Adding 2.1.4 press release file, unfinished (since we aren't done) but since the changelog is so large I thought I would go ahead and take care of some of that ahead of time.

<h1>FCEUX 2.1.4 Release</h1>
|
||||||
|
xx June 2010
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
The 2.1.4 release that fixes some many bugs and adds new features compared to 2.1.3. In addition it also fixes up the movie code significantly;
|
||||||
|
fixing implementation problems, loading speed, adding new features, and fixing
|
||||||
|
bugs.
|
||||||
|

<h2>Common</h2>
|
||||||
|
Added microphone support option. When enabled, Port 2 Start activates the Microphone<br>
|
||||||
|
Prevent .zip files containing no recognized files from causing crash<br>
|
||||||
|
Autohold - Added player 3 and 4 to autohold notification window, labeled controller input<br>
|
||||||
|
mapper 19 savestate fix mirroring for "Dream Master (J)" corrected to "four-screen" by CRC check<br>
|
||||||
|
Disable auto-savestates during turbo
|
||||||
|
<h3>Movies</h3>
|
||||||
|
Fully implemented "bulletproof" read-only<br>
|
||||||
|
Fixed a potential desync that plays out an extra frame without an update to the frame count involving heavy lua use, joypad.get, and a loadstate.<br>
|
||||||
|
Movie support for microphone<br>
|
||||||
|
Movies now have a "finished" mode. If a playback stops the movie isn't cleared from memory, and can be replayed or a state loaded. Similar functionality as DeSmuME and GENS rerecording<br>
|
||||||
|
New PPU flag in movie headers (doesn't change an emulators PPU state when loading a movie)<br>
|
||||||
|
Much faster movie loading and movie-savestate loading<br>
|
||||||
|
Made gamepad 2 off by default (so less movies should have unused player 2 data)<br>
|
||||||
|
Implemented a "full savestate-movie load" mode similar to the implementation in VBA-rr and SNES9x-rr. In this mode loading a savestate in read+write doesn't truncate the movie to its frame count immediately. Instead it waits until input is recording into the movie (next frame). For win32 this feature is togglable in movie options and the context menu. For SDL this is off by default and a toggle will need to be added<br>
|
||||||
|
Movie + loadstate errors are handled more gracefully now, with more informative error messages and the movie doesn't have to stop if backups are enabled<br>
|
||||||
|
Fix PlayMovieFromBeginning when using a movie that starts from savestate<br>
|
||||||
|

|
<li>emu.addgamegenie()</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>emu.delgamegenie()</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>savestate.object() which is savestate.create() with intuitive numbering under windows</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>gui.getpixel() which gets any gui.pixel() set pixel colors, and possibly other functions</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>emu.getscreenpixel() which gets the RGB and Palette of any pixel on the screen</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>lua function movie.getfilename() which returns the current movie filename without the path included</li>

||||||

Replay dialog shows PAL flag and New PPU flags<br>
|
||||||
|
CDLogger - fixed bug preventing correct interrupt vectors from logging <br>
|
||||||
|
Memwatch - ignore spaces at the beginnign of an address in the address boxes<br>
|
||||||
|

|
||||||

<h3>Debugger</h3>
|
||||||
|
Added conditional debugging option 'K', for bank PC is on<br>
|
||||||

||||||

Drag & Drop - if dropping a .fcm with no ROM loaded, prompt for one (same functionality that was added to .fm2 files)<br>
