shell command.
This avoids name clash with game "Links LS 97"
which has the main executable named LS.EXE. Also
fixed minor issues in this command. (Wengier)
- Fixed the game "Disney's Duck Tales: the Quest
for Gold" not able to start. (Wengier)
- Improved Configuration GUI's handling of "4dos"
and "config" sections. Also added the "Save..."
button just before the "Close" button. (Wengier)
- Added "euro" config option (in [render] section)
to display Euro symbol instead of the specified
ASCII character in any code page. (Wengier)
- PC-98 CG MMIO writes fixed to limit writes only
to the user-defined areas, same as the IO writes.
This fixes "Niko Niko" that appears to write a
few too many 0xE1 bytes when filling text
attribute RAM and into the CG MMIO region.
- With -winrun command-line option or the setting
"startcmd=true" (Windows only), you can now
directly launch Windows programs on mounted local
or overlay drives to run on the host. The option
"startwait=false" can be used to disable waiting
for Windows programs after started. This can also
be toggled from the "DOS" menu. (Wengier)
- Added START command to run commands on Windows
host system. The /MAX, /MIN, /HID options can
be used to run the specified program maximized,
minimized, or hidden (they can be shortened to
+, -, _ respectively). This command is disabled
by default, but can be enabled by either the
"startcmd" config option (in [dos] section) or
the -winrun command-line option (which will also
enable the CLIP$ device for Windows clipboard
support). START will run commands listed in the
"startincon" config option (separated by space)
in the Windows Command Prompt and wait for a key
press before exiting. (Wengier)
- Added SHELL= option to the [config] section in
dosbox-x.conf to specify an alternative shell,
e.g. "SHELL=4DOS.COM". (Wengier)
- Added built-in 4DOS 8.00 shell for 4DOS features
and capabilities. There is now a [4dos] section
in the dosbox-x.conf file to act as the 4DOS.INI
config file if you use this shell. (Wengier)
- Added "Mouse wheel movements" menu (under "Main")
to enable or disable the mouse wheel movements
to arrow (up/down etc) feature. (Wengier)
- Added "Quick right mouse button copy/paste" menu
item toggle to allow quick Windows clipboard copy
and paste via the right mouse button without any
key modifier that may have been specified by the
config option "clip_key_modifier". (Wengier)
- Fixed mounting a directory with command-line like
"dosbox-x .", and fixed mounting disk images with
spaces via the "Drive" menu on Windows. (Wengier)
- Added "mountwarning" config setting so you could
optionally disable the warning when attempting to
mount C:\ in Windows or / otherwise. (Wengier)
- IMGMOUNT now assumes "-fs none" automatically if
a drive number is specified instead of a drive
letter. Moreover, it will assume the image file
name "IMGMAKE.IMG" if no filename is specified by
the user. Also improved the command's handling of
El Torito floppy drives, e.g. you can use option
"-bootcd d" instead of "-el-torito d". (Wengier)
- IMGMAKE warning replaced to indicate a general
incompatibility between MS-DOS/SCANDISK and
cluster sizes 64KB or larger.
- IMGMAKE command will now use the image file name
"IMGMAKE.IMG" if no file name is specified (either
in the mounted local directory or in the DOSBox-X
program directory if the current directory is not
a local directory). The command now also supports
a -force option to force overwrite the image file
if it already exists. Furthermore, IMGMAKE will
delete the generated image file if an error occurs
during the image file creation. (Wengier)

MAME 0.222
26 Jun 2020
MAME 0.222, the product of our May/June development cycle, is ready
today, and it’s a very exciting release. There are lots of bug
fixes, including some long-standing issues with classics like
Bosconian and Gaplus, and missing pan/zoom effects in games on Seta
hardware. Two more Nintendo LCD games are supported: the Panorama
Screen version of Popeye, and the two-player Donkey Kong 3 Micro
Vs. System. New versions of supported games include a review copy
of DonPachi that allows the game to be paused for photography, and
a version of the adult Qix game Gals Panic for the Taiwanese market.
Other advancements on the arcade side include audio circuitry
emulation for 280-ZZZAP, and protection microcontroller emulation
for Kick and Run and Captain Silver.
The GRiD Compass series were possibly the first rugged computers
in the clamshell form factor, possibly best known for their use on
NASA space shuttle missions in the 1980s. The initial model, the
Compass 1101, is now usable in MAME. There are lots of improvements
to the Tandy Color Computer drivers in this release, with better
cartridge support being a theme. Acorn BBC series drivers now
support Solidisk file system ROMs. Writing to IMD floppy images
(popular for CP/M computers) is now supported, and a critical bug
affecting writes to HFE disk images has been fixed. Software list
additions include a collection of CDs for the SGI MIPS workstations.
There are several updates to Apple II emulation this month, including
support for several accelerators, a new IWM floppy controller core,
and support for using two memory cards simultaneously on the CFFA2.
As usual, we’ve added the latest original software dumps and clean
cracks to the software lists, including lots of educational titles.
Finally, the memory system has been optimised, yielding performance
improvements in all emulated systems, you no longer need to avoid
non-ASCII characters in paths when using the chdman tool, and
jedutil supports more devices.
MAME 0.221
19 May 2020
Our fourth release of the year, MAME 0.221, is now ready. There
are lots of interesting changes this time. We’ll start with some
of the additions. There’s another load of TV games from JAKKS
Pacific, Senario, Tech2Go and others. We’ve added another Panorama
Screen Game & Watch title: this one features the lovable comic
strip canine Snoopy. On the arcade side, we’ve got Great Bishi
Bashi Champ and Anime Champ (both from Konami), Goori Goori (Unico),
the prototype Galun.Pa! (Capcom CPS), a censored German version of
Gun.Smoke, a Japanese location test version of DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou,
and more bootlegs of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Final Fight, Galaxian,
Pang! 3 and Warriors of Fate.
In computer emulation, we’re proud to present another working UNIX
workstation: the MIPS R3000 version of Sony’s NEWS family. NEWS
was never widespread outside Japan, so it’s very exciting to see
this running. F.Ulivi has added support for the Swedish/Finnish
and German versions of the HP 86B, and added two service ROMs to
the software list. ICEknight contributed a cassette software list
for the Timex NTSC variants of the Sinclair home computers. There
are some nice emulation improvements for the Luxor ABC family of
computers, with the ABC 802 now considered working.
Other additions include discrete audio emulation for Midway’s Gun
Fight, voice output for Filetto, support for configurable Toshiba
Pasopia PAC2 slot devices, more vgmplay features, and lots more
Capcom CPS mappers implemented according to equations from dumped
PALs. This release also cleans up and simplifies ROM loading. For
the most part things should work as well as or better than they
did before, but MAME will no longer find loose CHD files in top-level
media directories. This is intentional – it’s unwieldy with the
number of supported systems.

