BigPEmu v1.09

Lundi 18/09/23 à 16:22 par Firebrand

Cet excellent émulateur Jaguar a été mis à jour. Les améliorations sont les suivantes:
- New "State Sync" network device type, synchronizes system state across the network. This allows local 2-player games to be played over Internet/LAN connections.
*Very simple implementation that just stalls out if input doesn't arrive in time. State Sync Delay option adjusts the anticipated latency window. If you run into timing issues, the host can manually kick everyone back together by loading a state.
*State Sync Remap can be used to remap the first local input device to any other input device. Also allows overlapping controls. (e.g. two peers both affecting the first input device)
*Works with any number of clients, with clients above the supported input device count being treated as spectators.
- New "Script" network device type, allows scripts to implement custom network/socket handlers. Includes automatic delta compression and some other niceties.
- A new script adds multiplayer to AvP!
*Implements networking from scratch using the aforementioned socket interface, and works with the unmodified retail ROM image.
*Proper client-server architecture, up to 32 players can drop in at any time during gameplay. (in theory)
*Generally handles the fundamentals, but expect plenty of limitations, bugs, and odd behavior. This game wasn't designed to support multiplayer, and I've left a few threads hanging under the guise of "shippable."
*Enemies can correctly change off between player targets.
*I hope this serves as another demonstration of the sort of madness which can be accomplished with the scripting system, and I'd love to see others give this sort of treatment to more titles.
- Lots of new scripting/VM functionality.
*UI event callbacks for custom rendering over/under the rest of the UI.
*New UI rendering functions for various primitives and text.
*Input functions to allow querying input states across all native devices.
*Scripts can now load and render/play texture and sound resources.
*New native-backed 4x4 matrix/transform operations.
*Script can now get a list of ROM from from the current ROM directory, and load images in that directory.
*Scripted polygon texture references now have the option of pointing to native texture resources. Could be useful for something like a high-res texture replacement script.
- Fixed a floating point comparison bug in the VM interpreter.
- VM modules are now loaded automatically if a .bigpcvm file is present with the same name as the ROM image being loaded, similar to other image-specific resources. This allows Jaguar software to be distributed alongside emulator-specific script enhancements.

Cet excellent émulateur Jaguar a été mis à jour. Il prend désormais en charge le JagLink qui permettait de connecter plusieurs consoles entre elles. Les améliorations sont les suivantes:
- JagLink support is here!
*Max player count is supported in AirCars and BattleSphere, with the potential for any number of emulated Jaguars to be networked together.
*Special splitscreen functionality has been added.
*Works over Internet/LAN or locally via loopback.
*Don't expect anything to be playable or stable over the Internet unless you've got LAN-like latency and no packet loss.
*When the central host loads a saved state, it's automatically propagated to all clients.
* Here's a video which goes over all of the network features and demonstrates a splitscreen setup: https://youtu.be/b2e7Vl4aLps
- Added -cfgpath and -cfgpathabs command line options. This overrides the default config path, useful for splitscreen instances.
- Added -windowx and -windowy command line options. Useful for tiling out instances for splitscreen play.
- Added a -noborder command line option. Removes the border from the window in windowed mode, best used with -windowx, -windowy, -forcewidth, and -forceheight.
- Added an -alwaystop command line option. Keeps the window always-on-top, also useful for splitscreen mode.
- Added -netlisten, -netconnect, -netport, -netmax, -netloaddelay, -netpcldelay, and -nettcp command line options.
- Bumped the debugger protocol version, make sure you update to the latest Noesis if you're using the developer build.

Une nouvelle version de cet excellent émulateur Jaguar été publiée rapidement pour corriger quelques problèmes:
- Fixed a bug which was causing the VR Swap Eyes setting to be incorrectly tied to other settings. This probably explains reports from some users of being "cross-eyed" by default.
- Added stereoscopic rendering support for the GPU list variant used by the MC3D stage 1-3 boss.

