- VDP: corrected vblank interrupt timing, it was 1 scanline too early
- VDP: improved render timing, updating the surface at the start of hblank instead of at the start of the active scanline
- VDP: fixed screen 0 text colour 0 always being black
- Z80: if ld a,i/r is interrupted, the p/v flag is reset, thanks GuyveR800
- VDP: fixed a few small bugs with mode 3 sprite cloning
- VDP: fixed screen 0 border size
- VDP: corrected emulation of bogus mode 1+2(+3)
- Z80: made trace logger more user friendly, it's disabled by default though

- mappers: added ROM mirroring quirk to Konami types
- mappers: common MegaROMs are autodected by finding mapper register writes,inspired from Marat's fMSX
- mappers: removed Zemina ZMB type, no dumps exist in order to test it
- mappers: added optional extra settings per type, instead of all mapper types being identified and auto-configured with a single id
- mappers: Konami Sound Cartridge can now be configured as Snatcher/SD Snatcher type, or a modified board with 128KB RAM
- mappers: merged simple no-mapper types into a single one, and made the page
layout configurable, it's even possible to create a hybrid ROM/RAM board
- mappers: rewrote ASCII MegaROM emulation, with support for about 30 official boards, and any custom configuration, props to http://gigamix.jp/rom/ . Also thanks to OeiOeiVogeltje, Quibus, BiFiMSX, Haohmaru for testing their carts. You can help too: http://samor.nl/hap/crap/ascii_range_todo.txt

- VDP: corrected interrupt request/acknowledge timing due to a small delay between that and accessing a VDP register
- VDP: added vblank interrupt/flag suppression quirk when reading the status register at the same time the vblank bit gets set
- VDP: added Toshiba T6950/T7937A model
- added a firmware downloader, for indirectly obtaining essentials, such as BIOS files, this will also check for meisei updates

DeSmuME 0.9.2 Plus Gocha r2271
DeSmuME 0.9.2 Plus Gocha r2271 is released.DeSmuME 0.9.2 Plus Gocha is a UNOFFICIAL DeSmuME ReRecording Build.DeSmuME ReRecording is the re-recording branch of DeSmuME 0.9.2.This is the development project for this branch of DeSmuME. Its primary function is to expand features related to the creation of Tool-Asssisted movies.These binaries are built from the official svn.
Hopefully it has the same sync with desmume-rr-0.9.2 (but I'm not sure).
At least, they can play the OoE TAS WIP in TASvideos forum correctly.
It seems that the new savedata system (or something like that) broke the sync-compatibility.
"0.9.2plus-gocha" version is made from svn updates which doesn't break compatibility (that's just a guess though).
If it has different timings from rr-0.9.2 after all, don't curse me, please.

PCSX2 SVN r1282
PCSX2 SVN r1282 is released.PCSX2 is a PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. With the most recent versions, many PS2 games are playable (although speed limitations have made play-to-completion tests for many games impractical), and several games are claimed to have full functionality.PCSX2 SVN Changelog:
r1277
Linux: Revise the speed hack and cpu dialogs a bit.
r1278
microVU: minor optimizations/changes...
r1279
GSdx: just fixing slow texture uploads with dx9... (odin sphere back to 40-50 fps)
r1280
R3000air:
* Lots more work on the register mapping / allocation logic -- recompiler can actually generate a few dozen instructions now! (and then promptly crashes so don't bother trying to compile/run it)
* Removed the BlockValidation cache, since IOP block invalidation can be managed entirely through the RamProtection bit on the COP0 status register.
* Fixed some bugs in the disasm parameter ordering.
* Added some comparison operators (== and !=) to some of the x86emitter types.
r1281
microVU:
- Implemented the tri-ace gamefix.
Note: I've only tested SO3 so-far and it has some ugly graphical problems with mVU. SO3 does some evil VU stuff that it shouldn't be doing, but it does them anyways xD
I know the cause of the problems, so I just have to code the solutions sometime in the future...
P.S. SO3 looks really funny with the FlagHack1 speedhack! The characters turn into floating heads effectively turning the game into PacMan xD

