22:16EST - ElectrEm Beta 9 for DOS, Win 9X, Linux Released

ElectrEm Beta 9 for DOS, Win 9X, Linux, an Acorn Electron emulator has been released. This release includes the following features, enhancements, and bugfixes:

• I have cleared some issues regarding distribution of the Acorn ROMs with the emulator, and as such have now included them. However, I'm not really sure what to do about the Pres E00-ADFS ones, which would be really useful also.
• a rewrite of the sound and tape i/o code brings some changes and new features. Namely :
• tape loading using genuine tapes from the soundcard or a sound file (Microsoft wave [.wav], Apple AIFF [.aif or .aiff], SUN AU [.au] & raw sound formats supported). But be warned : at this time, the soundcard option is near untested and highly experimental. And the same goes for soundcard tape output, which has suffered something of a rewrite.
• saving to tape UEF files and the piping of input to output is now possible, so ElectrEm can be used to generate UEF files from Electron tapes with none of the over-zealous validation checks of MakeUEF. A seperate utility, CleanUEF is now available to reduce approximately ROM format tapes to a canonical form.
• the previous 'real time' sound capability is dead, replaced by 'low fidelity sound emulation' which produces about the same quality of sound (actually a little better in Windows), but is fully target portable
• byte by byte sequential file access is now accelerated by the fast tape mechanism, speeding up the loading of games such as Zalaga (full price release) & Ian Botham's Cricket
• Native support is now implemented for files created by one of the Slogger T2P3 or T2Peg ROMs. They are, and will remain for the forseeable future, read only. Support will come for WH Scholten's .tape format, and possibly the !6502Em tape format in the future.
• fixes/changes to autload capabilities :
• fixed state snapshot loading when 'collude with AutoLoad ROM' is enabled
• fix to preload ("load =" config file option) handling such that it now co-operates with autoload and is more path tolerant
• the autoload facility will now jiggle all ROMs except the Plus 1 as it sees appropriate, allowing for media type and so on
• it is now possible in all operating systems to pass a file as a program argument and have it loaded along with any preload files, meaning that (OS or Window Manager allowing - works a treat in MS-Windows) you can associate ElectrEm with the relevant file extensions, find some game and just double click to play
• it is worth noting that it is also now possible to add ROM inclusion/exclusion hints to UEF files, in order to help emulators out e.g. with whether to enable the Plus 1 ROM which some games require for joystick support but others don't function with at all
• as a quick fix for Karate Combat and others, the emulator will now (fast) LOAD"" locked files (both of those programs mess with the temporary memory store of the locked flag before the OS looks at it properly), but if possible I don't intend to make that a permanent feature
• started an SDL target, intended initially only as a potential replacement for GGI if that project really is dead forever. SDL does not offer sound input though, and has some odd keyboard behaviour (particularly on the caps and num lock keys). A compiled version will be available once the latter issue has been resolved.
• optimised the CPU cores a little (specifically I optimised accessing of the P register, avoiding a few conditional statements and cut some tables for cache reasons), and fixed the timing of some operations on the multiplexing core. Also a big source cleanup makes it much easier to maintain the two in parallel.
• made an attempt at optimising the video circuit emulation, which may or may not have helped
• a rethink of the frame skip mechanism results in improvements in that area
• added the facility to generate entirely empty and new (pre-formatted since the disc controller chip isn't emulated well enough to handle any other way!) DFS or ADFS diskettes, in any of the supported file types, and UEF tape files
• bug fix means that you no longer lose data when writing to UEF files on different filing systems than the executable/binary
• fixed a palette related issue which was causing some programs (such as certain calls to the OS ROM) to erroneously generate the free palette changes of Joe Blade et al
• fixed a potential crash bug for people without a joystick configured as the 'First Byte' joystick, and another when accessing UEF-Tape's from read only media
• upgraded the emulated Electron to a two disc drive machine
• made simple optimisation targetting the vast majority of titles which use only a section of the display area
• bug fixes to the GUI means it is no longer possible to 'jam' a file in the load menu (when every time you re-enter the menu system that file instantly selects itself and the menu system exits)

22:11EST - xtrs v.4.6 for Linux Released

xtrs v.4.6 for Linux, a Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I/III/4/4P emulator has been released. This release includes the following features, enhancements, and bugfixes:

