this explains why, for instance, CPU was not replying to player's moves in sshogi3 :-)
updating the slot options and thanks to recent progresses, 3 igo games and 3 shougi
ones passed from black screen to fully playable... nw.
cassette. wav files supported only. [Fabio Priuli]
(MESS) Added software list for BASIC programs saved to tape [Anna Wu, UglyJoe, Fabio Priuli]
If anyone has more Family BASIC tapes or other cassettes for Famicom games or add-ons (e.g. Bandai Karaoke or Fukutake Study Box)
or for some chinese clones (ABM, or Bridge, or any other), please contact us.
original protected versions of some already emulated games. thanks to Cah4e3
Azathoth, magicrip and the Russian crew for the dumps and to EkeEke for the
info on Tekken Special (the only one using a new protection scheme). nw.
also, I've hacked up the rom region and cart loading for vsmile so that some dumps start to show stuff,
and TeamEurope can use MESS too for basic testing of the dumps...
devs who know more about this cpu are welcome to work on it, because I can't do much more than this :-)
on-cart flash ram devices from main gba now that they can be properly
implemented on carts which have them [Fabio Priuli]
The main difference for end users is that games using flash ram for saves won't save
anymore progresses in a nvram/game_name.nv file but in a file inside nvram/game_name/
folder. Many thanks to Micko for his recent changes to nvram devices which allowed to
still save these data per-game!
card dumps with the correct interface. nw.
this in particular means that the dozen of Jpn games which were only released in MyCard format
can now be loaded only with the -card switch (from softlist)
when loading from softlist. [Fabio Priuli]
from fullpath it still allocates 32k for every game, and if the game enables RAM the content is saved at exit.
- Converted cart handling and mappers to use slot devices
- Simplified bios and cart bankswitch mechanism
- Added save state support to both systems
- Removed on-cart EEPROM from main gamegear now that
it can be properly implemented on carts which have it
- Made LCD persistence hack optional (ON by default, it can
be turned OFF from Driver Configuration submenu)
- Reduced tagmap lookups all across the driver
