NEStopia v1.05

posted in Emulator Release by narvick on Jul 31st, 2003

A new version of NEStopia, and excellent NES emulator was released today! New goodies:

Corrected the CRC database searcher (several games had the wrong name displayed in the title bar)
Fixed a bug that made the user defined paths not to be saved properly
Changed so that images with support for both PAL and NTSC will prioritze NTSC and not PAL as in earlier versions when "auto mode" is selected
Added mapper 107 ("Magic Dragon")
Added mapper 134 ("Olympiq IQ")
Added mapper 135 ("Super Pang")
Added mapper 198 (Chinese version of "Destiny of an Emperor")
Fixed a bug in the UNIF loader that caused all files having a board name beginning with NES-, UNL-, HVC-, BTL-, or BMC-, to be parsed wrongly
FIxed a bug that caused the application to hang and/or crash when Alt-Tabbing
Removed most of the sound clicks and pops heard when the audio gets disabled (menu entering, window moving, etc.)
Made so that all the save slots automatically get imported/exported from files using [name].ns1 through .ns9 on load/close. It's ON by default
Fixed a PPU bug that could cause the application to crash when loading up a game in the middle of an NSF tune
Fixed the frame rate timer. In previous versions it had the potential to cause serious lagging
Fixed the fullscreen mode cursor, sometimes it could get visible/invisible when it shouldn't
Changed to using C++ exceptions, way better error handling now
Added the option to add custom keys to the "save to next slot" and "load from last slot" commands
Added 8bit graphic mode. Filters are not supported for this one
Improved the TV-mode graphic filter and removed all visual artifacts in the marginals
Added an option in the preferences dialog to disable the use of the ROM database
Added more logfile info
