FCE Ultra 0.80 for Linux
posted in Emulator Release by stickfig on Aug 11th, 2002
For some strange reason or another, we had the Windows and DOS versions of FCE Ultra v. 0.80 on the site, but not the Linux version. Here's what's new in that version:
Fixed a bug affecting loading of UNIF files from zip files.
Replaced Marat's 6502 emulator with my own.
Removed Game Genie ROM image from the source code. It is now loaded from the FCE Ultra base directory from the file "gg.rom".
Rewrote many pieces of code.
Fixed a major iNES mapper 64 emulation bug introduced in 0.76.
Added support for iNES mapper 152. This should be used by any games previously assigned to mapper 70 that depend on one-screen mirroring(such as "Arkanoid 2" and "Saint Seiya Ougon Densetsu").
Added settings for the first and last scanline to be rendered while in PAL emulation mode.
Fixed a bug in the color deemphasis emulation code and made better use of the limited palette entry space available.
Undid some FDS sound emulation code changes introduced in 0.76 that totally messed up FDS sound emulation.
Minor bug fix to the Power Pad emulation code so that the official test program works correctly now.
Added support for the Famicom Expansion port and removed the option to select between the four-score and the Famicom 4-player adapter(this option is no longer required).
Added an option to disable four-score emulation.
Added emulation of the Arkanoid paddle controller(both NES and Famicom style) via the mouse.
Improved Zapper emulation, though it still needs improvement.
Added emulation of the Family BASIC keyboard.
Added (partial) emulation of the Hyper Shot gun.
Added code to override the user's input port/expansion port settings when certain games are loaded.
Added code to fix a few problems that I commonly see with a few games' iNES headers and to inform the user of the problems.
You can pick it up on the NES Emulators for Unix page.
Thanks to The Judge for notifying us of the missed update.
