So here are today's updates. Some notables are the new versions of MAME as well as a Javascript emulator ran online. I'm glad to have a day off so expect lots of new additions throughout the day.
MAME v0.142u4
"0.142u4
-------
MAMETesters Bugs Fixed
----------------------
- 04354: [Crash/Freeze] bigappg, casino5, dodge, slither, slithera,
ssingles: Heap corruption detected by VS2010 RTC (R. Belmont)
- 04350: [Graphics] buggyboy, buggyboyjr: Missing/corrupt graphics
(Alex Jackson)
- 04346: [Graphics] dangar, galivan and clones: Scrolling incorrectly
changes scene (Angelo Salese)
Source Changes
--------------
Removed deprecat.h usage for the following drivers: [Angelo Salese]
- galpanic.c, gradius3.c, halleys.c, hexion.c
Inputs from the scratch for Champion Poker (v100) [Roberto Fresca]
Cleaned-up protection simulation in Yam Yam!? [Angelo Salese]
Implemented an almost complete Konami k053252 device emulation, adds
accurate refresh rate timings and irq acks to many mid-90-era Konami
games [Angelo Salese, O.Galibert]
Various changes for PSX HW [smf]
- Modernised internal memory map;
- MDEC is now an internal device of the PlayStation CPU;
- Root counter & Serial I/O converted to internal CPU devices;
- Moved PlayStation IRQ code to sub device of the CPU;
Switch input ports to use function-based constructors instead of
tokens. Remove the old tokenizing helpers. Add basic classes for
ports, fields, settings, and dip locations as a first step. These will
be fully cleaned up later. Added machine() method to field to hide all
the necessary indirection. Changed custom/changed handlers into
generic read/write handlers, and added wrappers to convert them to
device read/write lines. [Aaron Giles]
Changed input read/write and crosshair callbacks into delegates.
Changed signature for callbacks to take an input_field_config
reference instead of pointer. [Aaron Giles]
Removed legacy trampolines from eeprom_device, taking advantage of new
input port support for delegates. [Aaron Giles]
mc6845.c: Converted to C++. [Wilbert Pol]
Fixed the disassembly of the "mov ax, mem" instructions (opcodes A0-
A3) in the i386 and NEC disassemblers. The argument (the memory
address) was being displayed as a signed number, which doesn't make
any sense. [Alex Jackson]
Fixed a tiny bug with the debugger hex dump command: the printable
characters in ASCII range from 32 to 12*6*, not 127. [Alex Jackson]
Fixed input regression with Racin' Force, allowing it to boot again
[Angelo Salese]
Gave labels to many inputs in Midway's T, Wolf and Y Unit games as
well as CPS1 and CPS3. [Joe Caporale]
Implemented experimental HLSL post-processing support on Direct3D 9
targets. [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment]
* 5-pass post-processing: Upscale, Post-Process, Store Last Frame,
Defocus 1, Defocus 2
* Many tunable effects including: Scanlines, defocus, linear
deconvergence, radial deconvergence, pincushion, RGB colorspace
convolution, YIQ colorspace convolution, saturation, simulated dot
crawl, simulated chroma subsampling, aperture masking, and more.
* Requires a GPU that supports Shader Model 3.0 to be enabled and a
powerful GPU, the entire pipeline consists of approximately 30
texel fetches and approximately 230 arthimetic ops.
* Will supersample the framebuffer up to 9x in both X and Y, but this
requires an enormously powerful GPU that has not been invented;
users with Radeon 5000-class cards should limit themselves to 3x,
Radeon 4000 to 1.5x.
* The default configuration will NOT appear to do anything; it
requires tuning to the user's liking.
* Should nicely fall back in all cases except missing shaders, and it
might fall back correctly in that case as well. Report any
anomalies.
- For obvious reasons, the Direct3D8 renderer cannont support this.
