FB Alpha 0.2.96.70 Release

2007-04-10T04:20:00.000-07:00

That will teach me to make assumptions that things don't change. I didn't run mamediff on the last release and hence missed some errors in the dat file that manifested themselves after the fixes in the earlier release. All should be fixed now so here is the current version.

Thanks go to LogiqX again for checking the files and pointing out the errors.

MAME 0.114 "Virtua Racing" released!

2007-04-03T05:36:00.000-07:00

Today sees the release of MAME 0.114. If you haven’t been keeping up with the intermediate releases, this release will have some significant changes and improvements. See the specifics in the individual posts below, or in the whatsnew file for 0.114.

The biggest change since 0.113u4 is the addition of a now-working driver for Virtua Racing, thanks to the efforts of Ernesto and El Semi. In addition to this news, Derrick also managed to get full discrete sound emulation working for Double Play/Extra Inning, and partial sound emulation in Bowling Alley and Space Encounters. And as usual a few of the major issues and regressions from the 0.114 development cycle have been addressed.

Onward to 0.115!

MAME 0.113 "Dance Dance Emulation" released!

2007-03-05T22:09:00.000-08:00

Lucky 113! There have been a lot of changes this time around, so make sure you look over the whatsnew file to see what’s been going on.

If you haven’t been following the news until recently, be aware that this release contains a number of updates to both the input and sound code. The sound code in particular bears mentioning because its new behavior has tripped up a few people. Sound output is now exclusively controlled by the emulation, not by the OS layer. This means that it is very important to have accurate timing and throttling. Because of this, the throttling code has been rewritten to be more forgiving of “hiccups” and other anomalies.

One non-obvious side effect is that if you are running your games with -triplebuffer or -waitvsync on a system with a 60Hz video mode (like most LCDs have), and you are running a game with a framerate greater than 60fps (any of the common older Namco titles will do fine), then you will experience sound hiccups unless you enable a little bit of frameskipping, either automatic or a frameskip of 1. This is because you are hard-limiting the game to run at 60Hz due to your monitor’s refresh, but it needs to produce more than 60 frames per second, so you are always running behind the emulation.

On the input front, Derrick Renaud has done a lot of work to try and normalize the behavior of analog inputs across the project. He has fixed and tweaked quite a number of analog controls in the system. Because of this, you may find that you need to throw away your existing calibrations and re-calibrate with the new settings. The advantage of the new system is that it fixes a number of inaccuracies in the behavior of the controls and allows games to have more flexible options when it comes to mapping controls on your PC to the controls the game used.

In addition to these changes there are quite a lot of new unplayable Bemani games that have come out of the woodwork over the past week or so, as well as an implementation of the long-desired (by pinball guys anyway) BSMT2000 ADPCM code. For this release I’ve also enclosed some regression testing tools I’ve been using for the past few months to help catch problems introduced between versions of MAME. You can see an example of the progress between 0.112 and 0.112u4 by looking here. Note that there are still a few glitches in the system, but I felt it was worth providing the code.

MAME 0.112u4 diff

2007-03-02T00:46:00.000-08:00

Today we have a new update to MAME 0.112. You can grab the diff file from the Latest Release page. The sound changes have mostly settled now and this build should be a good one to test with. In fact, it would be great to get feedback on how sound and throttling are working across a number of systems before we move to a 0.113 release, which should follow soon. Please give it a try and report your bugs to MAME Testers.

Other significant improvements this time around include some more input port fixes from Derrick; discrete sound in Checkmate, again from Derrick; support for the T5182 sound MCU from Nicola, Ernesto, and Lord Nightmare, giving sound in The Lost Castle in Darkmist, Mustache Boy, and Panic Road; and tweaks to many sound cores to make them generate audio at their native frequency. Note that this latter change may have some negative performance impact, but I didn’t see anything too significant in limited testing.

FBA Alpha 0.2.96.65 Release

2007-03-02T00:37:00.000-08:00

FB Alpha or FBA as it is commonly known is an emulator of arcade games, that is, it takes the program code, graphics data, etc., from an original arcade game and emulates the hardware to make the game run in it's original form. As far as the game is concerned it is running in it's original cabinet.

FB Alpha is an open-source project and it is programmed by a group of people known as the FBA Team. Over the years this has comprised of myself, Jan_Klaassen, KEV, LoopMaster, Mike Haggar, Hyper Yagami and Ayeye. FB Alpha is based on the original FinalBurn by Dave.

Version 0.2.96.65
A quick release to fix the rom size in Last Blade and to add in the dialog changes from Captain CPS-X. The dialog looks really good now and I think we're done with changing it all the time now!

Here's the what's new;
* Corrected the rom size of the v4 rom in lastbldh and lastsold
* Finally beat the bug that sometimes hides the license dialog (hopefully!)
* Updated the load dialog based on code from Captain CPS-X, should be the last change as I'm really happy with it
* Updated sets to match MAME 0.112u4

FB Alpha 0.2.96.64 Release

2007-02-28T21:41:00.000-08:00

A new FB Alpha is available on the downloads page. The biggest thing in this release is the updated Sega drivers but it's really nice to see external submissions too.

Big update to the System 16 drivers - these drivers are still preliminary and thus still have issues (major issues only listed);

Dynamic memory maps for System 16B are not emulated
Row and Column scroll not emulated for System 16A and B
Alernate tilemap select for System 16B not emulated
Some of the FD1094 encrypted games require a driver reset after loading before they boot
There are plenty of other small issues as well but most games are running well

Added driver for Biomechanical Toy (biomtoy) [kev, cleanup by BisonSAS]
Fixed blank tile bug in the Prehistoric Isle driver
Fixed bad tiles in The King of Fighters 99 driver [BisonSAS, Ryo, Robert, Yuri, Takuma)
Updated the CPS-1 drivers to allow brightness control in the palette
Removed the XOR from spf2ta now the decryption key is known
Cleanup to the Bombjack driver [BisonSAS]
Fixed issues with savestates in several drivers
Changed the game selection dialog again
Added/fixed several non-Latin titles [doomking, BisonSAS
Updated several romsets to match MAME 0.112u3
Fixed the perl script that generates the driver list so that sets can be assigned to debug builds only again
