This is only a simulation (cmd are interpreted), not an emulation because we lack informations on the game itself and its driveboard (does it have dedicated cpu/rom ?).
- Real3D PCI ID can be specified in Games.xml for exceptions that require it.
- Real3D status bit timing specified in Games.xml for exceptions that require it.
- New JTAG emulation, moved into its own class, CJTAG
- Removed game-specific sun clamp hacks from CNew3D (JTAG and Real3D emulation will call the appropriate method to configure this at run-time)
- Removed JTAG from Real3D save state data and reused some of that space for new state variables having to do with the internal JTAG-based config as well as new frame timing state variables
- hooked up the remaining controls in Supermodel (except for Magical Truck Adventure which does not work at all yet). The new controls are:
* InputAnalogJoyTrigger2 and InputAnalogJoyEvent2 for the additional second trigger and event buttons that were missing from Star Wars Trilogy,
* InputRearBrake and InputMusicSelect for the rear brake and music selection buttons that were missing from Harley Davidson,
* InputAnalogGunXXX, InputAnalogTriggerXXX, InputAnalogGunXXX2 and InputAnalogTriggerXXX2 for the analogue guns of Ocean Hunter and LA Machineguns (NOTE: these controls must be calibrated in the games' service menus otherwise they will not work properly. Also, the alignment of the gun cursor does not line up very well with the mouse position at the moment, but at least the games are a bit more playable now, although still with numerous graphical glitches...)
* InputSkiXXX for the controls of Ski Champ, making the game playable now.
- hooked up existing InputViewChange control to Harley Davidson's view change button
- improved the handling of InputGearShiftUp/Down inputs so that they work better with the driving games. With Dirt Devils, ECA, Harley and LeMans this means they map directly to the game's own shift up/down controls, while with the 4-speed games such as Daytona 2, Scud Racer and Sega Rally 2, they simulate the user shifting up and down through the gears
- added defaults for the new controls to Supermodel.ini
- other small code tweaks:
* fix small bug with handling of pos/neg inputs mapping to a control with inverted range (0XFF to 0x00) - this was needed to get Ski Champ's X-axis to work properly
* removed Wait method from InputSystem and added to CThread as CThread::Sleep instead
* added FrameTimings struct to hold all frame timings in a single place
No networking code yet as just haven't had a chance to work on it since initial progress at the beginning of the year - am *hoping* might have some time to pick it up again over Christmas...
- Also fixed a small race condition in WakeSoundBoardThread. Previously if it happened to be called just before the sound board thread had finished processing a frame's worth of audio but before it had got around to waiting on the sync condition variable then the wake notification would be lost.
- 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
