 MAME v0.118u4 
Vendredi 31/08/07 à 09:20 par Firebrand
La mise à jour hebdomadaire de MAME vient de débarquer. Voici ce que celle ci nous propose:
The most recent update to MAME 0.118 is now available on the Latest Release page. This update consists primarily of a number of nice internal updates, including better Amiga system support (heading toward getting the Cubo CD32 games working eventually) from Ernesto Corvi, more DIP switch improvements and cleanup from stephh and Alex Jackson, some more improvements to the MIPS CPU cores, and a greatly expanded i386 disassembler. Check it out, and visit MAME Testers to report any issues.

Source Changes
- Converted the inputs in galaga.c to tags, using INCLUDE/MODIFY for clones, and fixing the conditional extra lives dips in xevious and digdug (bosco and galaga still need doing). Also added much more information on the digdug sets, thanks to some excellent work by stephh. [Alex Jackson]
- Fixed sound chip frequency in the superdq driver. [Jim Hernandez]
- chdman improvements: [smf]
.Fixed toc parsing to allow spaces and quotes in file names
.Supports "offset start length" track syntax that cdrdao creates if you don't read subcode
.Tracks are always padded with zeros & not whatever data happens to follow
.Moved cdrom_track_input_info out of src/lib/util/cdrom.h and into src/tools/chdcd.h
.Added audio byte swapping support
- Fixed DIP switches for Oscar (Japan Revision 0). [Corrado Tomaselli]
- Added DIP locations to the aerofgt driver. [Fabio Priuli]
- Amiga updates: [Erneso Corvi]
.Implemented ECS-Only BLTCON0L register
.Modified the amiga_interface structure to add a nmi callback and a flags variable.
.Added AGA chipmem mask definition
.Added 32 bit data bus support to chipram. It's automatically used if the chipset is AGA.
.Added clock chip constants in machine/amiga.h for 68k PAL and NTSC, and 68EC00 NTSC. Updates drivers to use those constants.
.Added convenience macros to determine wether we're running with an ECS chipset, AGA chipset, or 'ECS or AGA chipset'.
.Changed autoconfig reads to return 0x0000 instead of 0xffff.
.Fixed MSB value timer reads on the 8520 cia. We were previously only updating the count for the timer when the LSB value was read.
.Added basic Akiko emulation to the cubocd32 driver. Both the Chunky to Planar converter, and the I2C NVRAM should be fully implemented, however, the CDROM functionality is not complete. It's only enough to make the kickstart pass the Akiko checks.
- Taito input ports cleanup, continued: [stephh]
.Updated includes/taitoipt.h with macros for games with only 1 button
.Converted the following drivers and added more documentation, fixing incorrect inputs and DIP switches along the way: taitoair.c, taito_h.c, taito_x.c
.Slightly changed the C-Chip emulation for 'superman' to behave in a similar way as other Taito games
.Corrected some notes in some other Taito drivers
- Changed verinfo code to parse the version.c file instead of relying on linking against version.o. This appears to fix the link ordering problem and also prevents it from being constantly regenerated on
each build. [Aaron Giles]
- Significantly improved the i386 disassembler. Changed it so that it no longer outputs 'byte ptr' except for ambiguous cases. Updated for full 64-bit disassembly support. Added support for the full IA32
opcode matrix as specified by recent Intel manuals, including all SSE opcodes and variants. [Aaron Giles]
- Updated the x86 drc helper code to support externally-allocated cache. Also added support for allocating data structures out of the cache. Modified initialization so that it does not immediately generate code but rather waits for a reset to do that. Fixed code generation bug when generating [reg*scale] modrm forms. [Aaron Giles]
- Added new functions to the memory system to support CPU cores explicitly specifying the access mask on 32-bit and 64-bit data bus systems. This enables the MIPS core to handle SWL/SWR and SDL/SDR without a read/modify/write cycle. Updated the C and DRC MIPS cores to use this new mechanism. [Aaron Giles]
- Added new module x86emit.h which supports dynamic code generation for both x86 and x64 systems. This new system is a far more complete solution, though not all opcodes are defined yet. The interface for this is also cleaner than the previous one defined in x86drc.h. Existing DRC cores are still using the old interface, but the new one is preferred for new development. [Aaron Giles]
- Fixed recently introduced bug in the mips3 core that caused the C core to launch off into nowhere after the first instruction. [Aaron Giles]

New clones added
- Undercover Cops (Alpha Renewal Version) [Guru]
- Final Fight (US) [Corrado Tomaselli]

New games marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING
- Interstellar Laser Fantasy [Andrew Gardner]

 Nouveau test : The Punisher 
Mercredi 29/08/07 à 13:23 par Shenron
Cette semaine, on ne rigole plus : c'est The Punisher qui a droit à son test sur le site. Enfin bon, on va quand même rigoler un peu, mais plus discrètement, il paraît qu'il est assez susceptible.
 
