Now Checkered Flag, Alien + vs Predator and probably others now work as they should (graphically ;-) + [Caz] +* Better GUI support. Most options in the GUI work now, and more are expected + to be functional in the near future. [Shamus] +* Fixed a few more lingering blitter bugs (there are more to be found). This + fixes most of the glitches in Cybermorph and Alien vs Predator. [Shamus] +* Fixed an Object Processor scaled bitmap bug that caused incorrect + positioning of scaled bitmaps that started outside the line buffer, and + also fixed a problem that caused the OP to hang in certain situations. This + fixes Bubsy, International Sensible Soccer, and probably a few others. + [Shamus] + + +Virtual Jaguar v1.0.6 GCC/SDL +----------------------------- + + +* Added support for gzipped ROM files. [Adam Green] +* Added OpenGL support. Because of this, aspect ratios in the various + graphic modes should be correct now. Thanks goes to Niels for enlightenment + in this area. :-) [Shamus] +* Moved all platform specific video code to video.cpp. This should make it + easier to add functionality to the video subsystem without having to chase + code around in places where it didn't belong. [Shamus] +* Key bindings are now customizable. [Shamus] +* VJ now uses a config file (vj.cfg) for commonly used settings. Settings in + the config file can still be overridden by command line switches. [Shamus] +* Preliminary GUI mouse support. [Shamus] +* Fixed an off-by-one bug in the Object Processor when dealing with scaled + bitmap objects. [Shamus] +* Fully virtualized screen size. What this means is that we can keep the + Jagaur screen displayed in a convenient size (320 x 240) and the graphics + that various ROMs display will now be properly centered (more or less, they + were really centered for a TV display). [Shamus] +* Border color is now displayed properly. [Shamus] +* Fully pipelined DSP core. Because of this, Wolfenstein 3D now has sound. To + use the old core, use the -nopipeline switch. [Shamus] + + +Virtual Jaguar v1.0.5 GCC/SDL +----------------------------- + +* Various fixes to the codebase so that it compiles and works properly on + Linux. :-) The makefiles are almost identical now, the only thing that's + different between them are the SYSTYPE and EXESUFFIX variables defined at + the top. [Shamus] +* Fixed a pernicious blitter bug that kept Rayman from doing proper collision + detection. [Shamus] +* Added a simple file selector so that typing in long filenames in order to + run the emulator is no longer necessary. :-) To use it, instead of + supplying a ROM name, simple put in the name of the directory where your + ROMs live. [Shamus] +* Removed all the assembly language code from the DSP, so it should be a + little less buggy now. Also, removed some brain-dead timeslice releasing + that was causing a bunch of problems with various ROMs. [Shamus] +* Added sound support! In order to hear any sound, you probably have to + start VJ with the -dspon switch. Also, unless you have a very fast computer + the sound is going to be choppy. Hopefully future optimizations will cure + this. ;-) [Shamus] +* Added GUI support. You can see the results by hitting the TAB key while the + emulator is running. ;-) [Shamus] +* Lots of cleanups to the source code including the ability to trace who + writes what to where.
