MSX emulator for XBOX has been updated. Changes:
Changes To Bluemsx Core:
- Nothing really. Probably could use a core update at some point. :P This is just an update to the latest Madmab Edition interface and features.
- Added in game specific video modes.
- Added in game specific savestate autoload.
Interface Related Changes:
- Fixed an issue where changing the "Samba Nameserver" would also ask you for the "Relax Share Name" when you were done.
- Improved game preview network streaming. I like to call it "pseudo-streaming" so streaming game previews off a network should be ALOT smoother now.
- "Pseudo Streaming" defaults to off. So if you want to turn it on go into "Screenshot/Movie Preview Settings" and turn it on. I'm doing this until I get more feedback concerning the performance of it.
- Removed pop-up that says "Select The Cheatcode File You Wish To Use." per Dominater01's request.
- Cheatcode files now looked for in "Cheats" directory (don't forget to move them there guys!). (Pcsxbox only).
- The two Preset Controller menu options have been moved to the "controller configuration" menu. I did this cause several emu's use this feature now and to help reduce clutter in the in-game menu.
- Fixed blank pop-up message when trying to display the cheat codes when there are none.
- Fixed issues where media would not display when a directory with a period in it was highlighted.
- Added option to "Refresh DVD Drive". It is currently in the "Utilities Menu"
- Finally added option to "Shutdown Xbox". It is currently in the "Main Menu" however I have my reservations about it's location. I'd prefer to have it in the "Utilities Menu"
- Partial >4096 file support put in. If you have more than 4096 title or action shots put them in a directory named "action01" and "titles01".
- Checks put into the cheatcode database checker to let you know if the file is to big or has too many game entries and needs to be split up.
- Gilou9999's HD Colour skins should work properly now (no weird hacks). Be sure to at least copy over the "settings.ini" files in the skin directory and the skin "configurations" directories and "reload the skin".
- Added new skin transition option "none". Real handy for skins like Gilou9999's that uses the HD sprite trick.
- Windows 7 users should have no more weird issues on samba shares! Woohoo! Thank you YRUSirius for pointing out the available patch and Buzz for creating that patch.
- Fixed issue where emulator menu video mode was reverting to last played games video mode in emu's that support game specific video modes.
- Added in a feature "Sprites Used As Background? Yes/No" to allow the use of "sprites" as the background. Setting this to "Yes" allows the game screenshot to be seen in the IGM as well as the savestate screenshots in the select state menu. However skin designers keep in mind the more memory your skin uses the less room that leaves for me to add new features. Things are tight enough as it is.
- Fixed an issue where the synopsis was not always displaying for an unzipped file.
- Fixed a weird issue where if you are missing the "Title" or "Action" directory/picture for a game it would not be displayed correctly in the gameselect or favorites screen.
- Synopsis screen transition now works like it is supposed to.
- Fixed an issue where the preset controller settings were not saved properly (sorry guys. ). This only effects certain emus with preset controller definitions.
- Synopsis code completely rewritten to support the new synopsis format. Old synopsis.txt file is now officially defunct! :P
- Another new option "Use Default Emu Filter?". This will apply a preset filter custom designed for each emu core. It is also used internally by the synopsis code so user interaction is not required in some cases (like when a .zip file contains NFO or text file).
- modified L/R file scrolling so it doesnt kick off the movie so quickly. Hopefully this will fix interference from movies being accessed from a samba or relax share.
- Fixed long standing issue with "Autoload last savestate" where it could potentially pick the wrong savestate. Of course it also helps to make sure your xbox date is set correctly. :P
- Now have the ability to display long names for games. This currently relies on having Xtras ROM files. In the future I will be providing other options.
- Fixed issue where emu would lock up if the media directory path was longer that 36 characters. (Thanks to those who reported it and AMOC for testing for me)
- Fixed issue where emulator would lock up in favorites menu if you start removing games from the bottom up ..
- Fixed issue with wacky numbers when trying to adjust the volumes while in the IGM.
