eegt97 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Hi all, been a while. This release has some fixes/updates folks have bothered me about for years. Version 0.7.0 released* Update to SDL2* Mac 0S X support* Fixed: Remapped PC keypad keys don't work* Fixed: Joystick D-pad/Axis to Atari keypad /* keyboard doesn't work* Fixed: No keypad/keyboard after Load State* Fixed: Windows version AppData directory issue* Video: Passively use current display mode* Video: Auto fit to mode (no zoom needed)* Video: Allow window resize (no zoom needed)* Video: Don't stretch video, letterbox* Added: Config file location to GUI* Updated: Various 8-bit cart settingsNotes:* The database is updated after install if found.This may take several seconds depending on howbig the database is. Trying to go backwards to 0.6.2 withan updated database may result in crash. If you have spendconsiderable effort creating your config, I suggest backingup the kat5200.db3 file just in case.* Sound under Linux with ALSA is not good with SDL.Install PulseAudio and set the appropiate SDLenvironment variable (SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio).* Windows users need to install the Visual C++ 2015redistributable (x86 version). Get here:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 Please get from the site: http://kat5200.jillybunch.com Let me know any bugs and I will fix.

+LS650 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Oh wow - I just downloaded the old version about an hour ago to use with my new Win 10 laptop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Great to see this getting occasional updates still! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I did a quick test on about a half-dozen games. They all ran and were playable. Thanks for taking the time to do this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eegt97 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 I have a report that it does not work with Win XP. So don't upgrade if you run that. I will look into that but no guarantees, this may be the EOL for that OS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Yes...Awesome, Brian! At work now, but will have to try the new version later when I am at home. Off the bat, one thing that's an issue with the previous release is a problem with the POKEY sound, specifically under Popeye. Popeye's walk has (had?) a note/pitch that's "off". There's some sort of a slight 'ringing-type' of dissonance present. I can put together a video later if it would help. Regardless, very cool to see a new release for this emulator. Thank you!

eegt97 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi Trebor! Yeah, I have a re-written sound module I did like 8 years ago staring me in the face.... taunting me... come debug me... It is what I am going to look at next. I just think it is going to take a little more time than these updates did. Also, I put out an XP build on the site that *should* work. But I have no XP machine or VM to test with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
