Changelog\r
---------\r
+1.51b\r
+ * Fixed a crash when uncompressed savestate is loaded.\r
+ * Fixed an idle loop detection related hanging problem.\r
+ * PSP: fixed another palette related regression.\r
+\r
+1.51a\r
+ * Fixed a sync problem between main and sub 68k. Should fix the hanging\r
+ problem for some games.\r
+ * ARM: fixed a crash when CD savestate is loaded just after loading ROM.\r
+\r
+1.51\r
+ * Improved bin_to_cso_mp3 tool, it should no longer complain about\r
+ missing lame.exe even if it's in working dir.\r
+ * Fixed a regression from 1.50, which caused slowdowns in Final Fight.\r
+ * Fixed some regressions from 1.50 related to sprite limit and palette\r
+ handling (caused graphical glitches in some games).\r
+ + Added ABC turbo actions to key config.\r
+ * Some other minor adjustments.\r
+\r
1.50\r
+ Added some basic support for Sega Pico, a MegaDrive-based toy.\r
+ Added proper support for cue/bin images, including cdda playback.\r
supported too (but 44kHz restriction still applies).\r
+ Added bin_to_cso_mp3 tool, based on Exophase's bin_to_iso_ogg.\r
The tool can convert .cue/.bin Sega CD images to .cso/.mp3.\r
+ * Greatly improved Sega CD load times.\r
* Changed how scheduling between 68k and z80 is handled. Improves\r
performance for some games. Credits to Lordus for the idea.\r
* YM2612 state was not 100% saved, this should be better now.\r
* Improved renderer performance for shadow/hilight mode.\r
* Added a hack for YM2612 frequency overflow issue (bleep noises\r
in Shaq Fu, Spider-Man - The Animated Series (intro music), etc.)\r