Cet excellent émulateur Jaguar a été mis à jour. Les améliorations sont les suivantes:
- Jaguar VR support is here, with head tracking and stereoscopic rendering.
*A new Head Tracker input device type has been added, along with some options for converting analog inputs to tracker angles.
*Stereoscopic rendering is fully implemented, and integrated into the scripting system.
*Check out all the new settings in the Video/VR menu.
*The scripting system has the potential to add Head Tracker support and stereoscopic rendering to any Jaguar title, so more Jaguar VR games may be coming!
*This video demonstrates and explains some of the new VR functionality: https://youtu.be/BAJjzlrsbis
- Added an OpenVR plugin to support the new Jaguar VR implementation.
- A new script is included to implement stereoscopic rendering and enable Head Tracker support in the final/retail version of Missile Command 3D.
*To map the head tracking through any analog input with the script enabled: set the second input device type to "Head Tracker", and bind the second device's analog inputs to whatever pleases you.
*To enable stereoscopic rendering with the script enabled: go to Script Settings in the menu and enable the stereoscopic rendering option. Stereo-capable scenes will be rendered using the emulator's selected VR/anaglyph 3D settings.
*When VR is enabled (via the Video/VR settings) and successfully initialized, if a compatible headset is present, its orientation will automatically feed the Head Tracker input.
*Stereoscopic rendering was never actually implemented in MC3D, this is a brand new software feature designed to fully realize the potential of Jaguar VR.
- Fixed a Blitter issue with DCOMPEN in phrase mode. (introduced in the Patreon-exclusive 1.061 build)
- Lots of changes/additions for developer mode, and separate debugger-enabled builds are now available from the official web site. Check the ReadMeDev.txt file in the debugger-enabled build distribution for more information. (introduced in the Patreon-exclusive 1.061 build)

Ce gestionnaire de ROMs a été mis à jour. Les améliorations sont les suivantes:
New Features
- CHD built in support: Chdman.exe is no longer needed!, RV now supports reading all CHD Versions, and compression. (Thanks to a number of people over in the RV Discord Channel for help out making this one a reality.) Along with the CHD scanning being built in a lot of work has been done to make this use parallel processing code, to give somewhere around a 3 to 4 times speed improvement in scanning over chdman.exe!!
- Keep only full sets: There is now a directory option to only keep full game sets. Any incomplete sets will not be fixed, meaning no more dirs full of 1000's of cue files and no isos.
- ZipMove improvements: ZipMove is now used in more cases where possible, zipmoving zips even if they are not complete, but are best available.
- No-Intro DAT Improvements: Support for Parent/child and Numbered No-Intro DATs have been added, so you can do all of these styles from the one source No-Intro DAT's, and use dir options to set your style preferences.
- Don't stop scanning: A number of scanning errors are handled better now, previously they would stop the scan, now they are reported as errors, and the scan continues.

Bug Fixes
- DatVault Linux: Datvault has been fixed to work in Linux. Check Boxes working correctly.
- Added some missing headers: Added lynx.xml & a7800.xml header support.
- Missing files cannot have alt values: Finally tracked down a cause of this error, and fixed it.
- Fix case sensitive FS issues: Fixed some issues to make case sensitive file systems better supported.
- Duplicate directories occurring in the tree: Fixed a bug that allowed multiple dirs of the same name to appear in the tree.
- ToSort default dir: If removed it can be added back in as a relative path dir.
- MIA in FixDats: Added the MIA flag to fix Dats.

Cet excellent émulateur Jaguar a été mis à jour. Les améliorations sont les suivantes:
- New scripting system. In developer mode, scripts are auto-recompiled on startup. Developer options are also available to automatically detect script changes while the application is running. Compiled scripts must be enabled through a new Script Modules feature.
- A new script is included which allows Cybermorph to render polygons/textures at the native resolution.
- An option for adjusting MSAA has been added to the video settings. This is only relevant to things which use the native depth buffer, like the new Cybermorph script.
- A new script is included which allows uncapping the framerate in Alien vs. Predator.
- A new script is included which fixes flickering in the Brett Hull Hockey prototype.
- A simplified CRT library along with a whole bunch of BigPEmu-specific API functionality is included in the scripting system via the Scripts/bigpcrt library.
- Basic native DLL (CDECL) call functionality has been implemented in the scripting API, so that others can take the initiative to start implementing things like RetroAchievements as desired.
- Added native mouse input support. (must be enabled in the input settings) Mouse movement and buttons can be bound to analog, rotary, and digital inputs interchangeably.
- Some more work on debugger-enabled builds has been done behind the scenes, but this shouldn't affect anything user-facing just yet.
- Even more terrible secrets have been added.
- Made sure native rendering works even with a Screen Effect active. However, this isn't generally a recommended combination, as the effect will be sourcing from a native-resolution buffer instead of a Jaguar-resolution buffer. (post-Patreon build addition)
- Added a -conout command line option. Under Windows, this spawns a console and directs log output here instead of to a file. (post-Patreon build addition)
- The breadth of functionality encompassed by the scripting system is too vast to cover here, so I've made a video to highlight some of the features and explain how the existing scripts work: https://youtu.be/y4gXxSmLOg4
- Please help me out with support on social media and Patreon! Things have continued to be rough on the health front lately, and I've found it's getting harder to use Twitter to reach my actual target audience, so I'm depending more on organic word of mouth to spread project news and hopefully bring in support.