 Emu Loader v5.1.6 
Mercredi 29/08/07 à 11:16 par Firebrand
Une grosse mise à jour pour ce frontend pour MAME vient d'être publiée. En voici les release notes:
- fixed: Auto game document #6 not being correctly read (preferences screen)
- fixed: Painting bug when scrolling games list while auto game documents is enabled
- fixed: Columns profile not being saved on certain cases (front-end startup)
- fixed: Columns profile .ini file is always deleted before saving again... to fix bug
- fixed: Games not being set correctly in grouped view mode. You'll need to re-create your games lists to fix this bug
- fixed: Custom driver options was setting game name instead of driver name
- fixed: Entries with null value now do not have "# entry" (mame.ini)... ctrlr, mngwrite, etc
- fixed: Couple bugs when scanning games list and CHD files
- fixed: Accesss violation when deleting multiple .zip files (progress bar bug)
- fixed: When favorites profile is empty, it was not being set as default at startup
- fixed: A few internal bugs
- fixed: The drop-down box # 6 (preferences screen) was reading the setting from the drop-down box #5
- changed: Renamed "Hidden Games Enabled" to "Activate Hidden Games" / "De-activate Hidden Games"
- changed: For MAME based systems, all driver .ini files will now be handled in "\source\" folder. For MAME builds older than v0.118u2, you will need to move the files to "" manually
- changed: ZiNc games now use the field "ScreenType" to hold the index of games, so EL can run them with ZiNc emulator
- changed: Games list files are changed again. Please re-create all your games lists
- changed: User interface in games filters selection screen has changed. Filters descriptions are now displayed as hints as you move the mouse over each option
- improved: Feature "Scan Audio Samples" ("Games List" main menu). It only shows a list of sample from missing games and sample files not used by any game
- improved: First change to start implementing large view mode, using "EasyListView" v1.60 component. On every game selection, the full game data will have to be redirected to memory variables. I just hope this does not generate the bug from old EL buids...
- improved: Removed systems lists from main menus to add them at runtime... much easier to add new systems in the future since I don't need to manually add the menu items
- improved: Main buttons tool bar / images buttons tool bar / status bar customization simplified
- improved: Customize columns screen
- improved: Bios sets selection screen (main menu "Emulator", "Bios Set" menu item)
- removed: Menu setting: "Use Controller" (main menu "Emulator")
- removed: Menu theme selection from "View" main menu. To select a theme go to preferences screen, "Front-end" tab, "Menu / Popup Themes" sub-tab
- removed: Game size (.zip file size)
- removed: Top bars and feature descriptions from some screens. Also some files from "\resources\images\topbars\" folder
- added: ROMs validation. All games are now fully scanned when updating the games list.If a game is missing a single ROM, it will be set as unavailable
Notes:
.ROMs of bios sets can now be placed in game sets (parents and/or clones) you can put ROMs of game sets into bios sets, but parent set must still exist
.you still cannot put ROMs of parent sets into clone sets
.ROMs for ZiNc and Daphne systems are not fully scanned (no ROMs list...)
- added: Customize main menu and popup menu colors (preferences screen, "Front-end" main tab, "Menu / Popup Themes" sub-tab)
Notes:
-> You can create as many themes as you like. They will be saved in "\ini_files\menu_themes.ini" file
-> Setting "Frame Round Corners" is used for both selection band and checked items
-> You can set single color, 2 colors gradient or 4 colors gradient for the selection band
-> Theme "Office 2007" cannot be modified
- added: A pretty timer in status screen so you can keep track on how long a task is taking. This is my first piece of code that use a second thread! :-)) Only create/scan games use this timer for now
- added: Fix for clone games with CHD files. File "\arcade\mame_roms.el" is updated to support filenames of clone CHD + filename of the parent CHD, using a ' _"parentchd"_ ' tag, like so:
Game: konam80u
CHD : 826uaa01.chd
Parent CHD: 826eaa01.chd
.. sample from "mame_roms.el"..
826uaa01.chd_"parentchd"_826eaa01.chd=0¬456f683c5d47dd73cfb73ce80b8a7351¬;
This means that the front-end will detect both chd files and if found will set the game as available... Make sure to create the games list again
- added: New files to keep track of merged games located in "\arcade\" folder (MAME based systems only)
-> mame_merged.ini
-> agemame_merged.ini
-> pinmame_merged.ini
-> hazemd_merged.ini
- added: You can resize game columns directly into the list now. Columns profile will be saved when:
.exiting the front-end
.swicthing between system filters
.when opening columns customizer screen
- added: Support for html link on new history.dat (not directly into the richedit box, but with a label above it)
- added: New menu option: Reload "catver.ini" / "nplayers.ini" / "artwork.ini" (main menu "Games List"). Use it to load the info from those files without restarting the front-end

