MESS is a source-available project which documents the hardware
for a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game
consoles, and calculators through software emulation, as MAME does
for arcade games. As a nice side effect to this documentation, MESS
allows software and games for these hardware platforms to be run
on modern PCs.
MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in
conjunction with images of the original arcade game's ROM and disk
data, MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible
on a more modern general-purpose computer. MAME can currently
emulate several thousand different classic arcade video games from
the late 1970s through the modern era.
ROMs are needed to play the games. Some are freely available on the
MAME homepage.
alternative from mk/jpeg.buildlink3.mk
This allows selection of an alternative jpeg library (namely the x86 MMX,
SSE, SSE2 accelerated libjpeg-turbo) via JPEG_DEFAULT=libjpeg-turbo, and
follows the current standard model for alternatives (fam, motif, fuse etc).

upstream changelog:
3.2.1 to 3.2.2: (September 17, 2010)
* Fixed bug with window centering; if enabled and the the window was
larger than the desktop, the window would be moved offscreen.
-Have fun!
3.2 to 3.2.1: (August 25, 2010)
* Improved behaviour of joystick 'hat' movement. This should fix bugs
most visible in Yars' Revenge.
* Fixed bug in debugger rewind states; bankswitching wasn't being
performed during the rewind. Related to this, fixed a similar issue
with the debugger 'loadstate' and 'savestate' commands.
* Added game properties info and snapshot for the newly released
'Halo 2600' ROM.
3.1.2 to 3.2: (August 20, 2010)
* NOTE: because of the many event-related changes in this release, all
event mapping should be reset to defaults after starting Stella for
the first time. As well, because of other internal changes, older
save-state files are no longer valid.
* Many improvements to joystick handling code, particularly for analog
axes. Navigating the UI should be much smoother now, and remapping
events to analog axes should be less 'twitchy'.
* Added ability to assign and remap 'combo' events in emulation mode.
Combo events are basically a sequence of normal events (up to 8)
that are generated from a single event (ie, one button on a joystick
could generate up to 8 events). Updated Input Settings UI to
access and modify these events.
* Default mappings are now available in UI and emulation mode for the
first 'hat' detected on a joystick/gamepad. Related to this, a hat
now works exactly like an axis in UI mode (holding down a direction
continues that direction until the hat is released/centered).
* Several major improvements to the debugger:
- the disassembler can now process multiple entry points, and
caches entry points as they're encountered (ie, the disassembly
isn't 'reset' each time a bank change occurs or you exit and
re-enter the debugger)
- preliminary support for disassembling from zero-page RAM
- re-added ability to change banks with the 'bank' debugger
prompt command and within the ROM disassembly UI
- user labels in disassembly are now supported again
- 'runto' command is now case-insensitive, and shows a progressbar
while searching through the disassembly
- the debugger window can be resized between ROM loads (previously,
the app had to be restarted)
- fixed bug in Distella disassembler output, where it sometimes
generated addresses above $FFFF
- a vertical line separates the disassembly from the raw bytes
* Fixed behaviour of SWCHB and SWBCNT; pins set to output now remember
the values previously written. Some ROMs use this functionality for
extra storage. Special thanks to Omegamatrix of AtariAge for advice
and test ROMs in this area.
* Fixed bug when reading from illegal TIA addresses; a Space Invaders
hack was showing pink enemies instead of white ones. Again, special
thanks to to Omegamatrix of AtariAge for advice and test ROMs in this
area.
* Fixed bug in handling INPT4/INPT5 latches from VBLANK; a least one
ROM was working in Stella when it didn't on real hardware.
* Added 'ramrandom' commandline argument, which is used to randomize
all RAM in the system; otherwise, the RAM is zeroed.
* Added 'finishing touches' to some of the UI descriptions, giving a
better explanation of the functions. Related to this, certain
options now show a message box explaining the option in further
detail (particularly the ROM Audit mode). As well, when starting
Stella for the first time, a prompt appears to select a ROM
directory.
* Fixed bugs in the ROM launcher when viewing certain PNG images not
