- When doing the depth buffer calculation, clamp the depth value to GL_DEPTH_RANGE {0.0, 1.0} in the fragment shader itself. Fixes 3D rendering on older drivers that won’t do the clamp for you. (Regression from r5133.)
- Revert depth buffer calculation change in r5133 for the z-buffer mode. Keep the w-buffer mode change, since that’s the one that works. Fixes the buttons in Blazer Drive. (Regression from r5133.)
- Fix texture coloring bugs with 4x4 compressed textures on big-endian systems. (This should be the last of the texture coloring bugs.)
- Do small optimization to 4x4 compressed texture conversion.
- Do some minor code cleanup.
- Fix bug when using dual display mode with a screen separation where the displays could mistakenly draw ghost lines at the top or bottom of each screen. (Partially addresses bug #1435.)
- Fix compiling when using Xcode 3.
- Don’t set the output frame size with multiple glViewport() calls per frame. Just set it once for the output.
- Do some minor code cleanup.
- Fix bug where the user can force activate the mic while the emulator is idle by manipulating its mute control.
- Fix bug where the mic icon remains black if the emulator resets while in execute.
- Further optimize mic icon updates.
- Fix crashing bug where the app would crash if the SaveRam path is invalid or does not allow for read/write access. (Fixes bugs #1394 and #1426.)
- New behavior: If the SaveRam path is invalid or does not allow for read/write access, warn the user. After the warning, continue emulation as normal.
mc.cpp:
- Allow backup memory to operate inside RAM if read/write file access is unavailable.
- Update UI tooltips to reflect current knowledge of DeSmuME’s behavior.
- Move the 3D Rendering Settings tab in DeSmuME Preferences from Display to Emulation.
- Fix bug where the mic level value wasn’t being displayed correctly on OS X v10.5 Leopard.
- Remember the sound output volume setting between app launches.
- Add the Microphone Settings panel for easier control and more verbose info. The new panel also allows the user to change and monitor mic settings without needing a display window's status bar.
- Implement a more proper mic level UI that reports the level per frame instead of per sample. This should improve UI performance.
- Make all methods in the CocoaDSControllerDelegate protocol optional and remove all related protocol methods from the OpenEmu plug-in.
- Try attaching a new hardware input device on startup.
- Remove debug printf stuff when attaching a new hardware input device. The new Microphone Settings panel makes the extra printf stuff unnecessary.
- Remember the hardware mic mute setting between app launches.
- Fix some UI bugs with mic level checks where the mic status icon wasn't showing the correct color under certain conditions.
- Fix UI bug where the mic mute control wasn't being respected under certain conditions.
- The mic status icon now includes a tooltip that reports the name and sample rate of the current input device.
- Handle mic hardware state changes more gracefully when the input device is changed externally.
- Add full support for using hardware microphones on the host machine for emulating the NDS microphone. Finally, mic driven games, such as Nintendogs, are fully playable on the Mac!
- Display windows no longer include an output volume slider directly in the status bar. Instead, the slider has been moved inside a popup button, which now behaves just like OS X's volume menu. This was done for better space efficiency.
- Display windows now include a microphone icon alongside the output volume icon. Like the output volume, there is a slider control to adjust microphone gain and also a mute control.
- The microphone icon changes color depending the microphone's state (as seen by the NDS, not the host).
- Replace the existing microphone icon with one that looks better and is more modern.
- Adjust the size of the output volume icon from 20x20 pixels to 16x16 pixels.
- Fix yet another font rendering bug in the Input Profile viewer on OS X Yosemite.
- Completely revamp the ROM Info panel to have a more modern and mainstream look and feel.
- The ROM Info panel can now be resized and scrolled through.
- Each individual info section in the ROM Info panel can now be expanded or collapsed.
- Fix bugs where the ROM capacity and ROM used capacity info weren't being calculated correctly.
- Do a bunch of random UI text clipping fixes when running on OS X Yosemite.
- Do a major revamp of the File Migration Assistant. It has been renamed "Game Data Migration Assistant". All following notes will pertain to the new Game Data Migration Assistant.
- Files no longer appear in a single list. They are now organized by app version and file type.
- Users can now select multiple files at once by clicking the checkbox of their corresponding app version or file type.
- File selection is much smarter. If the same file exists in multiple versions, then if the user selects one version of a file, all other versions of that same file are automatically deselected. This also works in multiple selection cases.
- Remove the Select All and Select None buttons. With the smarter selection UI, these buttons are no longer necessary.
- Provide better user feedback when no files need to be migrated.
- Rework the outline view to be more space efficient.
- Fix bug where switching between CPU-based and GPU-based filters in the DeSmuME Preferences display preview would sometimes fail.
- Fix bug where the DeSmuME Preferences display preview would show incorrect colors when using a CPU-based filter on PowerPC Macs.
Video Filters:
- Fix bug where the Scanline filter would show incorrect colors on big-endian systems.
- Fix some compiling issues if the C++ standard library is set to libc++ w/ C++11 support instead of libstdc++.
- Fix some compiling issues if compiling on OS X Leopard w/ Xcode 3.1.4.
- Fix the behavior of the Display Preferences filter preview.
- Fix an intermittent crash that sometimes occurs when creating a new display window.
- Fix a rare and mysterious crashing bug that sometimes occurs when initializing the HQ4x LUT.
- Fix a longstanding bug where audio frames were accidentally getting dropped when using N-sync and Z-sync methods. Greatly improves the audio quality of the N-sync method.
- Now that N-sync actually works as intended, it is now the default sync method. (N-sync has much better latency compared to the other sync methods, especially compared to P-sync, which was the previous default.)
- Update sync method tooltips to better reflect their actual behavior.
- Fix UI bug where the Advanced SPU Logic control text would get truncated on OS X Yosemite.
