- Added an extra blank line after info display in CModel3.
- Cleaned up comments in Main.cpp.
- More document updates. Fixed '-no-music'->'-no-dsb', 'EmulateMusic'->'EmulateDSB'.
- 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.
- corrected axis identification code as was not enumerating axes properly in all cases
- added fallback which just adds all axes if there is any hint of an irregularity whilst enumerating axes
- Joystick axis saturation values can now range from 1-200 rather than just 1-100. This lets the user make axis less sensitive, if required.
- Added joystick axes calibration menus to -config-inputs.
- Moved DirectInput & XInput feedback settings out of CDirectInputSystem and into COSDConfig (so that they can be configured per-game).
- DirectInput mode now only grabs background access to keyboard, mice and joystick when configuring inputs, otherwise it only grabs foreground access.
Other changes:
- Main.cpp now ensures all Model3 threads are paused before shutting down.
- 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.
- audio buffer is now kept as full as possible with new audio buffering method rather than just half full like before (this is okay now that buffer overruns have been eliminated)
- altered minimum size of audio buffer so that audio still works with a zero latency setting (obviously there will still be some latency)
- Added volume controls to UI.
- Renamed "Sega Rally Controls" to "Sega Rally/Dirt Devils Controls" (even though Dirt Devils has no hand brake).
- Hooked up gear shifting and view change for Dirt Devils.
- Removed debug printf()'s from DSB.cpp.
- Removed debug printf() from Real3D.cpp.
- Disabled assertions in SCSPDSP.cpp.
- Converted all error messages in Amp library to Supermodel format.
- Added parameters for DirectInput and XInput force feedback effects (although still need to add code to persist them in configuration file)
- Added extra friction feedback effect and tidied up existing effects
- Fixed an MPEG related crash when loading save states. If usingLoopStart is 0, it is important not to call MPEG_SetLoop()!
- -input-system is working again.
- Changed the format of some messages here and there.
- 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.
