SameBoy 0.14.3

 GBC模擬器 SameBoy 發布新版，更新如下 :

New/Improved Features

• GBS APIs available in the core
• Built-in GBS player in the Cocoa frontend

DOSBox-X 0.83.13 [ BETA ] (2021-04-15)

 DOS模擬器 DOSBox-X 發布新版，更新如下 :

• Mac OS X builds will prompt the user to select a
  folder at startup if run from the Finder (or from
  the root directory). The folder selected will then
  become the current working directory of DOSBox-X.
  This makes it possible to start DOSBox-X with a
  config file of your choice and to control where
  the capture, save states and other files go.
• Fixed Tseng ET4000 640x480 256-color SVGA mode
  when using the ET4000.BIN VGA BIOS, or Windows 98.
• Added segment limit checks in Normal core for
  MOVSB/MOVSW/MOVSD and STOSB/STOSW/STOSD, which is
  needed for DOSBox-X to work with the Windows 3.1
  S3 86C928 display drivers that use segment limit
  exceptions to fake a linear framebuffer.
• Added S3 XGA "byte swap" emulation, needed for
  correct menu/titlebar display in Windows 3.1 when
  using the S3 86C928 driver.
• Added YUV (YUY2) overlay to S3 Trio64V+ card
  emulation. Tested with XingMPEG under Windows 3.1
  and ActiveMovie under Windows 98.
• Added machine types for 5 different variations of
  S3 chipset: Vision864, Vision868, Trio32, Trio64,
  and (experimental) Trio64V+, ViRGE, ViRGE/VX, and
  S3 86C928.
• Removed second PCI BAR for S3 MMIO register space.
  S3 datasheets do not show a second BAR. Windows 95
  is perfectly happy without it.
• S3 SVGA XGA emulation BlitRect now supports
  COLOR_CMP. DirectX-based Windows 95 games are now
  able to blit in 256-color mode with a transparent
  color key value.
• ANSI.SYS emulaion now supports the "Device Status
  Report" escape when asked through code 6 (report
  cursor position)
• Fixed RAM mapping bugs related to MDA/CGA/Hercules
  emulation and the "allow more than 640kb" option,
  that failed to map RAM as expected, and because of
  that, easily triggered a "corrupt MCB chain" error
  message.
• Worked around the mounting issue for disk or CD
  image files with LaunchBox, by allowing a mounting
  command-line with single quotes like IMGMOUNT D
  'X:\FILES\DOS.IMG' on Windows systems. (Wengier)
• Restored Pentium MMX emulation code for the dynamic
  x86 core to that of version 0.83.11 for better
  compatibility with some Windows 9x games. (Wengier)
• Added "compresssaveparts" config option (in the
  [dosbox] section) which when set to false will not
  compress the components in saved states. (Wengier)
• When the current reported DOS version is less than
  7.x and the user tries to mount a LBA or FAT32 disk
  image, DOSBox-X will now show a message to ask if
  the user wants it to set the required DOS version
  automatically and proceed. (Wengier)
• DOSBox-X will now show the folder mounted after
  mounting to a drive from the menu. (Wengier)
• Fixed MOUNT and IMGMOUNT commands unable to mount
  directories or image files that contain non-ASCII
  characters in the code page on Windows. (Wengier)
• Fixed the cycle information on the title bar when
  the Turbo mode is enabled. (Wengier)
• Fixed that some games using the DOS4GW Extender
  may not work due to swap file issue. (Wengier)
• Fixed that the clipboard copy and paste may not
  work when the current code page is 808 or 872
  and you are using Windows. (Wengier)
• The command "MIXER /LISTMIDI" now lists the ROM
  directory/files and sound fonts for MT32, Synth
  and FluidSynth MIDI device when active. (Wengier)
• Debugger "DOS XMS" command will only list handles
  that are allocated, or with nonzero address or
  nonzero size, to avoid showing irrelevant
  information. (joncampbell123)
• Added LOADFIX -EMS option to allocate/free
  EMS (expanded memory). (joncampbell123)
• LOADFIX -D -XMS will free all XMS blocks
  allocated by LOADFIX -XMS. (joncampbell123)
• LOADFIX -A will not allocate memory unless there
  is memory below 64KB to fill. (joncampbell123)
• INT 15h PS/2 mouse functions now clear pending
  PS/2 mouse interrupt as part of the BIOS call.
  This should resolve unresponsive mouse issues
  with Windows 3.1. (joncampbell123)
• Add config option "mt32.model" in the [midi]
  section to force a MT-32 model to use. (Wengier)
• Updated the MUNT MT-32 library to the latest
  version 2.5.0. (Wengier)
• Updated FLAC decoder library to the latest version
  (0.12.29 by David Reid). (Wengier)

Mednafen 1.27.0-UNSTABLE

 多機種模擬器 Mednafen 發布新版，更新如下 :

• Added support for 16bpp graphics output to the majority of emulation modules(excluding "pce", "pcfx", "psx", "snes", "ss", and "vb"). Using this support with OpenGL can be done by setting the video.glformat setting appropriately, which *may* result in a small performance boost on scary dinosaur toasters and underpowered ARM SBCs.
• Rewrote the save state preview image resizing code, such that it no longer makes Saturn mesh transparency look horrendous.
• Dropped usage of and dependency on libsndfile, and added a direct dependency on libFLAC. The only CD image audio file formats/encodings other than raw supported now are: FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, Musepack, and uncompressed PCM in AIFF/AIFC, AU/SND, W64, and WAV.
• Each Mednafen data directory created on startup will now be based on the current value of the corresponding filesys.path_* setting, rather than the default value, except when the current value of the corresponding filesys.fname_* setting is different from its default, in which case the directory will not be created at all.
• Added manual physical game controller hotplugging support, by pressing SHIFT+F3 to rescan and reinitialize the controllers.
• Changed netplay/cheat console key combos for navigating to the beginning and end of the scrollback buffer to CTRL+Home and CTRL+End, respectively(previously SHIFT+Home and SHIFT+End).
• Added netplay/cheat console key combos CTRL+Backspace and CTRL+Delete for quickly clearing the prompt text entry buffer.
• PS1: Fixed hangs at different points in some versions of "Tomb Raider", a problem initially fixed in 0.9.38.3, but regressed in 1.22.0-UNSTABLE.
• PS1: Fixed missing FMV audio in "Blue's Clues: Blue's Big Musical".
• SNES-Faust: Fixed hangs in "Derby Stallion 96", "Hakunetsu Pro Yakyuu: Ganba League", "Ihatov Monogatari", "Kentou Ou World Champion", "Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei", "Sound Novel Tsukuru", "Super Professional Baseball II", "Yuujin Janjuu Gakuen 2", and "Yuuyu no Quiz de Go! Go!".
• SNES-Faust: Fixed missing sound in "Shougi Club".
• SNES-Faust: Fixed saving in "Light Fantasy", "PGA Tour Golf", and "Ys III".
• SS: Fixed major audio problems in "Lunar" during boss battles, due to the sound CPU crashing inaccurately during game bootup and corrupting SCSP DSP registers. Note that this fix will not affect existing save states made within the game.
