gnuboy 0.9.10
posted in Emulator Release by akilla on Mar 27th, 2001
gnuboy, a GPL'd GameBoy emulator for DOS, Windows, and Unix, has been updated to version 0.9.10.
New Features:
Primitive but fast and fully functional scale-by-two support.
New rcvar "vmode" sets video mode in all the targets that support it.
Now up to 16 joystick buttons can be used, as opposed to 8 before.
Static palette mode (rcvar "rgb332"), which can make highcolor games look better when run at 8bpp by faking a 3/3/2 color channel mode.
Compatibility:
Added a quick hack to fake serial I/O so that Super RC Pro-Am works.
Spiderman's web is now visible in Spiderman GBC.
Performance:
New refresh code blits lines slightly faster.
Added sdl_hwsurface rcvar to turn hardware surface on for speed boost, disabled by default because it crashes on Windows.
Bugs Fixed:
Hopefully fixed issue with X header locations affecting some users.
DMG sprite sorting isn't working right. It's now disabled by default.
VBLANK timings have been changed slightly to fix Daedalian Opus.
Fixed various minor bugs found by enabling compiler warnings.
Spacebar was not working with SDL. Fixed.
Fixed bug that made OAM unreadable.
Grab it off the GameBoy Emulators for DOS/Windows or Unix pages.
