Trebor Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Gotta try this with kenfused latest posting for Beef Drop (09 Jan 2005 - 00:42). Use the file Bd78pok.a78 and get ready to play, see and *hear* Beef Drop in all its glory! Sounds fantastic. Great work to MESS team and of course Kenfused, for his fixes to 7800 emulation/driver and all his hard work with Beef Drop! -Trebor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Here's a complete list of changes. I really wish they'd just put this on the website or in a readme--I have to download the app on a Windows PC, run it, and then look at the help file to see the changelog! 0.90 New System Drivers Supported (in no particular order): ------------------------------------------------------ - Amiga (readded; based on MAME Arcadia work) [Nate Woods, Mariusz Wojcieszek] System Driver Changes: ---------------------- - [A7800] Changed driver to use MAME/MESS standard 6532 RIOT code. [Ken Siders] - [AT] Marked driver as compatible with IBM-PC. [Nate Woods] - [bBC] BBCB1770 merged into BBCB. Also modernized the driver, added tape and split mode support. [Gordon Jefferyes] - [COCO] Fixed a bug in DMK image creation that caused MESS and Imgtool to always zero count sectors when created. (bug #630) [Nate Woods] - [COCO3] Fixed a regression that prevented cartridges from loading on startup. [Nate Woods] - [COCO3] Fixed a regression that prevented hires text blinking from updating properly. (bug #628) [Nate Woods] - [COCO3H] Fixed a bug in the 6309 LDBT/STBT instructions.

+Mitch Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hmm, you mean like this? It looks like Ken's new Pokey code has been added so that should be in next months release. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Ken's Kung Fu is strong with the Atari 7800 in MESS. Maybe when he's done with Beef Drop, we can corral him to take a look at Kung Fu Master 7800, to figure out why No 7800 emulator seems to get it right....

Albert Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hmm, you mean like this? I have looked through the CVS tree before, but it's not an obvious place to look and there are usually newer submissions than the fresh "release". I would really like to see a "What's New" page on the site (and update it with each release) or include the list of changes as part of their news when they post new versions. Even a link to the proper CVS page with the latest "messnew.txt" file would be an improvement. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Still no chance of a Mac update in the near future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 I'll try asking about the Mac version. They were doing some work on it a month or so ago but I don't know what the status is right now. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
