<p>fix crash bug on .fcm convert</p>
<p>fix erroneous reporting of savestate past the end of movie error during read-only loadstates</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>Released 31 May 2010</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><span class="rvts22">The 2.1.4 release fixes 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. </span></p>
<p><span class="rvts22"><br/></span></p>
<p><span class="rvts23">Common </span></p>
<ul style="text-indent: 0px; margin-left: 24px; list-style-position: outside;">
<li><span class="rvts22">Added microphone support option. When enabled, Port 2 Start activates the Microphone</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">Prevent .zip files containing no recognized files from causing crash</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">Autohold - Added player 3 and 4 to autohold notification window, labeled controller input</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">mapper 19 savestate fix mirroring for "Dream Master (J)" corrected to "four-screen" by CRC check</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">Disable auto-savestates during turbo </span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">Fixed so Gotcha! auto-enables the zapper</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">Autohold - Added player 3 and 4 to autohold notification window, labeled controller input</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="rvts24"><br/></span></p>
<p><span class="rvts24">Movies</span></p>
<p><span class="rvts22"><br/></span></p>
<ul style="text-indent: 0px; margin-left: 24px; list-style-position: outside;">
<li><span class="rvts22">Fully implemented "bulletproof" read-only</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">Movie code now fully conforms to the Savestate section of the Laws of TAS</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">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</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">Movie support for microphone</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">Movies now have a "finished" mode. &nbsp;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</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">New PPU flag in movie headers (doesn't change an emulators PPU state when loading a movie)</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">Much faster movie loading and movie-savestate loading</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">Made gamepad 2 off by default (so less movies should have unused player 2 data)</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">Implemented a "full savestate-movie load" mode similar to the implementation in VBA-rr and SNES9x-rr. &nbsp;In this mode loading a savestate in read+write doesn't truncate the movie to its frame count immediately. &nbsp;Instead it waits until input is recording into the movie (next frame). &nbsp;For win32 this feature is togglable in movie options and the context menu. &nbsp;For SDL this is off by default and a toggle will need to be added</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">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</span></li>
<li><span class="rvts22">Fix PlayMovieFromBeginning when using a movie that starts from savestate</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="rvts22"><br/></span></p>
