posted in Emulator Release by bdlou on Nov 20th, 2001
MEKA, a Sega Master System/Game Gear emulator for DOS, has been updated to version 0.61. Here's what's new:
Moved 104 messages to MEKA.MSG, allowing for full localization of
the menus. 99% of MEKA is now localizable. Updated the following
languages: English, German, Redneck, Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish.
Improved Z80 core (timing and interrupt emulation bug).
Fixed Rise of the Robots (GG), MEKA being the first emulator to play
it without glitches (and even without, it sucks! :)
Fixed most or all (?) glitches in Formula 1 (SMS) two-players mode
(maybe not the right way yet).
Fixed Double Dragon (GG) which was not working since an update of
the Z80 core (from fMSX) several version ago.
Country changes now immediately takes effects (no need to reset).
Tweaking interrupt emulation for SG-1000/SC-3000/SF-7000 and Coleco
Vision drivers. Those changes should not affect anything.
Fixed 'Parallel' video blitter, odd frames were not updated when
using the blitter with software 3-D Glasses mode enabled.
Fixed crash of SF-7000 driver when loading a corrupted floppy disk.
Fixed YM-2413 logging in VGM files (Register & Value were reversed!)
Updated SDSC Header support for version 1.01 (adding Author field).
Added Golden Axe theme by Death Adder. (uncomment to use in GUI)
Updated to Allegro WIP 3.9.39 and reapplied all custom patchs.
Changed SideWinder autodetection process a bit. Hope it works!
Reduced executable.
The author also notes the following:
This version may or not have minor glitches on certain games (like, a single
pixel or a single blinking row at the top or the bottom of the screen).
Please DO report those glitches if you notice any. Thanks!
Download it from the Sega Master System/Game Gear Emulators Area.
Thanks to Gaiden for the news.
