非常低调的著名多主机跨平台模拟器Mednafen更新,呵呵,有点矛盾是吧。这次主要是PS模拟核心的进一步完善,比如CloneCD镜像的直接读取。
前两天说白头鹰的时候,我说BizHawk和RetroArch是一类没有原创模拟器核心的多主机模拟器。而Mednafen就是另一类的代表,它们有着完全原创的代码。如果说前者是改良,那么后者就是创新。分量不一样哦。
Mednafen的PC-FX模拟器核心是目前唯一还在开发的免费NEC PC-FX模拟器。这点必须要和大家提一下。
Especially notable changes include:
- Experimental CloneCD CD image support. The base part of the CCD/SUB/IMG filenames should match, and the file extensions should match in case(as in, upper or lower). Many CloneCD-format rips floating around on the Internet have unusable garbage Q subchannel data(from faulty ripping software, or faulty drives, I’m not sure), and Mednafen will refuse to use such a rip when it is detected(though detection isn’t guaranteed).
- Improved PS1 CPU emulation timing accuracy; fixes problems with “Final Fantasy Tactics”, “Battle Arena Toshinden”, “Zero Divide”, “NBA Jam Extreme”, “Tiny Toon Adventures – Plucky’s Big Adventure”, “Eldergate”, “Ballblazer Champions”, and “Incredible Crisis”.
- Misc PS1 bug fixes; fixes problems with “Tetris with Cardcaptor Sakura”, “Arcade Party Pak”, and “Crash Team Racing”.
- Optimized the PS1 MDEC decoding IDCT code.
- Improved PS1 multitap emulation accuracy; The “Tales of […]” games will now work properly when multitap is enabled.
- Changed how virtual ports are mapped when PS1 multitap emulation is enabled, to make more sense. See the included PSX module documentation for more details.
- Improved Virtual Boy noise emulation accuracy; fixes the digital sample playback in “Hyper Fighting”.
- Deprecated command-line option “-loadcd”, and added command-line option “-physcd”.
