Hi !
I heard you wanted a new release, you have it now ! :)
And what's new ?
- Fixed [PSMT8*CSM1*PSMCT32] texture format (ps2mame title !)
- GSprocessTexture rewrited, should be more compatible.
- Added mipmapping support
- New menu, without flickering :p
- Added Texture Viewer in menu
- Now the cursor will be available only in windowed mode.
- Fixed keep ps2 ratio mode, fixed screen centered bugs, etc...
- Texture format added: [PSMT4*CSM1*PSMCT16] [PSMT4*CSM1*PSMCT16S] [PSMT4*CSM2*PSMCT16]
[PSMT8H*CSM1*PSMCT32] [PSMT8H*CSM1*PSMCT16] [PSMT8H*CSM1*PSMCT16S] [PSMT8H*CSM2*PSMCT16]
I still need some demos to test...
- Sprite code correction (psms,ps2mame,others) ; now it's like the GSsoft plugin.
- A lot of optimisations - speed is really better (5-10 fps with some demos).
But the following additions will slow down the emulation of some demos :p
- New updateTexture checking code (psms games works! - soundcheck text colors works! - colors15 textures begin to work)
- new drawing code (for Point,Line,Triangle,Sprite) - faster, more compatible
- fixed 1fx alpha blending
- fixed PRIM register bug (plasma_tunnel)
- Added 'Missing stuff Fix' for 1fx,pillgen and maybe other demos
- Added FBfix 3&4, now FBfix is displayed in main menu, now you can change FBfix dynamically using 'End' button
- Fixed a bug when shutdown emulator without ESCAPE button (thanks Seta-San)
- Internal changes and code cleaning.
