Hi,
After a long wait, openMSX 0.6.0 was released today, along with a new
version of Catapult, its GUI/launcher. The most important changes are:
* Full support for GCC 4, allowing compilation on Mac OS X 10.4 and
recent Linux distributions.
* Zoom factor 3: MSX images are enlarged to 960x720 resolution.
* New scaler: RGBTriplet (3x only), which plots the red, green and blue
subpixels slightly shifted.
* V9990: speed improvements, enabled scalers, scanline and blur.
* Improved sound from DAC devices, such as turbo R PCM and Konami DAC.
* Support for saving to cassette.
* Internal CAS to WAV conversion uses 5520 baud for faster loading.
* Option to automatically switch to maximum speed when the MSX is
loading from disk or tape.
* More extensive debugging, including conditional break points.
* Workaround for the infamous CAPS LOCK problem.
* Catapult can test which machines and extensions have the necessary
ROMs installed and display only those.
For the complete list of changes, please read the release notes. You can
download openMSX 0.6.0 here
[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=38274&package_id=30511&release_id=387305].
Source and Win32 packages are available now, Debian packages are
expected soon and the Gentoo ebuild is already updated in their CVS.
Note that we are still looking for a Windows developer
[http://www.msx.org/forumtopicl5746.html] who can keep the Windows
version of openMSX up-to-date. If you like openMSX, run Windows, can
work systematically and have a bit of free time (it's not a huge job),
please contact us.
