Raine v0.97.4 - Released

Details

Category: Multiple Platform

Published: 13 January 2025

What's New:

Sorry to make a new release already, it's mainly to finish the previous one finally : after testing you could get the blue screen bug in mission 2 in shinobin (neogeo or neocd version) just by allowing the speed hacks in neogeo options in raine. You can get the same result if you use a rom cheat, and one of the cheats adapted from the original shinobi from mame is a rom cheat ! So really something had to be done ! So the main part :

- disabled the 2 rom checks in shinobin, neogeo and neocd version to be able to use a speed hack or a rom cheat without getting this crazy blue screen on mission 2
- added cheats converted from the original shinobi in mame, it's just a reassembled version, so you can find the corresponding offsets for this version

Except that :
- Portuguese and Italian are now correctly autodetected in windows when you run raine for the 1st time (without any config file). Sorry I forgot these 2 in windows, hey I don't have anyone to maintain the windows version, so I do it by default, but it's not what I prefer !
- The watch points work better in the console when using musashi (which means the 64 bits version), and watches on words, see the git log for the details, it's quite technical.
- Display again the neocd id after the short name of the game in the gui at the bottom of the screen. Just for neocd, not neogeo, that's where it's most useful when testing something which is not official. It was displayed before, but quite a long time ago.

It's quite short but after that nothing is planned for quite a while !

MAME Frontend - pfeMame v2.32.5 - Released

Details

Category: Multiple Platform

Published: 11 January 2025

What's New:

• Added a lot more logging of the MAME executable location process in FilePaths. I have done this in order to assist with major problems in the MacOS distributable version of pfeMAME no longer getting the right responses from subprocess when trying to run MAME from the system path rather than an absolute path.
• Modified the method used to find the MAME executable when auto-finding to try and be a bit more robust for MacOS.
• Simplified the icon code for the main menu
• Simplified the on_control_changed code in alternate emulator engines
• Fixed bug in panelslots.py that was generating bios names for all machine types for the selected system, rather that the specific system machine type (i.e. list was way too long and selections could be incorrect for the actual system)
• Simplified and made more pythonic a number of other sections of code in panelslots.py
• Fixed bugs in panelslots