0.83.3
- IMGMAKE can now generate FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32
filesystems. New option "-fat" is added to select
the filesystem for the disk image.
- Fixed command-line like "./dosbox-x /dir/app.bat"
not able to launch the specified program (Wengier)
- Fixed bug in DIR command's /P option which might
cause it to not work properly. (Wengier)
- The default key modifier for the Windows clipboard
copy & paste via the right mouse button feature is
now "shift" instead of "disabled". (Wengier)
- Single-stepping in the debugger with the 286 and
8086 normal cores now works correctly when stepping
over instructions with a segment prefix.
- Pentium MMX instructions now only available for
Pentium MMX or higher. Fixed the bug that allowed
MMX instructions for Pentium and lower if programs
ignored the CPUID feature bits. Also fixed Pentium
MMX instructions so that they work in both 16-bit
real mode and 32-bit protected mode to match how
they work in real hardware (joncampbell123)
- Updated DOSBox-X's implementation for Pentium MMX
instructions to latest version by kekko (Wengier)
- DOSBox-X will try to automatically run the program
with LOADFIX if the error message "Packed file is
corrupt" is detected. (Wengier)
- MOUNT command can now mount a drive to the UNC
root path in the form \\ComputerName\SharedFolder
on Windows systems. (Wengier)
- Improved the HX-DOS build package to make it fully
automated: all required HX DOS Extender files will
be included in the package, and dosbox-x.exe can
now be run directly in a real DOS system without
external requirements. (Wengier)
- Fixed incorrect frame rate reported by 3Dfx Voodoo
emulation (rderooy, backported from DOSBox SVN).
- Added the "Boot from disk image" menu item (A:, C:,
and D: drives only) in the "Drive" menu to boot the
specified disk image directly in Windows. (Wengier)
- Support for converting mouse wheel movements into
keyboard presses like arrow keys, configurable by
the option "mouse_wheel_key" (default is 0 which
disables this feature). When set to 1, mouse wheel
movements are converted to up/down arrows. Setting
it to 2 or 3 converts such movements to left/right
arrows or PageUp/PageDn keys respectively. (Wengier)
- Support for reloading the keyboard mapper file with
the config -set command. (Wengier)
- IMGMOUNT command without parameters will show disk
names for drive-number only mounts. (Wengier)
- IMGMOUNT can now autodetect DOS <= 3.21 harddisk
geometry with MFM sector images (rderooy & Wengier)
- IMGMOUNT -fs none fixed to use same geometry detect
function that FAT filesystem mounting uses.
- Added suppprt for mounting overlay drives using MOUNT
command with "-t overlay" option. Backported from
DOSBox SVN and adopted for DOSBox-X with additional
features such as long filename and PC-98 support, it
allows the users to redirect new and changed file(s)
to a different location transparently. (Wengier)
- Cleaned up the DPI awareness auto-detection code to
allow Visual Studio builds to again run on Windows 7.
Meanwhile, MinGW builds (either SDL1 or SDL2 version)
are still required for Windows XP systems. (Wengier)
- Updated Nuked OPL3 to latest version 1.8 for accurate
OPL3 emulation (Wengier)
- Added AUTOTYPE command to perform scripted keyboard
entry into a running DOS program or game. Ported from
DOSBox-staging, it can be used to reliably skip intro,
provide input to answer initial startup or config
questions, or conduct a simple demo. (Wengier)
- Added code page 866 (Cyrillic Russian) to support
host to guest code page mapping (tuffnatty)
- Mouse buttons (left, middle, right) can now be mapped
to keys in the keyboard mapper. (Wengier)
- Support for mounting .cue files with MP3/OGG/WAV/FLAC
compressed audio tracks. (Wengier)
- Rewrote the Windows installer for DOSBox-X, as well as
the building script for the installer. All required
build tools including the Inno Setup Compiler are now
provided in the repository and will be automatically
called by the building script. (Wengier)
- Added config option "mapperfile_sdl2" for SDL2 builds.
SDL1 and SDL2 builds of DOSBox-X can not use the same
mapper file, or they will likely malfunction. Adding
this option allows SDL1 and SDL2 builds of DOSBox-X
to work with the same dosbox-x.conf file. (Wengier)
- Added GUI menu option under "DOS" to change the long
filename setting (enable, disable, or auto). (Wengier)
- Improvements and fixes to the save/load state feature:
It now supports Sound Blaster Goldplay mode;
It now saves PC-98 FM interrupt state so that reloading
state does not cause hung music;
It is also fixed not to crash when used within a guest
operting system (when the DOS kernel has been shut down
using the BOOT command);
It now supports memory size up to 1000MB;
It will save and verify the DOSBox-X version and build.
States saved by DOSBox-X in one platform (e.g. 64-bit
Windows) may not work in another (e.g. 32-bit Linux).
The GUI menu will show if the save slot is empty, and if
not the program name of save state will be displayed.
- Re-ported and improved the save state feature for saving
and loading states with support for up to 10 save slots.
They can be selected from the "Capture" menu. (Wengier)
- Added COUNTRY command to set country code for country-
specific date and time formats. For example, the command
"COUNTRY 61" sets the country code to 61 (International
English) which uses the DD-MM-YYYY date format instead
of the default (U.S.) MM-DD-YYYY date format. (Wengier)
- DOS 440Dh IOCTL function 67h (get access flag) added to
allow FDISK.EXE to determine FAT filesystem type. Also
implemented function 40h (set device parameters) and
function 46h (set volume serial number). (Wengier)
- Unknown DOS 440Dh IOCTLs warnings now indicate whether
triggered by call or query.
- S3 VESA BIOS mode number for 1024x768 32bpp changed to
avoid conflict with Windows 95 S3 driver and 800x600
16bpp mode.
- FAT driver no longer mounts FAT32 volumes unless the
DOS version is 7.1 or higher, and it no longer mounts
FAT16B LBA volumes unless the DOS version is 7.0 or
higher. These are to mimic the MS-DOS behavior.
- Fixed FAT driver not to attempt to mount partitions that
have nothing to do with the FAT filesystem (such as
type 0Dh and extended LBA partition tables). Also fixed
the FAT driver to not assume partition start sector 63
if it cannot identify a partition to use.
- Added code to FAT driver to identify telltale pattern
left by Microsoft FDISK when a partition is created (but
not yet formatted) and reject.
6.2 to 6.2.1: (June 20, 2020)

