13 March '05 : Finally, after hours of stress and work, the long
awaited Hu-Go! 2.11 final is out !
I didn't want weeks ago another piece of news to talk about the coming
version and prefer the next piece of news to be the real thing.
So here it is, with a large change log but also an annoying bug
concerning sprite glitches which I'll tackle once the 2.11 release will
be completely over (I'll also make some changes to the site, with
online docs for instance, ...).
This version can be downloaded here,
and for windows users, you can grab the setup with ou without gtk+
installer bundled letting you take the light version if you already
have gtk+, or the larger and more practical one in all. Lucky Debian
users can grab the .deb directly, or still use the apt repository (deb http://www.zeograd.com/debian/
unstable main), mandrake users will have rpm ready soon, and
others can compile from the sources with the usual "./configure && make &&
make install".
And now, enjoy the changelog :
- Rewrote manual into smaller manuals, in html and plain text.
- Added zipped rom support for all platforms.
- Added hardware video rendering.
- Cleaned sources, again and again (thanks to splint) (compiles
with gcc up to 3.3).
- Added error message when trying to start a cd and the cd system
rom can't be found.
- Added partial arcade card support (inner memory management
rewritten).
- Added readonly-ness of roms (was writeable until now).
- Removed a bug in DraculaX which was crashing in the intro when
not in -m1 mode
- Added netplay support. The normal binary can be used alone or as
a client, a server binary is also provided.
- Added nice graphical configuration of keyboard and joypads.
- Added support of joypad via SDL under windows.
- Rewrote graphical engine.
- Added support for big endian cpu (Sparc, ...).
- Switched to gtk 2 for graphical toolkit.
- Added support for interacting with the core variable of the
emulation from external processes (can be used to change rom content on
the fly e.g.).
- Changed licence to be considered as free (GPL + mBSD + zlib).
- Fixed a crash when starting any game in the windows port.
- Added support for dumping audio and video. Some samples are
available to make an .avi/.mpg/.whatever from it under un*x.
- Fixed some bugs in DMA handling (including one occuring at the
end of the first stage of gunhed).
- Improved internal I/O handling (handle remanence of unaffected
bit latches).
- Began adding ogg support (untested).
- Fixes sound frequency bug and added stop/start audio subsystem
between the various games to provide instantaneous effects of
configuration changes.
- Added better command line argument support.
- Autodetection of US encoded roms.
- Added signed format support for audio rendering.
