More bugs killed here than a road trip to Florida

So I have a new picture to show of the interface changes, which isn't that severe a change from the last one. However there has been lots of internal changes.



Things to notice, the new TV, new taskbar icons, a help section, new audio/video stream selection and repeating options for media.

Looking over my current changelog there are many things, but there are some significant bugs I've been able to track down. Some quite silly, some which were due to my laziness, some that have been there for a long time and perhaps not causing many/any issues (yet). There was a rewind bug affecting only videos or systems with a variable state size. None of the cores had variable size states up until this version, which now has "Live" option changes.

What that basically means is unplugging of input devices whilst running, reconfiguring them, swapping audio/video streams, etc is all possible now. It was probably the last thing needing to be done to make the interface "complete" and "smooth" so as to not needing core restarts for things to take effect.

I've also used some 3rd party tools to help diagnose memory leaks and other issues, which help for a codebase the size of RetroCopy tremendously. v0.970 is going to be the most stable and clean version of RetroCopy yet.

Also in 970 will be some interface changes to the 3D room, getting ready for the massive changes which will take place in it for the 0.970->1.0 upgrade.

nice, you really put a lot of work into this.

Also see my comment on the last blog post.

Ha ha, I was wondering, it is kind of pointless but have you thought of adding the Sega Power Base Converter Unit that allows you to play Master System games on a Genesis/ Mega Drive.

I think several games didn't work with it though, as well as several controllers were incompatible with certain games.

Kind of like some games work fine on a Master System 2 but not on other Master Systems.
