Samedi 03/03/12 à 12:52 par Firebrand

Des corrections majeurs ont été apportées à ce gestionnaire de ROMs de référence. Voici de quoi il s'agit:

Mardi 28/02/12 à 18:39 par Firebrand

MESS passe directement de la v0.145u1 à la v0.145u3 pour garder la même numérotation que MAME. Les améliorations sont les suivantes:
New System Drivers Supported:
(none)

Systems Promoted from GAME_NOT_WORKING:
(none)

Skeleton drivers:
(none)

System Driver Changes:
-n64: Force mtc0 opcodes that initiate to-RSP DMAs to end recompile sequences to force a code check. Fixes certain microcodes from executing garbage code after DMA. [Ryan Holtz]
*Miscellaneous machine fixes, gets Conker's Bad Fur Day to boot through its legal screens with interpreter MIPS.
.Increase the amount of time consumed by PI DMA, makes certain RSP microcodes that test DMA speed land in the correct window.
.Force the main CPU to yield when the RSP reads its atomic semaphore.
.Force the RSP to yield when PI DMA completes.
.Flush the RSP DRC cache when touching IMEM with SP DMA.
*Increase CPU/RSP interleave from 600Hz to 1200Hz, seems to be just enough for RSP-side PI DMA tests to land correctly.
*Don't flush the RSP DRC cache on DMA. Fixes Mario 64 and others.
*Fix audio sync issues in Super Mario 64 and probably others, and also bring PI DMA speed into the realm of reality.
*Change PI DMA speed from 3 cycles/word to 5.08 cycles, as average PI speed is between 2.53 and 2.55 cycles/byte.
- vic20: Added support for loading .crt files. Note: this will only work if the first 2 bytes of the file contain the loading address, and only for single part cartridges. Please use the MESS software list instead of loose files. [Curt Coder]
- next: Timer free running mode [O. Galibert]
- c64: Added support for the Final Cartridge and Prophet-64 cartridges. [Curt Coder]
- ti99: Horizon Ramdisk expansion card added [Michael Zapf]
- z88: moved uPD65031 emulation into a device and fixed keyboard input. [Sandro Ronco]

Software Lists:
- c64.xml/c128.xml Added Buddy System 64/128 v10 floppies. [Quantum Leaper]
- ti99.xml: Added softlist support to ti99. XML file is still preliminary, must be filled with more entries. Only two cartridge PCB types supported (standard/paged) at this time. RPK will continue to be available. [Michael Zapf]
- apple1.xml: added a few more tapes [Anon01]
- pico.xml: 8 new Euro dumps! [Team Europe]

Source Changes:
- 680x0: Ensure fc/rw and fault address are consistant [O. Galibert]
- i386: Prevent page faults when returning to same privilege and unmapped pages are above the stack. Windows 95 boots now. [Carl]
- Modernized terminal device and added possibility to change comm parameters [Carl]
- i386: LOCK prefix should depend on IOPL on 386. Windows NT beta boots. [Carl]
- info.c: several fixes and additions to listxml output [Fabio Priuli]
*appended to xml info about devices which can be optionally mounted to slots
*added a description attribute to slotoption to show which devices can be mounted in each slot
*added to xml info of cpus/inputs/image/slots which are relative to devices (e.g. CPUs or Dipswitches in the device itself)
*tags of elements directly attached to the root_device do not display anymore the root colon (slot tags were already behaving in this way); elements attached to optional devices use tags starting with colon (to be interpreted as a relative tags which gets appended to the device tag, when such a device is selected in a slot)
*modified when necessary output routines to pass a root_device and a root_tag as parameters, in order to simplify output of relative devices and avoid duplicated code
*updated DTD according to the new elements and attributes. These changes allow frontends to know in advance how drivers can be configured through the various slot options (by matching option descriptions with device descriptions), without the need to run -lx with the various slot combinations. This is especially of use if a device adds e.g. dipswitches or image devices (like additional floppy drives or additional slot expansions), but also if one wants to know e.g. how many sound channels a soundcard would add to a pc driver, or which kind of screen parameters would be added by a specific choice of video card. .

ClrMAME Pro v4.03 (32-bit)

Lundi 20/02/12 à 19:16 par Firebrand

Les changements apportés aux CHDs impactent bien évidemment le fonctionnement de ClrMAME Pro qui a été mis à jour avec le support de cette nouvelle gestion:
well...major update. CHD version 5 is introduced and multi software list support is added...
- added: multi SoftwareList support; see below for details
!!! when importing MAME, you're asked if you want to import software lists since even MAME got some. If you're not familar with it, don't import them !!!
- added: chd version 5 support
removed internal chd decompress/verify process. Deep validation is now done directly by calling chdman. For this, you need to go to Settings->Compressor->ChdMan and setup the path (if not included in %PATH% env variable already) for chdman. Also the default validation command needs to be entered. Default is given for latest chdman which comes with 145u1. !!! Older versions require -verify %1, the current one verify -i %1 !!! During validation you see the chdman console window, so you can see the progress. Removed option for read sector map and show bad metadata. Cmpro now only reads the various headers and checks the sha1/md5 there. Also I've added an option in the chdman dialog to select your prefered chd version. If found chds don't match, you will get a warning during scanning. This replaces the old upgrage/downgrade messages. !!! The current default value here is 5. You should set this to 4 if you did not update yet !!!
- added: samples extensions wav, flac, ape and sam are supported
- added: profiler context menu option to clean cache for single profiles/folders
- misc: show warning if sysdefpaths aren't rompaths plus option to auto add them
- misc: don't warn about not active sysdefpaths when no path is assigned
- misc: setinfo shows standard/mechanical/device/etc in separate branches
- misc: systems dialog list standard/device/etc with new captions
- misc: improved fuzzy name check in case of double checksums
- misc: some general packer handling for empty filenames in archives
- misc: some more descriptive rar error messages
- misc: removed warning if rompath names match setnames
- added: compressor / general option to warn about identical names in archives
- fixed: crash on 7z entries with no filename
- fixed: possible memleak on illegal 7z file timestamps
- fixed: wrong progress title & cancel handling when auto-moving to sysdefpaths
Multi-SoftwareList support: This version brings you multi-software list support, i.e. multiple software lists within one xml will be read (single software lists are also supported of course, no matter if they are standalone or with outer ). Multi software lists are handled like this:
*all sets (no matter if they got identical names) are added to the current games list
*for each software list, a new system (system picker dialog) is added you have to assign unique sysdefpaths to such new 'systems'
*profile is named after the 1st and last software list (in case of an exe import, the profile is named after the exe profile description)
*fix dats export all missing files
*datfile export (setinfo window) does NOT export software list roms
*setinfo window's select-sets edit box got a new variable (%l) to pick roms from a given list
*scanner output of a missing set additionally lists the software list (can be enabled/disabled via context menu view)
EXE improvements:
*in case of an exe -listxml output (like MAME/MESS) you're asked if you want to include found software list. You see a list of available ones and can select none, some or all. In case of some, your selection will be remembered for a possible future update of MESS/MAME
*in case of 'all', the exe is run once again with -listsoftware
*in case you picked some, cmpro runs "-listsoftware softwarelistname"
Keep in mind that you can drag'n drop rompaths in the settings folder for a quick way to add all your software lists paths. Then you can use the auto assign option in systems to setup the belonging sysdefpaths. You can of course still use singe software list profiles if handling via sysdefpaths is too complex for you.
