(idea Wally, code Kreationz) [!] Pause Menu Reset not working properly (Kreationz) [!] Fixed FPS Display and Framerate limiter (Kreationz) [!] Optimized code generation for fragments which branch to themselves is now optional Fixes games that broke from R12-13 (Kreationz) [^] Improved thread communications in job manager (Hlide)
R13 - 04 November 2007 ----------------------
[+] Savestate support. [^] Improved dynarec load/store code generation to remove a branch and a couple of instructions. [^] Dynarec now generates much better code for fragments which branch to themselves. [^] Dynarec load/stores through the stack pointer are now much more efficient. [^] Avoid invalidating the instruction cache where possible. [^] Simplified CPU event handling, making it slightly more efficient.

[!] Fixed lights in F3DEX2 microcodes. [+] Correctly implement instruction fetch exceptions, improving compatibility. [+] Improved floating point compatibility. [+] Correctly handle mask_s/mask_t tile values. [+] Implemented a few custom blend modes. [+] Screenshots just cover visible viewport.
R11 - 06 May 2007 -----------------
[*] Large overhaul of rom settings and preferences. All settings should now be persistant. [+] Native support for palettised textures for faster rendering and less memory usage. [+] Provided a fixed size pool for all texture memory, to limit memory usage. [+] Expansion Pak enabled by default. [!] Updated rom info database to include save mechanism for many roms. [!] Fix memory leak in texture cache. [!] Fixed conversion of RGBA/32bpp textures with odd alignments. [!] Fix crash which occurred when recolouring textures in low memory situations. [^] Large rewrite of texture cache to reduce memory usage and improve performance. [^] Various optimisations to the way textures are looked up in the cache and installed. [^] Optimise offsetting/scaling of texture coordinates. [^] Improve performance of dynarec fragment cache and reduce memory fragmentation.
R10 - 02 April 2007 -------------------
[+] Added frameskip option. [+] Added framerate limiting option. [+] Added adjustable stick deadzone. [+] Allow pause menu to be activated even when rom emulation has hung. [!] Fix crash when no roms found, added explanatory message. [!] Fix flickering when small number of roms found. [^] Fix texture hash frequency check. [^] Finally got code compiling with -O3 optimisation flag in GCC. [^] Use VFPU for InvSqrt (thanks hlide!) [^] Improved VFPU code for clipping and tnl (thanks Raphael!) [^] Improved inlining of AddTri. [^] Reduced time spent searching for overridden blend modes. [~] Remove debug console in public release builds (smaller footprint and slight speedup.)
R9 - 22 February 2007 ---------------------
[+] Added support for RGBA 4444 and 5551 textures [!] Tidied up all the texture conversion code, fixing a few bugs in the process [!] Fixed the width/height of FillRect calls in 1 and 2 cycle mode [!] Fixed a blending bug [^] Use 16-bit textures on the PSP to represent 16-bit N64 textures. [+] Added mirrored texture support [!] Fixed a LoadTile bug, allowing a couple of hacks to be removed [+] Added some new blend modes for various roms [!] Fixed the Tri2 command for F3DLX microcodes [!] Fixed a bug in busy-wait detection [!] Fixed a few dynarec stability issues (relating to exceptions occuring mid-trace) [+] Added audio support [+] Added the ability to dump textures (developer builds only at the moment) [!] Fixed screenshots. Again. [+] Implemented cmp.s, cvt.s, cvt.w, mtc1, mfc1, bc1f, bc1t, j, cfc1, ctc1, daddu, trunc.w.s, bc1t, bc1f, bc1tl, bcifl, bnel, beql, blezl, bgtzl, bltzl, blezl in dynarec [^] Avoid setting the branch delay flag and current PC in generated dynarec code unless necessary [^] Much better memory access handling in dynamically recompiled code [^] Use a second code buffer for generated dynarec code, to avoid polluting the instruction cache [+] Further improve the memory access handling in generated dynarec code [!] Fix register usage analysis for lwc1/swc1/mfc1/mtc1 which was preventing base registers used in these instructions from being cached [^] Have compensation blocks restore nobbled registers, so on-trace code does't need to reload [+] New automatic blender [+] New front-end [+] New pause menu, with option to reset to main menu
R8 - 25 August 2006 -------------------
