FCE Ultra v0.98.12

posted in Emulator Release by mfc on Aug 28th, 2004

FCE Ultra, a very portable NES emulator, has seen an update today. Here is what's new:

Win32: Fixed the behavior of the sound logging function.
Fixed a bug that was causing 2xscale/3xscale to be broken when clipping the leftmost and rightmost 8 columns.
Added an iNES header correction entry for JustBreed.
Modified the MMC5 "ELROM" board emulation to not emulate WRAM.
Corrected various pieces of code that were causing compiler warnings.
Win32: Scaling settings(x, y, stretch to fill screen) are now respected while using a special scaler in full screen mode, though if x or y scale is less than what is needed for a particular scaler, it will be adjusted.
Win32: The window will be reblitted when it becomes invalidated while a game is loaded(such as when you're resizing the window).
When the PPU is in a "dead" state after starting up, the graphics buffer is now cleared. Previously, particularly in the Windows port, when a game was closed, and a new game was loaded, the last image from the previous game would be displayed for a short time.
Win32: Blit skipping will now occur when sound is disabled and FCE Ultra is running behind the desired frame rate.
Win32: Blit-skipping behavior can now be configured to some extent in the "Timing" configuration window.
Win32: Added a "Recent Directories" submenu to the "File" menu.
Removed some debugging code that shouldn't have been enabled in 0.98.11.
