• Accurately emulate the RSP DMA operation (from Bobby Smiles)

• bugfix: when the front-end specifies an override for the configuration directory, always use this path, so that we don't load the config from there and then save it back to the default user path

• bugfix: #468 - On-screen-display problem under OSX

• bugfix: Use option SaveStatePath from config file

• bugfix: don't call SDL_Quit() until the core library is being unloaded. fixes some front-end use cases

--1.99.1--

New 2.0 architecture advantages:

• Simplified emulator Core, making it much more portable

• Removed all GUI code from plugins, making them simpler and more portable

• User interface development is not tied to Core emulator releases

• All messages from core/plugins can be filtered and shown in GUI instead of only on console

• Video Extension allows Front-end to override some video functions, ie to support embedded render window

• Startup in Fullscreen mode, instead of always starting in windowed mode and switching to FS after few seconds

• video resolution can be given via command-line parameter

• all configuration options for core and plugins are in a single config file, can be configured with a single GUI

• dummy plugins are automatically used if plugin loading fails for any reason

• core and plugins all use the same conventions for where to put data/config files

Mupen64Plus core:

• New feature: cheat code support

• New feature: Keyboard shortcuts for Core commands are now user-configurable

• New feature: can load/save PJ64 state files

• Major code cleanup, refactored build system to separate source and object files

• Removed many dependencies to simplify porting to other platforms

• Moved all of the SDL event-related stuff into a new source file eventloop.c

• Use XDG directory convention for file locations on Unix

• bugfix: frame advance feature should advance every frame, instead of every vertical interrupt (every field)

• bugfix: allow diagonal hat movements for core joystick commands

• bugfix: modified SDL event loop joystick code so that gameshark button press is captured, and joystick commands that are level-triggered instead of edge-triggered (such as fast foward) can be accommodated

• bugfix: fixed the outstanding SDL event issues by re-writing the code which handles the joystick-event-driven core commands. Now the axis-based commands use hysteresis and there is a single global event function for determining if the gameshark button is pressed

• bugfix: OSD crash after pause-stop-start-pause of emulator

• bugfix: Set video width and status, aiDacrate during savestate load

• bugfix: in pure interpreter, Dont allow to override r0 register

• bugfix #52: PJ64 load state patch from olejl77

• bugfix #268: use aligned malloc and mprotect to set executable status for dynarec emitted code

• bugfix #51: Floating Point Register data was not correctly converted when switching between 32-bit (MIPS-I) mode and 64-bit (MIPS III).
  New code more closely emulates behavior of r4300 hardware. Fixes collision problems in Banjo-Tooie

• bugfix #272: rounding mode for x86 FPU not being set correctly in interpreter and pure interpreter cores

• bugfix: many games need different ScreenUpdateSetting to work properly with Rice Video