Enable Visual Studio basic run-time checks in non-optimized builds
[Oliver Stoneberg]
Flush stderr, so the data is actually written when output is being
redirected [Oliver Stoneberg]
i286 - Added 286 LOADALL and triple fault resets. [Carl]
i286 - Added support for 16-bit protected mode far calls and segment
privilege checks. [Carl]
i86 - Fixed shift instructions, helps detecting proper CPU [Miodrag
Milanovic]
i86 - Fixed handling of invalid instructions in 0x60-0x6f section
[Miodrag Milanovic]
Major clean-up and state machine conversion for the Sega ST-V / Saturn
driver [Angelo Salese]
HLSL Updates [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment]
* Split color convolution and deconvergence into separate shaders for
potential GPU savings down the line
* Added light and heavy variants of the color convolution shader, the
former with YIQ colorspace removed
* Re-worked defocus to occur prior to shadow mask application, as it
would be on a real monitor.
* Split "pincushion" into "Pincushion" and "Screen Curvature", the
former affecting the only the displayed image and the latter only
affecting the shadow mask.
* Made major fixes to CVBS simulation, significantly increasing color
saturation
* Added magnet deconvergence via a shader uniform
* Improved phosphorescence
* Improved YIQ codec
* Added adjustable color carrier in YIQ processing mode.
* Fixed resolution-change crash and likely D3D performance regression
with -nohlsl on low-spec cards
* Created a new OSD function, osd_get_slider_list, which allows
OS-specific slider controls.
HLSL Post-Processing Updates: [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment, cgwg]
* The defocus pass is now switched off when defocus_x and defocus_y
are zero, allowing finer-grained performance tuning.
* Removed YIQ convolution from the main color-convolution shader and
replaced it with a full composite encode/decode pass. This is slower,
but looks amazing(ly like a terrible TV) and can be turned off.
* More authentic NTSC dot crawl and bandwidth limiting.
i86 - Implemented POP CS and MOV CS,reg instructions that are 8086
specific [Miodrag Milanovic]
Implemented multi-cart support to ST-V driver [Angelo Salese, Tafoid]
Managed to get the multiplexer/state machine emulated, amongst some
watchdog fixes for BFM games. [J. Wallace]
Added missing bipolar PROM dumps to Lucky Lady (Wing) [Team Europe]
pic8259 - updated to be more according to documentation [Carl]
Initial frameworking for upcoming artwork updates [Mr. Do]

EMU v1.01 (2011/05/23)
A new version is out. Be sure to check the source for more info.
Source
a5200DS 1.1
"a5200DS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a5200DS is an Atari VCS 5200 console emulator.
To use this emulator, you must use compatibles rom with a52/bin format.
You also need the 5200.bin rom bios to use it. A quick search on atariage website
will help you about that ;-)
Do not ask me about such files, I don't have them. A search with Google will certainly
help you.
Features :
----------
Most things you should expect from an emulator.
Missing :
---------
All that is not yet emulated ;)
Need to improve speed
Hangs a lot of time if you do not choose the correct 16 bit cartridghe type
Seems centipede and missile command do not work ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
History :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V1.1 : 23/05/2011
* Quick fix about bios problem
* change screen height to 256
* Add more easy understanding message when no game in current diretory (Thx
Another World for the tip)
* Fix name in makefile (was 7800 and not 5200)
V1.0 : 22/05/2011
* Initial release
* Compiled with last version of Devkitpro/libnds, so DSi compatible \o/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How tu use a5200DS :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YOU NEED PERHAPS TO PATCH THE NDS FILE WITH THE DLDI PATCH BEFORE USING IT.
Unzip a5200DS.nds from the a5200DS.zip archive in a directory of your flash / (micro) SD
/ MMC card.
Put the a26/bin files where you want on your flashcard.
That's all, a5200DS can be use now :) !
When the emulator starts, click on the cartridge slot to choose a file. you are use Up/Down
to select a file, then use A to load it.
Controls :
* Direction pad : the joystick ...
* A : Fire button 1
* B : Shift button
* X : * button
* Y : # button
* START : START button
* SELECT : Pause button
Use stylus on buttons for other actions on bottom screen.
Of course, this emu is compatible with iMenu and BassAceGold menu (launch arguments
are tested for roms)"
