Raine v0.94.10 - Released

Details: Category: Windows; Published: 08 January 2023

What's New:

0.94.10
- added some rnd() function to the console to get some random number, help included, I also added some help for the basic peek/dpeek/lpeek functions.
- New GUI options : "background animation" to eventually stop the background animation for those who suffer from motion sickness, and "Autostart drivers", essentially for me, when I don't want the driver to start in the background as soon as it's loaded.
- some minor text changes "Action Replay cheats" -> "Game cheats".

0.94.9
- it's mostly the big update of the translations. I couldn't contact the spanish or the italian translator, so only the french and brazilian ones are really updated, for the others it's just the minimum updates so that they continue to work. mer-curious sent more patches to change some texts in the english GUI too.
- added some console functions to handle save states from a post in the forum, we'll see if it's useful or not
- added the ability to choose a japanese font, see the thread about that in the forum for details (it's optional). For the drivers which had a japanese name, you can now see it from the About dialog, "Driver information"
- fix a weird crash in windows 64 bits only when using -nogui and a cps2 game (probably related to gcc, used a dummy statement to work around it), and fix another bug related to -nogui when you call the cheat dialog using the keyboard shortcut despite the fact that you started with -nogui !
- arkangc : finally discovered that the 1st bit of the dipswitch is used for the initial ball speed in this version, it's now handled correctly (I used the cheats to control the ball speed with it so far).
- fixed some bug in the controls related to mouse buttons, especially for the right mouse button (found out while trying to use the new trick to access the 50 last levels in "arkanoid returns", there is another topic in the forum about that).
- fixed controller mapping while translating it : the joystick index was wrong, and the window to define the mapping only appeared the 1st time you used this function !

Nintendo Entertainment System Emulator - puNES v0.110 - Released

Details: Category: Multiple Platform; Published: 08 January 2023

What's New:

Added support to Wayland.
- Added support for "Fullscreen in window" with Wayland (the only type of fullscreen supported for now).
- Added iNES/NES 2.0 header editor.
- Added support for "Family Basic Keyboard" and "Subor Keyboard".
* It's possible to capture and release keyboard input with the shortcut "Scrollock" and open and close a virtual keyboard with "CTRL+X".
* Implemented the "Paste" function. It's possible to paste the text by dragging it in the main window of the emulator or copying it and then press the right mouse button and selecting "Paste". The text will be inserted through the simulation of the pressure of the keys and it will always be possible to interrupt the insertion by pressing the ESC key. During the paste, the Fast Forwarding will be active to reduce the waiting time.
* Added support for the tape data recorder. Added a "Tape" submenu in the "NES" menu, also the same menu is present in the context menu of the main window (right click) when the Keyboard is in use. By default I use my own format for tape images but you can also save and load tape images in Virtuanes and Nestopia format.
- Added a shortcut "M" to simulate a shout in the microphone of the second controller.
- Renamed "Fast Forward" shortcut to "Toggle Fast Forward" and added a new "Fast Forward (hold button)" shortcut.
- Added a Wizard to select the operating mode (portable mode or not) the first time the emulator is run.
- (Info for those who already used the emulator) To run in portable mode there are 3 distinct ways:
* If the executable is in a folder containing the puNES.cfg file.
* Rename the executable by adding the suffix _p. (Examples: punes.exe -> punes_p.exe or punes64.exe -> punes64_p.exe)
* Run the emulator with the "--portable" option.
