Addition IV: Savestates (and some other things)
this has been added/changed:
- Savestates
- change softstretch-modes on the fly
- toggle fullscreen/windowed
- UAE core instead of Cyclone
- removed GP2X stuff
- added description in load-menu (which button for which diskdrive)
- maybe: EHB palette & HAM modes fix (because I've replaced a lot of sources with the ones from the N900-port where that has been fixed)
For Savestates use the new menu "Savestates" where you can save and load up to 4 savestates per game.
You can also "quicksave" with
L-Trigger+S while emulating and "quickload" with
L-Trigger+L. Quicksave and quickload will automatically use the currently selected savestate-slot in the Savestates-menu (initially always the first slot "0").
During emulation (outside the menu) you can switch between fullscreen- and windowed-mode by pressing
F12 (that's
Fn+P on your Pandora). Didn't test yet but it could be that the stylus works when you're in windowed mode.
At the start after selecting the refresh rate you now only get to decide between "Doubled Mode (fast)" and "Softstretched Modes":
"Doubled Mode" is just the default fast "320x240 pixels doubled to 640x480 pixels"-mode.
"Softstretched Modes" starts in "320x256 pixels stretched to 608x480 pixels"-mode (full PAL display).
During emulation you can now toggle between the four available softstretch-modes at any time:
- L-Trigger + 1: 320x256 stretched to 608x480 (full PAL)
- L-Trigger + 2: 320x216 stretched to 716x480 (full height for Turrican I&II and Beast II)
- L-Trigger + 3: 320x200 stretched to 768x480 (using full height for 320x200 PAL games)
- L-Trigger + 4: 320x200 stretched to 640x480 (NTSC mode for 320x200 NTSC games) (
)
The window where you decide between "doubled mode" and "softstretched modes" also always displays info about this (plus explains how to use the vertical adjustment-feature).
So far I've only tested Hunter and Lotus and didn't notice them to run any slower than with Cyclone. (Note that FAME/C is still also partially used now.) Please give feedback about speed differences between this and the Cyclone-version.
Download the new version from here:
http://www.filefront.com/16998573/uae4all.zip
Unpack it with "unzip -e uae4all.zip" somewhere on your SD-card.
Add your kickstart 1.3-file either named "kick13.rom" into the "kickstarts"-subdir or put it in the same dir where uae4all is and name it "kick.rom".
Put some ADFs into the "roms"-subdir.
Finally call
./runme.sh (from terminal or filemanager or create a shortcut to it).
edit: Didn't change the Readme yet. Just ignore the part about keyboard not working yet. It works fine (aside from the arrow-keys).
@silver & notaz: Thanks for the info.
