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.
