Thanks I regressed that Sonic talking is the worst thing ever, until now.. time to drink that memory away.

^OMG, I was thinking Sonic dating an underaged girl while spitting out 90-ish one liners in Sonic Generations was horrid enough. What kinda of drug are the sonic team smoking man, I want some. 
 
May I ask if there is a official release in the repo  for the updated pnd (more complete dynarec) planned?

Yes, I will do that, but I first want to add a few other thing... I'm working on many things at the same time, so unfortunately, all them go slowly...
 
I took some screenshots of the status screen in Skies of Arcadia. The shadows obscure a lot of the information.

I also included a VMU save (NTSC-U) at the first save point after the lengthy intro. Remove .txt extension to test.

Load the save game and press the Pandora A button to bring up the status screen.

New build on the repo.

Some little notes about this build.

  • I still notice that, sometimes, game crashes and when I releaunch, it just work (mainly after the 50/60Hz selection screen). 
  • The FrameSkip is ON by default. Press "f" to switch it OFF (and f to ON again). I try to skip as much CPU Task as I can, but it doesn't seems to change anything. In fact, reicast is already dropping frame automaticaly, so the forced frameskip has little effect.
  • The Sound off, again, tries to skip some of the CPU part of the sound (the mixing part). I haven't seen much change either. And sometimes, the Game will wait if sound is off (just put it on it that case). Not sure those 2 options will stay for long...
  • Some OSD display is really missing, so maybe I'll try to implement that later

Anyway, enjoy the new build...

build 04

-----------

  • In synch with r6 release
  • Added a few opcode to dynarec, optimized by cal84maniac
  • Better Zenity menu, thanks to dgame
  • Right Nub can be configured on the fly
    Use "n" to silently switch mode
  • Mode are "none", "up/down->R/L", "left/right->L/R", "ABXY"
[*]Use "f" to switch frameskip on/off (on by default)
[*]Use "s" to switch sound (on by default)
[*]Still no OSD for now
 
awesome work guys! i am really excited to have this. has anyone tried soul calibur yet? seems like it could run well since there is not a lot of complex 3d geometry in the levels. soul calibur on pandora would rock!


Edit: never mind! just saw it on the compatibility list. first game I am going to try :) too bad I only have a cc. now i have a good reason to upgrade.

Yes, the SnapSnap Timer in the SnapSnap Screenshot Utility http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=snapsnap.install

However on my system (1.60RC) the SnapSnap Screenshot Utility tries to write to NAND.

Line 10 in snapsnapT.sh as a typo, it references mmcblk0p which should be mmcblk0 (without the 'p' at the end)

So line 10:


dir=$(mount | awk '/^\/dev\/mmcblk0p/ {print $3}')
Should be:


dir=$(mount | awk '/^\/dev\/mmcblk0/ {print $3}')
I have attached snapsnapT.sh.txt with the change to line 10. 

To test it rename snapsnapT.sh.txt to snapsnapT.sh and put it in your /pandora/appdata/snaptimer folder.

EDIT: This only fixes the SnapSnap Timer (needed to take screenshots of Reicast), the full SnapSnap fix is here: http://boards.openpandora.org/topic/7109-snapsnap-take-easy-screenshots-repo-release/?p=304816

I've been noticing that the audio which plays during the startup of the Dreamcast is staticy sounding in the new build.

Doesn't do anything.

f makes no different

s sound keeps playing

Do I have to delete appdata folder?

Also my Sonic is a lot slower than then one from Ingo's video.

Really? I work on my side, that's odd (the sound switch, because the frameskip switch has no visible effect on my tests).

Yes I have notice that too. Not sure where does that come from.
 
When I disable then re-enable the sound in Grandia 2 while in a battle, the BGM is missing.
