- Add HUD display toggle menu (require --enable-hud on configure)
- Reorganize menu items to be more alike the Windows port
- Change fullscreen hotkey to F11
- Change default video filter to None (user can still switch via menu)
- Rewrite fps limiter and frame skipping code.
- Decrease EmuLoop priority to force screen redraw at maximum rate.
- Add menu option for fps limiter.
- Support boost button.
- Force disable Ubuntu's global menu.
- Add new xBRZ family of filters.
Cocoa Port:
- Refactor all display code. OpenGL code is pushed to a lower level and filter code is pushed towards the UI level.
- Add support for the new xBRZ filters.
- The Execution Control panel no longer always appears on app startup.
- Don't completely block output threads when they are set to idle, since we need to assume that messages will be passed to them at any time. It seems like NSRunLoop is smart enough not to unnecessarily wake the CPU on idle, so the thread block was not necessary.
- Fix bug where user settings were not being applied while the emulator was paused. (Regression from r4970.)
- Optimize the emulator idle state to achieve 0% CPU usage. This greatly reduces the app's energy usage when the emulator is idle.
Cocoa Port (OpenEmu Plug-in):
- Remove some dependencies needed to compile the OpenEmu plug-in.
- Add controls for frame advance, frame jump, and display mode toggle.
- Add new execution control panel. (Emulation > Show Execution Control)
- Reorganize several menu items in the Emulation and View menus.
- Do a bunch of optimization and cleanup of the input handler.
- Add support for using analog inputs in their native format.
- The paddle controller now supports native analog control.
- NOTE: Due to the changes in the input handler, users will need to rebind any hatswitch inputs that were previously used. Only hatswitch inputs were affected by these changes.
- Clean up GBA Cartridge device code, and also add the ability to have the SRAM file be on a different file path from the ROM file.
- Force Rumble Pak to turn off rumble upon disconnect.
- Fix file path issue when trying to use a disk image file for an MPCF device.
- The use of the BOOL datatype in a function pointer for front-ends is not as portable as one might think. Switch to using a standard C++ bool datatype instead.
- Add auto-selection to Rumble Pak for Metroid Prime Pinball.
