About\r
-----\r
-\r
-This is yet another Megadrive / Genesis / Sega CD / Mega CD / 32X / SMS\r
-emulator, which was written having ARM-based handheld devices in mind\r
-(such as smartphones and handheld consoles like GP2X and Pandora).\r
-\r
-The emulator is heavily optimized for ARM, features assembly cores for\r
-68k, Z80 and VDP chip emulation, also has dynamic recompilers for SH2 and\r
-SSP16 (for 32X and SVP emulation). It was started by Dave (aka fdave,\r
-finalburn author) as basic Genesis/Megadrive emulator for Pocket PC,\r
-then taken over and expanded by notaz.\r
-\r
-PicoDrive is the first emulator ever to properly emulate Virtua Racing and\r
-it's SVP chip.\r

- + Added Caanoo support. Now the GP2X binary supports GP2X F100/F200, Wiz\r
- and Caanoo. Lots of internal refactoring to support this.\r
- + Enabled 32X and SMS code. It's still unfinished but better release something\r
- now than wait even more (it has been in development for more then a year now\r
- due to various other projects or simply lack of time).\r

- rare cases).\r
- * Adjusted fast renderer to work with more games, including VR.\r
- * Fixed a problem where SegaCD RAM cart data was getting lost on reset.\r
- * GP2X: Greatly reduced SegaCD FMV game slowdowns by disabling read-ahead\r
- in the Linux kernel and C library (thanks to Rokas and Exophase for ideas\r
- again). Be sure to keep "ReadAhead buffer" OFF to avoid slowdowns.\r
- + PicoDrive now comes with a game config file for some games which need\r
- special settings, so they should now work out-of-the-box. More games will\r
- be added with later updates.\r
- + GP2X: Files now can be deleted by pressing A+SELECT in the file browser.\r
-\r

- (although it should have crashed there too).\r
- * Readme updated.\r
-\r
-1.34\r
- + Gizmondo port added.\r
- + Some new optimizations in memory handlers, and for shadow/hilight mode.\r

