A new updated version of this Sega Master System/Game Gear emulator is available. This is what's new:
Osmose now uses OPENGL for render for a serious speedup (120fps for 11%cpu load in fullscreen on my old development machine). Bilinear filtering cost almost nothing now, whatever is osmose window size.
Note that it's now possible to resize the window.
Only Bilinear and Nearest Neighbourfilters remain.
Use a lookup table instead of switch / if else for TextWriter (Faster).
FPS is now writen into emulated display instead of Window's Title so it can
be seen in fullscreen.
Emulator is less verbose now. It does not say what it doesn't do anymore :)
Few changes in emulation statistics presentation.
ZLIB is now installed by default on most linux distribution so Osmose does not
keep zlib source code into it's source tree, and uses the libz shared object.
Note: Due to the major change in the renderer, this version is a Beta so, if you try this version, please let the author know how it works for you.
Download it at the project webpage (http://bcz.emu-france.com/osmose.htm). Windows version and source code also available here (http://www.zophar.net/sms-gg/osmose.html).
