What's new in Yabause 0.9.13

Apr 14, 2014
  • Working Netlink emulation over LAN/internet
  • CD audio emulation fixes
  • Support for mdf/mds (version 1) dumps
  • CD+G
  • GDB stub
  • Saturn mouse and 3D control pad
  • Awesome new SH2 debugging features
  • More user-friendly interface
  • At least 0.0.1 more than any previous version

New in Yabause 0.9.12 (Oct 11, 2013)

  • Added an essential feature missing in Qt port: the debug interface. With this new feature, we now recommend the Qt port as default port for Linux (and friends) and Windows. You can also use it on Mac OS X or you can use the specific Cocoa port. This port gained a new feature too: it can now loads ISO and BIN/CUE files, so you can play on a Mac without an optical drive.
  • There’s been many changes on the emulation side too: The software renderer is now a big boy and now handles transparency and many other VDP2 features, making many more games playable. The OpenGL renderer also include a number of new features, but as the software renderer, though slower, is running more games, we made it the default.
  • The last big thing in this release is it will be the last to support some options, mainly ports, that we will remove as we can’t, or don’t want, to maintain them anymore.