created by Stella. Related to this, the official PNG library is now
included in the Stella codebase (version 1.4.3). Also added composite
snapshots for those ROMs which consist of several games. Thanks go
to Buzbard of AtariAge for these images.
* Added several fixes for crashes on 'small' systems (those systems
where the maximum resolution is less than 640x480).
* Tweaked bankswitch autodetection for 0840, DPC+, E7 and UA schemes.
* Improved F8 bankswitch autodetection for Yars Revenge in 8in1 ROM.
* Updated DPC+ bankswitch scheme to latest specifications.
* Snapshots taken in continuous snapshot mode are now timestamped, so
older files are never overwritten.
* Fixed a TIA segfault that could occur with certain ROMs.
* The 'center' application window functionality can now be changed
without having to restart the application. Related to this, mouse
positioning bugs when using the Linux version in OpenGL mode with
SDL 1.2.14 have been fixed.
* Reworked the manual, dividing it into 'Getting Started' and
'Advanced Configuration' sections. It still contains the same info
as before, but hopefully in a better organized way.
* Updated Help dialog; it was showing incorrect info for some OSX
shortcuts.
* Updated OSX build script to not crash when a previous build is
detected, and to properly handle filenames with spaces.
* Updated included ZLib to latest release version (1.2.5).
3.1.1 to 3.1.2: (May 3, 2010)
* Modified 'showinfo' command to accept levels of output, where
increasingly larger numbers provide more debug output. Related to
this, added UI item to modify 'showinfo'.
* Updated DPC+ bankswitch scheme to latest specifications, including
support for 32K ROMs with ARM code (the ARM code is ignored for now).
* Fixed bug in saving patched ROMs using DPC and DPC+ bankswitch
schemes; the saved image didn't actually include any changes made by
the user.
* Removed 'uselauncher' from the UI, since disabling it will remove
the ROM launcher on all future runs, and not allow one to enable it
again. It's still available from the commandline, for those that
have a need for it.
3.1 to 3.1.1: (April 26, 2010)
* Fixed program crash when using RIOT addresses and labels in the
debugger console prompt.
* Updated DPC+ bankswitch scheme to latest specifications.
3.0 to 3.1: (April 22, 2010)
* Fixed a major bug with text drawing in software rendering mode.
Switching between windowed and fullscreen mode while text was being
shown could result in garbled text or even a program crash.
* Fixed issues when using 'sleep' timing, whereby a lockup could occur
when changing video modes, and/or Stella would consume more CPU time
than was necessary.
* Integrated Distella disassembler, completely replacing the previous
disassembler. The entire infrastructure has not been completely
ported yet. As a result, labels defined by the user or from a
DASM symbol file aren't actually used in the disassembly, and almost
all distella config options are disabled. These will be addressed in
a future release.
* Completely reworked the debugger cartridge interface, so that
the disassembly is dynamic (ie, the debugger tracks when cart address
space has changed, and automatically performs a re-disassembly).
* All carts with extended RAM that differentiate between read and write
ports now behave correctly when a read from the write port occurs.
* Added more complete support for the more esoteric bankswitch
schemes in the debugger. These schemes now support accurate
disassembly and ROM patch functionality. Related to this, fixed a
bug in disassembler view when a failure to patch a ROM still showed
the (incorrect) patched results.
* Added ability to disable TIA object collisions, independent of
enabling/disabling the objects. Previously, one had to completely
disable an object to avoid collisions, but now an object can be
enabled (and seen) but still have its collisions disabled. These
actions are tied to the same keys as the enable ones, except the
'Shift' key is also used.
* Added preliminary support for 'DPC+' bankswitching scheme, thanks to
Darrell Spice Jr and Fred Quimby.
* Added '16in1' bankswitching scheme, which works with various
ROMs labeled '128-in-1 ...' (the database has been updated for
these). Related to this, switching between multicart ROMs for 2in1,
4in1, 8in1, 16in1 and 32in1 now shows a UI message indicating which
ROM is active.
* Reverted some of the TIA improvements with respect to 'starfield
effect' as seen in "Cosmic Ark" and "Stay Frosty". The emulation is
now more accurate as compared to the majority of consoles in use.
* Added debugger pseudo-register '_rwport', which traps on a read from
