MESS v0.86

posted in Emulator Release by mfc on Aug 26th, 2004

MESS, an emulator of several, several systems, has been updated recently. Here is what's new:

System Driver Changes:

[AMSTRAD/C16/MSX/PC] Fixed a regression in which certain input ports were being ignored. This was caused by a defect in PORT_INCLUDE.
[PC1512] Fixed a vblank regression introduced in the 0.85 input port changes
[TELMAC] Added printer output, tone sound, colorram/blink attribute, a preliminary quickload for BASIC programs, and devices.

User Interface Changes:

[Windows] Added an "Analog Controls" dialog to the new UI.
[Windows] The MAME arrow key chars now show up in the new UI remap dialogs
[Windows GUI] Added a tab view that provides an alternate way to load and unload software images.
[Windows GUI] Revamped the software picker; file iteration is now asynchronous and multiple files within ZIPs are now supported.

Source Changes:

The core is based on MAME 0.86. This incorporates all features of the update to this core.
Fixed default names for input ports that use PORT_CHAR.
CDP1802 cycle count fixes.
Fixed a regression in which Start and Select buttons were not properly specified. This could result in crashes when customizing the inputs of certain drivers in the new Win32 UI.
