MESS v0.66

posted in Emulator Release by narvick on Mar 22nd, 2003

MESS, Multiple Emulator Super System, has been updated to v0.66! This emulates quite a few systems, so it's a great all-purpose program. Here's the latest:
    SYSTEM DRIVER CHANGES
  • Lviv- Support for .SAV snapshots. Joystick support.
  • SNES- Added support for fullgraphic VRAM transfers. Fixed VRAM reads. Fixed a rare clip window bug.
  • T1000HX- Modified to use character data from the actual BIOS
  • Apple 2- Implemented floating bus emulation
  • COCO3- Fixed a performance bug that could slow things down in simple cases where not much screen IO is being made
  • Ti99/4- Driver is now enabled. Some bugfixes and support for IR remote handlers


  • SOURCE CHANGES
  • The core is based on MAME v0.66. This incorporates all features of the update to this core
  • Major change to device handling: all devices now have separate init/exti and load/unload handlers. The former are called on startup/shutdown, and the latter are called when images are loaded and unload.
  • Moved CRC handling to use the core fileio function
  • Added a osd_image_loat_status_change() call, so that front ends can get notified when the load status of an image change
  • Introduced a cartslot_load_generic() call, to make simple cartridge image loading a bit simpler
  • Win32 GUI- Fixed a bug where screenshots with periods in them would not be loaded properly
  • Win32 GUI- Now uses INI files rather than the registry to store settings
