"r4658
GSdx: Small change to the Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 hackfix, no more flickering for the PAL version and no more missing/transparent body parts.
r4659
GSdx: Small change to the small change to the Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 hackfix... space stage had blur still.
Commented out the Rez hackfix code, seems it's not needed anymore.
r4660
microVU: Fixed a bug I had in the handling of indirect jumps that are placed in a branch delay slot. This fixes the game "The Thing" and I think makes it playable although I didn't test it much.
Might fix problems in other games that were doing this too.
The bug was kind-of funny, it was an old line of code I had forgotten to delete xD
I also improved the console message for branch in branch delay slots to actually say the names of the branches."

* Miscellaneous improvements and bug fixes."

Lambnes v0.0.4
"- separated background sprite tile drawing from main draw scanline method.
- corrected background tile MSB.
- worked on sprite 0.
- improved the design and efficiency of gui source code."
Source
SSNES v0.5
"- Fix "missing buttons" input handling. Previous versions seemed to handle certain key presses in GUI, but didn´t always in CLI. This should be fixed, if some buttons still don´t respond, please report.
Added a notifying message to GUI about this.
- Fix bug in XML cheat handling on Win32.
- Reworked aspect ratio calculations for windowed mode. If force_aspect is enabled, xscale and yscale are calculated with respect to the aspect ratio. If not, it will be calculated with respect to the native SNES base resolution 256x224.
- Added new frame counter uniforms to XML shader and Cg shader interfaces for dynamic shaders.
(XML: uniform int rubyFrameCount;, Cg: float IN.frame_count).
- Added Makefiles and libraries to Github for building with Win64.
- Added possibility of booting Super Gameboy/BSX/Sufami roms from GUI.
- Added possibility to crop overscanned SNES frames (256x239 and interlaced variants) to regular resolution.
- Added .bmp screenshot support.
- Introduced new external plugin APIs. SSNES can now utilize video, audio, input drivers written using an external API. Audio DSP plugins are also supported with an external API.
The header definitions can be found on Github.
- Update DSP API a bit. Supports configuration callback (mapped to a keybind) which can easily support a GUI-ified plugin.
- Purged all default joypad buttons and axes from default config. Should fix that weird "why does some random button do this?" D:
- Added preliminary support for lookup textures in XML shaders. So far non-standard, semantics need to be discussed further. It currently supports plain TGA without extra libs, but can support "everything" through imlib2 if compiled in.
- GUI now checks if ssnes.cfg and ssnes-phoenix.cfg can be found in directory it resides in. If so, use that config. Should support completely portable folders. Since the behavior has changed now somewhat, if you have problems with weird config behavior, please delete or move configs.
- Fixed an awkward bug in Win32, where configs wouldn´t always write to disk. (Relative paths are bad, mmkay?)
- Should fix some keys, notably tilde (SDLK_BACKQUOTE).
- Added an SSE3-optimized IIR filter as an example for DSP plugin.
- Fixed default config path in certain Linux distros where $XDG_CONFIG_HOME isn´t even defined (wtf?!?!).
- Fixed more bugs regarding config handling in GUI in general.
- Included ssnes.cfg and ssnes-phoenix.cfg (empty) in Win32 release. The setup is thus portable from the get-go!
- Added Cg build possibilities to Makefile.win32/64."

Atari800macX v4.4.0
"Features Added/Changed:
- Added support for 512 byte sector SpartaDos X ATR disk images.
Bugs Fixed:
- Fixed bug where erroneously long frame sleeps caused emulator to lock up.
- Fixed issue with window miniaturization buttons.
- Fixed issues with some special characters not being able to be entered in the emulator as well as some international key sequences.
- Fixed issue with super/subscript modes in Epson Printer emulation.
- Fixed issue with R: network emulation and incoming connections, BBS Software will now work."

Ootake v2.55
"- The library of VisualStudio2008 (tool that developed Ootake) was renewed
a little newly. As a result, I think that the tone quality of the sound
improved.
- The speed and timing were brought close to the movement of a real machine.
In the visual scene of "Tenshi no Uta 2", the problem that the screen
stops (generated by v2.54) was solved.
- The volume setting processing of the wave memory sound chip was fixed. In
"Atomic Robo-Kid Spacial", the problem that BGM had not played (generated
from v2.52) was solved.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.
+ The execution file for "Windows 98/Me" was opened to the public. The
operation test is not done. Please see "Readme98.txt" in the ZIP file
about details and notes, etc.
http://www.ouma.jp/file/Ootake255-for98.zip
+ I began Twitter. (Japanese language)

- Cartridge database for storing cart-specific settings (screen orientation,
maximum frame rate).
- Rewrite of display layer, GX based scaler

via "Screen Size" options under "Display". If these are entered after
loading a cartridge, the last frame will be displayed to assist in
sizing.