the write port. This differentiates from reads that are normally
part of a write cycle (ie, it traps only on inadvertent reads).
* Added 'resolvedata' commandline argument and associated UI item, used
to set the "resolve data sections" config option in Distella
(vs. treating all address space as code).
* Added 'runtopc' debugger command, used to step until encountering the
given program counter. This is also available in the ROM disassembly
UI from the right-click context menu.
* Added 'listfunctions' and 'delfunction' debugger commands to
access/remove user-defined functions. Related to this, fixed a bug
in 'function' command that could cause a program crash.
* Added 'cls' debugger command, used to erase the text and history
from the debugger prompt.
* Removed the 'listwatches' and 'poke' debugger commands, as they
were redundant.
* Removed the 'loadlst' debugger command and the ability to use a
DASM .lst file. This code was incomplete, and no longer fits with
the recent disassembler improvements. Support for this may return
in a future release.
* Modified 'disasm' debugger command to accept a second argument
indicating the number of lines to disassemble.
* Improved tab-completion in the debugger prompt; it now completes
on functions and pseudo-registers.
* Added emulation of the "Sega Genesis" controller, with two buttons
that are directly supported on a real system.
* The ZLib library is now included in the core code, so Windows
developers no longer have to track down the ZLIBWAPI archive.
* Many changes to the MacOS X port, bringing it more in line with
other systems:
The application is now known as 'Stella' (instead of StellaOSX).
Two versions are available: the first is a 32-bit Universal Binary
for OSX 10.4 - 10.6, and the second is 32/64-bit Intel-only for
OSX 10.6 (aka Snow Leopard). The Intel version is compiled with the
very latest compiler (LLVM/Clang), resulting in better performance.
The keyboard handling is changed to match other systems in terms of
where the keys actually are on the keyboard (ie, the OSX Command key
corresponds to Alt, and the OSX Control key corresponds to Control).
The application menu has been cleaned up and simplified, and it
now shows the correct shortcuts for menu items.
The settings file is now (according to Apple standards)
'~/Library/Preferences/net.sourceforge.Stella.plist'.
The base directory (where all other Stella stuff is located) is now
'~/Library/Application Support/Stella'.
Because of these changes, all your settings will have to be entered
again.
* Added 'ctrlcombo' commandline argument, which toggles the use of the
control key as a modifier key. This is useful if you want to press
'Control' and 'R' in a two player game, and not have the combination
treated as 'Control-R' (which will issue a ROM reload).
* Added 'usemouse' commandline argument and associated UI item. This
toggles the use of the mouse as a controller of any type.
* Added 'uimessages' commandline argument and associated UI item.
This toggles showing of UI messages overlaid on the screen.
Critical messages are still shown, though.
* Added ability to take multiple snapshots in a given interval every
x seconds. This is currently tied to the 'Alt-s' key and is not
remappable (for now). The interval can be set with the 'ssinterval'
commandline argument and within the UI, and defaults to 2.
* Many changes to the FrameBuffer and UI code for 'smaller' systems.
Stella will now scale correctly to small screens, down to 320x240
(which is the absolute lower limit supported). Related to this,
added 'maxres' commandline argument, which is useful for developers
testing on such systems.
* The About dialog now shows the version of SDL in use, and the type
of CPU the application is running on (i386, x86_64, etc).
* Improved 'listrominfo' commandline argument to list all information
from Stella's internal ROM database, including a heading. This
output can be imported into a spreadsheet or database program.
* Renamed 'tiafloat' commandline argument to 'tiadriven'. The
emulation of the behaviour of floating TIA pins is also much more
accurate.
* Reworked state files so that they're associated with the cartridge
type used, not the MD5sum of the ROM. This is useful for developers,
since the same state file can now be loaded from different ROMs,
as long as the cart type stays the same. This also fixes a bug
where loading from a non-existent state file could cause Stella
to crash. Because of these changes, old state files will no longer
work.
* Fixed bug in certain editable text fields, where pressing Return/Enter
would disable any further input.
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.

