Altirra 3.90 released

For some reason the display menu doesn't work for me. Selecting it does nothing.

Just discovered this, I'm having a blast. Thanks Mclaneinc (and Starwindz, wherever you are)! 

 

Is the source available? 

 

There is one modification I would love: I wish the cover art was featured on the main screen, along with the screen shots.

Ok, here is a legitimate feature request: 

 

Currently, quick save and quick load save to memory only. Instead, can you have them save and load to a generic file, ie. jumpman_quicksave.state? This is standard behavior in other emulators.

 

I have never yet remembered to safe the file before exiting the program!

There is already. Did you try going to Tools/Keyboard Shortcuts and set it up to key you want. Look under Global File.QuickLoadState and File.QuickSaveState and assign a keyboard shortcut for those.

How did I miss that??? Thanks!

BTW, thanks a ton for helping me to get my personal "crt" pixel shader working in Altirra. 

 

It might not be to anyone's taste but mine, but I've been having a blast.

Hey Avery, any chance you can implement hotkeys for quick save and quick load? 

 

I searched for this, and I have you on record, "looking into" this feature...

The custom shader compiler uses vs2.0/ps2.0 by default for best compatibility when using precompiled shaders. Use this line to force SM3:

shader_profile_d3d9 = 3_0

 

Works, thanks!

 

Another question: Shader scaling works differently than Retroarch. Retroarch, by default, does this: 

 

Source -> Shade and Scale -> Display

 

This is what I want, but I can't figure out how to do it in Altirra. 

 

In Altirra, by default it does: 

 

Source -> Shade -> Scale -> Display

 

Playing with the .cgp scale_ options, I can get: 

 

Source -> Scale -> Shade -> Display

 

But neither of these works for me. How do I shade and scale in the same operation?

phaeron, 

 

Is there any chance you can compile cg shaders with ps 3.0? I think it would greatly improve compatibility, and I think it might be as simple as passing a different enum to the compile call. My own shader gets the error:

 

'shader uses texture addressing operations in a dependency chain that is too complex for the target shader model (ps_2_0) to compile.'

 

Thanks for making what is indisputably the best atari 8-bit emulator!!