• The value of -diskdir can now begin with "~/" (or just be "~") to make it relative to the user's home directory. Suggested by Jean-Marc Le Peuvedic.
• Fixed the heuristic that decides whether the TRS-80 is loading or saving to tape to work with the 500bps loader that came on a 250bps cassette with the tape Editor/Assembler. This code does an OUT to the cassette port first thing after turning on the motor, which was confusing us. Now if the TRS-80 does an IN from the cassette port with the motor on, we switch to reading even if we initially saw an OUT and guessed it was writing.
• Added feature: sending SIGUSR1 to xtrs causes a disk change (as if F7 were pressed). This is for use by external disk-manipulating programs. Suggested by Jean-Marc Le Peuvedic.
• Changed to a new keystretch algorithm that stretches for a fixed number of T-states instead of a fixed number of keyboard matrix reads. This should hopefully eliminate the need to tweak the keystretch setting to different values for games. Inspired by suggestions from Jean-Marc Le Peuvedic. To make this work, also had to change the KBWAIT algorithm to wait only after the ROM wait-for-key routine has been called several times with no keyboard state change.
• I noticed that the X server on my development machine is now reporting Shift+F1 as F13 instead of F11, so I changed the table in trs_keyboard.c to match, but I left an #if setting that can accommodate the old behavior. It looks like newer versions of XFree86 don't do either translation, thankfully.

22:06EST - 1964 v.0.6.2 for Win 9X Released

1964 v.0.6.2 for Win 9X, a Nintendo 64 emulator has been released. This release includes the following features, enhancements, and bugfixes:

• Support INI file, see the compatibility list in 1964.ini.
• Support ROM list display in GUI.
• Game shark code support, use F9 key to apply cheat code.
• Game shark code will be saved/loaded from 1964cheatcode.dat file.
• State save/load, use F5/F7 key to save/load state. Like PJ64, press 0 to 9 key to select the state save/load slots.
• State save/load file is compressed, Each file is about 1-2MB in size.
• Hot swap between interpreter and Dynareg compiler CPU mode, will help you to skip some points that Dynareg compiler fails but Interpreter will work
• Memory leakage bug fixes.
• Improved compatibility, 1964 has over 50 individual games playable.

22:02EST - FCE Ultra v.0.61R2 for Win 9X & Linux Released

• Speed optimizations in sprite rendering code.
• Screen snapshots are now saved in the PNG format instead of the PCX format.
• Fixed Game Genie emulation(it wasn't working in the last release). Also added support for Game Genie emulation to the UNIF code.
• Fixed a problem(if FCE Ultra was configured to connect to a remote host and the remote host was given as an IP address, and the IP address couldn't be reverse resolved, which is commonly the case on home LANs, the connection attempt would fail) in the network play code. I had misinterpreted the Winsock API documentation when I wrote the code.

23:16EST - Atari800Win Plus v.2.8 for Win 9X Released

Atari800Win Plus v.2.8 for Win 9X, an Atari 800 emulator has been released. This release includes the following features, enhancements, and bugfixes:

Added:
• 1) The Setup Wizard is used to perform installation of the emulator in the Windows environment (see the Help/Setup Wizard (Alt+W) menu option).
• 2) The Input menu has been added. It provides a comfortable way for accessing all the emulator�s input configuration options.
• 3) There is the ability to save video stream to an AVI file (only for GDI display modes and without the sound at the moment, see the View/Save video menu option).
• 4) Some state indicators displayed on the status bar have been introduced. The indicators show and allow to change (via mouse double-clicks) some emulation parameters. There is of course the possibility to turn them off by using the View/Show/State indicators (Alt+I) menu option.
• 5) The stretched graphics modes can be built using interpolation algorithm that gives �smooth� graphics like on an old TV set (vide the View/Stretching/Smooth option). Unfortunately, the interpolation routines are rather slow at the moment.
• 6) New full-screen mode (320x400 DirectDraw) has been added. This mode allows achieving a pretty fast emulation with scan lines or interpolation (though vertical only) turned on.
• 7) The emulator can now work in the background (it means without the focus, see the Misc/Task control/Stop when inactive menu option). There is also the possibility to run it at higher priority level (Misc/Task control/Run at high priority). The user may find these features useful especially for listening to the music played by the emulator run in the background.
• 8) The possibility to press simultaneously two keys that are used for emulating the opposite joystick�s directions is blocked by default now, but may be turned on (see the Allow to use opposite direction keys option in the Joystick Options dialog box).
• 9) The standard system colors may be optionally used for GUI in full-screen modes (see the Use system colors option in the Graphics Options dialog box). Unfortunately, it is reliable only for the standard Windows color scheme.