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).

---------------
- 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.

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.
intended, the format string parser that generates the va_list does not support
all formatting characters.
Make this code portable by failing to parse any format string at all, not just
the ones that aren't fully supported.
Bump PKGREVISION for the functional change, though this code is probably
generally unused anyway. Unmark as BROKEN and NOT_FOR_PLATFORM - I think all
uses of va_list casts are inhibited.
Dynagen is a front-end for use with the Dynamips Cisco router emulator.
It uses an INI-like configuration file to provision Dynamips emulator
networks. It takes care of specifying the right port adapters, generating
and matching up those pesky NIO descriptors, specifying bridges,
frame-relay, ATM switches, etc. It also provides a management CLI for
listing devices, suspending and reloading instances, determining and
managing idle-pc values, performing packet captures, etc.
0.2.8-RC2
* mainly a bug fix release
0.2.8-RC1
* hypervisor control protocol has been modified
* Support of the Cisco 1700 platforms, with WIC-1T, WIC-2T and
WIC-1ENET cards
* Support of WIC-1T and WIC-2T for the 2600, 2691, 3725 and 3745.
* Support of NM-NAM and NM-CIDS interfaces.
* Plugin system
* Bug fixes.
snes9x version.
Snes9x 1.52
- IMPORTANT NOTICE: The structure of savestates (also known
as snapshots / freeze files) is incompatible with older
versions! Snes9x 1.52 cannot read the savestates created
by 1.51 or older. (zones)
- Highly acculate SPC700 and S-DSP emulation. (Blargg)
- Replaced APU emulation cores (SPC700 and S-DSP) with
ones provided by Blargg's SNES_SPC library. This renders
savestates incompatible with older versions. (BearOso, zones)
- SPC7110 emulation. (byuu, neviksti)
- Merged bsnes' SPC7110 emulation code. Note that the .rtc
file of Far East of Eden Zero is incompatible with older
versions. (zones)
- Removed graphics pack support. It's no more necessary. (zones)
- Replaced S-RTC emulation code with bsnes' one to keep the
good compatibility of .rtc files between the two
emulators. As a result, Daikaijuu Monogatari 2 now
outputs the .rtc file, and its .srm file is incompatible
with older versions. (zones)
- Added savestate supports for DSP-2, DSP-4, ST-010 and
OBC1. (zones)
- Added UPS support. (byuu)
- Fixed DSP-4 AI problem. (Jonas Quinn)
- Fixed invalid memory accesses in C4 and OBC1 codes. (zones)
- Fixed invalid memory accesses in BSX codes. My mistake. (zones)
- Fixed the read value of $213e, $4210 and $4211. (zones)
- Fixed the writing of word values at the memory boundary. (zones)
- Fixed the bug that the unnecessary SA-1 emulation
continues once any SA-1 games are launched. (zones)
- Removed old color blending codes. (zones)
- Removed too-old Snes96 and ZSNES snapshot support. (zones)
- Updated command-line options. (zones)
- Code cleaning. (zones)
- GTK+ : Added a port of Snes9x to the GTK+ toolkit. (BearOso)
- Unix : Reconstructed and simplified all the contents.
Some features have been removed to be simple, and many
options have changed. GTK+ port is recommended for most
of Linux users. (zones)

New in This Version
* After a long pause, finally updated fMSX-Unix port. fMSX-Unix source code
is once again available as part of the core source code distribution. It
has been debugged on the Ubuntu Linux. Let me know of any incompatibilities
with other Unix flavors.
* Extended fMSX-Symbian port to support UIQ3 phones from Sony Ericsson and
Motorola. As I only have key-operated Motorola Z8, testers with pen-based
SE phones are badly needed.
* Added run-time compatibility with 8bpp, 16bpp, 24bpp (32bit pixels) and
32bpp screen depths to fMSX-Unix. IMPORTANT: At this moment, built-in
config menu, debugger, and NetPlay dialog will only work at X11 screen
depth that matches your compile-time setting (i.e. -DBPPxx) in Makefile.
Make sure you always compile fMSX-Unix for your default screen depth.
* Disabled secondary slots for primary slot #0 in MSX1 mode. DiskROM boots in
MSX1 mode again.
* Now syncing all sound channels after loading state, sound does not get
"stuck" any more.
* Renamed command line option -zoom/-nozoom into -soft/-nosoft.
* Moved a few key definitions, so that "!@#$%^..." characters can now be used
as indices into Keys[]. This is done for compatibility with GDK key events.
* Renamed KeyMap[] to KeyState[] to avoid name clash with MacOSX system API.
* ALT swaps joysticks 1/2 on all platforms where applicable.
* CONTROL/SHIFT keys now act as FIRE-A/FIRE-B joystick buttons on all
platforms.
* Improved fMSX-Symbian sound code, although sound problems still persist on
some UIQ3 phones.
* Split fMSX-Symbian/S60 configuration menu into four tabs, making "Video"
and "Audio" settings separate.
* Added "Audio Latency", "Skip Frames", and "Sync Updates" settings to
fMSX-Symbian.
* Added to fMSX-Symbian ability to use Nokia E61/E62 [FUNC] key in the
built-in menu.

