Version 1.5.0 of blueMSX has been released ! Initially conceived as a bugs fixing release, this version comes mainly with great improvements :
- The entire timing scheme of the emulation and DirectDraw is replaced. The result is higher frame rate on slower PCs (< 1.4 GHz) and less interruptions in the sound. - MSX1 emulation is improved : correct specific palette of colors, CMOS disabled in MSX1 mode - Full RTC implementation in MSX2/2+ modes, including test and alarm register - The system roms are no more embedded in the executable file and the emulator is released in two versions : one that includes the bios roms as separate files (as NLMSX or paraMSX) and one that only contains C-BIOS and no copyrighted roms. Which are the other changes ? - Added two counters : frames per second and using of CPU resource by the emulator - Added pause and stop buttons to toolbar - Added finnish language - Added support for the different SCC/SCC+ mappers - Added support for zipped save states - Added rom type selection dropdown in rom open dialog box - Updated horizontal stretch - Correct sprite palette in screen 8 - Fixed bugs with double click on a dsk or rom file : the emulator starts now with this file only (it ejects any inserted cartridges); if blueMSX is already running, the double click will have effect in the existing emulator - Fixed mouse lock when running at high frequency - Fixed lockups when running emu and dialogs are moved over emulation - Fixed bug with property page in full screen mode - Fixed bug in toolbar update when starting or stopping emulation - Made switch check boxes in options/emulation not restart emulation - Fixed VDP bug that made some Namcot MSX1 games fail in screen 1 - Fixed bug in disk patch : it flushes VDP commands correctly (BGV #13 in Disk Station 17 and Rune Master III now show graphics correctly) - Fixed bug in machine editor dropdowns : clicking outside dropdown does not reset value - Fixed bugs in the mixer control (position of the balance slider, volume when selecting mono) - Fixed bugs in sprite emulation and screen 6 horizontal scroll - Fixed bugs in the graphical interface - Fixed bug in save states for MSX1 machines You can find this emulator here : http://www.bluemsx.com _______________________________________________ MSX mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Info page: http://lists.stack.nl/mailman/listinfo/msx
