DarcNes dnbe9b0313 released!

posted in Emulator Release by xeon3d on Mar 21st, 2001

DarcNes, a Nintendo emulator that also supports a few other systems, has been updated to version dnbe9b0313. Here's what's new:
  • Removed the m6502 core.
  • Disabled compilation of the 68k core and genesis driver (they don't work, so...).
  • Changed many things internally in my quest to get rid of the CAL interface.
  • Started abusing the C preprocessor in the 68k core.
  • Added a workaround for a bug in the linker (and enabled a warning to let me know when I need to do so again).
  • Added a workaround for the very common bad dump of Zelda 2 (the one that is "missing" some CHR pages) (I thought I did this earlier, but I guess not).
  • Added a preliminary MSX driver.
  • Added a preliminary SC3000 driver (thanks to Marc Le Douarain for the patches).
  • Added mode 1 support to the TMS9918 video emulation (for both MSX and SC3000 support, again, thanks to Marc Le Douarain for the initial patch).
  • Oh, and DarcNES/Win32 now has sound support.
  • As there are versions for other OSes than Linux, I've updated the NES Emulators for *nix, NES Emulators for BeOS and the NES Emulators for Win\DOS pages. Thanks to mydisease for the news.
