What's New:
- The 7-Zip library (7z.dll) is now supported. Said DLL is now included with the latest version of the DLL Package, which should be automatically re-downloaded and extracted during the normal update process. In addition to enabling support for .7z archives (and a few other types), the 7z interface also supplants the old zlib interface for .zip files (although it will still be used as a fallback in case 7z.dll is unavailable.) The new interface includes better technology, such as archive caching.
- The floppy drive LED panes now turn yellow while a disk is being written to.
- If Control is depressed while selecting a MIDI reset command in the options, the selected reset command will be issued to the device. (It will not account for unapplied changes to the output device, however.) Double-clicking also has the same effect.
- Clicking the text on either side of MIDI Input/Output Delay in the options will now toggle the value between its default and minimum.
Bug fixes:
- DirectDraw was sometimes being initialized unnecessarily.
- MIDI output data was getting lost under certain circumstances.
- A certain (valid) MIDI command was being issued, probably unnecessarily, that was causing the MIDI interface for the on-board synthesizer engine of sound cards from a particular manufacturer to stop outputting sound until the device was reopened. (The X68000 itself is not prohibited from sending such messages, although it probably doesn't happen in practice.)
- Game name detection (as used with the notes files) had some weaknesses.
What's New:
General
- Fixed sound buffer underrun behaviour, it will now cause a small glitch and no longer disable sound or flood the log with warnings.
- Do not write the log to a file instead of stdout when stdout is already redirected to a file or pipe, so we can do just that on the shell.
- At exit, put quotes around parameters of the regenerated command line options so eg filenames with spaces in them will not break it.
- Suppress warnings about duplicated labels when playing back monitor commands to make mrsid a happy bunny.
- For cartridges that contain RAM that can be loaded from (and saved to) a file, do not init RAM on powerup if backed up by a file (mimic battery backup).
- Do not clear the keyboard input when a 'reset' hotkey was pressed. this allows to "hold" keys when pressing reset, for example "run/stop" when resetting FC3. Note that this still is limited by various other things, like the keyboard mapping and keys reserved by your window manager.
- FFMPEG recordings now default to mp4/h264/AAC instead of some divx avi bullshit.
- On smart attach automatically change the drive type also when not autostarting.
- In some cases the wrong drive was selected automatically on smart attach.
- Fixed sampler file loading.
Build System
- Version x.y.0 builds will now generate a version number of x.y (no .0). Additionally, support for semver style build labels has been added, allowing versions such as 3.6-beta, 3.6.1-beta, etc.
- Make configure check for *both* avresample and swresample, prefer swresample.
- MacOS bindist support for bundling avresample.
C64 fixes
- Added belgian/dutch keymap provided by sorex.
- Added support for the 21sec backup parallel cable.
- Set default ram size for ramlink to 16mb, enable it on ROM attach.
- Fix ramlink API calls for slot0, add missing ROM image setting to UIs.
C128 fixes
- Various MMU mapping fixes.
GTK3 fixes
- Tracked down and helped fixing an upstream GTK bug that made VICE crash on any keypress under certain conditions, making VICE work again for Jazzcat :)
- Fixed default joystick/gamecontroller mappings on Windows/Linux/MacOS.
- Fixed mapping logic to handle multiple events and duplicate mappings correctly.
- Allow negative coordinates for windows, this should fix restoring the window position that was broken on some multi-monitor setups.
- Monitor: remember and restore VTE window size and position.
* Make the monitor window "remember" its position and size between invocations.
* Allow setting the position and size via command line, using `-monitorxpos`, `-monitorypos`, `-monitorwidth` and `-monitorheight`.
* Position and size is saved along with the settings.
- Made joystick/control port tabs only show the extra ports when they are available.
- Mouse pointer changes shape when hovering over clickable status bar items.
- CPU speed / FPS settings added to the main menu.
- Correctly use the LED colors for drives > 8.
- Fixed drive/tap popup menu labels, only display "#8:0" etc if the drive is a dual drive device in the context menus and directory popup menus. Only show "Directory of tape #1/#2" in xpet, show "Directory of tape" in other emulators.
- Added statusbar led for shiftlock.
- Added clickable 40/80colums LED to x128.
- Added clickable LED for the CAPS aka DIN/ASCII key in x128.
- Properly update both keyboard debugging widgets on x128.
- Don't grey-out sound setting widgets when sound is disabled, so configuration can be changed before enabling sound again.
- Various fixes related to the new hotkeys feature:
* Allow for a few more modifiers when setting hotkeys.
* Filter certain modifiers that are only getting in the way (eg numlock).
* Remove old hotkey from the table when redefining.
* Make Return/Enter trigger Accept in the dialog, make Escape trigger Cancel.
* Only show actions that have a corresponding menu item.
* Use hardware keycodes to figure out the key that was pressed. fixes eg the situation on macOS that hotkeys could not be defined because they produce various symbols.
SDL fixes
- Fixed mapping logic to handle multiple events and duplicate mappings correctly.
MacOS fixes
- Fixed macOS bindist not working if placed in path with a space in it. Also the runtime cwd will now default to the user’s home directory, unless launched using the CLI scripts in the root bin folder in which case the current cwd will be preserved.
- Gtk3: added MacOS specific .vhk (hotkey) files.
- FFMPEG recordings now work on Apple Silicon binary distributions
- The launcher .app apps no longer require Rosetta on Apple Silicon

What's New:
- 3DS: Add Jaxe, A5200 and WASM4 cores
- 3DS: Fix rotation
- ARCHIVE: Allow loading files from archive subdirectory
- AUDIO: Remove frame limit from audio batch callback. Before, if a core used the audio batch callback, there would be a hidden cap of 1024 on the number of audio frames that could be sent. If a core exceeded this value, any excess samples were silently discarded. While this is sufficient for ‘normal’ samplerates/framerates, it means that e.g. a core using the batch callback to send 44100 Hz audio at 30 fps with would have entirely broken sound. This has been fixed by removing the audio batch frame limit.

Change
- Adjusted so that when the current screen mode (integer multiple enlargement) of full screen mode in status non-display is set, a larger screen can be displayed when the screen ratio is Y: 400 or more and less than 480 with respect to X: 640.
- Added 3x (1920x1200) and 4x (2560x1600) to the display size. Also supports when the external image filter is OFF. Due to the margins on the operation setting screen, only the external image filter ON / OFF setting is set, and the resolution setting is changed to only select from the GUI menu.
- Added MB273xx series (0.899) and FMTV-xxx series (0.833) setting buttons to the aspect ratio setting dialog.
Correction
- Fixed an issue where dust may be displayed in the four corners of the screen when the current screen mode (integer magnification) is set in full screen mode.
- Fixed the problem that the mounts of drives 2 and 3 are not displayed properly in FM-77 mode when 320KB FDD is set to OFF (V1).
- Unify the format by removing the "." At the end of the dialog item.
What's New:
- Fixed issues in full screen with fixed aspect ratios and garbage being displayed on the screen.
