[新聞] (MD/MD-CD) Gens/GS Release 7 Preview 5 - 模擬器

2009.10.11

New Features

The on-screen display text drawing code has received several changes:

- The text is now cached using the C64 character set data to reduce
the time needed to draw the text on every frame.
- The 1x and 2x text drawing functions have been consolidated into
one templated function.
- UTF-8 strings are now supported. Invalid UTF-8 sequences are
treated as local codepage characters.
- More characters were added to the C64 character set to take
advantage of UTF-8 support.
- The menu bar can now be hidden in windowed mode. To access the
menu system in windowed mode while the menu bar is hidden,
right-click anywhere in the Gens/GS window.
- Added an RGB Color Scaling option. This option scales colors to
their full brightness, which is accurate to how the original
console worked. For example, on the MD, a color component 0xE
indicates full brightness; however, on Gens/GS in 32-bit color,
this would get scaled to 0xE0 (224) instead of 0xFF (255). With
Color Scaling on, it is now properly scaled to full brightness.

Bug Fixes

- [SDL] Fixed a controller input regression that inverted axes.
This regression was introduced in r7_pre4 with the reworking of
the SDL key configuration handler to make it ignore the initial
joystick state when detecting joystick changes. This bug was
reported by superGear in #retro.
- [SDL] Fixed a bug in Controller Configuration where POV hats
weren't read properly. This bug was reported by dmb in #retro.

Miscellaneous

- A new utility called "CBOB" (C Binary Object Builder) is used to
convert the reverse-engineered Sega 32X firmware images into C
arrays at compile time.
- This eliminates the need to have a pre-converted source code file,
plus it makes it easier to update the included firmware images
(and add more built-in binaries) at a later date.
