Fuse PSP version 0.10.0.21 released

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

New in this version:

  • Bugfix: Tape/disk status icons should no longer clear when switching between emulator and menu
  • Added tape browser: can now reposition tape location from the System tab (if a tape is loaded)
  • Added tape rewinding, playback (System tab)
  • Added an option to enable/disable tape traps (fixes games like splATTR)
  • Added program counter (PC) display – enable/disable in the Options tab

There is a pattern here – a lot of tape-related updates in this release. Enjoy!

Fuse PSP version 0.10.0.2 released

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

A new version of Fuse PSP is now out. Changes include:

  • On-screen indicators for floppy and tape drives – enable in the Options tab
  • Fuse updated to 0.10.0.2; libspectrum updated to 0.5.0.1
  • Source: ‘aux’ directory has been renamed, and source code can now be checked out under Windows
  • Bugfix: held keys will be automatically released when the virtual keyboard is displayed
  • Bugfix: Older (pre-0.10) button configuration files will now load
  • Bugfix: Multiple simultaneous L+[button] and R+[button] combination presses will now register correctly

What’s new in Fuse 0.10.0.2 and libspectrum 0.5.0.1 (as relevant to the PSP port):

  • Make loader acceleration work on all compilers (Philip Kendall; thanks, Carlos Almeida, Alberto Garcia and Alexander Yurchenko)
  • Allow both +3 disk drives to be used at once (Gergely Szasz)
  • Allow both +D disk drives to be used at once (Gergely Szasz)
  • Make .dsk code handle missing newline on “Track-Info” header (Gergely Szasz; thanks, Simon Owen)
  • Looser signature checks for .dsk files to allow files not strictly compliant with the specification to work (Gergely Szasz; thanks, zx81 and Simon Owen)

Two issues require further discussion: bugs were reported related to a) absence of a “Gluk” boot menu when loading certain files (the menu does appear in pre-0.10 Fuse PSP), and b) intermittent, but common issues when loading consecutive disk images (the disk image will load the first time, not load the second time, may load the third time – or not). Both issues seem to be related to Fuse 0.10, and not just the PSP port, as I get the same behavior in the Linux (Ubuntu) version of the emulator. The issue may be related to configuration, in which case, if you know a workaround/fix, please notify me.

UPDATE Many thanks to Carl Murray and Fred of worldofspectrum forums for the following clarifications: the “Gluk” boot menu has been removed from Pentagon 128K, and moved into Pentagon 512K and 1024K. To use the menu, switch the machine type to either of the two systems mentioned.

Fuse PSP update

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Most of the bugs/known issues from the last release of Fuse PSP have been fixed (the sole exception being the speed of tape loading, and there’s not much that can be done about that).

Next version will also include a bunch of new features and improved hardware support — exact details are currently being worked out.

fMSX 3.5.35 released

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

This is mostly a bugfix release. Here’s what’s new:

  • Bugfix – many games, especially MegaROM games did not load correctly in the previous version (thanks Victor)
  • Added Fast Forward button mapping – while disabled by default, you can map any button to fast-forward emulation in the Controls menu
  • Custom mapper types can now be embedded in source code. This version includes built-in support for Zanac Ex and Mon Mon Monster. Contact me if you’d like to add additional mappings

This version no longer includes a version compiled for firmware 1.50.

Small Update

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

This is just a small note to let you folks know that work on wifi netplay is continuing as before.

For fans of fMSX, look forward to an update that will fix the crashing of the emulator when MSX Music/MSX Audio are accessed while disabled in System settings. Because this is a small fix, this release is not planned for the immediate future, but if enough people show interest, a bugfix release will follow. Those who know how to, or don’t want to wait can compile from svn.
