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. Thanks to navarone for the news