-\r
-0.92\r
- VDP changes:\r
- * VDP emulation is now more accurate (fixes flickering in Chase HQ II,\r
- Super Hang-On and some other problems in other games).\r
- * HV counter emulation is now much more accurate. Fixes the Asterix games,\r
- line in Road Rash 3, etc.\r
- * Minor sprite and layer scroll masking bugs fixed.\r
- + Added partial interlace mode renderer (Sonic 2 vs mode)\r
- * Fixed a crash in both renderers when certain size window layers were used.\r
- + Added emulation of shadow/hilight operator sprites. Other shadow/hilight\r
- effects are still unemulated.\r
- + Sprite emulation is more accurate, sprite limit is emulated.\r
- + Added "accurate sprites" option, which always draws sprites in correct\r
- order and emulates sprite collision bit, but is significantly slower.\r
-\r
- Emulation changes:\r
- * Improved interrupt handling, added deferred interrupt emulation\r
- (Lemmings, etc).\r
- + Added serial EEPROM SRAM support (Wonder Boy in Monster World,\r
- Megaman - The Wily Wars and many EA sports games like NBA Jam).\r
- + Implemented ROM banking for Super Street Fighter II - The New Challengers\r
- * Updated to the latest version of DrZ80 core, integrated memory handlers\r
- in it for better performance. A noticeable performance increase, but save\r
- states may not work from the previous version (you can only use them with\r
- sound disabled in that case).\r
- + SRAM word read handler was using incorrect byte order, fixed.\r
-\r
- Changes in Cyclone 0.0086:\r
- + Added missing CHK opcode handler (used by SeaQuest DSV).\r
- + Added missing TAS opcode handler (Gargoyles,Bubba N Stix,...). As in real genesis,\r
- memory write-back phase is ignored (but can be enabled in config.h if needed).\r
- + Added missing NBCD and TRAPV opcode handlers.\r
- + Added missing addressing mode for CMP/EOR.\r
- + Added some minor optimizations.\r
- - Removed 216 handlers for 2927 opcodes which were generated for invalid addressing modes.\r
- + Fixed flags for ASL, NEG, NEGX, DIVU, ADDX, SUBX, ROXR.\r
- + Bugs fixed in MOVEP, LINK, ADDQ, DIVS handlers.\r
- * Undocumented flags for CHK, ABCD, SBCD and NBCD are now emulated the same way as in Musashi.\r
- + Added Uninitialized Interrupt emulation.\r
- + Altered timing for about half of opcodes to match Musashi's.\r
-\r
-0.80\r
- * Nearly all VDP code was rewritten in ARM asm. Gives ~10-25% performance\r
- increase (depends on game).\r
- * Optimized 32-column renderer not to render tiles offscreen, games which\r
- use 32-column display (like Shining Force) run ~50% faster.\r
- + Added new "Alternative renderer", which gives another ~30-45% performance\r
- increase (in addition to mentioned above), but works only with some games,\r
- because it is missing some features (it uses tile-based rendering\r
- instead of default line-based and disables H-ints).\r
- + Added "fit2" display mode for all FC gamers. It always uses 208x146 for\r
- P800 and 208x208 for all other phones.\r
- + Added volume control for Motorolas (experimental).\r
-\r
- VDP changes:\r
- + Added support for vertical window (used by Vapor Trail, Mercs, GRIND\r
- Stormer and others).\r
- + Added sprite masking (hiding), adds some speed.\r
- + Added preliminary H counter emulation. Comix Zone and Sonic 3D Blast\r
- special stage are now playable.\r
- + Added column based vertical scrolling (Gunstar Heroes battleship level,\r
- Sonic and Knuckles lava boss, etc).\r
-\r
- Emulation changes:\r
- + Re-added and improved Z80 faking when Z80 is disabled. Many games now can\r
- be played without enabling Z80 (Lost Vikings, Syndicate, etc), but some\r
- still need it (International Superstar Soccer Deluxe).\r
- * Improved ym2612 timers, Outrun music plays at correct speed, voices in\r
- Earthworm Jim play better, more games play sound.\r
- * I/O registers now remember their values (needed for Pirates! Gold)\r
- + Added support for 6 button pad.\r
-\r
- Changes in Cyclone 0.0083wip:\r
- + Added missing CHK opcode (used by SeaQuest DSV).\r
- + Added missing TAS opcode (Gargoyles). As in real genesis, write-back phase\r
- is ignored (but is enabled for other systems).\r
-\r
- Backported stuff from Snes9x:\r
- * Fixed Pxxx jog up/down which were not working in game.\r
- + Added an option to gzip save states to save space.\r
- + The emulator now pauses whenever it is loosing focus, so it will now pause\r
- when alarm/ponecall/battery low/... windows come up.\r
- - Removed 'pause on phonecall' feature, as it is no longer needed.\r
- + Video fix for asian A1000s.\r
-\r
-0.70\r
- * Started using tools from "Symbian GCC Improvement Project", which give\r
- considerable speed increase (~4fps in "center 90" mode).\r
- * Rewrote some drawing routines in ARM assembly (gives ~6 more fps in\r
- "center 90" mode).\r
- * Minor improvement to 0 and 180 "fit" modes. Now they look slightly better\r
- and are faster.\r
- * Minor stability improvements (emulator is less likely to crash).\r
- + Added some background for OSD text for better readability.\r
- + Added Pal/NTSC detection. This is needed for proper sound speed.\r
- + Implemented Reesy's DrZ80 Z80 emu. Made some changes to it with hope to make\r
- it faster.\r
- + Implemented ym2612 emu from the MAME project. Runs well but sometimes sounds\r
- a bit weird. Could be a little faster, so made some changes too.\r
- + Implemented SN76489 emu from the MAME project.\r
- + Added two separate sound output methods (mediaserver and cmaudiofb) with\r
- autodetection (needs testing).\r
- * Fixed VDP DMA fill emulation (as described in Charles MacDonald's docs),\r
- fixes Contra and some other games.\r
-\r
-0.301\r
- Launcher:\r
- * Launcher now starts emulation process from current directory,\r
- not from hardcoded paths.\r
- * Improved 'pause on call' feature, should hopefully work with Motorola phones.\r
-\r
-0.30 (2006-01-07)\r
