RetroArch 1.8.9

多平台多機種模擬器 RetroArch 發布新版，更新如下 :

• AUTO SAVESTATES: Ensure save states are correctly flushed to disk when quitting RetroArch (fixes broken save states when exiting RetroArch – without first closing content – with ‘Auto Save State’ enabled)
  BUILTIN CORES: Builtin cores like ffmpeg and imageviewer would previously try to erroneously load a dynamic core named ‘builtin’ – this would fail and would just be a wasteful operation – this now skips dylib loading in libretro_get_system_info for builtin cores
• CHEEVOS: Report API errors when unlocking achievements or submitting leaderboards
• CHEEVOS: Support less common file extensions
• CHEEVOS: Disable hardcore mode when playing BSV file
• CHEEVOS: Correctly report unlocked non-hardcore achievements when hardcore is paused
• CHEEVOS/M3U: Bugfix – did not handle absolute/relative paths in M3U files correctly before
• CHEEVOS/M3U: Bugfix – it didn’t handle comments/directives
• CHEEVOS/M3U: Bugfix – it doesn’t handle trailing whitespace
• CHEEVOS/M3U: Bugfix – failed when loading M3U files with certain line endings
• CORE MANAGEMENT: Add ‘core management’ menu (Settings -> Core)
• CORE MANAGEMENT: Add option to backup/restore installed cores
• CORE MANAGEMENT: Improved core selection logic
• CORE INFO: Search search optimisations
• CORE DOWNLOADER: Rename ‘Core Updater’ to ‘Core Downloader’
• CORE DOWNLOADER: Add ‘Show Experimental Cores’ setting under Settings > Network > Updater
• CORE DOWNLOADER: Core licenses are now shown for all entries in the Core Updater menu
• CORE DOWNLOADER: Pressing RetroPad select on a Core Updater entry will now display any text in the description field of its info file
• CORE DOWNLOADER: Installed cores are now highlighted via a [#] symbol
• CORE DOWNLOADER: Pressing RetroPad start on a selected, installed entry opens the Core Information menu (when using Material UI, swiping left or right triggers the same action). This means we can now view bios info etc. – and more importantly delete cores – without jumping through all the hoops of loading a core first and navigating all over the place
• CORE DOWNLOADER/UPDATER: Add option to automatically backup cores when updating
• DISK CONTROL: Enable ‘Load New Disc’ while disk tray is open
• INPUT: Added a hotkey delay option to allow hotkey input to work properly when it is assigned to another action
• INPUT: Remove ‘All Users Control Menu’ setting, was buggy and will be properly reintroduced after input overhaul
• LINUX: Set default saves/save states/system paths

• MENU/QUICK MENU: Suppress the display of ’empty’ quick menu listings when closing content
• MENU/OZONE: Performance improvements
• MENU/SDL: Add mouse controls
• OPENGL1/VITA: Initial changes for HW context without FBO

• PLAYLISTS/WINDOWS: Fix core path entries in image/video/music history playlists
• PS2: Add back CDFS support
• SDL/GL: Advertise GLSL support
• VIDEO/WIDGETS: Fix heap-use-after-free errors, leading to memory corruption
• VITA: Added custom bubbles support
• VITA: VitaGL update
• VULKAN/WSI: Better frame pacing
• VULKAN/WSI: Fix Intel Mesa being broken when using Fences, we have to use Semaphores to acquire the swapchain or the entire GPU stalls
• VULKAN/WSI: Add support for either using fences or semaphores when syncing
• VULKAN/WSI: Prefer using semaphores for integrated GPUs as it promotes better throughput over fences
• VULKAN/WSI/ANDROID: Do not use mailbox emulation on Android
• UWP/XBOX: Potentially improve performance by enabling ‘Game Mode’

Pugsy's Cheats for MAME 0.221

MAME金手指工具 Pugsy's Cheats 發布新版，更新如下 :

Ok, it's been over a year since the last release, this time around it's simply a massive update. I've been adding cheats fairly silently for the various MAME software lists for a while now, this time I've converted SMS, NES & SNES cheats into XML format. The cheats will need testing, tidying & renaming but that a job for another day (or another lifetime). The raw NES/SNES cheats for conversion were donated by GameHacking.org, a great site and resource - thanks guys (especially rimsky82).
So here is the cheat collection update for the latest MAME (0.221).

Note: The XML/JSON Cheat Collection archives are double packed. Inside the downloaded zip archive you will find a large cheat.7z. It's this cheat.7z that should be placed in the same directory as your MAME execute-able.
Read the cheat.txt file contained in the cheat0221.zip for more information. If you spot any errors (non-working cheats or parsing errors) then please post them in this forum topic .

Cemu 1.19.2c

Wii U模擬器 Cemu 發布新版，更新如下 :

# New in 1.19.2c:

general/NEX: Fixed a bug in the friend service implementation that could lead to the connection being dropped on large packets

GX2: Implemented GX2GetLastFrameGammaA(), GX2GetLastFrameGammaB()
     This prevents a crash in the friend list application

# New in 1.19.2b:

general: Tweaked some UI text in the title manager

OpenGL/Vulkan: Resolved a problem where GX2DrawDone() would not wait for texture readbacks under rare circumstances
               This fixes the picto box mechanics in Wind Waker HD (requires 'Extended texture readback' to be enabled in the game profile)

GX2: GX2GetLastFrame() now always returns a valid frame since some games expect this behavior
     This change allows Game & Wario to progress further

# New in 1.19.2:

general: Added region column to gamelist
general: Added new features to the title manager:
         Button for installing titles (same as the menu entry file -> install)
         Save games can be deleted for individual accounts
         Save games can be transferred from one account to another        

general: Base games can now be installed into mlc01 the same way updates and DLC can be installed
         The original game folder can be deleted after installation
general: The game list will always search mlc01 for installed titles
general: Some background operations will no longer freeze the UI (checking for updates, deleting or fixing titles via the title manager)

OpenGL/Vulkan: Added a safeguard to prevent infinite loops in shaders
               This should improve stability in New Super Mario Bros U / New Super Luigi U

Vulkan: Shaders that fail to compile should no longer cause a crash

AX: Improved robustness of the emulated audio driver
    This should fix the rare audio corruptions that could happen in several games (e.g. Color Splash)
