- 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.
- 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 object interface CThread for OSD threading and synchronization, together with SDL implementation
- Added multi-threading to CModel3 so that separate CPUs (PPC of main board, 68K of sound board and Z80 of drive board) can be run in separate threads if requested to improve performance on multi-core PCs
- Added -multi-threaded command line option (default is to run single-threaded still)
- 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.
- Fixed bug with mapping of multiple assignments.
- Added new ! operator for input mappings, which lets the user specify that an input must not be active.
- Added option to print info about input system (such as settings and detected keyboards, mice and joysticks) during input configuration.
- Added new trigger input for lightgun games with a configurable option to automatically pull trigger when offscreen input is activated (this makes playing with the mouse easier as the gun can be reloaded with single mouse button, rather than having to press both
buttons at the same time).
- Added -xinput command line option that switches to using XInput API rather than DirectInput for XBox 360 controllers (this allows the XBox 360 controller's two triggers to be read independently which works better for driving games when they are mapped to accele
rator and brake).
- Added initial version of force feedback implementation to DirectInputSystem (this still needs work).