now generates a clean, pixel-exact image.
* Fixed mappings sometimes not being saved in the Retron77 port.
* A ROM properties file may now be placed next to the ROM (with the same
name as the ROM, except ending in .pro), and Stella will automatically
apply the properties to the ROM. [NOTE: this was present in 6.2, but
was mistakenly left out of the changelog]
* Added button to Game Info dialog to save properties of the currently
loaded ROM to a separate properties file (in the default save directory).
This is useful in conjunction with the previous item.
* Allow changing custom palette and TV effects adjustables in 1% steps
again.
* Updated documentation for changes in ROM properties key names.
* The codebase now compiles under gcc6 again. Future versions will
require gcc7, though.

0.83.2
- Added help messages for some supported commands. (Wengier)
- Added phone book support for the emulated modem. There is
a new phonebookfile= option in the [serial] section. The
phone book file entries need to be in the format of:
"<dummy number> <hostname/ip:port>" e.g.
5551234 cavebbs.homeip.net:23
- Implemented the missing EMS subfunctions 52h and 59h by
porting the patch that adds them (Wengier)
- Fixed issues with the "config -wcd -all" command and other
updates to the CONFIG command (Wengier)
- Added [config] section in dosbox-x.conf to resemble DOS's
CONFIG.SYS file. It currently supports REM, BREAK, NUMLOCK,
FCBS, FILES, DOS, DEVICE/DEVICEHIGH, INSTALL/INSTALLHIGH,
SET and LASTDRIVE commands. The file CONFIG.SYS will appear
on the Z: drive, similar to AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The [config]
section can be bypassed with the -noconfig command-line
option or with the secure mode enabled (Wengier)
- Moved PC-98 related config options (starting with "pc-98 ")
from [dosbox] and [dos] sections to its own [pc98] section.
These options in existing dosbox-x.conf/dosbox.conf files
will be automatically redirected to the [pc98] section from
the other sections when DOSBox-X starts (Wengier)
- The user directory DOSBox-X uses has been changed to use the
DOSBox-X directory (e.g. from ~/.dosbox to ~/.config/dosbox-x
on Linux platform). It will be read *after* the dosbox-x.conf
file in the current directory (Wengier)
- Config option "dpi aware" now supports the "auto" setting
to auto-decide on the best setting for the platform. This
fixes very small window issue on high DPI devices such as
Microsoft Surface tablets. (Wengier)
- Added DTASEG, DTAOFF, and PSPSEG as hex value constants to
the debugger interface to aid in debugging DOS programs.
- New command-line option -helpdebug added to list debug-
related command-line options. The standard -? / -h / -help
command-line option will no longer list them (Wengier)
- Implemented LFN support for FAT driver, so that it is now
possible to view directory list, create or open files and
directories etc with long filenames on FAT12/16/32 drives
just like on mounted local drives.
- FAT driver cleaned up and fixed to avoid edge cases that
can corrupt directory entries and leave lost clusters
on the disk, also fixed to always report root directory
as a directory through the GetFileAttribute INT 21h call,
needed by MOVE.EXE and XCOPY.EXE to work properly.
- IMGMOUNT auto geometry detection will assume LBA disk
and fake C/H/S geometry if the disk is 4GB or larger,
the MBR lacks executable code, or the first partition
is Windows 98-style LBA FAT16 or FAT32.
- IMGMOUNT now assumes ISO type by default if the image file
extension is .iso/.cue/.bin/.mdf. No need for "-t iso" in
this case; but (if appliable) it can be overridden by for
example "-t hdd". (Wengier)
- IMGMOUNT command (no parameters) now lists mounted FAT/ISO
drives and mounted drive numbers, also SUBST command (no
parameters) now lists mounted local drives (Wengier)
- INT AH=36h fixed to convert free space but maintain a
cluster size (bytes/sector * sectors/cluster) that is less
than 64KB to avoid divide by 0 crashes with FORMAT.COM /S
- Added FAT32 free/total disk space API for FAT driver, and
updated INT 21h AX=7303h to call it. FAT driver now provides
FAT32 extended disk free/total through FAT32 API and 2GB
limited free/total through INT 21h AH=36h for older DOS
programs. Shell DIR command updated to use FAT32 free space
API to show free space even on FAT32 partitions larger than
2GB, but only if the DOS version is set to 7.1 or higher.
- Added FAT32 INT21h and IOCTLs needed by MS-DOS 7.1/Windows 98
versions of SCANDISK.EXE and FORMAT.COM, such as DOS functions
for "FAT32 extended" absolute disk read and write.
- Improved FAT32 support to the FAT driver, including direct
support for FAT32 drives in the DOSBox-X command shell. Files,
directories and volume labels on FAT32 drives can be listed,
read from or written to just like on FAT12/16 drives.
