Notaz has released a new version of his Genesis and Sega CD emulator Picodrive. The new main feature is the support of the Sega CD GFX chip.
Detailed changelog:
ISO files now can be zipped. Note that this causes VERY long loading times. Added data pre-buffering support, this allows to reduce frequency of short pauses in FMV games (caused by SD access), but makes those pauses longer. Fixed PCM DMA transfers (intro FMV in Popful Mail).
Properly implemented “decode” data transformation (Jaguar XJ220).Integrated “better sync” code into cyclone code, what made this mode much faster. Fixed a bug related to game specific config saving. Frameskipper was skipping sound processing, what caused some audio desyncs. Fixed. Fixed reset not working for some games. New assembly optimized memory handlers for CD (gives at least a few fps). Also re-enabled all optimizations from 0.964 release. New idle-loop detection code for sub-68k. Speeds up at least a few games.
