[Shamus] +* Added some more developer goodies to Alpine mode. [Shamus] +* Re-added command line switches. [Shamus] +* Moved JERRY into host audio IRQ. This should make sound much smoother, though + it may run ahead of the rest of the emulator. [Shamus] +* Kludged a fix into the audio handler to set the correct frequency for audio + playback. Note that there could still be problems with this approach, as it + can be easily fooled. Thanks to Dr. Typo for the initial analysis and insight + into this bug. :-) [Shamus] +* Preliminary fixes for proper emulation of memory reads between $200000 and + $800000.

[Shamus] +* Cosmetic GUI fixes. [Shamus] +* Switched to UAE 68000 CPU core. [Shamus] +* Fixed some RISC STORE and LOAD alignment issues. Still need to verify against + real hardware. [Shamus] +* Fixed video frame timing for both NTSC *and* PAL. [Shamus] +* Improved OP logging, added emulation of OP bug. [Shamus] +* Fixed addressing bug with UAE 68000 core. [Shamus] + + +Virtual Jaguar v2.0.1 GCC/Qt +---------------------------- + +* Fixed NTSC timings; they were hardwired to PAL rates.

[Shamus] + + +Virtual Jaguar v2.0.0 GCC/Qt +---------------------------- + +* Switched GUI to Qt. And there was much rejoicing. ;-) [Shamus] +* Added detection code to fish out files from inside ZIP archives.

This is not only how a real Jaguar + renders graphics, but it also gives VJ a nice speed boost. ;-) [Shamus] +* Changed execution to a time-based solution so that timers and IRQs and + such can happen when they're supposed to.
