version 0.30b 1 aug 2005


! fixed bug in TV+noflic [fb AlCo]
+ video filters menu on F4 / SHIFT-F4
! fixed general sound BASS mode: sound effects not played (bug since ver 0.28)
! OSD GS led continue show volume after sample stop for looped samples
! fixed bug in frame resampler - crash on full border mode [fb Alex/AT]
! fixed bug in frame resampler that caused additional flicker
* better contrast in frame resampler (less frames to mix => more contrast)
+ frame resampler works with all renders, for slow (less then 600mhz)
machines use 8-bit ddraw driver. it is b/w and does not use MMX
probably there are bugs with ddraw/ddrawh. ddrawt/blt/ovr work fine
@ for LCD monitors, pls use refresh=60 with "frame resampler": LCDs can't
switch pixels so fast and picture worse with higher rates
* added SMUC version ports (#5FBA & #5FBE) [sb deathsoft]
* border (port #FE) not cleared on reset [sb deathsoft]
+ KAY-256/1024: himem,ROMs (note that ROMs in the net have invalid pages order)
- scorpion port #1FFD decoded as in real scheme. pentagon soft may not work
* some changes in overlay render (may not work on old vcards, i don't care)
! removed unnecessary screen mode switches when entering monitor
+ modem: speccy able to control transfer mode and rate [code by Alex/AT]
! modem: fixed bug - could read trash byte from input buffer [fb Alex/AT]
+ IDE/ATAPI cdrom (needs physical drive or windows-level emulated device)
