foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
Changes since 0.54.1 include:
- Applied a fix for the Bubble Bobble driver. (Haze)
- Applied a fix for Konami games. (Aaron Giles)
- Using -debug no longer results in a segfault.
- Applied a patch for the ES550x that fixes the runaway voices in Puzzle
Bobble 3 and might fix other games with problems. (Aaron Giles)
- Added -samplepath/-sp and -artworkpath/-ap command line options.
included in the xmame tar ball. xmess doesn't however get updated for
every new mame release, so it makes sense of having a separate package
for it.)
The current xmess version is xmess-0.37b15.2.
Changes since 0.53.1:
- Everything from MAME 0.54.
- Fixed a compile error in the xgl target caused by a change in the
core. (Sven Goethel)
- Applied a patch that fixes CPS2 games. (Aaron Giles)
(this also reuire some kernel support which has not been committed yet.
- Added some comment in the install section to keep it understandable by
human readers
Changes in VICE 1.7
===================
** C64 changes
- REU support has been rewritten to support different types and
images.
- Fixed a processor emulation bug which caused a crash in Summer
Games II.
- Fixed a snapshot bug causing Castles of Dr. Creep to quit after the
snapshot has been restored.
** C128 changes
- REU support has been rewritten to support different types and
images.
- Added support for internal and external function ROM images.
- Tape emulation has been added.
- Added register 26 support to VDC emulation to make LUnix work.
- Support for the CAPS key has been added.
- There is a limited C64 mode now.
** VIC20 changes
- VIC video emulation now almost cycle exact (try vimm or vvv demos)
NTSC video mode is supported.
** CBM-II changes
- Implemented a C510 (aka P128) emulation, using the existing VIC-II
emulation.
- Fix a couple of bugs in the CBM-II emulation (C610-C720).
** Drive changes
- Implemented experimental DOS1 (670 blocks free) support with CBM
2040 emulation.
- The read-only bit of the 1581 disk drive is emulated now.
** Unix changes
- Added preliminary (beta) DGA2 support.
- French translation; Credits to Eric (meepmeep).
- Datasette control UI.
- Zlib is used for reading compressed images.
User-visible changes in 0.8.17:
- AGA should be a bit faster.
- AGA sprites emulation added by Toni Wilen.
- Numerous bug fixes.
- In the Unix version, the gtk UI has a lot more options available.
There's a new option "Enable copper speedup code"; I'd be interested in
hearing whether there's any software out there that does not work (or
runs slower) if this option is enabled.
- Now supports image files of high density floppies (Dr. Adil Temel).
- Support for A1000 Kickstart disks (Gerald Schnabel).
- The option to disable autoconfig devices no longer exists; the emulator
automatically recognizes if the Kickstart version is too old.
- Numerous improvements for the integrated debugger.
- State save/restore implemented by Toni Wilen. At the moment, this is
experimental, "use at your own risk" code. It is not guaranteed that
future versions of the emulator will be able to read snapshots saved by
this version. Test it and report bugs.
Changes since 0.37b15.1 include:
- Everything from MAME 0.37b16 except for steadykey support and the new
RGB blitters. These may be appearing in a later release. :-)
- Added Matt Lowry's latest README, which has been missing from xmame
for several releases.
- Fixed the contrib/porting/prep-new-mame script so it doesn't omit the
README file.
- QNX Photon2 updates: A fix for dirio.c which allows xmess to compile
under the QNX 6.1 internal beta; audio has better verbosity; fixed a
bug which caused games utilizing a mouse to core dump. (Travis Coady)
- Fixed some ANSI/ISO warnings in the GLmame code.
- Changed contrib/porting/prep-new-mame to reflect the new .txt files
bundled with MAME.
- Updated contrib/porting/porting.txt to refer to src/windows rather
than src/msdos for diffing between versions, since the Win32 target
is now the primary one.
- Updated the docs to mention that KDE 2.2b1 has been reported to fix
the xmame.x11 problem whereby the window never displays without using
a workaround.
Major changes since last pkgsrc version:
68k core fixes (still unused); sms/gg sprite renderer draws from tile cache;
completely new c blitters; preliminary MSX and SC3000 drivers.
New in This Version (2.4)
As I now have five (!) different emulators to maintain in addition to my
academic studies, I expect you, people, to look for bugs and fix them if
possible. Please, submit your fixes and bug reports!
* Small fix to the DI instruction.

automatically.
- minor inprovements or modifies.
It is now selectable if use sun-compatible sound or ossaudio by
defining USE_SUN_AUDIO to YES or NO in /etc/mk.conf (default YES)
XXX Though it can be build in both conditions, sound still doesn't
work properly. On my macppc box, if USE_SUN_AUDIO to YES, it
generates continuous hum and nothing changes by play command in BASIC
interpreter within the emulator. if set it to NO, it keeps quiet.
cleanup package Makefile some.
Changes since 0.37b14.2 include:
- Everything from MAME 0.37b15 except for 'steadykey' support.
- Added an aRts sound server driver. (Manuel Teira)
- Added another aRts sound server driver. It needs reasonable aRts
server settings, something like artsd -F 6 -S 4096 should be ok to get
near accurate response time. (Petr Smotek)
- ALSA updates: Added preliminary support for ALSA 0.9 API; split the
0.5 and 0.9 API stuff into separate files. (Shyouzou Sugitani)
- HotRod support is now enabled by either -hotrod or -hotrodse, just
like the DOS/Win32 version.
- Added dummy flicker and vector orientation functions to fxvec.c so
that xmame.xfx can link again.
- updated Elpin VGA BIOS to version 2.40, and changed pointer in .bochsrc
- fixed .conf.x86 script so that it uses c++ instead of egcs for C++ files
- now Makefile targets that recurse into subdirectories use double colons,
so that it will always recurse into subdirectories. Now a single make
command should notice a modified source file in a subdir.
- fixed bug in bx_panic. If BX_PANIC_IS_FATAL==0 and a (non-fatal) panic
occurs, it used to call bx_atexit() and then return. It should never
call bx_atexit, which starts to shut down the simulator, unless it's
really going to quit!
- support 2.88 MB floppy disks
- since dataseghack is checked in as non-executable, invoke it with
"csh dataseghack"
- double fault patch from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@ifrance.com>,
sourceforge patch #423726.
- removed -fno-builtin from fpu makefiles
- redefine u_char, u_short, etc. in order to not conflict with system
definitions of these same types.
- in cdrom.cc, remove the extern "C" { } structure around some of the
header files. This is no longer necessary.
- do not panic on hard disk command 0x1f2 (read sector count)
- in keyboard.cc:
- apply Todd Fries' reset patch
- recognize most of the "Grey" insert/delete/home/end/etc. keys the
same as keypad keys.
- removed panic on "kbd_ctrl_to_kbd(): got value of 0x??"
- implement mouse command 0xf6 (set defaults)
- apply Suboner@aol.com's Xwindows timing patch from
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=418730&group_id=12580
&atid=312580
- remove all patches from patches subdir which have already been applied.
The remaining ones are under consideration but not applied.
This contains everything from MAME 0.37b14 except for 'steadykey' support.
The Unix-specific changes that affect NetBSD are:
- The sound device is now released when the emulation is paused.
(Shyouzou Sugitani)
- Added -hotrod for HotRod and HotRod SE support. Set it to 1 for
HotRod, 2 for HotRod SE.
- Fixed a bug in logerror() that could cause a crash. (Pete French)

Win32 API. It consists of a library set and an emulator program. The
emulator program allows the execution of Windows binary applications
on supported platforms; using the native Intel x86 processors, or
