New Version Of The Atari ST Emulator Winstonx
July 1, 2010 by Hawq
The Xbox based releases keep on coming, this time we have an updated Atari ST emulator with this news:
Auto unzip’s Gamebase ST style “HARDISK.ZIP” files and autoboot them. (user must use TOS_104). Can now change region (NTSC/PAL). Defaults to PAL. Modified screen size to more accurately match the ST screen size (now screenshots look correct). Added a menu option to display what disks are loaded in drives 1 and 2. Given the full “Madmab Edition” treatment. New dual-preview skin to support Ressurection Xtra’s. Say thank you to Gilou9999 for the skin. “Auto Game Configurations (aka Configuration defaults)” added (see below description). Fixed a couple goofs that prevented loading ROMS over a samba share. “Move Selected to the Garbage Folder?” now has a new option.. “Never Move”. So “Yes” will ask before moving the selected file to the Garbage folder. “No” will just move the file and “Never Move” won’t move the file at all. New feature “Seconds before playing movie” determines how long the emu will wait before playing a movie. The default is half a second. This will help speed up rom browsing. Especially useful for people streaming stuff (like movies) across the network. * Pick -1 on “Seconds before playing movie” to set to 0 seconds. 0 will equal half a second.. 1 one second, and so on.
If streaming movies from across the network and the user press on the dpad or a, b, x or y the emulator will abort the transfer. This should help speed up rom browsing and allow the user an “out” especially for the larger movies. User can now select which “cheat code database” they wan’t to load since it seemed silly to mix the many AR and GG codes into one file for Snes9xbox. Select file function now has an option to not display directories. First menu to use this is the cheat code database select screen. Pressing the back key while viewing a games synopsis will toggle between a fixed font and the skins proportional font. Fixed long standing bug of YesNo Menu pop-up graphic not centering properly. Fixed an issue with the software filters displaying garbage. Activated the “Keep user Within ROM Directory Tree?” which I somehow missed. Fixed up the box/cart art position on a few skins. Fixed a problem where setting the box/cart orientation was screwed up. Fixed the bug that screwed up Gilou’s skin to begin with (too weird to explain). Fixed a long standing bug in the favorites system. This one goes waaaaay back. Emulator should now work with 1.6 Xbox’s super big thanks to FreakDave. 1.6 users let me know how this works for you. Fixed a problem where the media directory selected by the user replaced the wrong media directory. Again. Double Doi on me! Fixed the problem where the wrong synopsis description was showing when selecting a game in the favorites menu. Fixed odd bug where the opening movie and movies played full screen in the media browser would not display properly at 1080i
As usual due to XDK use there’s no link but the usual sources have it, read more in the release thread at Xbox-scene.
