Release history

• Improved open bus emulation, fixes missing ground in some SMB3 levels.
• Improved auto frameskip behavior in cases when emu is not fast enough to maintain 50/60 fps.
• Fixed a bug which prevented some key combo configurations from working.
• Some other minor changes.

• Added optional "Accurate renderer", which is the original FCE Ultra 0.98.x renderer + PPU emulation code. It's much slower, but it can handle games which need more precise PPU timing emulation (like Marble Madness).
• Fixed saving and loading of game specific configs.
• Some other minor changes.

• Added A r k's fast-direction-change fix for usbjoy lib.
• Fixed an issue of usbjoys stopping to work when "Perfect vsync" is enabled.

• Fixed savestate subsections (were causing some mapper data not to be saved).
• Fixed an issue of MapIRQHook getting lost after loading a savestate (glitched Akumajou Densetsu and other games after savestate load).
• A bug, which prevented configuring multiple USB pads fixed.
• Fixed sound breaking bug after switching it on/off multiple times.
• Added "Perfect VSYNC" option, which changes GP2X refresh rate and syncs emu timing to LCD vsync.
• Fixed IPS patch support.

• Lots of work on the asm core. Timing fixed for some instructions. Some missing undocumented instruction handlers added. Lots of tweaking to make it compatible with all that mapper code.
• Completely new PicoDrive style menu added with most standard FCE Ultra and some additional options. Selector removed, ROM list is now built-in and only limited by available memory.
• Merged in most of code from 0.98.1x versions. Only ppu/rendering and sound emulation code left from 0.81 (which is less accurate but much faster).
• Default palette changed to one from later versions.
• Fixed some alignment problems in MMC5 and some other mappers.
• Some generic optimizations and code cleanup/refactoring.
• The built-in NSF player fixed.
• Authentic GameGenie support fixed.
• FDS support fixed.
• VS Unisystem support fixed.
• Ingame saves fixed (not sure when they got broken).
• Increased maximum sound volume.
• Added Zapper emulation just for fun.
• Added partial FCM movie support.
• Fixed some memory leaks.
• Fixed a bug which caused USB connection from GP2X menu to hang after using gpfce.
• Software scaler added.
• USB gamepad support added.
• TV out fixed.
• Documentation updated.

• Major improvement: added ARM asm CPU core from LJGP32, which itself was adapted from FCA by Yoyofr. The core required substantial changes to make it work in FCE ultra.
• The emulator renders directly to frame buffer now (previously it was drawing to offscreen buffer, which was then copied to framebuffer).
• Squidge's MMU hack added.
• Added sync() calls after savestate writes.
• Some additional tweaking here and there to get a few more FPS.
• Volume middle now can be used as shift to emulator functions instead stick click (saving, stretching, etc.).
• Added frameskip selection with shift+A and shift+Y (shift is stick click or volume middle).
• Probably some more changes I forgot about.