* Added network play option to fMSX-Windows and fMSX-Symbian!
* Now not opening printer file until the first character is printed.
* Fixed OUTD/OUTDR opcodes to modify B register before the OUT operation.
* No longer trying to load state files from LoadFile().
* Defined "INLINE" properly, depending on the C standard supported by the
compiler.
* Finally retired #ifdef SOUND as sound is always compiled in anyway.
* Added new, much better, scanline simulation and video softening effects to
fMSX-Windows.
* fMSX-Windows full-screen mode now runs in 640x480 resolution.
* Fixed problem with full-screen SCREEN 6/7 in fMSX-Windows.
* fMSX-MSDOS has got complete (non-truncated) emulation for SCREEN 6/7 and
TEXT80 screen modes.
* fMSX-MSDOS now always runs in 640x480x15bpp VESA screen mode.
* Added options to simulate TV scanlines (-tv/-notv) and zoom display (-zoom/
-nozoom) to fMSX-MSDOS.
* Options -sync/-nosync/-vsync work properly again in fMSX-MSDOS.
* Added new "Fill & Soften" zoom mode to fMSX-Symbian. It is rather slow
though.
* Added ability to use virtual keyboard in fMSX-Symbian to enter filename
when saving files from the built-in menu.
* Fixed problem with gameplay being too fast in fMSX-Symbian.
* Fixed possible source of instabilities in the S60 open file dialog in
fMSX-Symbian.
* Fixed exit via Symbian-specific menu.
* Fixed premature termination of the emulation thread when exiting
fMSX-Symbian, soundtrack recording and config saving work again.
* The [C] ("Clear") key is no longer used to toggle sound in fMSX-Symbian. It
acts as [BACKSPACE] instead.
New in fMSX 3.3
* Save state format has changed due to serious changes to the emulator
architecture!
* Added OpZ80() function and the FAST_RDOP macro to the Z80 emulation to
optimize code access in architectures with memory-mapped I/O.
* Added subslot support to all slots.
* Moved PAINTER.ROM to slot 0:1, FMPAC to slot 0:2, MSXDOS2.ROM to slot 3:0.
* Reduced the number of user cartridges back to two (A/B). All the other
slots are taken by system cartridges (MSXDOS2, FMPAC, etc.).
* Locked user cartridges in slots 1/2 to subslot 0, as external cartridges
often do not use subslots.
* If Konami's GMASTER2.ROM or GMASTER.ROM is present in the program
directory, fMSX will now load it as a system cartridge.

* Added unified .FDI disk image support (FDIDisk.c).
* Added support for standard, SV738, Arabic, and Brazilian WD1793-based disk
interfaces.
* Added support for GZIPped disk images.
* Made disk geometry discovery smarter (CP/M-80 v2.2 now boots).
* Moved 720kB floppy utilities (Floppy.c) and SCC sound chip emulation
(SCC.c) into EMULib.
* Added command line option to patch DiskROM calls (-simbdos). With this
option on, fMSX takes over DiskROM disk access routines. When -wd1793 is
used, fMSX will simulate real WD1793 FDC instead.
* Rehashed built-in menu to make screen space for more options.
* Added menu options to select RAM and VRAM sizes, create new disk images,
save disk images, patch DiskROM calls, load and use fixed text mode fonts.
* Added virtual keyboard to fMSX-Symbian, invoked by pressing [EDIT] or left
[SHIFT] key. The keyboard can work in three modes: "Off", "Single Key
Entry", and "Multiple Keys Entry".
* Added display orientation settings to fMSX-Symbian ("Landscape",
"Portrait", and "Auto").
* Finally fixed opendir() problem in EMULib-Symbian. All built-in menu file

plain BASIC (i.e. no cartridges and no disks).
* Renamed fMSX-Symbian binary and resource files to avoid name clash with
fMSX/S60 port by Juha Riihimaki.
* Fixed mouse support in fMSX-MSDOS.
New in fMSX 3.2

