Meka 0.60 Released

posted in Emulator Release by drunkengoliath on Oct 21st, 2001

A new version of Meka, a Sega Master System emulator for DOS, was released to non-registered people. Here's what's new:

  • Improving timing in Z80 core.
  • Fixed voices that weren't ok (Alex Kidd: the Lost Stars..). Voices in many many games were tested, finally marked them as 'Ok' in the compatibility list.
  • Due to timing improvments, now Space Harrier [50 Hz version] has correct glitches (like on a real system) when running in NTSC mode. It is now configured to automatically use PAL/SECAM by default.
  • Removed the need of specific IPeriod setting for some Codemasters games, meaning that they will now run even if you delete MEKA.NAM.
  • Added sample accurate VGM logging, allowing to log voices. The option was previously grayed, it is activated now that all voices are Ok.
  • Updated to VGM version 1.01, to include original TV type information (NTSC or PAL/SECAM) in the file, allowing to play at a different rate.
  • Fixed minor sprite masking bug affecting scrolling games in certain conditions. Evander Holyfield Boxing (Game Gear) was affected.
  • Added support for Coleco Vision header/footer in order to load the newly released "Pac Man" and "Dig Dug" ROMs from CGE 2001.
  • Fixed a minor bug when loading an in-game savestate from the BIOS.
  • Fixed file loader sorting so that if present, ".." is always on top.
  • Added/fixed entrys to the checksum and compatibility lists.
  • Added two Sonic themes by H Hog. (uncomment to use in GUI)
