Fusion 3.6

* Fixed Sound/Timing Issue with Fahrenheit SCD/32X.


* Fixed a typo which corrupted a register in the YM2612 SSG/EG section.


* Removed a few pieces of test code that were not supposed to be left in, and affected timing of various things under certain conditions.


* LOTS of behind-the-scenes fixes and improvements, which I've totally forgotten, but you will notice them and remind me at some point ;-)


* Rewrote controller code, should fix problems with some USB controllers.


* Rewrote Menacer emulation which made it easier to add Konami Justifier emulation. Just the first Justifier is emulated for now. You'll definitely want to calibrate it in games that use it.


* Added SegaCD SaveStates that actually, you know, work.


* Added support for more games that use custom SRAM, and fixed some that were already emulated, but got broken at some point.


* Added support for all unlicensed Genesis games that I know of.


* Added support for the Sega Virtua Processor (SVP). Thanks to the reverse engineering work by the amazing Tasco Deluxe, and the proof of concept emulator by Notaz, I was able to write and debug my ASM core for this in just two days.


* Removed some filtering in YM2612 SuperHQ mode (you won't actually notice) and instead added a "Filter" option to the sound menu. This filter is very close to that in a real Model 1 Genesis/MegaDrive. Most people will want to leave this off (me included) but I know some people wanted it.


* Removed 11025Hz option. It was causing me problems, doesn't work well on most newish hardware, and sucked anyway.


* Added preliminary Sega Pico support. There's a lot more I plan to do with this. For now, just load as a Genesis ROM. Mouse is required for Pico, along with the following controls: START switches between StoryWare and trackpad, B is the pico red button, A and C turn pages, and U/D/L/R are, well, U/D/L/R.


* Added ability to create 128K SegaCD RAM carts to keep SpinelSun happy ;-)


* Added two controller sharing options for Netplay. Everybody can now share controller one, or all controllers. The latter isn't very useful, but why not.


* Added "Nearest Multiple" option to the Video Menu. The various Aspect modes do what they have always done when this option is enabled, but now when it is disabled, they will allow non-multiple stretching while still keeping the aspect ratio correct.


* Added "Use NTSC Aspect" option to the Video Menu. This used to be done automatically under certain conditions, now you have full control.


* Added Pause Emulation feature.


* Added Frame Advance feature.


* Added No Frame Skipping feature. You should pretty much ignore this and let Kega do what is best. But it does also trigger a special case mode when you have VSync enabled, and you hit Fast Forward. Normally, VSync is ignored during Fast Forward, or else Fast Forward wouldn't actually do very much. With No Frame Skipping enabled, it will still do VSyncs.

This might be useful to you if your video mode is running at some odd refresh rate. Note that the sound could well sound awful if you do this.


* Added AVI Logging using custom Kega Game Video 1 lossless codec. This is needed because logging RAW video causes poor performance even on highend machines, and using any of the available codecs either doesn't compress well enough to fix that, or does compress well enough, but can't keep up with 60fps, so you get poor performance either way. The codec is able to use hints from the emulator to aid in compression, allowing pretty good compression while taking very little CPU time. The codec to allow you to play back and convert the files is included in the archive, and can be installed via right clicking on the INI file and telling the OS to continue with the install. Tested on XP and Vista64, should work fine on 9x and Vista32.


Note that these AVI files are not really meant to be shared as they are, it's just a way for you to log video without horrible laggy gameplay.

Convert them to Xvid or something using the excellent VirtualDub program (Google it.) I'll open up this codec sometime later incase it's useful for other purposes/programs.


* Disabled BIOS use where possible during Netplay games, to prevent out of sync errors when people had different combinations of BIOS/NO BIOS/ Different BIOS.


* Netplay Games should now automatically change your country code to that of the host.


* Added Fast 32X Timing option. This is mainly for development. If you don't know what this is for, leave it disabled.


* Added CartBoot option, which is enabled via INI file only. Again, if you don't know what this is for, leave it disabled.


* Kega Fusion now runs beautifully under Vista.

yabause 0.9.8-1 windows bugfix

All other platforms are not concerned.

Turns out there was a rather nasty bug in the windows port in the last release. If after setting up Yabause for the first time, you exited, reloaded Yabause, then went into the Settings, it would crash. So I fixed the bug and uploaded a new version to the download page which fixes this issue. So yeah, if you ran into this problem, please try downloading the new version.
Get it here:

http://yabause.org/download/
 
Makaron T11/1 is out.


Now, pay attention:

* It's only the Dreamcast version for now.

* It has been compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ so you might need to install the runtime libraries to get it to work. It's only 4MB and you can download it from Microsoft.

* Hit F8 to exit the emulator at any time

* You can now use Pause/Break key to pause/resume the emulation


Minimum hardware requirements have also changed:

* Processor must have SSE support

* Graphics card must be at least Shader Model 2.0 compatible

Kega Fusion 3.61

Various fixes for problems found in the last version, plus a couple of extras:


* Moved menus around a bit - the Country and CD Drive menus are now part of the Options menu. This fixes problems with the old menus not fitting properly in 320x240 mode, and is also a bit less cluttered.


* Timing was out by a small amount after I removed test code. It should now be back to where it was supposed to be, removing minor glitches from a few games.


* Problems with Vista-specific code reported by a few people should now be fixed. Please report any problems with this as soon as possible.


* Windowed VSync is not required, or desired, under Vista. Fusion now will default to ignoring the VSync flag when running windowed in Vista. There is an INI file option to re-enable it just incase this causes problems for anyone.


* Vista-specific code can also be disabled via another INI file option, incase this causes problems, or you're trying to run Fusion under Wine, Darwine, or Crossover.


* Sound effects in Primal Rage 32X are working again.


* AVI output now should not affect what you see on screen.


* Screenshot options - you can now select to save screenshots at various stages. Final is what you'd get from earlier versions, Corrected is non filtered but aspect corrected, and raw is not aspect corrected.


* Minor modifications to Render Plugin stuff.


* Upped the number of Render Plugins again, to 48. Please don't ask for any more, there isn't, and probably never will be, anything like 48 different plugins that are actually worth bothering with ;)


* Modifications to Full Screen Resolution after noticing that default resolutions for large widescreen monitors were sometimes not appearing in the list. Should be fine now.


* A few more behind-the-scenes fixes.


Merry Christmas.

Kega Fusion v3.62

Whats New ?

-----------


Not much, mainly just a few tweaks and minor bugfixes.


* Seperate SMS controls (finally) allowing for support of SMS Paddles and

Light Phasers. The reason I haven't done this before is down to the UI.

I don't much like the current solution, either, but it's functional for

now.


* State Slots now report if they are already in use, by request.


* Allow changing state slots, and saving states (but not loading) during

Netplay. I'm not sure what use this is, but it was often requested.


* Added support for a couple of Custom SRAM games that were recently

discovered.


* Windows Live Messenger status updates. (thanks Gerrie!)


* Many small behind the scenes bugfixes that you probably won't notice, and

I've mostly forgotten...
