New Version Of The Saturn Emulator Yabause

June 30, 2008 by Hawq

An excellent Sega Saturn emulator this one, true I often end up using SSF for my Saturn needs but I drift over to this one at times as well mainly when I can’t be bothered mounting an image for use with SSF as this one can read disc images, saves a few seconds and clicks, the OpenGL video option is nice as well. Enough of that though let’s see what’s been done for this release before my Saturn nostalgia comes flooding back in waves of flying jesters shall we?

sdl joystick core:

Fixed it…

software video core:

Improvements and bug fixes.

carbon port:

Added detection of sdk in the build process.

Changed the cd core so that the first device found is used.
Users shouldn’t have anything to set up when using cd device now.

gtk port:

Tagged more strings to be translatable.

Fixed bugs when setting a resolution in settings.

Fixed controller settings so keys can now be configured even if emulation is not started.

qt port:

Removed libsjw core.

wii port:

Updated to use the last devkitppc.

Added support for classic controller and for wiimote, disabled keyboard support.

windows port:

Added command line support.

general:

Updated copyright for some files where it was missing or inaccurate.

Fixes and improvements to the build process: fixed cross compilation of Qt port, added Wii port support, found a better way to “trigger” compilation of gen68k, fixed a bug when calling the sub-configure, .inc files are now cleaned, added MINI18N variable support, forwarded distclean rule to qt makefiles, configure now make sure the compiler is a cross compiler when cross compiling

Added a workaround for the “limits.h” problem… now distros should fix their headers…

Fixed the .desktop files for linux (gtk + qt ports)

Added translation files for fr and pt in the repository.
