NO$GBA v1.9b
posted in Emulator Release by mfc on Aug 23rd, 2004NO$GBA, a Gameboy Advance emulator for Windows and DOS, has been updated recently. Here is a snippet of the changes made:
- internal stats: shows cart CRC-32 (if any use though ultraslow with big carts)
- dos: fixed crash in loader of UPXed (released) version, nobody noticed it ;-(
- dos: faked get_or_resize_memory function (non-virtual, dumb slow rep_movsb)
- shareware: new decrypt proggy working (also compatible with DOS PE header)
- shareware: base64 attachment decrypt.prg (avoids .com/exe "virus" filters)
- help: added ascii arts GBA picture in tech data (shape, dimensions, buttons)
- xboo: uninstall nocashio - seems to have been nonfunctional in freeware 1.9/a
- xboo: download closes and deletes output file on errors/aborts during download
- xboo: download cart: displays "press START+SELECT text" (unless burst mode)
- help: media: flash backup specs (thanks Kirk Zathey for donating a Sonic cart)
- media: sram: emulates 64K area truncated to 32K SRAM size, or 0K size if none
- xboo: download at single speed burst via general purpose code in fast sram
- xboo: download displays cartridge title (or BIOS) and download size in kbytes
- xboo: download cart auto-detects cartsize, skips if no cartridge inserted
- xboo: download via separate buffer (without scattering emulation romseg)
- xboo: download switches into BURST-MODE after completion (instead dumb reset)
- xboo: download (and wait ready) can be aborted by ESC key / CANCEL button
- xboo: download bios function, download cart function, no piracy text message
- xboo: download increased bios/midikey delay from 3x15us to 4x15us (for P200)
- xboo: download wait ready function by SO=LOW signal (instead fixed delay)
- xboo: corrected silly typo: use 560 ohm pull-ups (no not-existing 570 ohm)
- controls: ignores POV joystick signals with Helixe reg key - after 3 months
- dos: uses all available memory (instead fixed 6MB), new big page table in xms
