Emulation News 152: Updates for 8-30-11


So the month is almost over, ready for September?


Ootake v2.60

"- Processing of the access of the memory of the "Arcade Card" was improved.
In "Garou Densetsu 2", the problem that the physical strength meter of CPU
did not decrease more than the definite value was solved. * Thanks for
anonymous information mail about this improvement.
In "Garou Densetsu 2", ADPCM voice under the game played correctly.
- The volume setting processing of the wave memory sound chip was fixed. In
"Heavy Unit", the problem that the sound stops (generated from v2.52) was
solved.
- The speed and timing were brought close to the movement of a real machine.
In "Metal Angle 2", the problem that the start demo did not operate (
generated by recent ver) was solved.
- In "Sherlock Holmes" series, the image and the voice have been matched.
- 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/Ootake260-for98.zip
+ I began Twitter. (Japanese language)

* The happiness of the game is the world human race commonness. It longs for
peace.
* I think that it cannot do improvement & correction of the above-mentioned
if there are many neither operation report nor defect report. Thank you
really for you who reported."

Jpcsp SVN r2298

"r2296
Fixed "Error calling ... sceKernelTerminateThread...": return value is always an "int" value when a SceKernelErrorException is raised by an HLE method (even if the HLE method is returning "void").
r2297
Fixed sceKernelGetThreadStackFreeSize().
r2298
Async IO: restored the processing of the async read in the async thread (reverted the workaround from r2288).
Improved the compatibility of sceIoReadXXX and sceIoWriteXXX based on PSP tests: the duration of the operation depends on the size of the processed (read or write) data."

PCSX2 SVN r4890

"r4882
Fixed Virtual on Marz (or Mars) which does an 8 bit DMAC_STAT write.
This broke in r3705, which handles the write instead of ignoring it.
r4883
Removed the silly log check and fixed the revision numbers from last commit.
r4884
DMAC: Well done Rama for finding this in r4882! Fixed it up a bit to work as intended + added INTC which should have also been there.
r4885
Get some PSX mode logging to work again. We currently freeze with it reading the GPU_STATUS register as all 0.
r4886
Fixed a bug in r4884, simplified implementation and added equivalent code to hwWrite16
r4887
Oops.
r4888
Let's keep the warning log in :p
r4889
Vif/Gif: Hack for Hotwheels World Race, should be pretty harmless at it's very rare conditions.
(Note: Game runs better on ZeroGS than GSDX)
r4890
Morphed the Hotwheels hack into a gamefix to be safe!"