15:52EST - Kawaks v.1.09 for Win 9X Released

Kawaks v.1.09 for Win 9X, a Multi-Arcade emulator has been released. This release includes the following features, enhancements, and bugfixes:

• 1.08 was a lot slower than previous releases due to the new VRAM lag code. I have now optimised that code, and also optimised various other things, so hopefully, 1.09 should be as fast as older Kawaks. Still, since VRAM can still be a slowdown factor, I have included an option to disable it. (enabling VRAM lag only fixes a few minor gfx glitches, so you slower PC uses may want to let it disabled. Try and see for yourself)
• Optimised 2xSai, Super2xSai, SuperEagle blitters.
• Added a scanlined 2xSai blitter (much faster than 2xSai, slower than scanlines)
• 2xSai, SuperEable and Super2xSai should work on S3/S4 cards, and some other exotic ones, now (I'd like feedback on that...)
• Added a DisableJoystick option, since joystick management is a performance hit.
• Fixed "Show if available" crash
• Fixes in the menu code (better "ticks" management)
• Support for a default generic key setting : Put your usual key definitions in a file named defaultkeys.ini, which should be located in the same directory as WinKawaks.exe (not the INI directory) A defaultkeys.ini is included in this zip, just modify it to suit your needs. (You can use the INI of one of your configured games to help you.) Note that a game's ini has the priority to defaultkeys.ini. You may want to edit your defaultkeys.ini and delete all of your game's inis to make sure they all use the new settings on they next launch.
• Alt+A toggles Autoframeskip. Also shows a message on screen, now.

15:44EST - X88000 v.1.3.0 for Win 9X & Linux Released

• Added support for loading files in the PKZIP and gzip compressed file formats via zlib.
• Added the ability to configure the first scanline and the last scanline to draw to the screen. Enabling PAL emulation no longer will cause all 239 scanlines to be displayed, though an option to override these settings for when PAL emulation is enabled may be in the next version.

23:27EST - Kawaks v.1.08 for Win 9X Released

Kawaks v.1.08 for Win 9X, a Multi-Arcade emulator has been released. This release includes the following features, enhancements, and bugfixes:

• Added option to display only romsets that are available in the load game dialog box.
• Fixed Alien vs. Predator (Euro 940520) driver (sound bugs)
• Fixed CPS1 sprite issues (Punisher bus wheels, Andor disappearing when he jumps, etc)
• Fixed YM2152 (CPS1 music) tempo, but that causes new bugs: some sound codes mysteriously vanish now. That means sometimes, no music will play, or some sfx won't be played.
• Much improved Z80/68000 synchronisation, which allows the following :
• Fixed QSound tempo. Faster music, music synced to intro in VSav, etc etc
• Overclocked CPS2 games to 12.8MHz (instead of theorical 11.8MHz) This fixes many glitches. It's likely the 11.8MHz errors are due to timing errors in the 68000 core I use...
• Now lagging not only palette but entire VRAM. Fixes some layer/palette errors.
• Various CPS1 fixes:
• Mercs 'dirt on the sprites' should be fixed.
• Carrier Air Wing won't freeze anymore (game still buggy however, weird palette issues)
• The King of Dragons's in game backgrounds show. Fully playable now.
• 1941 won't freeze anymore when game starts.
• Added a setting in the INI to control sound emulation frequency (44100 default)
• New option in the INI to control the sound playback. If sound is bad on your system try playing with the SoundSegs and SoundSegLag settings. (6 and 5 are the default). For example, some older versions of Kawaks used 4 and 2. You may want to use them. (Note that SoundSegLag should be superior to 0 and inferior to SoundSegs)
• Now compiled with Turbo68K Version 0.5 (The Cpu Core Formerly Known As Genital68K)
• Redid the Kawaks splash screen code. Should display things correctly for vertical games and it looks better in fullscreen.
• New Alternate scanlines blitter. If you have a slower PC and are using scanlines, I recommend using those, since they should be quite faster.
• New image enhancement blitters : 2xSai, Super2xSai, Eagle. They are quite slow for now because those versions are pure C, without MMX optimisations. If you have a S3 or S4 card, I'd like to know if those blitters work for you...
• Changed the way the video blitters are handled (many internal changes to allow the future blitters). Now a unique Engine setting in the INI :
• 0 = Normal (default)
• 1 = Scanlines
• 2 = Scanlines 50%
• 3 = Alternate scanlines
• 4 = 2xSai
• 5 = Super2xSai
• 6 = SuperEagle
• Modified the menu to reflect the changes.
• In terms of speed, from fastest to slowest, the blitters are 0 3 1 2 6 4 5
• Added an extra set of resolutions in the INI to differenciate fullscreen resolution for normal blitter which needs a lower res from enhanced blitters (which need a twice bigger resolution) : * HorizontalFullScreenWidth Resolution for horizontal games with + HorizontalFullScreenHeight non Normal blitter (scanlines, 2xSai, etc) * VerticalFullScreenWidth Resolution for vertical games with + VerticalFullScreenHeight non Normal blitter (scanlines, 2xSai, etc) * HorizontalFullScreenWidthNormal Resolution for horizontal games with + HorizontalFullScreenHeightNormal Normal blitter * VerticalFullScreenWidthNormal Resolution for vertical games with + VerticalFullScreenHeightNormal Normal blitter
