MEKA v0.68b

posted in Emulator Release by narvick on Apr 18th, 2004

MEKA is a fantastic emulator of multiple old-school Sega systems including the Master System and Game Gear. It is also capable of emulating the Colecovision and Othello Multivision. This is a bugfix release for v0.68 released a bit ago. The Unix version of MEKA is still at v0.65. New in this version:

Removed the 2-byte tolerance in overdump detection. Overdumps with two slightly different half will be added in the database and marked as bad
Emulation:
- Fixed a major bug in the driver system, which resulted in corrupted savestates in F-16 Fighter / F-16 Fighting Falcon (the savestate system recognized them as SG-1000 games and so saved only part of RAM). Previous ingame states for the game are unrecoverable :(
- Removed immediate palette update when CRAM is written in a legacy video mode (the palette isn't updated on a SMS). It only affected F-16 Fighter / F-16 Fighting Falcon, but in a non game-visible way
- Tweaked heuristical SMS/GG mapper detection
- Fixed SMS/GG scanline counter emulation which was ignoring TV type (NTSC or PAL/SECAM) override directive from the database. (eg: one game would be forced to PAL/SECAM mode, but scanline counter emulation still mimic an NTSC system if it is the user selection)
Fixed mouse button mapping in the Input Configuration applet
Fixed file browser showing Japanese names after loading SMS Woody Pop or GG Pop Breaker (why those games only? because they both have a default country information in th eDB, as they only work on Japanese systems)
Added modified entries in the checksum and compatibility lists
