PGEN v1.1

posted in Emulator Release by narvick on Nov 17th, 2003

A new version of PGEN, a Genesis emulator for PS2, was released today! It's been awhile since the last release, which was mid-April. Changes include:
  • Just about all PS2 specific code rewritten
  • Started using gsLib for graphics
  • Added scroll bar to romlist and Save Manager
  • Added suppor for loading ROMs from the memory cards
  • Added HDD support. Now possible to save/load states and options to the HDD, and load ROMs from the HDD
  • CD refresh rate obsolete, removed
  • Added support for zipped ROMs
  • Filtering now available for rendering (hardware linear filtering)
  • Saved states now use zlib for compression. Old saves are incompatible
  • Killed support for OLD JAP consoles (sorry :P)
  • Fixed bug with FIFO empty (VDP control port) emulation. Fixes games such as Wonderboy 5 and Splatterhouse 2
  • Added multitap support for use in 4 player games
  • No longer load modules from cdrom, making it possible to boot from a memory card via the PS2 Independence exploit
  • Many other misc changes
