OpenMSX v0.14.0

EmuCR:OpenMSX OpenMSX v0.14.0 is released. OpenMSX is an open source MSX emulator which is free according to the Debian Free Software Guidelines, available under the GNU General Public License.For copyright reasons the emulator cannot be distributed with original BIOS ROM images. OpenMSX includes C-BIOS a minimal implementation of the MSX BIOS, allowing to play quite some games without the need to have an original MSX BIOS ROM image. You can also use your own BIOS ROM image if you please.

OpenMSX Changelog:
MSX device support:
- fixed VDP type of Sony HB-501P
- fixed a bug that caused hangups on some machines when resetting during the
logo animation
- fixed ROM block debuggable for Sunrise IDE
- improved accuracy of WD2793 FDC and disk drive emulation
- added support for Spectravideo SVI-318 and SVI-328 pre-MSX computers:
- most SVI support was implemented by Tomas Karlsson. With NYYRIKKI's help
we fixed most last details
- added in Contrib a tool to convert SVI disk images to DMK so they can be
used in openMSX
- added SVI support to several scripts (thanks to NYYRIKKI): cashandler,
type_via_keybuf, listing
- note the following limitations:
- only WAV images are supported for cassettes. The stereo feature
(music/sound on the other channel) is not supported.
- only DMK disk images can be used
- nothing is done to prevent the user to mix MSX and SVI hardware/software.
This will not work, of course. As we are not SVI enthusiasts ourselves,
we rely on contributions from others for the SVI support.
- added accurate M1 cycle emulation
- added support for ASCII8 mapper with 32kB SRAM
- added initial support for the ASCII paddle input device (paddle 1 and 2 only)
- added new machines: Bawareth Perfect MSX1, Al Alamiah AX370 (thanks to
alshamaa), and as already mentioned: Spectravideo SVI-318, SVI-328 and a
superexpanded SVI-328.
- added new extensions: Konami Ultimate Collection, ASCII Japanese MSX-Write,
ASCII Japanese MSX-Write II and Tecall TM220 MSX-RAMFILE

New or improved emulator features:
- performance improvements:
- reverse feature
- hq resampler
- fixed issue with remote connections on Mac OS X/FreeBSD
- changed default sound driver on Windows to SDL, because the DirectX sound
driver has been removed
- fixed creation of new HD images
- changed the default renderer to SDLGL-PP
- (probably!) fixed stability of MIDI-in on Windows. Unfortunately we didn't
find someone to help us test this properly
- also improved stability on external connections in general
- allow to specify initial content for flash ROMs. This way it is possible to
use MegaFlashROMSCC+SD like how the actual hardware is also shipped:
preflashed.
- several improvements on the listing command (thanks to NYYRIKKI)
- added automatic file numbering for record_channels
- added a tron script (thanks to NYYRIKKI)
- added script that records to a new AVI file if the framerate changes (thanks
to BiFi and FiXato for their initial version)
- added mapper selection to OSD menu for unknown ROMs
- automatically pad ROM files if they are not a multiple of the block size,
instead of refusing to run that ROM
- added OSD button to invoke OSD menu in the top left corner
- added VGM recorder script (by Niek Vlessert) to help you record MSX songs
into VGM files, supporting PSG, MSX-MUSIC, MSX-AUDIO, OPL4 and SCC
