posted in Emulator Release by xeon3d on Apr 2nd, 2001
gnuboy, a GNU gameboy emulator, was updated to version 0.9.11. Here's what's new in this version:
fixed bug that kept video mode setting from working with svgalib
implemented program counter skip after STOP instruction (konami collections)
fixed SDL hardware surface support -- thanks Dave Kiddell
also fixed another bug in gnuboy graphics code related to that problem
removed sdl_hwsurface rcvar (no longer needed)
changed SDL code to use SDL_Flip rather than SDL_UpdateRect - much faster
most ports now can auto-choose screen size for given scale if no vmode is given
optional shm sync skipping for x11 -- boost performance but looses frames
lots of new scaling stuff
allow HDMA while LCDC is off -- fixes Worms Armageddon
correct initial values for HDMA regs -- fixes first hang in Turok 3
major timer fixes!! fixes second hang in Turok 3
As this emulator is available for multiple operating systems, you can get it at our
Gameboy for Win/Dos page, or at our