- Added DOS IOCTL read/write logical device track functions so
that FORMAT.COM is able to verify and modify the partition table
to successfully format a hard drive image. Also added stub to
DOS IOCTL "format device track" for FORMAT.COM.
- You can now force unmount a drive and then mount it to a new
directory in one command, e.g. "MOUNT C C:\DOS -U" (Wengier)
- REN command can now rename directories (in addition to files) on
FAT drives just like on local drives (Wengier)
- Several improvements to DEL command, such as a new /F option to
force delete of read-only files, and improved handling when the
argument is a directory (Wengier)
- LS command added to list directory contents. It does not support
all options as in Unix/Linux platform (Wengier)
- DIR /O & /OG supported in addition to /ON|/OE|/OS|/OD options.
Options such as /-O & /-A can be used to override /O, /A etc if
they are specified in the DIRCMD environment varaible (Wengier)
- DIR and VOL commands now display real serial numbers for mounted
local drives (Windows only) and FAT drives (Wengier)
- Fixed SYS command not working properly (Wengier)
- DOS kernel INT 21h function Set File Attribute no longer
allows changing volume label attributes and fixes directory
attributes in order to prevent filesystem corruption.
This prevents Windows 95 Setup from creating WINBOOT.INI
and then changing it into a directory with the call.
- FAT driver bugs fixed where a newly created zero length file
combined with a lseek() can corrupt filesytem structures
(root directory and/or the second FAT table). This fixes
filesystem corruption when running Windows 95 install.
- Enabled printer emulation for non-Windows OSes (Linux,
Mac OS X, etc.). FreeType2 is required to enable
printer emulation at compile time.
- Added command-line option "-o" for MOUNT command so that
it can be specified whether to report mounted local drives
as remote (network) drives. It is "auto" by default just
like the virtual drive Z:.
- Added config option "drive z is remote" in dosbox-x.conf
to report drive Z: as a remote (network) drive. It is
"auto" by default, which will try to prevent SCANDISK.EXE
from Windows 9x installs to scan and "repair" drive Z:
which is not backed by a disk filesystem.
- Fixed clip_key_modifier setting not working when it is
set to alt, ctrl or shift in the SDL2 build. (Wengier)
- Sending "Ctrl+Alt+Del" key from the menu will now reset
the system within DOSBox-X when the intergrated DOS or a
real DOS booted from a disk image is active. (Wengier)
- PC speaker output fixed not to timeout and stop rendering
unless the PC speaker output is not emitting anything
audible anyway (Fix for Sopwith 1 and 2).
- Added ALIAS command to define or display aliases.
- "HELP command" now works the same as "command /?" for
supported internal commands. (Wengier)
- Improved handling of quotes in some commands. (Wengier)
- Added -set command-line option to change config options.
It can be specified multiple times for multiple options,
overriding any options in the config file. For example,
the command "dosbox-x.exe -set machine=pc98" will force
DOSBox-X to start in PC-98 mode. (Wengier)
- Re-added full drive menu items for the Windows platform.
The "Boot from drive" item (A:, C: and D: drives only)
should work in other platforms too. The BOOT command is
also improved to allow e.g. "BOOT A:" to work. (Wengier)
- INT 10h vector now points into VGA BIOS as a workaround
for DOS programs that use vector location as part of
their EGA/VGA detection. This fixes blink attribute
and EGA/VGA detection failure with SuperCalc 3 and
SuperCalc 4. This option, enabled by default, can be
disabled or enabled from dosbox-x.conf.
- Improved long filename (LFN) and SetFileAttr/GetFileAttr
support for PC-98 mode. (Wengier)
- Added config option "lfn" to enable/disable long filename
(LFN) support. With default setting of "auto", LFN support
is enabled if the reported DOS version is at least 7.0.
- Added config option "automountall" (default: false) to
automatically mount all available Windows drives (Wengier)
- The copy & paste Windows clipboard text via the right
mouse button feature now has support for PC-98 mode too
in addition to other modes. (Wengier)
- MPU401 IRQ fixed to properly default to 2 or 9 in IBM
PC/XT/AT mode depending on the "enable slave pic" config
option (rderooy)
- Fluidsynth defaults fixed for better more reliable audio
streaming on Linux and Mac OS X (Wengier and rderooy)
- Improved support for FluidSynth MIDI device by porting
code from DOSBox ECE. Set "mididevice=fluidsynth" along
with other required options such as "fluid.soundfont"
in dosbox-x.conf to use it. The previous config setting
"mididevice=synth" is still supported for alternative
implementation of FluidSynth. (Wengier)

