3.6.1 to 3.7: (June 1, 2012)
17
* Added Blargg TV effects, with presets for Composite, S-video, RGB,
18
and badly adjusted TV, and well as a custom mode with full
19
configurability of contrast, brightness, gamma, etc. Many
20
keyboard shortcuts and commandline arguments were added to support
21
this; see the documentation for a detailed explanation. These
22
effects are OpenGL-only. Special thanks to Ian Bogost and the
23
Georgia Tech Atari Team for the preliminary implementation.
25
* Updated the CompuMate keyboard handler to recognize more keys on an
26
actual keyboard, instead of having to remember the weird combinations
27
used on the original CompuMate keyboard (although those original keys
28
will continue to work). Related to this, fixed bug whereby
29
'ghost keys' would be detected by the CompuMate, particularly after
30
pressing 'Enter' to start a game from the ROM launcher.
32
* Added emulation for MindLink controller using the mouse; the 'Bionic
33
Breakthrough' and 'Telepathy' ROMs now work.
35
* Updated FA2 bankswitch scheme (Star Castle) to emulate load/save
36
high score functionality to the Harmony cart flash RAM.
38
* Added ability for ROM launcher to 'descend' into ZIP files when it
39
contains more than one ROM file. This means you no longer have to
40
unzip a multi-file archive before using each ROM. Thanks go to Roland
41
Schabenberger (webOS maintainer) for this idea and sample code.
43
* Several improvements to the debugger/disassembler:
44
- The 'resolvedata', 'showaddr' and 'gfxformat' commandline
45
arguments are renamed to start with 'dis', indicating that
46
they're used with the built-in disassembler.
47
- Zero-page code addresses no longer have their high-byte
48
truncated, and system equates (TIA and I/O registers) are now
49
properly marked as such.
50
- The Distella '-r' option (Relocate calls out of address range)
51
is no longer the default, resulting in output more consistent
52
with normal usage of Distella. Related to this, added the
53
'-dis.relocate' commandline argument (and associated UI item)
54
to toggle this dynamically.
56
* Fixed bug in EFSC bankswitch scheme state saving; the Superchip RAM
57
wasn't actually being loaded and saved to state files.
59
* Improved speed of loading and saving state files, as well as slightly
60
reducing their size. Because of this, old state files will not work
63
* Replaced commandline argument 'uselauncher' with 'exitlauncher'. The
64
new option specifies the behaviour of the ROM launcher when exiting
65
a ROM (always exit to launcher, or only when the launcher was actually
66
used). This setting can now be changed in the GUI.
68
* Several updates to the internal properties database:
69
- 'Juno First' ROMs now use an AtariVox/SaveKey when possible
70
- 'Astroblast' ROMs now use the paddles by default
71
- 'Star Castle 2600' ROMs added
73
* Changed key-combo for enabling TIA objects and collisions to be
74
toggled on and off with the Alt-period and Shift-Alt-period
75
respectively (instead of having two separate keys to turn them on
78
* When working on the commandline, relative filenames are now
79
correctly handled (current working directory is used).
81
* The Windows 98/ME/2000 builds have been discontinued, due to code and
82
features that are only available on Windows XP/SP3 and later.
84
* Updated included PNG library to latest stable version.
15
89
3.6 to 3.6.1: (March 30, 2012)
17
91
* Extended FA2 bankswitch scheme to handle 28K ROMs (in addition to
18
92
the previously supported 24K ROMs).
