NEStopia v1.05

posted in Emulator Release by narvick on Aug 1st, 2003

A new version of NEStopia, and excellent NES emulator was released today! New goodies:
  • Corrected the CRC database searcher (several games had the wrong name displayed in the title bar)
  • Fixed a bug that made the user defined paths not to be saved properly
  • Changed so that images with support for both PAL and NTSC will prioritze NTSC and not PAL as in earlier versions when "auto mode" is selected
  • Added mapper 107 ("Magic Dragon")
  • Added mapper 134 ("Olympiq IQ")
  • Added mapper 135 ("Super Pang")
  • Added mapper 198 (Chinese version of "Destiny of an Emperor")
  • Fixed a bug in the UNIF loader that caused all files having a board name beginning with NES-, UNL-, HVC-, BTL-, or BMC-, to be parsed wrongly
  • FIxed a bug that caused the application to hang and/or crash when Alt-Tabbing
  • Removed most of the sound clicks and pops heard when the audio gets disabled (menu entering, window moving, etc.)
  • Made so that all the save slots automatically get imported/exported from files using [name].ns1 through .ns9 on load/close. It's ON by default
  • Fixed a PPU bug that could cause the application to crash when loading up a game in the middle of an NSF tune
  • Fixed the frame rate timer. In previous versions it had the potential to cause serious lagging
  • Fixed the fullscreen mode cursor, sometimes it could get visible/invisible when it shouldn't
  • Changed to using C++ exceptions, way better error handling now
  • Added the option to add custom keys to the "save to next slot" and "load from last slot" commands
  • Added 8bit graphic mode. Filters are not supported for this one
  • Improved the TV-mode graphic filter and removed all visual artifacts in the marginals
  • Added an option in the preferences dialog to disable the use of the ROM database
  • Added more logfile info