Changes:
* Load bios from path that was checked
* sanitize gl context requests
* Add more detailed error messages for mmap, unlink sooner
* Allow Solaris 11 build
* Cleanup warnings: snprintf truncation, strncpy->memcpy, memset
* Lightrec: Cleanup/deduplicate mmap code
* Lightrec: Improve homebrew support
* Fix inverted check for dma-only invalidation
* Fix OS X compile
* Lightrec: fix more games –
These games now work:
– Need For Speed: V-Rally
– Alone In The Dark – One-Eyed Jack’s Revenge
* Lightrec: Fix SWL/LWL using wrong mask
* When HAVE_SHM always use global memfd so it can be closed properly on
exit –
LGTM found this once the default was to compile in lightrec
* Keep track of mmap failing –
If mmap failed it should prevent crashing when closing and disables
lightrec memory mirrors so as to not use an incorrect code path
* Update to latest lightrec and extract PGXP from lightrec –
PGXP functions are now called from within beetle
* Compile in Lightrec support by default –
Specify HAVE_LIGHTREC=0 if you don’t want it compiled
* Improve DualShock calibration reference
* Fix disk control interface when running single-disk PBP content
Changes:
* Update lightrec to latest upstream
* Minimize logs when loading a cheevos-compatible content
* Cleanup retro_run() -
- move input query into separate functions
- move internal fps display to separate function
* Hide other inputs from core options -
- This adds a core option to hide some input options like
multitaps, player ports 3-8 and analog-related fine-tuning options.
- also combine dynarec-only options in one #define directive
* More core option fixes -
- This PR fixes core options and moves them to the related dynarec
modes where they are implemented.
LIGHTREC = relates to platforms that supports the new Lightrec mode
NEW_DYNAREC = relates to previous dynarec implementation that is
still used for some 32bit devices
- Dynarec Recompiler core option, both dynarec implementation can
be enabled or disabled
* Move guncon options to update_variables -
- This should stop unnecessary RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_GET_VARIABLE
callback and log spamming
* Fix some edge case where core can freeze upon loading content
* Automatically disable Lightrec when no BIOS is present, take 2
* cdriso: fix a disk switching deadlock when closing a CD image
* ARM NEON: Fixed bug where MSB of a 15-bit BGR color could corrupt
green value.
* cdriso: fix a disk switching deadlock
* unai: Add ARM-optimized lighting / blending functions
Addendum on UNAI ARM-optimized lighting/blending improvements -
"Looking at the generated ASM on 3DS, I thought I could squeeze out
some extra performance by moving the inner lighting and blending
functions to handwritten A32 assembly. This gives a medium improvement
generally (3-5fps faster on the beach in Crash 1) and a large
improvement when doing lots of blending (46-48fps before, 57-60fps
after, behind the waterfall in Water Dragon Isle in Chrono Cross).
Some other notes:
* I used the ARM11 MPCore (3DS CPU) timings for pipelining.
* I had a few stall cycles during lighting, so I used them to
preserve the MSB for lighting and blending, which saved a store,
load, and orr later on. ~3-6 cycles saved overall by doing that.
* I switched from u16 to uint_fast16_t, which is 32-bit on this
platform. This saved a few useless uxth instructions for another
few cycles. This shouldn't affect other platforms, but I don't know
for sure. Could typedef if necessary.
* A lot of the speed improvement in blending comes from not using two
instructions per and. For example, & 0x8000 -- the compiler
preferred to mask out bytes using bic 0x7F00 and bic 0x00FF. Both
slower and seemed less correct for what we're trying to do."
Changes:
* Fix YES/NO keys and set 0 as default key
* Change Action button to B to be more consistent with other cores, and
remove the shortcuts to 1/2/3/4 keys (useless with the new virtual
keyboard)
* Add option for virtual keyboard transparency
* Add graphical virtual keyboard
Changes:
* libretro: added granularity in SuperFX overclock -
There doesn't seem to be any benefit of overclocking above 15 MHz
(150%). The user should be allowed to be more precise with their
overclock setting now.
* Fix MMC reg for 64bit builds -
Fixes a segmentation fault when playing large ROM games.
* Fix MMC bank register bit 7 (FuSoYa) -
Fixes the 64Mbit ExLoRom map.
* ROM: fail if ROM is invalid -
Fixes an issue whereby a non-SNES file would cause a segmentation
fault.
This may occur if the selected ROM is corrupt, or a file has an
