Added
– Implement a experimental libretro port.
– Add thumbnails to ROM list UI.
– Increase interpreter performance by 4 times.
– Implement a dynamic recompiler, a.k.a. JIT compiler, which is 70% faster than the interpreted version. But the recompiler is not very optimized yet. It is only targeting x64.
– Delta-compress rewinding’s save states.
Changed
– Renamed packages from using _ to -, like from gameroy_native to gameroy-native.
Fixed
– Replace poorly maintained OpenGL backend by glutin.
– Fix resizing in Wayland.
– Fix bench command’s « times faster » calculation.

– Add support for « GG Super 56 in 1 (B) [Mega Man] (Unl) » which uses the same mapper
– New scripting system. In developer mode, scripts are auto-recompiled on startup. Developer options are also available to automatically detect script changes while the application is running. Compiled scripts must be enabled through a new Script Modules feature.
– A new script is included which allows Cybermorph to render polygons/textures at the native resolution.
– An option for adjusting MSAA has been added to the video settings. This is only relevant to things which use the native depth buffer, like the new Cybermorph script.
– A new script is included which allows uncapping the framerate in Alien vs. Predator.
– A new script is included which fixes flickering in the Brett Hull Hockey prototype.
– A simplified CRT library along with a whole bunch of BigPEmu-specific API functionality is included in the scripting system via the Scripts/bigpcrt library.
– Basic native DLL (CDECL) call functionality has been implemented in the scripting API, so that others can take the initiative to start implementing things like RetroAchievements as desired.
– Added native mouse input support. (must be enabled in the input settings) Mouse movement and buttons can be bound to analog, rotary, and digital inputs interchangeably.
– Some more work on debugger-enabled builds has been done behind the scenes, but this shouldn’t affect anything user-facing just yet.
– Even more terrible secrets have been added.
– Made sure native rendering works even with a Screen Effect active. However, this isn’t generally a recommended combination, as the effect will be sourcing from a native-resolution buffer instead of a Jaguar-resolution buffer. (post-Patreon build addition)
– Added a -conout command line option. Under Windows, this spawns a console and directs log output here instead of to a file. (post-Patreon build addition)
– The breadth of functionality encompassed by the scripting system is too vast to cover here, so I’ve made a video to highlight some of the features and explain how the existing scripts work: https://youtu.be/y4gXxSmLOg4
– Please help me out with support on social media and Patreon! Things have continued to be rough on the health front lately, and I’ve found it’s getting harder to use Twitter to reach my actual target audience, so I’m depending more on organic word of mouth to spread project news and hopefully bring in support.
