25 Apr 2013 no$psx v1.5 [download]

1. multimachine: implemented cdrom load to "all machines" option (default)
2. multimachine: fixed cdrom loader load to "1st/2nd/3rd/4th machine" options
3. multimachine: bugfix: doesn't try to use "seed_vals" for newly added machines
4. multimachine: bugfix: doesn't hang on invalidated windows of removed machines
5. multimachine: apply autostart/reset only to machines with newly loaded cdroms
6. multimachine: apply_bios_patches now applied to ALL machines (eg skip intro)
7. sizing: added fullscreen mode, and added sizing/maximize in multimachine mode
8. memcards: now saved as *.mcd in new MEMCARD subdirectory (formerly no$psx.mcN)
9. memcards: first card: .mcd (auto-excluding "(DiscN)" etc.)
10. memcards: others: "_MM_N_X_mcd" (MM=machine1..12, N=slot1/2, X=sub-slotA..D)
11. memcards: prevents .mcd creation on sector 03Fh dummy writes
12. memcards: added support for multitap memcards (IDs 82h..84h in slot 1..2)
13. gpu: help/emu: added textured-rectangle-xyflip feature (thanks William Birkin)
14. gte: help/emu: reproduced real GTE division inaccuracies (thanks ogamespec)
15. cdrom: help/emu: cdrom is initially demuted (fixes missing audio in v1.3+v1.4)
16. cdrom: ignores nonzero writes to unused bits (without suppressing other bits)
17. cdrom: removed "cdrom response overkill" warning (some games may survive it)
18. spu: emulates spu-capture-buffer interrupt (needed for crash team racing)
19. spu: allows glitchless spu-ram-read (as far as [1F801014h].bit24-27=nonzero)
20. spu: added "generate_sample_till_now" for updating spustat and endx on reads
21. spu: better key_on handling (supporting lead_delay, and forced adpcm start)
22. spu: better LOOP-END behaviour (ENDX flag, plus optional mute+release)
23. spu: implemented fully functional 8bit/32bit reads from 16bit spu registers
24. spu: help/emu: dumped/documented gauss_table and emulated adpcm interpolation
25. spu: help/emu: tested/documented pitch_modulation effect and emulated it
26. spu: help/emu: max adpcm pitch (clip values in range 4000h..FFFFh to fastest)
27. help: added info on no$psx debug hotkeys and memory access breakpoints
28. help: added info on glitchless spu-ram-read (used by Herc's Adventures)
29. help: added info on cdrom sector buffer (has 8 slots, but only 2 accessible?)
30. help: added some basic notes on psx-based arcade cabinets
31. pinouts: added IC106-109, IC202, IC303, IC305, IC307, IC309, IC501, IC701, IC723,ICsss
32. pinouts: improved IC304,IC602 pinouts (also IC405, but it's still unclear)
33. gui: created own help engine (instead of microcrap's suicidal windows .hlp)
34. gui: discovered and fixed major resource leak (destroymenu on context menu)
35. debug: added user cycle-counter in iomap (profiling purposes), added ctrl+e
36. debug: added optional DMA logging in TTY window (shows chn,addr,len,ctrl,name)
37. bios: tweaked "bizarre_outdated_pad" function to accept joypads in analog mode
38. vram viewer: bug-fixed "@@app_raw_blend" (test bit0, instead of test "al")
39. webpage: updated info on my current monetary stats (small donations welcome)
40. webpage: updated txt/htm versions of the psx-spx playstation specifications