incorrect extension.
* APU: remove unused SoundSync -
Additionally modified the resampler to use buffer size as a
parameter
instead of the number of samples within the buffer. Previously, the
buffer size was being changed to the number of samples, and then
changed
back within the resampler.
* snes9x: add defines for unused multi-cart support -
The compiler was already optimising these unused functions out. The
libretro core can define SNES_SUPPORT_MULTI_CART 1 to re-enable
support
for multi-cart in the future.
* snes9x: refactor defines and remove overscan -
Out of bounds memory fix from
* snes9x: APU: Fix buffer overrun -
Additionally:
This fixes linking with LTO.
Disable audio if an error occurs in init instead of continuing and
segfaulting.
* snes9x: reduce APU buffer to 64ms -
I believe this to be a more sane setting than a 1000ms buffer.
* snes9x: backport config from upstream -
Most options were not available in English, despite it being the
default
language. All the options that were available in Turkish are now
available in English.
* snes9x: fix headercount increment
* libretro: fix pitch measurement
Changes:
* Fixes graphics issues – Intellivania not working on emulator
* Correctly detect MTE Test Cart
* Fixes#40 – Intellicart roms w/o A8 –
Detects Intellicart roms using a different method for files that don’t
begin with 0xA8
* Expose RAM for Retroachievements
* OSD, Keyboard keypad controls –
keys 0-9 as expected. [ and ] replace C and E
OSD updated, real messages replace cryptic “colored pixel” loading
error feedback
Changes:
* Add optional LCD ghosting effect –
This backports the LCD ghosting effects that were recently added
to mGBA
It replaces the existing Mix Frames core option with Interframe
Blending. The old Accurate and Fast frame mixing settings have
been renamed to Simple (Accurate) and Simple (Fast) – these
perform the same 50:50 mix of the current and previous frames as
before, required to achieve correct rendering of games that rely
on LCD ghosting for transparency effects.
In addition to these settings, there are now LCD Ghosting
(Accurate) and LCD Ghosting (Fast) options. The former recreates
the LCD response effect of RetroArch’s Gameboy Shader. The latter
is similar, but uses a single accumulation buffer – which is more
efficient, but lacks the subtlety of the shader implementation.
Here are some stats showing the typical increase in performance
overheads when using the various methods:
Simple (Accurate): 30%
Simple (Fast): 13%
LCD Ghosting (Accurate): 48%
LCD Ghosting (Fast): 28%
* Do not add pointers to memory map if they are not available –
skips sram when no sram is available
skips extra RAM banks if not running in GBC mode
* tvOS support
* user-adjustable Zapper tolerance
* reduce max Zapper tolerance to 20
* MMC1 overrides are treated as ines 2.0, so its needs at least default
values for prgRam and chrRam columns.
Fixes FF1 pink screen due to unmapped CHRRAM.
* Use proper geometry when switching NTSC filter on or off –
– Width changes previously was not respected when using NTSC filter.
With full use of overscan, NES width
is 602 px when NTSC filter is used and 256 px on normal
* Fix build when compiling without NTSC filter support
* Adjust Zapper tolerance; make Zapper input tolerance circular rather
than rectangular by default
* Fix timing when changing from PAL/Dendy to NTSC –
– Happens when starting with PAL/Dendy region and changing to NTSC can
cause frame to get stuck in 50 Hz
– using RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_SET_SYSTEM_AV_INFO should remedy this.
* NTSC: Remove height doubling/scanline effect –
– We just use shaders for scanline if needed. NTSC + height doubling
causes performance hit
for some slow devices. Any decent platform should be able to handle
scanline effect shaders at least.
* ines.c: Simplify rom info logs and cleanup
* Fk23c: Fix chr issues for some games –
– Affects mostly waixing using mixed chr rom/ram modes (bit 2 of ram
config register $A001)
* Update ines-correct.h –
– Add overrides for FK23C
– Move MMC1 overrides
– Move MMC5 overrides
* Move overrides out of some mappers –
Move mapper-based overrides out and use ines-correct.h if possible.
Affects the following mappers below:
– Move Cnrom database to ines-correct.h
– Mapper 201 update
– Mapper 91: Add Street Fighter III (Submapper 1) to ines-correct.h
– Add dipswitch notes to m237
– Update mapper9 (PC10 version of Mike Tyson’s Punch-out)
* Move battery-backed prg ram override to ines-correct.h
* Start expanding internal override database (ines-correct.h)