* Updated the documentation.
New in fMSX 3.0
* Added transparent support for GZIPped disk images as disks. You can now
pass .GZ file names in -diska/-diskb command line options.
* Added transparent support for directories as disks (thanks to Miguel
Colom). You can now pass directory names in -diska/-diskb command line
options. Changes to such disks will not be saved for safety reasons.
* Added DirectDraw-based full screen mode to fMSX-Windows. Press [ALT]+
[ENTER] to switch in and out of the full screen mode. Use it with caution,
as DirectDraw is notoriously unstable.

New in fMSX 2.8
* Fixed initial envelope volume in AY8910.c, thanks to Koichi Nishida.
* Fixed a problem with 8kB/16kB cartridges failing to execute in the MSX1
mode.
* When guessing a MegaROM mapper type, fMSX now tries to look at a data file
CARTS.CRC containing pairs of cartridge CRCs and mapper types.
* Added support for the third cartridge slot. You can now give up to three
cartridge names on the command line and three -rom options.
* Cartridges are now inserted into slots 1:X (A), 2:X (B), and 3:0 (C). The
RS232.ROM has been moved to slot 3:3.
* Added support for the 64kB Panasonic FM-PAC cartridge with 8kB SRAM (-rom
7).
* fMSX loads files FMPAC.ROM, MSXDOS2.ROM, and PAINTER.ROM automatically, as
long as they are in the program directory and there is an empty cartridge
slot available.
* Added support for ASCII/8kB cartridges with 8kB SRAM (Xanadu, Royal Blood).
Please, inform me if this has broken support for any "normal" ASCII/8kB
cartridges.
* Added support for ASCII/16kB cartridges with 2kB SRAM (Hydlide 2). Please,
inform me if this has broken support for any "normal" ASCII/16kB

from 8 to 64. If any of FreeBSD developers are reading this, could you
explain why this is needed?
New in fMSX 2.7
* Switched to the latest version of the OpenWatcom C/C++ compiler.
* The infamous Windows problem with spaces in directory names seems to be
fixed by using a newer compiler.

should now be more natural.
* Added sound on/off switch to fMSX-Unix and fMSX-MSDOS.
* Keyboard assignments changed everywhere.
* added Axlon and Mosaic RAM expansions for Atari 400/800