- added: Each emulator have default parameters defined by you for cartridges, disc images and real discs (see new file "\emulator_parameters.ini"). Virtually any emulator that load games from the command line can be used
Use "\emulator_parameters.ini" to define default parameters for each emulator. See "docs\ec-emulator_parameters.txt" for more info on how to update/add more emulators to this file
NOTES:
-> every time you select a different emulator binary (Emulator Setup screen), the ROM/ISO/DISC parameters are read automatically if available in the .ini file
-> please keep the .ini file clean and use only original filenames of emulators
-> New parameters are saved in the new .ini file
- added: New setting for emulators: "Load From Disc (LD / CD / GD / MiniDVD / DVD)"

 Rice's HiRez Texturing Plugin v6.1.2 
Mercredi 29/08/07 à 10:56 par Firebrand
Cette version non officielle du plug-in graphique Rice Video pour émulateurs Nintendo 64 vient d'être mis à jour en version stable. L'auteur en profite pour modifier sa numérotation de version afin qu'elle soit en continuité avec la version officielle. Voici ce qu'apporte cette version:
I figured now, due to the updates, I think the new release warrants a new version number. This is because I beleive these builds I do are now release-grade and for public use, mainly due to me removing the last few of the bugs that where inherant to my builds. Now, graphics emulation quality is on par to Rice’s last final update, with the addition of the new features I added which are:
- Removed the requirement for BMGLib.
- Has a new registry key deleter
- Has a new installer
- Has a fully complete documentation and I did a lot of tweaking to the source.

So I figured I do a 6.1.2 release, just like how rabiddiety has picked up on NRage’s plugin.

Now then, the updates in this new release are:
- Fixed: near Z errors in SM64, MK64
- Fixed: many other small graphics bugs I forgotten.
- Essentially, graphics quality is now the same as the official plugin, like it should be, so I recommend this plugin now over the official one. Which is why I bumped the version number up to 6.1.2, because I beleive all the new fixes warrant a new release.
- Updated: Registry key remover tool
- Updated: Documentation
- Updated: SSE optimizations are back

 Trois traductions chez Emulation-151 ! 
Lundi 27/08/07 à 03:26 par MrBean
KS-151, alias le traducteur infatigable, nous gratifie de non pas une, mais bien trois nouvelles traductions !

Cette fois, ce n'est pas que Nintendo qui est à l'honneur, puisque la premier patch qu'il nous présente est un jeu sur Sega Master System mettant en vedette un extraterrestre très étrange qui mange des chats. Vous l'aurez deviné, je parle ici de Alf, personnage populaire d'une série télévisée de la fin des années quatre-vingt. Pour cette traduction, je lui ai donné un petit coup de pouce, histoire de me sentir plein de nostalgie...



Ensuite vient un jeu NES pour ceux qui ont l'esprit bagarreur. Un jeu de combat de rue à mains nues bien simplet mais très amusant. J'ai nommé, Urban Champion. Comme il n'y a pas beaucoup de texte dans ce jeu, KS-151 s'est surtout amusé avec les graphismes.



Et finalement, il s'est attaqué a un shoot très sympathique qui pourra vous procurer des heures de plaisir. Malgré les graphismes qui peuvent en faire reculer plus d'un, Volguard II est un jeu sur NES qu'il affectionne particulièrement. C'est pourquoi il en a même profité pour modifier la police d'écriture qui, à mon avis, est très jolie.



Voilà, c'est tout pour aujourd'hui. Vous pouvez télécharger tous ces patchs de traduction sur le site d'Emulation-151 !
