Here's whatsnew: - Ports: - Preliminary MacOSX port. [Proppy] Compile and run under a x86-based MacOSX system. Missing sound (due to Seal) and debugger (unknown problem to resolve). Looking for someone who wish to improve and maintain this port. - Blitter/Video: - Fixed HQ2X stretched blitter when target output was not 16-bits. [Omar] - Fixed TV Mode blitters broken since since switching to hi-color. Implementation is slower than previously, but it works well. [Omar] - Removed obsolete "scanlines" blitter, in favor of "tvmode". [Omar] - Stretching works on all blitters. [Omar] - Video depth, Vsync, Triple Buffering and Page flipping are now global video settings, removed from each specific blitter. Greatly simplify configuration and tweaking. [Omar] - Triple buffering doesn't interfere with the refresh is not supported by the current settings (eg: windowed mode), making it safe and more simple to always leave it enabled. [Omar] - CPU: - Z80: Fixed RETI behavior (same as RETN, copying IFF2 to IFF1). Fixes pausing in SMS Robocop 3 during legal screens/introduction, probably other infrequent cases. [FluBBa, Omar] - Z80: Accepting NMI doesn't copy IFF1 over IFF2, as suggested by Sean Young's "The Undocumented Z80 Documented". [Omar] - ColecoVision: - Fixed emulation of pending NMI, pending flag is cleared when reading VDP status. Fixes "Rock 'N Bolt" among other. Thanks to the anonymous poster on SMS Power! forums. [Omar] - Note that the compatibility list for ColecoVision titles is severly outdated. At some point, James Carter worked on a new, more accurate list, but I lost all contact with him. - NES: - Fixed video rendering, broken when switching to hi-color modes. [Omar] - Added PRAM support in Memory Editor. [Omar] - Added 8 palette switching in Tile Viewer. [Omar] - Note: NES emulation is humor legacy code and won't be supported. - GUI: - Sorted default themes, removed non Sega 8-bit related themes. - Now embedding background pictures in regular binary distribution. - CALL FOR NEW OR IMPROVED THEMES SUBMISSION!
