Quote:A new blogging system has been added. This should allow for more flexibility, customization and features for users of XTemulation who are looking to create a blog and want to have it hosted locally. We will add any modifications you need or want, just make a request in the appropriate forum as explained in detail below.
The new blogging system is using Wordpress MU (Multi-User) which offers a lot more than the MKportal blogging system.
This is only meant as a blogging system for members of the forum and not a free for all host. I will be implementing a bridge system as soon as it is released, then disabling new account registrations. This will mean you'll need to have an active account on the forum in order to login to the new blogging system.
The old blogging system/module will be purged and disabled, so anyone who has a blog there is advised to copy and paste the text into your new blog system account.
For right now until I am able to implement the Mybb/Wordpress bridge, you'll need to create a new account on the blogging system. This is only temporary for right now. I advise that you use the same username/password as the forum because all accounts on the blogging system that don't correspond to an active forum account will be purged once the bridge is implemented, this way you'll avoid losing anything. A complete audit will be done to ensure blog accounts correspond to an active forum account.
I will be creating a subforum related to the blogging system in the Website Feedback and Questions section that users can use to post support requests and general/modification requests in.
The Game Section modification has been updated for Mybb 1.4, luckily I had a backup for the game section handy from before upgrading to Mybb 1.4.x so no games or scores were lost.
The link for the Game Section is on the links/nav bar at the top right hand just below the logo for the forum.
I'm working on getting a link implemented for the sky theme which is a little bit different to add links to.
I've slowed down on compiling and uploading new revisions temporarily. I've been sick with some cold or something else the past week, having a hard time breathing or feeling as if I can not get enough oxygen.
I apologize for this and assure you one I am feeling better and up to the task again, I'll be compiling and uploading new revisions frequently.
I know I've been a bit slow with news but I promise news will start speeding up fairly soon. So I am posting a better late than never post on the release of NullDC 1.0.3.
Changelog:
Quote:* VMU/VMS support added.
* Fog emulation added on nullPVR. (Note: This requires a shader model 2 video card for now)
* Experimental DSP emulation support added on nullAICA.
* Image reader can load real CDs now too.
* Added a (hidden) option to get rid of the console window since some people seem to hate it.
* Various bugs and problems fixed. More stuff became compatible. Less issues on already supported stuff.
* NAOMI version of the emulator.
Note that this version does not support gamepads, there is some problems that need to be worked out for gamepads as it is buggy at this point of time.
Renowned programmer Gabest famous for Media Player Classic and the pcsx2 graphics synthesizer plugin 'GSdx' has released the sourcecode for his new WIP CDVD/ISO plugin.
Those who are capable of compiling have the opportunity to try out a WIP plugin that already offers performance improvements over P.e.o.p.s CDVD plugin in certain situations and games, including smooth framerate in Grandia 3 video sequences. The plugin not only is capable of running DVDs and ISOs but also rare PS2 CDs such as Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex.
As of revision 848 there no configuration dialog gui, but the drive or iso path can be placed in the source code within the cdvd.cpp file
for those that are interested the source is available HERE
We have now updated the board software to Mybb 1.4.1 to better accommodate our visitors/members. Also an unofficial fix has been applied to Mkportal to bring it up to compatibility for Mybb 1.4.x.
Note:
[strike]To help reduce bandwidth consumption a little, the download section was temporarilly limited to registered users.[/strike] The download section is unrestricted again), now that changes have been made to help with the sudden and somewhat unexpected increase in bandwidth consumption. Thank you for your understanding.
Quote:Okay, at long last, I think I finally completed all the SPC7110 programming and tweaking (famous last words). If you find any issues, let me know, and I'll try to fix it (sigh).
Changes:
_Demo_ and I optimized the code even more, to the extent that we don't think there's anything else significant we can do.
Fixed a bug with save states/rewind that Deathlike found.
Removed the gfx packs stuff from the GUI and config file.
Added to the config file an option to turn off the graphics cache.
The cache isn't used if there's not enough free memory, but you can play SPC7110 games anyway.
Cleanup.
Post results of speeds with the cache on and off (changing the setting requires ZSNES to be restarted). I'd appreciate if people with sub 1 GHz machines can post some FPS and CPU info with and without cache.
Todo:
Post source changes for people who want them.
Coordinate with some translation teams to get the 4 SPC7110 games translated. If you need a special build of ZSNES for something, or some info which I can provide, let me know.
Party?