- MENU/OZONE/INPUT/BUGFIX: Fix undefined behaviour when using touch screen to change input remaps
- MENU/OZONE/INPUT/BUGFIX: It turns out that Windows reports negative pointer coordinates when the mouse cursor goes beyond the left hand edge of the RetroArch window (this doesn't happen on Linux, so I never encountered this issue before!). As a result, if Ozone is currently not showing the sidebar (menu depth > 1), moving the cursor off the left edge of the window generates a false positive 'cursor in sidebar' event - which breaks menu navigation, as described in #10419. With this PR, we now handle 'cursor in sidebar' status correctly in all cases

- PLAYLIST/BUGFIX: Improve handling of 'broken' playlists - RetroArch will no longer segfault when attempting to run content via a playlist entry with missing path or core path fields.
- PLAYLIST/BUGFIX: Improve handling of 'broken' playlists - when a playlist entry has either core path and/or core name set to NULL, DETECT or an empty string, attempting to load content will fallback to the normal 'core selection' code (currently this happens only if both core path and core name are DETECT - this is wholly inadequate!)
- PLAYLIST/BUGFIX: RetroArch will no longer segfault when attempting to fetch content runtime information when core path is NULL
- PLAYLIST/BUGFIX: Core name + runtime info will only be displayed on playlists and in the Information submenu if both the core path and core name fields are 'valid' (i.e. not NULL or DETECT)
- PLAYLIST/BUGFIX: When handling entries with missing path fields, the menu sorting order now matches that of the playlist sorting order (at present, everything goes out of sync when paths are empty). Moreover, entries with missing path fields can now be 'selected', so users can remove them (currently, hitting A on such an entry immediately tries - and fails - to load the content, so the only way to remove the broken entry is via the Playlist Management > Clean Playlist feature)
- PLAYLIST: Add optional per-playlist alphabetical sorting
- PLAYLIST: Omit whitespace when writing compressed JSON format playlists
- PLAYLIST: Add optional playlist compression

- TVOS: Disable overlays for tvOS, fix app icon
- VIDEO/WIDGETS/BUGFIX: The font ascender/descender metrics added in #10375 are now used to achieve 'pixel perfect' vertical text alignment
- VIDEO/WIDGETS/BUGFIX: Message queue text now uses its own dedicated font. Previously, a single (larger) font was used for all active widgets, and this was scaled down for message queue items. This 'squished' the text a little; more importantly, when using the stb font renderers (on Android. etc.) it caused ugly artefacts around the edges of glyphs due to pixel interpolation errors. Now that a correctly sized font is used, the message queue is always rendered cleanly.
- VIDEO/WIDGETS/BUGFIX: Previously, each widget font was 'flushed' (font_driver_flush()) at least once a frame. This is quite a slow operation. Now we only flush fonts if they have actually been used.
- VULKAN/BUGFIX: Fix display of statistics text

- MENU/OZONE/POINTER: Cursor focus follows mouse pointer from sidebar to entries list (and vice versa)
- MENU/OZONE/POINTER: In entries list, item under cursor is automatically selected (with some fudging to ensure this doesn't break mouse wheel scrolling)
- MENU/OZONE/POINTER: In sidebar, item under cursor is not automatically selected (this is too jarring)
- MENU/RGUI: Add 'Flux' theme
- MENU/XMB: New color themes 'Cube Purple', 'Family Red', etc

# 1.8.4
- ANDROID/BUGFIX: Prevent crash when Android device is minimized and you go back to the app
- CAMERA/BUGFIX: Fix crash when a core requires the camera driver and the platform only has a null driver. This would crash mgba on Wii for example
- DISK CONTROL: Cycle Disk Tray now becomes Eject Disk or Insert Disk depending upon current drive state
- DISK CONTROL: Current Disk Index is only shown when the current disk has been ejected
- DISK CONTROL: The old Insert Disk entry has been changed to Load New Disk, and is only shown when a disk is currently inserted (this is because loading a new disk from the filesystem - i.e. bypassing the m3u playlist disk index interface - automatically ejects and inserts disks, and so cannot be done while the virtual drive is empty)
- DISK CONTROL: The Current Disk Index may now be set more easily via a drop-down list.
- DISK CONTROL: Selecting Eject Disk automatically moves the menu selection to the Current Disk Index entry
- DISK CONTROL: Selecting an index via the Current Disk Index drop-down list automatically moves the menu selection back to Insert Disk
- DISK CONTROL: The Disk Control entry sublabels have been changed for greater clarity
- DISK CONTROL: All of the horrendous notification spam has been removed. Notifications are now only shown in the event of an error, or when the menu itself does not provide sufficient visual feedback (note that using hotkeys to swap disks still produces the old style notifications, since this is typically only done while content is running - i.e. no menu). The duration of disk-related info notifications has also been reduced to a more sane level.
- DISK CONTROL: A new Resume content after changing disks option has been added under Settings > User Interface. When enabled (default setting), content is resumed automatically after selecting either Insert Disk or Load New Disk (when disabled, the menu remains open, obviously...)
- DISK CONTROL/BUGFIX: The Disk Control menu now has the correct title
- DISK CONTROL/BUGFIX: Selecting a disk via the Load New Disk file browser no longer flushes the user back to the top level menu (it now correctly returns to the Disk Control menu)
- PLAYLISTS: Add 'Clean Playlist' option
# 1.8.3
- ANDROID/BUGFIX: Fix 'Install or Restore Core' regression

- BUGFIX/CRASH/CORE UPDATER: Fix potential double free error
- BUGFIX/CRASH/OPENGL/WINDOWS: Fix regression in 1.8.2 that would cause GL-based cores to fail because it would try to erroneously load libGLESv2.dll instead of OpenGL32.dll (cores affected: VitaQuake 2/3/Dhewm3, possibly more)
- BUGFIX/MENU/DESKTOP UI: Show desktop menu on startup does not launch Qt UI on Linux
- BUGFIX: Entries in the Playlist Thumbnails Updater list were displaying improper sublabels. I have no idea when this broke... The issue is now fixed

- NETPLAY/RELAY: Fix the “spectator” bug when using the relay server – When a player switches into the spectator mode (pressing “i”) while using the relay server, all players will disconnect.
- NETPLAY/RELAY: Overall stability has improved. Fixed a memory leak that would cause the relay server to become unresponsive after some time.
- NETPLAY/RELAY: Fixed critical bug that would cause all players to be disconnected from the relay server if one player was leaving the game. That bug had been open for one year and we were finally able to fix it.
- THUMBNAIL UPDATER: When waiting for individual thumbnail file http transfers to complete, the task status checking is more accurate. This uses the same method as the new core updater - we now wait until the task is 'really' complete, instead of relying on the (slightly nebulous) 'task finished' state
- VULKAN: Fix font driver 'vulkan_get_message_width()' function
- VIDEO FILTERS: Only use threads when the number exceeds 1. Fixes race conditions with some CPU filters on Vita
# 1.8.2
- BUG/CRASH/GLSLANG: Fix glslang crashing error - managed to reproduce an issue which has been plaguing
users for a while, where glslang throws an assert after closing a game (and starting a new one). This would affect all video drivers that use Slang for shaders, such as D3D10/11/12/Vulkan/Metal

