v1.0
Added support for Nebula external video plugins (there is some source
code and the interface documents in the plugins folder).
Added CHD (MAME's compressed Hard Disks CD Images) support. Just put
the .chd files in the CHD folder in the main directory (sorry, no path
selection for it). And the bios (or the full roms zip) romsets in
the ROMS directory. When loading a CHD romset, the emulator will run
the entire startup sequence so it will take a while to boot (early games
just have a black screen) while the bios waits for the cd to spin up.
You don't need to go through the flashrom rewritting sequence, although
you can see how it looks (just for fun, as it doesn't actually write
anything) by going to Test menu and selecting "Game Rewrite". Using CHDs
doesn't have an actual benefit (except for seeing the exact startup
sequence of the game machine) apart from being able to run Warzard in
any region because Warzard always checks the cd ingame unless it's set to
asia, so by having the real CD emulation throuhg CHD, you can run it in
any region).
The priorities have improved but they aren't fully right yet (mainly in jojo
games).
Shadow/alpha is still missing.
Linezoom is missing, but I haven't found a single place where it's used.
Sean stage in sf3ng doesn't crash now, but shows garbage in the bg.
I've added an entry to the ini so you can switch the region (except for
warzard that it won't boot unless region is Asia)
I've also tried to fix some problems that people were having with
some old and integrated graphics chipsets. Probably some problems
have been fixed, but there might still be some around.
You can now also try to fix the renderer to the vsync of your monitor
with an option in the ini file (ForceSync).
Sprite Zoom: you'll see the sprite tiles (squares) not being properly aligned or
with gaps
Fullscreen Zoom: Sometimes it seems like the camera is not pointing to the action
Per-tile palette selection: some colors (a lot in some games) are wrong
Priorities: objects that are over the background when they should appear behind
Linescroll: Floor 3D effect missing. SF32ndi scrolling letters in intro missing.
Linezoom: I don't know where is it used :)
Usage is easy, just load emulator, select rom and play :).
Missing rom files will be reported in a console window.
PLEASE, READ EMULATOR.INI TO CHANGE OPTIONS AND KNOW HOW TO CONFIGURE YOUR ROM
DIRECTORIES
Fixed Keys:
For the rest of the keys, check the input config screen after a game has been
loaded (Game->Config Controls...).
