Cemu v1.17.3

March 19th, 2020, 18:30 Posted By: wraggster

Cemu v1.17.3 is released. Cemu is a Nintendo Wii U emulator that runs commercial games. Highly experimental software to emulate Wii U applications on PC.

Cemu Changelog:
general: Added a workaround for Cemu not launching on Windows 10 1709
general: Added button for checking online mode requirements to account settings

gamelist: Improved identification of updates/dlc
gamelist: Games which are identified as an update will again show up in the list, but only if no base game is found
This is a workaround for modified game dumps where the update data was merged into the base game. Please always use the File -> Install update/dlc option in Cemu
gamelist: Fixed a bug where a game could appear more than once if multiple game paths were set

CPU/JIT: Code translation (PPC -> x64) is now done asynchronously on a separate thread
The previous implementation would do translation synchronously on the CPU emulation thread.
This could lead to micro stutter in situations where a game hit a lot of new code (e.g. on first loading screen)

OpenGL/Vulkan: Added a safeguard to prevent crashes when games try to use a depth texture with an invalid format
Vulkan: Fixed an issue where depth to color texture copies would use the wrong shader

coreinit: Fixed a crash in OSCalendarTimeToTicks (#268)

nn_boss: Fixed SpotPass always assuming an id of 80000001 instead of using the one selected by the user

Note:
(#xx) refers to bug tracker issues resolved by this change. See http://bugs.cemu.info/projects/cemu/

MMC1
MMC2
MMC3
MMC4

Gambatte SpeedRun R6 Build 717

March 19th, 2020, 18:24 Posted By: wraggster

Gambatte SpeedRun R6 Build 717 is released. Fork of https://github.com/sinamas/gambatte with changes related to Pokemon speedrunning. Gambatte is an accuracy-focused, cross-platform Game Boy Color emulator. It is based on a few thousand corner-case hardware tests, as well as previous documentation and reverse engineering efforts.

Gambatte SpeedRun Changelog:
Emulation accuracy
Merged all 2019 upstream gambatte accuracy updates by sinamas (fixes TCG, Crystal Clear, perhaps others)
Fixed emulation of some original Game Boy games (i.e. no GBC enhancements) on GBC/GBA/GBP (mostly affects non-Pokemon games)
Hard reset rework
Subframe hard resets now supported on GBP platform (Gen 2 save corruption routes, TCG card duplication should have parity with console)
Game audio now cuts immediately when the hard reset fade begins, to match GBP behavior
Rare quirky behavior (e.g. resets that take 1 or many frames too long, or Blue NSC crash where hard reset was never processed) should be mostly mitigated
Input handling fixes
Simultaneous Up+Down or Left+Right inputs now have proper "cancellation" behavior to match GBP
Using the same keyboard/joystick input for multiple GB inputs is no longer possible (was already "not allowed")
Fixed stray issues with German/Portuguese keyboard layouts (and perhaps others) that could cause numerous erratic behaviors
Added warning when using Shift as a bound key (causes issues when used in combination with keys "modified" by Shift)
Added a deadzone threshold configuration option for joystick users
Miscellaneous
Added official support for macOS 10.13+; binaries will be added with the upcoming release
Instant .sav creation for Gen 1/2 and TCG (at end of game's save routine)
Initial bootrom "error message" for first-time users was made slightly more informative
Fixed bug with default input settings for first-time users; other default settings also made more sensible
Savestates from r649/r664 should remain unaffected by changes (autosplitters are mostly ok, but will need updating to detect the new gambatte_speedrun.exe program name)

MegaZeux 2.92c released

March 18th, 2020, 21:55 Posted By: wraggster

MegaZeux (or MZX) is a game creation system (GCS) initially released in late 1994 by Alexis Janson. MegaZeux is heavily inspired by Tim Sweeney's ZZT. Like ZZT, MZX was originally released as shareware and the world editor portion of the program was included for free, allowing third parties to create their own worlds without even registering.
MZX is officially supported on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Android, Nintendo DS, 3DS, Wii, Switch, and the PSP. Older ports exist for AmigaOS 4, GP2X, and Pandora. MZX has also been ported to other platforms such as OpenSolaris, HaikuOS, and the Sega Dreamcast.
