MEKA 0.72 WIP 20061217

----------------------

- Updated k.

- Emulation:

- Fixed data corruption/overflow in VDP emulation when seeking and

writing to an invalid palette address. Thanks Maxim. [Omar]

- VDP palette write do not mask out current VDP address, so performing

the (unprobable) set address/access palette/access VRAM sequence will

keep address in the full 16KB range. [Omar]

- Fixed VDP line interrupts not properly running in overscan area in

224 lines mode. Fixes bottom of the screen in Charles Mac Donald's

BB2K6 demo. [Omar]

- Video:

- Changed default fullscreen blitter configuration in the hope of getting

something more compatible (640x480 by default), as so many people have

problems with fullscreen modes.

- Got rid of "parallel" blitter that displayed both odd and even frame

next to each other. Seems useless now. Could be brought back if some

four-eyed person request it. [Omar]

- Debugger:

- Added "CLOCK" command, to display/reset a Z80 cycle counter.

Very simple but can be helpful to time Z80 routines. [Omar]

- (Win32) Forward debugging log to Windows debugging stream via

OutputDebugString(), so running MEKA from Microsoft Visual studio

will display log in the 'Output' window. [Omar]

- Project:

- (Win32) Added new targets supporting shared standard libraries. [Omar]

- Updated SOURCES.TXT documentation. [Omar]

- GUI:

- Fixed background picture not loading on startup. [Omar]

- Removed closing fadeout since the current implementation is way

inefficient and cannot garantee proper speed. [Omar]

- Added and modified entries in the checksum and compatibility lists. [Omar]

Some particular renaming includes:

Hello all! New build with small changes made since december. Not included yet, but Proppy submitted a first working version of the MacOS-X port (without Debugger and Sound yet), so hopefully we'll be able to release a beta MacOS-X build along with 0.72.


- CPU:

- Z80: Fixed cases were address arithmetic would not wrap in the

16-bit address space, effectively crashing the emulator (those cases

were mostly happening on corrupted data, but it also legit Z80 code,

and in any case we don't want the emulator to crash). [Omar]

- Tilemap viewer:

- Fixed leftover of white rectangle when mouse hover last line. [Omar]

- Debugger:

- Added "B nopnop" shortcut to break on two successives NOP instructions.

This is basically equivalent to "B x =0,0". [Omar]

- Miscellaenous:

- Increased max length of directory/filenames. [Musuruan]

- Added "Automatically crop and align screen captures" option.

This option aligns screen captures on the nearest visible tile,

helping to simplify the process of creating game maps by pasting

captures next to each other. [Omar]

Note: May not work properly on game using scanline based effects.

- Added and modified entries in the checksum and compatibility lists. [Omar]

Great news: I finally took the time and fixed all leftover blitters problems that were introduced when switching to hi-color mode. Meaning that I should now be able to release an official 0.72 version! - It's not lacking features compared to 0.71. This WIP version should be the last, consider this as a Release Candidate for MEKA 0.72. Please report any problem you may find with it.

The new video settings are located in the .cfg file, they don't have an interface as of yet but things should work pretty well without tweaking them.
