[CGB/GB] CrystalBoy 1.4

Pitfall - Beyond the Jungle

Changes for version 1.4

• Now supports loading the DMG, SGB and GBC bootstrap ROMs
• Better GBC hardware emulation (now supports switching to fake B&W mode)
• Using GBC bootstrap ROM allows to play B&W games with automatic color palette
• The GBC automatic palettes are also emulated without the bootstrap ROM
• The OAM and VRAM are initialized more accurately
  
  •  MBC2 support (maybe not totally accurate, but certainly good enough)
  • Instant FPS calculation… Should be instantaneously more accurate, but much more variable than the method used previously.
  • Multithreaded emulation. (Should only improve uncapped FPS for now)
• I did not test extensively with all the rendering plugins, but things should be ok as the UI thread and and rendering thread never execute at the same time.
• Please send a bug report if you encunter a bug related to multithreade rendering…
  •  LCD and Timer timings emulation redone 95%…
• Compatibility increased
• Wario Land II startup screen now shows correctly
• Link's Awakening's bug seems to be gone
• Brain Bender's startup screen now render correctly, like it did a [very] very long time ago.
  • Fixed the sprite priority emulation again… Pokémon Crystal intro should play fine.
  • Fixed small - but sometimes nasty - bugs
• Now able to run Mental Respirator by Phantasy (The Gin & Tonic trick is not emulated yet)
• Most demos are able to start or even run correctly. (Demotronic still doesn't, but it helped correct one of the nasty bugs ;)

CrystalBoy 29.05.2011

• This one is compatible with Windows 7 and x64 machines.
• May require installation of SlimDX or some tweaking of the configuration file.
• The emualtion is now paused while resizing the window, and there is a real frame limiter. (Still needs to be improved)
• There is at least one annoying bug in the emulation (affecting only some games, as it seems), which I didn't notice before, this will be fixed in a further release.