* Falcon/TT: removed Devpac dependency in asm files (now gcc friendly)
0.8.C:
SMS: Fixed the input and reset emulation when the territory was
set to "domestic"(Japan) and FM emulation was enabled; the emulated system was erroneously
being treated as a Game Gear in a few places when those conditions were met.
GB: Fixed initialization of "HRAM" on virtual power toggle/reset.
GB: Fixed a bug(still many left) in the external RAM handling code, fixing an
emulator crash with "Wizards & Warriors - Chapter X".
0.8.C-rc1:
NGP: Fixed an unaligned memory access bug in the memory r/w handlers, causing crashes on platforms
that do not support unaligned memory accesses.
NES: Fixed an intialization bug in mapper 193.
Added define "ALWAYS_INLINE" to force the compiler to always inline speed-critical functions, and added it to
many emulation functions in that category. gcc can be a pain in the butt.
GBA: Fixed a bug that would cause data corruption and the loaded game to crash whenever a state was
saved(but the state itself, and loading it, was fine) on a big-endian platform.
Fixed several instances of mismatches between format strings and passed argument types, which could cause
nonsensical information to be printed on big-endian platforms, and perhaps some little-endian platforms as well.
Fixed the minimum field-width specifier on the statements that print the loaded game's CRC32 in several
places.
Added the "format(...)" function attribute to the MDFN_DispMessage(), MDFN_PrintError(), and MDFN_printf()
function prototypes to catch format string errors.
Fixed the order of the sound drivers in the documentation(it was erroneously implying that OSS had a higher
priority than ALSA for the default sound driver), and added various notes to explain the sound drivers.
If an invalid "sounddriver" is selected, Mednafen will now print an error message and not initialize sound
instead of silently selecting the default sound driver.
SexyAL: Altered the argument order of SexiALI_Convert() to make more sense.
Fixed the broken conversion code used when the frame count passed to Write() is greater than 2048.
Fixed a bug/design flaw in the SexyAL SDL sound driver that can cause a crash during program
deinitialization.
Added support for "float" output format to the ALSA driver.
The ALSA driver will now try all formats that SexyAL's conversion code supports if the desired
format is not supported by the output device, rather that simply erroring out as before.
Added support for converting to 24-bit and 32-bit PCM output formats from the source format(which
is still fixed to signed 16-bit).
The driver function RawCanWrite() is now passed a pointer to a uint32_t, which it sets to the number
of bytes that can be written without blocking, rather than returning the value directly, so that
the return value can be used as a success/failure indicator.
The driver function RawWrite(), and the "user" function Write(), will now return 1 on success, 0 on
(fatal) error, rather than returning the amount of data written.
The OSS driver was testing the return value of open() incorrectly. Fixed.
SexyAL is now compiled as C++(but doesn't use many C++ features yet), which necessitated
adding several explicit casts in various code, and fixing some inconsistent function prototypes and
declarations.
JACK: Fixed a stereo playback crashing problem(a loop count was being calculated incorrectly).
JACK: Switched to using jack_client_open() instead of the deprecated jack_client_new().
JACK: The "sounddevice" setting is now used, to specify the JACK server to connect to.
JACK: Fixed a possible race condition in RawCanWrite().
JACK, SDL: Changed the inter-thread ringbuffer setup to be less likely to underrun, while not hurting
latency.
JACK, SDL: Additional playback position precision is now obtained by using
jack_get_time()/SDL_GetTicks(). This will improve Mednafen's performance with larger fragment sizes
with these drivers, but smaller fragment sizes are still preferred for latency-to-underrun-occurrence-ratio
reasons.
Renamed the "byteorder" field of SexyAL_format to "revbyteorder", and changed it to a boolean type,
to avoid confusion over what it actually represents.
Removed erroneous dependency on CD-ROM emulation when WonderSwan emulation is enabled in the configure script.
Added sanity checks to the first track number and total track count returned from libcdio, to prevent
a crash in Mednafen if the libcdio driver fails and returns nonsensical values.
Removed unused file sms/state.h
Fixed a very-old bug that caused joystick unique ID collisions if more than 2 of the same "type" of physical
joystick were available.
Fixed a string constant-to-(char *) problem in sms/romdb.h.
Mednafen is now compiled with -fsigned-char, to prevent any potential problems on systems with an "unsigned" char
type as default.
The included Tremor is now compiled with "-fvisibility=hidden" to work around a dynamic symbol collision
problem with libsndfile(BUT, -fvisibility is only available in gcc 4.0 and newer).
This solution may not be correct...
Updated Tremor to the latest SVN version.
PC-FX: Added a semi-hack to fix a missing background layer problem in parts of "Angelique Special". The
underlying problem(no emulation of the programmable BG0 subscreen) will be corrected in 0.9.0.
PC-FX: Removed the unused V810 cache structures(Mednafen 0.9.0 will feature cache emulation, however).
