[SEGA] QT Yabause 0.9.14

Yabause 0.9.14

It’s come to our attention there’s some issues with the Windows 32-bit build. I would suggest if you can run the 64-bit build to do so at this point. I’ll try to find a fix for this release, but any future releases will no longer have an official 32-bit Windows build. Consider it deprecated.

Update: A working build has been uploaded.

 general:

•  Fixed crash when bin is not found in a bin/cue.
•   Added Traditional Chinese translation.
•   Added Japanese translation.
•   Added Russian translation.
•   Updated German translation.
•   Added inline SH2 assembler function to main emulation code.
•   Fixed miscellaneous memory leak/uninitialized variables.
•   Added Stunner/Virtua Gun emulation
•   Added USB Dev cartridge emulation
•   Added SDL2 support

 android port:

•   Added screenshot feature to Android port

 emulated bios:

• Work around fix for games trying to change scu mask from slave sh2 when using hle bios. Fixes Astal.

 gtk port:

•   Added extra checks to resolution setting to avoid potential leaks or crashing.

 macos port:

•  A few fixes to the Xcode projects for OS X
•  Fixed fullscreen mode when compiled with a newer OS X SDK

 qt port:

•  Fixed an issue where coff/elf files weren't selectable when using memory transfer function.
•  Fixed a bug where qt volume slider wasn't showing the saved value on startup.
•  Mouse will now optionally auto-hide with no movement
•  Added gui for inline assembler.
•   Revised Mouse emulation handling, added sensitivity setting.
•   Other fixes

 dreamcast port:

•  Fixed compilation

 video:

•  Fixed a bug where coordinate y increment wasn't being initialized under a specific set of circumstances. Should fix hang in Radiant Silvergun using OpenGL rendering.
•  Fixed Special Color Calculation mode 2

0.9.14 -> 0.9.15

Here’s a new Yabause version.
Arguably, the most notable features of this release are:

• Low-level CD Block emulation
  
• CloneCD file format support
  
• High resolution for the software renderer

We also included code from other great projects:

• Musashi 68K core (code by Karl Stenerud)
  
• SSF sound format playing (code by R. Belmont, Richard Bannister, Neil Corlett)

As many of you should already be aware, Yabause was forked into a new project, uoYabause, by devmiyax. We included some of his fixes back into Yabause. Due to lack of maintainer, this release will be the last to include a gtk port.
