KiGB v1.30

posted in Site News by flash on May 8th, 2003

Ricky Liu has been busy upgrading his emulator KiGB. These changes have been applied to the Linux port as well. Here, in his own words, are what's new: - New Features: * Emulated Super Game Boy (SGB) and Super Game Boy 2 (SGB2). * Supported up to 4 players (SGB only). * Emulated digital sound (King of Golf). * Allowed to load default border bitmap image. * Allowed to adjust sound volume. * Allowed to configure joypad settings. * Supported interpolation filter for the border bitmap. - Changes: * Updated the game library Allegro from v4.0.2 to v4.0.3. This may help to fix problems on Windows XP and DirectSound. * Reverted the mouse drawing to v1.11. You may find some "mouse dropping" but speed was greatly improved. Move the mouse outside the screen after started to eliminate "mouse dropping". * Supported the screen dump to include border images. * Changed the startup routines so that no more flash would be noticed. * Fixed the resolution to 640x480 for full screen mode to cater for borders. * Sped up the GBC color palette calculation. - Bug fixes: * Fixed the rendering bug for color depth 24. * Reverted the change in calculating sound frequencies to v1.20 (Gen San 2). * Improved the sound generation routines. Sound quality improved. * Fixed a sprite rendering bug (Tokimeki Memorial). * Fixed a hanging bug (Donkey Kong Country). * Fixed dirty rectangle bugs (Donkey Kong Country and Vietnam War 2001 (I did not know the proper English name of the latter - this was my simple Chinese to English translation)). * Fixed a bug in reading joypad (King of Golf). * Fixed a bug in showing key input states. Wow. You can get this emu, the Windows and Dos versions at our Gameboy Emulators for Windows page, and the Linux version at our Gameboy Emulators for Unix page.