- FFMPEG CORE: Hardware accelerated video decoding
- FFMPEG CORE: Implement send/receive encoding API, will allow for hardware accelerated AMD video encoding
- FFMPEG CORE: The video FIFO can be removed, since we have a ring buffer in its place. This removes unneeded copy operations and as a positive side improves overall decoding speed. Makes 8k60p SW and 4k60p HW decoding feasible on many systems. For now the ring buffer is 32 images deep. This limitation will be removed, once audio and video decoder have their own packet handling.
- INPUT: Fix 'Analog stick controls menu even if autoconfig disabled'
- INPUT/TURBO: Added alternate Turbo-Mode 'Single Button' - For systems supporting only a single button, the turbo-button will toggle firing that button without the need to hold it.

- MENU/USABILITY: Add Audio -> Resampler settings
- MENU/USABILITY: Add Audio -> Output and Audio -> Synchronization
- OPENGL: Shaders are now working properly (only in OpenGL) when rotating both from Core API rotation and from menu video rotation. The fix is clearly visible with crt-royale for example
- OPENGL: 1:1 PAR is now correct when rotating (both from Core API rotation and from menu video rotation, as you said, in the latter case you currently have to change Aspect Ratio after menu video rotation for it to work)
- OPENGL: When using Custom Aspect Ratio and rotation (both from Core API rotation and from menu video rotation), Integer Scaling is now working properly (correct multiples of internal resolution). Even when Integer Scaling is not activated, the Custom AR width / height are now correctly labeled using (1x), (2x), ... suffixes. You also have to activate Integer Scaling after menu video rotation for it to work
- OPENGL: For all other Aspect Ratio options, Integer Scaling and rotation (both from Core API rotation and from menu video rotation) are now working properly together (correct multiples of internal resolution). You also have to activate Integer Scaling after menu video rotation for it to work
- OPENBSD/POWERPC: Should build now on OpenBSD PowerPC
- PLAYLISTS: Pressing 'Start' or long touching a playlist will bring you to a Playlist submenu where you can set a default core, setup thumbnail view, delete the playlist, etc

- VIDEO: Support DRC even when using a vsync swap interval higher than 1
- VIDEO LAYOUT: Fixed XML parsing of attributes with spaces, should fix issues with several video layouts
- VULKAN/ANDROID: Workaround weird WSI return codes in landscape mode - Android WSI wants you to use preTransform, and if it is not used correctly, Android 10 will return VK_SUBOPTIMAL_KHR, and we would create a new swapchain every frame. This workaround just ignores this error, since it's not really an error. A more "proper" fix is to use prerotate and modify the MVP matrices,
which might help certain devices with crummy display processors
- VULKAN/ANDROID: Recreate swapchain on orientation change. ANativeWindow getWidth/Height does not detect any changes when using
Vulkan, so use the old onContentRectChanged callback to get notified when size changed. Use those values instead when figuring out how large swapchain to create

- MENU/MATERIALUI: Material UI no longer leaks memory on 'context reset' (fonts were previously never free()'d)
- MENU/MATERIALUI: A new Android-style 'system bar' has been added. This shows current core name, clock and battery level
- MENU/MATERIALUI: A new search icon is shown on the title bar when viewing playlists and file browser lists. Pressing this launches the search interface
- MENU/MATERIALUI: The title bar now uses a larger font, and the sublabel font has also been enlarged a little, to more closely align with Material UI standards
- MENU/MATERIALUI: A number (quite a large number) of layout/spacing issues have been fixed
- MENU/MATERIALUI: The existing colour theme handling code is not fit for purpose, so the whole lot got ripped out and reimplemented. In doing so, also adjusted all the theme colours to better match Material UI standards - with a few liberties taken for aesthetic purposes.
- OSD: Fix fast forward indicator when not using menu widgets
- PSP1: Remove duplicated FPS indicator on the screen
- VIDEO LAYOUT: Add video layout mame overlay compatibility. Enabled for Windows/Linux/OSX/iOS/Android/libnx. Only works with GL driver for now, no glcore yet
# (1.7.9) (v2)

configure already had the logic to gracefully test for nvmm and if the
corresponding nvmm variable is set to an empty string do that.
No functional nor binary change intended except a CONFIGURE_ARGS difference.
Fixes PR pkg/55049.
Thanks Yasushi Oshima for reporting this problem, sharing an initial
patch and further testing the version committed now!
There's not much point to this package right now since emulators/wine
is newer and we can't newer than that without breakage happening. This
package can be brought back when someone feels like fixing and packaging
newer wine devel branches.
The most recent stable version (5.0) is known to be problematic due to
the need for individual programs to link against msvcrt.
Based partially on zerous's "wine32" package in pkgsrc-wip.
Includes several years of changes.
This package does not include WoW64 support, so you can't run 32-bit
binaries on a 64-bit system. That's for later...
