posted in Emulator Release by xeon3d on Mar 5th, 2001

A new version of MESS has been released bringing it up to v0.37b12. Here's what's new in this release of MESS:
  • System Driver Changes: [KC85/4 & KC85/3] Colours fixed. Added colour flash support. Improved accuracy of video redraw; mid frame changes are now supported (only flash changes are supported at this time); flashing lines in Boulderdash are reproduced now. Swapped CLR and DEL keys (previously you had to press "delete" near Scroll Lock to delete back a char. Now you can press backspace). ORIC1/ORICA/TELSTRAT] Fixed .tap loading. (Conversion from .tap to internal .wav form was completely broken). [COCO 3] More work on improving video timing for mid frame video register modification. Now supports mid frame palette modification, and altered the way video RAM is scanned so that John Kowalski's Boink demo now runs (albeit with many glitches). Also fixed a bug that would cause the "Speed Up Poke" to still be in effect after a reset.
  • Other Changes: The core is based on MAME 0.37b12. This incorporates all features of the update to this core. [IMGTOOL] Added support for NC100/NC200 PCMCIA Ram Card images. Card can be formatted and files can be transfered to and from card filesystem.[machine/z80fmly] The Zero count/Timeout output pulse was very short. Now the pulse is active for longer. Required for KC85/4 colour flash to work!
