Dolwin v0.09

posted in Emulator Release by narvick on Apr 1st, 2004

Dolwin was the first GameCube emulator that wasn't a hoax and it has shown a good bit of progress since it was first released. This is also its first update for the year. New in this version:

Welcome, hotquik!
Final revision of source code layout
Source code is now compatible with CodeWarriors workspace, best choice for fast and optimized code
Improved user interface, file selector/browser added
Dolwin now following Dolphin-emu politics and supports only GCM extension for disk images. No lamer "ISOs", or else!
Full low-level support for joypads (serial code) and rumble
Added emulation of audio DMA (CrowTRobo sound demo works)
First cut for DVD emulation (Sappharad DVD Browser works)
Memory cards are somewhat emulated (untested, or not working due to lack of DSP code)
Fixed apploader HLE bug (GCM files now loading properly)
Maps and patch files (ppf) now storing in "Data" directory
Maps are auto-loading with executable/GCM files
Added some maps and demos for GCMs
Added some library HLE (boring)
Recompiler disabled (untested)
Some work on debugger (symbolic information, function browser)
Dolwin now more stable on load/reload/close operations
Updated plugin specs (added pad rumble, removed DVD, new sound)
Improved GFX engine (lighting, textures, still not full)
Save-state support (experiemental)
Fixed another long outstanding GCM bug, caused by unexpected interrupts during apploader HLE. Now GCM reloading is safe
*Ton* of other internal core bug fixes

The end of the history.txt gives a two sentence rundown on what's now going on: Dolwin has now moved to the advanced level. Bust-a-Move 3000 and Animal Crossing are showing Nintendo logos.
