Accumulating all past WIP patches + last minute fixes.
The main reason for this update is that I added new Korean mappers for yet unreleased games. I'll be sending dumps to emulators authors (please contact me) then will release them shortly.
MEKA 0.73
---------
- Updated MEKA license, data are now licensed under the same term as sources.
The license is now unrestrictive BSD-like. [Omar]
- Removed "k" and associated donation rambling from the documentation.
Donations are still welcome, at your own discretion.
- Emulation:
- Added support for "no bank switching" mapper. Used by Korean games such
as "FA Tetris" and "Flash Point" which write to $fffe-$ffff range for
its RAM usage but do not expect bank-switching. [Omar]
- Added support for Korean 8KB banks mapper. Used by Korean games ported
from MSX such as "Penguin Adventure", "Street Master" or "Won-Si-In". [Omar]
- SC-3000:
- Fixed the ;/+/RAD key not working on Sega Keyboard emulation under
certain host keyboard/OS configuration. Thanks Jacko. [Omar]
- Fixed crash in the X86 assembly implementation of the 32KB RAM mapper
writer when the upper 16 bits were not cleared by the Z80 emulator. [Omar]
- Debugger:
- Added "SYM @addr" command to search for symbols given an address. [Omar]
- Added "RMAP addr" command to reverse map of a Z80 address and display
the source of data based on machine state (mapper registers, etc).
eg:
RMAP $8001 ; eg: print 'ROM $14001 (Page 5 +0001)'
RMAP $E001 ; eg: print 'RAM $C001'
The feature doesn't work 100% in all mappers & bus mirroring cases,
but should be ok with the standard SMS/GG mapper. [Omar]
- Duplicate commands are automatically removed from history. [Omar]
- Increased default height of the debugger. [Omar]
- Changed watch point per-frame flood limit from 100 to 50. Will expose in
configuration file if requested. [Omar]
- Fixed crash when loading symbols with debugger disabled. [Djbass,Omar]
- Fixed labels showing one instruction early in "DASM" command. [Omar]
- Added breakpoint '!' mark in disassembly window. [Omar]
- GUI:
- Fixed Light Phaser and Terebi Oekaki cursor shape when switching from
32-bits GUI mode to 16-bits game only mode. [Omar]
- File browser: fixed positionning of BAD and HACK icons, which aren't
overlays anymore. [Omar]
- Added Canadian flag (for DB and File Browser). [Omar]
- Fixed crash when empty gradient range are specified in theme file. [Omar]
- File browser: country flag now displayed even on BIOS, Prototypes
or Homebrew images. [Omar]
- Inputs configuration: right-click on input source selection goes
backward, in addition to regular left-click to go forward. [Omar]
- Localization:
- Updated Dutch localization [Mark van Tilburg]
- Miscellaenous:
- Added "Capture" menu with screen capture menu access and options. [Maxim]
- Added "Capture All" mode, capturing all emulation frames to disk. [Maxim]
- Added "Include GUI" capture option. Disable to only capture game screen
when MEKA GUI is enabled. [Maxim]
- Renamed "Automatically crop and align screen captures" option to
more explicit "Crop and align screen captures to 8x8 boundaries".
Previous name was sounding too "cool" and was sometimes activated
by innocent users who then got their capture all cropped. [Omar]
- Added "screenshots_crop_scrolling_column" option in configuration
file (default to enabled), to disable cropping the empty left-most
column in horizontally scrolling games. [Omar]
- Project:
- (Win32) Fixed standard libraries used by debug builds (using unusual
combination led to various problems). Fixed various link warnings.
Fixed shared directories between DLL and No DLL builds. [Omar]
- Added and modified entries in the checksum and compatibility lists. [Omar]

Thanks for the new version.
When I saw the naming updates I figured I would update ROM names with SMS Checker. I know the dats for it aren't maintained as much as the meka.nam, but it has gotten worse :P
The in-program update is broken, presumably from some of the site changes. |

| Meka using real 3D glasses and light phaser |

Hi,
I would like to know if is it possible to use real 3d glasses and light phaser in meka 0.73. Could you give me details about it? If dont have support, are you planning doing this in a future version?
Thanks in advance. |

You can use real 3D glasses using a COM port adaptor. I don't know if it is supported in the Windows version. It requires the display to be configured to 60Hz output and may only work on CRT monitors. LCDs output polarised light which may not work with the 3D glasses if their polarisation direction is not matching.
The light phaser is unlikely to work. It depends on extremely precise timing on the hardware connection between the console and the TV display. A computer can't achieve this. It may be possible to adapt some other technology (e.g. Wii remote) to work with an emulator but the original light phaser simply doesn't work in a suitable way. Again, there's more hope with a CRT monitor, none with an LCD. |

I think no matter if the monitor is CRT or LCD because the 3D Master System is Shutter Type (types of 3D Glasses: Passive and Active, Anaglyph and polarized are passive, shutter is active)
the only thing needed is the timing of frames and 3D glasses to be the same.
about light phaser:
if a driver can be done to make the light phaser emulates mouse on the Operation System level maybe work, but like Maxim says, it will ony work on CRT monitors. Wiimote is the best way since it's already do mouse emulation on windows, (i tryed and works well) |
