ykhwong's DOSBox 0.74 SVN Build 16.12.2010 is released. DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, etc., necessary for running many old MS-DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and FreeBSD. However, it is not restricted to running only games. In theory, any MS-DOS or PC-DOS (referred to commonly as "DOS") application should run in DOSBox, but the emphasis has been on getting DOS games to run smoothly, which means that communication, networking and printer support are still in early development.| This build is an enhanced SVN build which incorporates unofficial features and fixes that are not officially part of DOSBox. The best Dosbox version IMHO. Included Patches: Direct3D with pixelshaders, OpenglHQ, Innovation, Glide, zip/7z mount, Beep, NE2000 Ethernet, Graphis user interface (menu), Save/Load states, Vertical sync, CPU flags optimization, Various DOS commands (PROMP,T VOL, LABEL, MOUSE, etc) and CONFIG.SYS commands (DEVICE, BUFFERS, FILES, etc), Continuous turbo key, Core-switch key, Show details (from menu bar), Nice DOSBox icon, Font patch (cp437), COPY CON feature, MAKEIMG command, INTRO, Ctrl-break patch, DBCS support patch, Automatic mount, Printer output, MT-32, MP3CUE, Overscan, etc. Build environment: Based on MinGW/MSYS under Windows 7 x64 Flags: -s -O2 -pipe -fprofile-use -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=i686 -march=i586 -mno-push-args -ffast-math -funroll-loops --param max-unrolled-insns=60 Libaries: SDL, SDL_sound, libpng, libphysfs, DirectX SDK library, Freetype, etc. For advanced users who want to debug or compile, debugger-enabled build and source are available. WHAT'S NEW ------------------ 1. Based on SVN r3663 2. Updated to latest Munt (MT-32 emulation) code Borrowed mostly from ScummVM project, including some fixes: - More accurate than previous version of MUNT - More speed as it detects SIMD and 3DNow technology of CPU. - Every time you change the sample rate, waveform cache needs to be newly generated. The cache file will be saved in waveform directory. - Added more samples rates. - Added a hack for some games. - Mastertune will be automatically set depending on ROM files. - Fixed endless echo while resetting all controllers (e.g., Little Witch) - Fixed noise on some games (e.g., Lotus, MegaMan X) - Fixed some other noticeable bugs For more information, go to http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=26833 3. Saved state slots now will be restored to files, not to memory for reducing memory burden. Take a look at save directory. These saved files may not be reusable after DOSBox exits. 4. Fixed some minor bugs |

The biggest change in this release is the improved MT-32 emulation.
ReplyDeleteThanks to ykhwong for his hard work. He did a great job implementing MUNT32 emulation core from ScummVM to DOSBox. MT-32 emulation is now better and faster, still though not perfect. :)
