This major update to the plugins system<br \/>\n  adds support for external plugins (.dll on Windows, .so on Linux),<br \/>\n  as well as support for more than just rendering plugins.<\/p>\n<p>- doc\/mdp\/ contains the MDP Interface Specifiction Version 1.0.0.<br \/>\n  This document is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License v1.3.<\/p>\n<p>- A new manual for Gens\/GS has been created. It is available in doc\/manual\/.<\/p>\n<p>- The Game Genie functionality has been moved to an MDP plugin. It now supports<br \/>\n  8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit patch codes, and uses a new patch code file format.<br \/>\n  Old patch code files are supported for loading; however, they will be written<br \/>\n  in the new format when saved. Later versions will add support for patching<br \/>\n  CPU address spaces other than the main MC68000.<\/p>\n<p>- New MDP Plugin: VDP Layer Options. This lets you adjust the visible layers<br \/>\n  on screen, so e.g. you can hide sprites, swap scroll priorities, and lock<br \/>\n  the palette to prevent color changes.<\/p>\n<p>- New MDP Plugin: Sonic Gens. This lets you view various information in<br \/>\n  memory in several Sonic games. Sonic Gens was originally written by LOst as a<br \/>\n  standalone version of Gens.<\/p>\n<p>- New renderers:<br \/>\n  - EPX (ported from Gens Rerecording)<br \/>\n  - EPX Plus (ported from Gens Rerecording)<br \/>\n  - Super 2xSaI (ported from Gens Plus)<br \/>\n  - Super Eagle (ported from Gens Plus)<br \/>\n  - Blargg's NTSC filter for MD<\/p>\n<p>- [Win32] Ported the GDI video backend from Gens Plus. It still has<br \/>\n  a few bugs, but it mostly works.<\/p>\n<p>- Extended controller configuration format. The new configuration format<br \/>\n  allows for up to 128 axes, 256 buttons, and 64 POV hats, whereas the<br \/>\n  old configuration format only allowed for 6 axes [5 axes on Win32],<br \/>\n  112 buttons, and 4 POV hats. This mainly affects the Linux version, since<br \/>\n  Linux usually reports all axes as axes instead of mapping some axes to<br \/>\n  POV hats, and some newer controllers (e.g. the Xbox 360 controller) have<br \/>\n  more than 6 axes. Older configurations are automatically updated to use<br \/>\n  the new controller configuration format.<\/p>\n<p>- The reverse-engineered 32X firmware, written by DevSter, is now included<br \/>\n  in Gens\/GS. If you do not have the original Sega 32X firmware files, the<br \/>\n  reverse-engineered ones are used instead.<\/p>\n<p>- Added SH2 DMA support for PWM audio. Thanks to Joseph Fenton for<br \/>\n  submitting a patch.<\/p>\n<p>- [Win32] Joysticks connected after loading Gens\/GS will now be detected<br \/>\n  in the Controller Configuration dialog.<\/p>\n<p>- WAV dumping has been reimplemented.<\/p>\n<p>- ROM History now caches the ROM type (MD\/MCD\/32X), so it doesn't have to check<br \/>\n  the ROM type every time the ROM History menu is rebuilt. This improves<br \/>\n  performance significantly if some ROM images were loaded from network shares.<\/p>\n<p>- ROM History now keeps track of compressed files inside of multi-file<br \/>\n  archives. For example, if you have a 7z archive containing several different<br \/>\n  versions of a game, selecting version 1 will result in a ROM History entry<br \/>\n  for that specific version, and selecting version 2 will result in another<br \/>\n  ROM History entry.<\/p>\n<p>- Added initial support for the \"Palette Select\" bit in VDP register 0.<br \/>\n  If the \"Palette Select\" bit is cleared, only the LSBs of each color component<br \/>\n  in CRAM is used to determine the colors to display, resulting in a maximum of<br \/>\n  8 colors onscreen. Not very useful, but more accurate to how the MD's VDP works.<\/p>\n<p>- SRAM can now be disabled in the Options menu. This fixes Puggsy, which checks<br \/>\n  for the existance of SRAM and prevents the user from advancing past a certain<br \/>\n  point if it exists. (Puggsy uses a password system, not SRAM.)<\/p>\n<p>- Improved PWM scaling algorithm, provided by Chilly Willy on the<br \/>\n  Sonic Retro forums.<\/p>\n<p>- A new command line option, \"--boot-cd\", can be specified to tell Gens\/GS to<br \/>\n  boot from an actual SegaCD CD-ROM on startup.<\/p>\n<p>- [Linux] Improved VSync support with the OpenGL backend. Both the MESA and SGI<br \/>\n  swap control methods are now supported.<\/p>\n<p>- The video subsystem now supports fallbacks. For example, on the Linux<br \/>\n  version, if SDL+OpenGL is selected but OpenGL isn't available, it will<br \/>\n  simply revert back to SDL instead of crashing. As an added bonus, this<br \/>\n  allows for Gens\/GS to start up properly on Windows NT 4.0, since the<br \/>\n  default backend on Win32 is DirectDraw 4, but NT4 doesn't support it.