Raw Blame History

1.7.1 (future)

  • 3DS: Now correctly reports amount of CPU cores.
  • 3DS: Frontend rating is now correctly implemented for both New 3DS/2DS and Old 3DS/2DS.
  • 3DS: Initial networking support, HTTP requests won't work yet.
  • 3DS: Now reports memory and battery state.
  • AUDIO: Added 'Audio Resampler Quality' setting to Audio Settings. Setting this higher will increase sound quality at the expense of sound latency and/or performance. Setting this value lower will improve sound latency/performance at the expense of sound quality. Only has an effect if the Sinc resampler is used, and you have to restart the game for changes to take effect.
  • CHEEVOS: Fix unofficial achievements not being loaded.
  • CHEEVOS: Show savestate menu entries when no achievements are found even if hardcore mode is enabled.
  • CHEEVOS: Support Neo Geo Pocket.
  • COMMON: Bugfix for issue related to 'Windows mouse pointer visible when running MESS or MAME cores'.

  • COMMON: New LED API. Driver implemented for Raspberry Pi, proof of concept implemented for core MAME 2003.
  • COMMON: Add quick menu option to watch shader files for changes and recompile them automatically (Linux only for now).

  • GUI/XMB: Allow changing menu scale to 200%.
  • GUI/XMB: Works now with D3D8, D3D9 Cg, D3D11 and D3D12 drivers. Menu shader effects currently don't work on D3D8/D3D9 Cg.

  • SHADERS: Allow saving of shader presets based on the parent directory (Saving one for /foo/bar/mario.sfc would result in shaders/presets/corename/bar.ext). We decided it's safer to still isolate the presets to a single core because different cores may treat video output differently.
  • SHADERS: Don't save the path to the current preset to the main config. This was causing weird behavior, instead it will try to load currentconfig.ext and it will save a preset with that name when select apply shader preset. The resulting shader will restore properly after restarting and even after core/parent/game specific presets are loaded