Fuse-PS3 v1.0.0.1 Alpha 1
"Release Notes:
This is a test release, not all features have been thoroughly tested. Please report any issues and feedback.
Issues should NOT be reported to the FUSE project, this port is unofficial and the fuse team will not be able to provide support.
Usage:
Install the Fuse package on your jailbroken ps3 using normal means.
Either use FTP to store games on hard drive or place them on a FAT formated USB device.
Games should be either uncompressed, or stored as gzip archives. Zip files are not supported.
Controls:
To get started press L2 (by default) to open the Fuse menu.
Input Modes:
While running hold L3 or R3 for a brief period to change input modes, modes include joystick, mouse (the default) and keyboard.
While in joystick mode the game pad will act as a typical joystick.
While in keyboard mode the game pad can be used to send key presses as well as re-map the button usage for mouse mode.
While in mouse mode the left stick can be used to move the mouse cursor and buttons can be used to send key presses mapped in keyboard mode.
On Screen Keyboard:
Use the left stick to move the cursor and select keys, press Cross to press the key.
To remap the keys, move the cursor into the upper-right corner and press Cross to toggle Mapping Mode, the button will be shaded green to indicate the mode is active.
Highlight any key on the keyboard and press the game pad button you wish to map to it, an image of the button will appear on the screen to indicate the change.
The changed mappings will be saved and reloaded on the next session.
The key mapping while the Fuse menu is open is fixed and may not be redefined.
During the menu:
The following default controls are mapped while the menu is open, and currently can not be changed.
Dpad: Navigate
L1-R1: Page Up and Page Down
Cross: Select (Enter)
Circle: Cancel (Escape)
Square: Toggle (Space)
When attempting to change a setting, press Square to toggle it, pressing cross will save the settings and exit the menu.
In order to save your changes between sessions be sure to select 'Save' from the options menu.
Physical Keyboards:
A USB keyboard (and mouse if needed) can be attached and used. However sdcell currently lacks key mappings for most keys not found on US keyboards.
If your keyboard has a key that produces no (or incorrect) input please leave an issue about the keyboard type and non-working key and they will be added in later versions."

TempAR v1.63 Beta (2011/05/21)
"[+] User can now change the number of cheats/code lines which can be loaded.
[+] Added support for loading codes from PSPAR .bin files (checksum not validated).
[+] Added support for loading codes from NitePR .txt files (converted to PSPAR on load).
[+] Added 0xC1 code type (call function with arguments) to PSPAR extended engine.
[+] Added 0xC2 code type (run code from cheat list) to PSPAR extended engine.
[+] Added 0xC4 code type (safe data store) to PSPAR extended engine. Depending on
usage this code type could interfere with auto-off feature.
[+] Added 0xC5 code type (counter) to PSPAR extended engine.
[+] Can add search results in CWCheat format by pressing SQUARE on the search result
instead of CROSS.
[-] Removed thread list and module list from lite version to reduce size.
[-] Removed copy to text file from Disassembler.
[!] Fixes to the conditional code types and 0xD0 code type (thanks HARO)
[?] Temporary data buffers are only allocated when needed to reduce memory usage.
[?] Rewrote cheat file parser, now it is ~1/3 faster.
Old Parser: 57.2MB / ~43 seconds.
New Parser: 57.2MB / ~30 seconds.
[?] Removed autooff version, auto-off functionality is merged with both tempar.prx and
tempar_lite.prx. To enable auto-off change "Enable Autooff" from False to True in
the [PRX] tab, Save Settings and reload the cheat file. (once you reload a game
auto-off functionality will be enabled by default).
[?] On PSP-2000 to PSPgo cheats are now allocated in the slim extended memory.
[?] PSPAR/PSPAR extended cheats MUST be in "real addressing", using fake addressing
won't work properly anymore. This was done to (a) make some of the new code types
possible and (b) force people to make PSPAR codes properly so they will work on
the official PSPAR."
