New Castaway/GP 009!

Get it here:

Check the README -- you'll need to install STGAMES.TXT to take advantage of the new stuff.

Pushign SELECT will look the selected disk image up in the database and show you the games that are on it, if a match is found. You can also delete disk images right from the disk selection screen, now

I will publish a tool ASAP to let people add to the database, so that we can grow it, and maybe after a week or two we'll have all the disks covered (yeah right

The database as is now includes about 600 disks I think; almost all of the Automaiton disks, but few other groups, and few standalone games. Time to grow the database I've still got some files to merge in though, I think.

Huh ( :huh: )?

Thought this was 008...? We skipped a calendar day this time, didn't we?

 

[stickofjoy]

i thought you had a todo list of 650 items, jeff? how could we be running out of things to add?

when will focus shift from emu options to compatibility of the emu core? after the source code has been released?

so many questions!

No more pissing around rying to remember what game is where when I forget to rename the disk images (again!).

Cheers!

Naaah; 007, 007.1, 008, so right on track. Yesterdays could've been 008 to be on calendar days, but it wasn't worth a whole point. Or did I lose another day?

Ah well, can't keep the release-per-day up forever, so 008 is on the 9th, and who knows when 010 will be I'm hoping ti can sit for a bvit, and I can upgrade the games database for awhile (since you can upgrade it without updating the castaway main binary

650 items for my personal and main projects todo list (ie: The porojects that pay the bills

Castaway's list is pretty short, as its come pretty darned far and I've checked off most of the todos already

The emu core.. I can only do so much with, I think, due to real life time limits; I'm already spending far too much time hacking on Castaway when my other projects (that pay the bills) are falling behind So likely things will slow down in the castaway core for awhile. Theres some fixes and things I hope to attack to bring some more games compatible.. but its already pretty solid.

As to the source, it'll come out probably after the competition ends; I want to let it out after I've stopped mucking in it every day (ie: doesnt' help anyone much if I'm chanfging it all the time, so its constantly out of date). Since the conterst is in a month or so, it seems a good time.. I'll likely have run out of "easy" things to fix, so I can make a nice source bundle and pop it out, and then work on fixes and such.

Jeff, any chance of adding a nice Fuji logo when the emu fires up? Just like TOS 2 did on the Falcon?