<br \/>\n  Instead of crashing, it will fall back to the GDI backend.<\/p>\n<p>- Gens\/GS no longer changes non-alphanumeric characters in SegaCD game names<br \/>\n  to spaces. This may cause some games to have different names, which will<br \/>\n  prevent their BRAM files from being loaded properly. If you have any of<br \/>\n  these games, you will need to rename the BRAM files in order to get them<br \/>\n  to load correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Release 7 fixes the following bugs:<\/p>\n<p>- Dragging and dropping a ROM image onto the Gens\/GS window will now<br \/>\n  synchronize the menus. This bug was reported by Tets on the Sonic<br \/>\n  Retro forums.<\/p>\n<p>- Loading a GSX savestate file that is not in GSX format will now show<br \/>\n  an error instead of crashing. Apparently, Gens Plus GZips its savestate<br \/>\n  files when saving by default. This bug was reported by SoNick in #retro.<\/p>\n<p>- [GTK+] Copied g_uri_unescape_string() (and dependent functions) from<br \/>\n  GLib 2.18.4 into Gens\/GS. This function was introduced in GLib 2.16,<br \/>\n  but Gens\/GS should be compatible with versions of GLib 2.4 and later.<\/p>\n<p>- Two VDP DMA bugs have been fixed:<\/p>\n<p>  - Zero-length DMA operations are now handled as 65,536-word operations.<br \/>\n    This may break some badly-written hacks.<\/p>\n<p>  - DMA operations now wrap on a 128k boundary. This bug was reported by TmEE.<\/p>\n<p>- The VDP H_Int register is now initialized to 0xFF. This fixes Sik's test ROM<br \/>\n  that produced \"rain\" on Gens, but not on Regen and the actual hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Release 7 has the following low-level code changes:<\/p>\n<p>- The video, audio, and input subsystems have been ported back to C.<br \/>\n  The C++ system was too awkward and had too much overhead.<\/p>\n<p>- Similarly, the decompression subsystem has been ported back to C.<br \/>\n  In addition, the LZMA SDK is now built into Gens\/GS, so 7z archives<br \/>\n  can be read without an external 7z binary.<\/p>\n<p>- Initial port of the Z80 emulator to C. The Z80 emulator has been moved<br \/>\n  out of the src\/gens directory and into its own directory, src\/mdZ80.<br \/>\n  Currently, the only functions that have been ported to C are the helper<br \/>\n  functions. The actual emulation code is currently being worked on in the<br \/>\n  mdZ80 branch in the Gens\/GS git repository.<\/p>\n<p>- Many assembly-language files have been converted from Intel-style (nasm)<br \/>\n  assembly to AT&T-style (GNU `as`) assembly.<\/p>\n<p>- Many assembler functions have been ported to C\/C++, including the<br \/>\n  UPDATE_PALETTE macros and Reset_VDP() (now VDP_Reset()).<\/p>\n<p>- Multitap support has been ported from x86 assembler to C. In the process,<br \/>\n  both Sega Teamplayer and 4-Way Play support have been improved. Notably,<br \/>\n  Teamplayer now works on \"NBA Jam\" and \"NBA Jam TE\", and 4-Way Play now<br \/>\n  works (sometimes) on \"Triple Play '96\". A complete list of tested multitap<br \/>\n  games can be found in doc\/teamplayer.txt .<\/p>\n<p>- yasm is now supported as an alternative to nasm. To use yasm, add the option<br \/>\n  --with-nasm=yasm when using the .\/configure script.<\/p>\n<p>- Precompiled binaries are now compiled for i686 or higher. If you want to<br \/>\n  run Gens\/GS on an original Intel Pentium or older, you will have to<br \/>\n  compile your own Gens\/GS binary.[\/CODE]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p_telecharger_icone_zip\"><a class=\"telecharger_icone_zip\" href=\"https:\/\/www.emu-france.com\/?wpfb_dl=3143\" title=\"Download Gens\/GS\">T\u00e9l\u00e9charger Gens\/GS R7 Packaging Update 1 (2.6 Mo)<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p_site_officiel\"><a href=\"http:\/\/info.sonicretro.org\/Gens\/GS\" class=\"site_officiel\" target=\"_blank\">Site Officiel<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p_en_savoir_plus\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emu-france.com\/emulateurs\/5-consoles\/58-sega-16-32-bits-hardware\/\" class=\"en_savoir_plus\">En savoir plus...<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button  \" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.emu-france.com\/?p=17449\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"small\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gens\/GS est une version de Gens, \u00e9mulateur Megadrive, am\u00e9lior\u00e9e par GerbilSoft (David korth).