PC-FX: Added a few CPU variables to save states whose absence could have caused netplay/movie desynch.
PCE: Fixed virtual power-toggle initialization of VCE and gamepad input variables.
PCE, PC-FX: Fixed the emulation of SCSI command 0xDE, mode 0x1. The value returned was too small by
2 seconds.
PCE, PC-FX: Fixed the sector count for the last track(which influences the leadout track start position/total
sector count) in multi-track CUE/BIN CDROM images.
PC-FX: Fixed the handler address called when a TRAP instruction is executed.
PC-FX: Fixed the exception code set when an FPU divide-by-zero occurs(previously, it was being set to the
integer divide-by-zero exception code).
Fixed several problems in file.cpp, including buggy and overly-complicated MDFN_read*le() functions,
and a problem with the const-ness of the return value of strrchr() with gcc 4.4.
Changes for version 78
* Fixed an issue where, after failing to load a ROM, the
emulator would be paused forever.
* Added a toggle to joypad configuration to allow or disallow
direct use of modifier keys.
* Changed the option to disable screensaver so that it uses
XResetScreenSaver and xdg-screensaver due to XTestFakeKeyEvent
being removed in the latest X.org release.
Changes for version 77
* Added pt_BR translation. [Tiberio Vitor]
* Fixed a bug where the sound driver would switch from SDL
in the Preferences dialog if one of OSS or PortAudio was not
installed.
Upstream changes:
2.8.4 to 3.0: (September 11, 2009)
* Huge updates to the TIA emulation system. Illegal HMOVEs are now
handled correctly, resulting in improvements to many ROMs (thanks
to Wilbert Pol for many ideas and code for these improvements). All
HMOVE emulation 'cheats' were removed; the emulation is now cycle-exact
in this area.
* Improved emulation of the Cosmic Ark 'starfield effect', also used in
Stay Frosty; the emulation now looks very accurate.
* Many improvements to the normal TIA rendering code, fixing problems
when disabling certain graphical objects (certain objects were
being misdrawn when others were enabled/disabled).
* Improved TIA collision handling in the non-displayable area of the
screen; this fixes problems in RAMRacer ROM.
* Improved TIA redraw problems/graphical garbage when ROMs generate
many more scanlines than a real TV would allow; this fixes problems
in Q-Bert and the recent Playaround demo.
* Added 'Fixed Debug Colors' option similar to the no$26k emulator.
This allows each graphical object to be drawn in a fixed color,
more clearly showing how the objects interact. HMOVE blanks are
also shown in a different color. The TIA now emulates a 7-color
register model, allowing even shared objects to show different
colors. This is toggled with the 'Alt Comma' key.
* Related to 'Fixed Debug Colors', HMOVE blanks can now toggled during
TIA display with the 'Alt-m' key.
* Added rewind functionality to the debugger, where states are saved
after each step/trace/scanline/frame advance. Pressing 'Alt-r' or
clicking the new rewind button will undo up to 100 previous
operations.
* Added 'electron beam indicator' to the debugger TIA output. Basically,
this is a visual pointer indicating the position of the electron gun
when scanning the display.
* Added ability to completely disable fullscreen mode, which fixes
problems for some people where fullscreen mode was being entered
even if it wasn't enabled.
* Added '-joyallow4' commandline argument and associated UI item to
allow all 4 directions to be pressed simultaneously on a joystick.
* Improvements made to the ROM launcher: the backspace key now goes
to the parent directory (this key can be remapped), and previously
selected directories are now automatically selected.
* Added support for 2IN1 bankswitching scheme, where two ROMs are
present in one binary. Currently supported are 2, 4, 8, and 16K
ROMs.
* Added bankswitch support for the 6K version of Starpath/Supercharger
ROMS. This allows the 6K version of Cubis to run.
* Updated bankswitching schemes FASC and MB; they are now known as
FA and F0, respectively. This naming brings Stella in line with
other emulators and programming utilities.
* Fixed editing of cheats in the Cheat Dialog; the old cheat wasn't
being removed.

to be adressed but example programs i had installed before worked fine.
The errors i currently get are:
1 Could not load Mozilla. HTML rendering will be disabled.
2 err:seh:raise_exception Exception frame is not in stack limits => unable to
dispatch exception.
Where 1) is annoying but 2) is more revealing.
It would bomb out on:
freetype.c:166: error: 'FT_MulFix' undeclared here (not in a function)
freetype.c:166: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'pFT_MulFix'
This is due to a newer version of freetype. Patch by Shunichi Fuji. Still
fails to compile on other errors, but one more down.
Changes for version 75
* Fixed screensaver disable option so it doesn't send a fake keypress
when Snes9x isn't focused.

a screen's mode index.
* Fixed a bug where the PortAudio driver wouldn't output sound at
44100hz.
* Allowed changing the behavior of the ESC key so it exits Snes9x.
Changes for version 74
* Fixed a couple thread deadlocking problems in the audio mixer
that could result in no sound.
* Removed the powerof2 function to fix compile problems on OpenBSD.
* Changed fullscreen mode to issue a raise signal to the window
manager after remapping.
