- Reverted Nik's polygon palette index change in Models.cpp. Subtracting 1 was breaking Scud Race.
- Added an explicit typecast in Inputs.cpp, which GCC requires for some reason.
- Added 'crosshairs' command line and config option.
- Added 'vsync' command line and config option (so far only tested on NVidia cards on Windows 7 - other graphics drivers, O/Ss or driver settings may simply chose to ignore this).
- Added fullscreen toggle within game using Alt+Enter key combination.
- Added framework for lamp outputs and 'outputs' command line and config option. So far only the lamps for driving games are hooked up in the emulator (others to be added later).
- Added an initial outputs implementation for Windows that sends MAMEHooker compatible messages (-outputs=win to enable)
- Fixed fps calculation in Main.cpp that was producing incorrect results and so giving the impression that frame throttling wasn't working properly when in fact it was.
- Fixed palette indexed colours as the index was always off by one, causing incorrect colours in various games, eg drivers' suits and flashing Start sign in Daytona 2.
- Altered caching of models so that models with palette indexed colours use the dynamic cache rather than the static one. This is so that changes in palette indexed colours appear on screen, eg the flashing Start sign on the advanced course of Daytona 2 (although currently the START message itself is not visible due to other problems with texture decoding).
- Fixed small bug in TileGen.cpp which meant both palettes were being completely recomputed pretty much with every frame. This was a significant performance hit, particularly as palette recomputation is currently being done in SyncSnapshots (it should be moved out of here at some point, although for now it's no big deal).
- Made sure all OpenGL objects and resources are deleted in Render2D/3D destructors, in particular the deleting of the VBO buffer in DestroyModelCache.
- Made sure that GLSL uniforms are always checked to see if they are bound before using them in order to stop unecessary (but harmless) GL errors.
- Altered the default texture sheet handling to use a single large GL texture holding multiple Model3 texture sheets rather than multiple GL textures as before (if required, the old behaviour can still be selected with the mulisheet fragment shader). I believe this fixes the disappearing crosshairs/corrupt GL state problem which the multisheet fragment shader seemed to be triggering somehow.
- Fixed a bug in debugger which meant memory watches were not triggering properly
To achieve this UploadTextures no longer clears the model cache when called. Instead the cache is kept in-tact (which should help improve cache hits) and all textures referenced by models being rendered are (re-)decoded with every frame.
To help with tracking all the unique texture references contained in a model a new class TextureRefs has been added.
- Wrapped rows that exceed 80 columns in Supermodel.ini.
- Added some member and function comments to a few header files.
- Changed version string to 0.2a-RC2 in anticipation of sending another release candidate build to testers.
- Added GAME_INPUT_RALLY flag to dirtdvlsa, eca, and ecax.
- Configuration dialog no longer refers to Sega Rally 2 and Dirt Devils; instead, "Miscellaneous Driving Game Buttons"
- More additions to README.txt.
- Changed gear shifting behavior: neutral gear has its own button now.
- Removed SUPERMODEL_SOUND.
- DirectInput is the default input system for Windows now.
- Multi-threading is on by default, replaced -multi-threaded w/ -no-threads.
- Made crosshairs larger and more visible.
- Added Nik to co-author list and began updating file copyright notices.
- Fixed Virtua Striker 2 input names (player 2 inputs end with the number 2 instead of 1).
- Added documentation to a Docs/ subdirectory.
- Exported all default input configurations to Supermodel.ini and added that to the repository. Internally, Supermodel initializes all controls to "NONE" now.
- Moved Logger.h to OSD/, cleaned up comments.
- Command line and config file parsing have been rewritten.
- Began replacing C standard library headers with C++ versions (eg. stdio.h -> cstdio). I think I got most of them, but not all.
- CSoundBoard is not derived from CBus.
- Optimized sound board memory handlers (now using switch statements).
- Added DSB emulation (based on R. Belmont's M1 source code).
- Improved ROM loading: only unique ROMs (those not shared amongst games) are used to identify games. The ROM loader will no longer get confused as easily.
- General cleanup here and there, removed unused Render.h file.
- Added a 68K interface, CPU/68K/M68K.*.
- Moved Turbo68K source files to CPU/68K/Turbo68K. It is no longer used but is being retained in the source tree for now. The LSR instruction has not been fixed in this update.
- Changed sound board code to use the new 68K interface (and hence, Musashi).
- Changed version string from 0.2-WIP to 0.2a-WIP. This is still an alpha version.
- Above changes have broken the 68K debugger.
