Changelog:
- GBA: lots of emulation improvements
- PPU PRAM is 16-bits wide
- DMA masks &~1/Half, &~3/Word
- VRAM OBJ 8-bit writes are ignored
- OAM 8-bit writes are ignored
- BGnCNT unused bits are writable*
- BG(0,1)CNT can't set the d13
- BLDALPHA is readable (fixes Donkey Kong Country, etc)
- SNES: lots of code cleanups
- sfc/chip => sfc/coprocessor
- UI: save most recent controller selection
GBA test scores: 1552/1552, 37/38, 1020/1260
(* forgot to add the value to the read function, so endrift's I/O tests
for them will fail. Fixed locally.)
Note: SNES is the only system with multiple controller/expansion port
options, and as such is the only one with a "None" option. Because it's
shared by the controller and expansion port, it ends up sorted first in
the list. This means that on your first run, you'll need to go to Super
Famicom->Controller Port 1 and select "Gamepad", otherwise input won't
work.
Also note that changing the expansion port device requires loading a new
cart. Unlike controllers, you aren't meant to hotplug expansion port
devices.
Changelog:
- S-SMP core code style updated
- S-SMP loads reset vector from IPLROM ($fffe-ffff)
- sfc/base => sfc/expansion
- system/input => system/device
- added expansion/eBoot (simulation of defparam's SNES-Boot device)
- expansion port device can now be selected from Super Famicom menu
option
- improved GBA MROM/SRAM reading
endrift's memory test is up to 1388/1552.
Note: I added the expansion port devices to the same group as controller
ports. I also had to move "None" to the top of the list. Before v096,
I am going to have to add caching of port selections to the
configuration file, check the proper default item in the system menu,
and remove the items with no mappings from the input configuration
window. Lots of work >_>

Changelog:
- added Cocoa target: higan can now be compiled for OS X Lion
[Cydrak, byuu]
- SNES/accuracy profile hires color blending improvements - fixes
Marvelous text [AWJ]
- fixed a slight bug in SNES/SA-1 VBR support caused by a typo
- added support for multi-pass shaders that can load external textures
(requires OpenGL 3.2+)
- added game library path (used by ananke->Import Game) to
Settings->Advanced
- system profiles, shaders and cheats database can be stored in "all
users" shared folders now (eg /usr/share on Linux)
- all configuration files are in BML format now, instead of XML (much
easier to read and edit this way)
- main window supports drag-and-drop of game folders (but not game files
/ ZIP archives)
- audio buffer clears when entering a modal loop on Windows (prevents
audio repetition with DirectSound driver)
- a substantial amount of code clean-up (probably the biggest
refactoring to date)
One highly desired target for this release was to default to the optimal
drivers instead of the safest drivers, but because AMD drivers don't
seem to like my OpenGL 3.2 driver, I've decided to postpone that. AMD
has too big a market share. Hopefully with v093 officially released, we
can get some public input on what AMD doesn't like.
