Mame Gp2x 1.9

[Franxis]

16-03-2006: New MAME GP2X 1.9: http://www.talfi.net/gp32_franxis/

- Really faster (compiler settings, optimized memcpy in asm, etc).
- Support for extra 16 Mb of upper RAM memory. Enough to play Metal Slug with sound for example. Thx, Rlyeh and Unai.
- Some fixes in the sound (sound is not modified when a new game is selected and also during rotated scaled mode).
- Some fixes in the video (video buffer is bigger and there is no problem now with any game in all video modes).
- Street Fighter 2 Turbo fixed. Thx, Virucho28.
- Internal changes: All code is compiled now with GCC 4.0.2 (Z80 C core fixed) and with maximum optimization (Minimal lib fixed).

I can't keep up.. I think I am still using 1.6...

Thanks very much for the continued improvements.

Excellent. Good work, Franxis.

 

[TelcoLou]

Many many thanks Franxis

 

[grahf]

Wow what a nice surprise to get after work. I always look forward to your updates.

 

[Smiths]

can't wait to get home and throw this on the card. Curious about the "really faster" part

​

lol. Sounds like me. I have not even had a chance to try the previous version.

 

[bagmouse7]

Damn, you never dissapoint Franxis!
Another fantastic release.

 

[whiskthecat]

WHAO! Nice release. Gngeo2x better watch out.

 

[naples39]

Wow. Great release Franxis. I tried a few slower games like Street Fighter II, Super Sprint, Double Dragon and Final Fight, and they are all noticeably faster. Good stuff.

 

[craigix]

Wow, quite a bit faster! Best portable version of mame ever.

 

[grahf]

WHAO! Nice release. Gngeo2x better watch out.

​

I dont think they are really in competition. Mame is a jack of all trades, while gngeo is specialized. Each has their place.

Both of you guys are doing excellent work.

I unfortunately haven't recieved my GP2X quite yet... but i was wondering if marvel vs capcom runs on the current MAME version, if not, will it ever. If it does run now, how well is it working?
thanks!

​

You made another thread ... just to ask this question <_<

 

[fringus]

I know, I went on this thread to ask Franxis, like you told me to. Sorry if that isn't ok. I'm new at this.

 

[TelcoLou]

Franxis created this emulator ... click "PM" to send him a private message.

 

[fringus]

Ohhhh :wacko: sorry about that!

 

[beanfarmer]

yay mame type fun hope r-type works this time if not in future relieses is not on the gamelist.txt but heres hoping

edit: im not happy all i want to do is play arcade r-type oh well pce will have to do for now

 

[gluesniffined]

I just wanted to add that "really faster" is a gross understatement. This new version absolutely flies on a LOT of games at 200Mhz that needed 266Mhz before just to run choppy at best.

Awesome work!

Not a criticism, just a question....
Is there a reason for using the older MAME versions rather than the newest .104 version?

Keeping in mind that the last time I did programming it was in Applesoft BASIC (pr#6, raise the roof my brothers!) I was just wondering if there were programming related reasons for using older MAME versions.

Thanks again, your MAME port was the primary reason I bought my GP2x.
