RuMSX v0.24
posted in Emulator Release by outsider on Sep 1st, 2001
RuMSX is a MSX emulator for Windows. Here's what's new in this version:
Selected joystick was not remembered if DirectX drivers only were present on the system (i.e. if using Windows 2000)
Minor changes in SOFTWARE.HLP and MSX.HLP
Added fMSX compatible ROM-Type 6 for Konami Game-Master 2 (previous value 127 is still supported and should be used within RuMSX, new value is supported for compatibility only)
GameMaster 2 Mapper changed (SRAM fixed)
Multiple SlotExpanders caused conflicts and unpredictable results
ROM-Type detection enhanced: PAINTER.ROM, LOTLOT.ROM and MSXAUDIO.ROM, RTYPE.ROM and HALNOTE.ROM are now handled even better (and more compatible)
Apply button was not always enabled after device-properties have been changed: available mouse-devices, Disk, Keyboard and Video properties could be changed without apply enabled.
Color-Palette was not correct if MSX1 configuration used
New ROM-Type for "Harry Fox Yki" added (now working)
Loadable keyboard-driver added
Fixed VDP-Statusregister mismatch (Penguin Kun Wars 2 is working now)
Added a Device/Setup button to set-up selected DirectInput devices (most likely used to calibrate joysticks)
Added option to disable screensaver while RuMSX is running (for presentations and demonstrations)
Fixed Mouse-support (button-clicks are now also recognized, even if mouse-movement is not queried).
Fixed SETUP.EXE for long pathnames containing spaces
Added MSX-Printer emulation (BETA, for evaluation) Windows-Printer works now like a MSX-Printer, Evaluation version recommends 300dpi printer (laser or ink)
Download it from the MSX Emulators page.