Added basic ADPCM support to Grand Cross [Angelo Salese]
Fixed title screen display in Joshi Volleyball [Angelo Salese]
Fixed sound mute for system 2 games. [Aaron Giles]
The logic for detecting merged roms did not check all the rom sources

configuration. [Wilbert Pol]
Split Naomi video ram access into 32-bit / 64-bit areas pending more
information on how they actually mirror (it's not a straight mirror).
[David Haywood]
psattack CF card redump and ID metadata added to create a CHD. [Guru]
H8 series MCU updates: [R. Belmont]
- Implemented 8-bit timers and free-running counter for H8/3334

- Improvements to interrupts and the serial ports
Namco System 23 update: [R. Belmont]
- Changes and documentation added on how the I/O board is hooked up.

- Reimplemented SPOT RAM - Tokyo Wars relied on some details not
previously seen
- Fixed uninitialized RAM area that caused random sprite colors
since 0.120 (thanks to Phil Bennett for debugging the problem)

it) for the YMF271 based on a formula by Olivier Galibert.
[Brian Troha, Roman Scherzer]

the bprom type. [Brian Troha]

Removed the pulse input on the touchscreen for the touchmaster
drivers, making centipede returns (tm4k), breakout3k (tm3k),
wordsearch (tm8k) and possibly other games playable do to the need for
"dragging" the screen. An example of this is the word search game
where it is necessary to drag from the start letter to the end to
highlight the selection, which is not possible with a pulse input.
[Mike Green]
Corrected the clock speed for Pirate Ship Higemaru. [Stefan Lindberg]
Hand-tuned bgm OKI sound chip frequency in mirage.c. [Angelo Salese]

proper devices. [Aaron Giles]

derive their clock from the parent device. [Aaron Giles]
Tweaked some of the laserdisc interfaces to use ROM_NAME() and
MACHINE_DRIVER_NAME() macros. [Aaron Giles]

of simulating the behavior. Hooked them up properly in bosco, digdug,
and polepos. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed Bronx regression. [Angelo Salese]
Guessed ADPCM PAL shuffling in Idol Janshi Suchie-Pai Special, it
sounds better but I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate (I need a
side-by-side test). [Angelo Salese]
Added mirrors to Pole Position memory maps. [Aaron Giles]
DIP switch changes: [kanikani]
- added DIPLOCATION to scontra and thunderx

Several MB88xx changes/fixes: [Aaron Giles]
- internal timer support now works; prescaler is guessed based
on Pole Position sample playback frequency

- a basic mechanism for reading serial input has been added; it
is not sufficient for a full implementation, but good enough
to sample the SI pin at startup
- fixed TSTS/TSTV to clear their respective flags
- fixed CI and CYI to compute imm-reg instead of reg-imm
- added masking of the PA register upon RTI/RTS to prevent bogus
PC values
Fixes compilation with ARM7_DEBUG_CORE enabled.
[Reijo Tomperi, Oliver Stoeneberg]
Added support for parsing horizont.ini or vertical.ini based on the
game's orientation. [Krick]
Made a pass at shuffling/improving the system 16 and 18 bootlegs.
Some games are probably more broken now, but they are better
structured for future improvements. [David Haywood]
Fixed a few potential memory leaks detected by cppcheck and also added
an errormessage to verinfo. [Oliver Stoeneberg]
Added Guru-readme(TM) for TWINKLE hardware. [Guru]

on Pole Position sample playback frequency
- external counter support works
- a basic mechanism for reading serial input has been added; it
is not sufficient for a full implementation, but good enough
to sample the SI pin at startup
- fixed TSTS/TSTV to clear their respective flags
- fixed CI and CYI to compute imm-reg instead of reg-imm
- added masking of the PA register upon RTI/RTS to prevent bogus
PC values
Fixes compilation with ARM7_DEBUG_CORE enabled.
