LJP 0.9.1T

[Tinnus]

Get it here: www.freewebs.com/hxs2/sms.htm


Release notes:

[SMS/GG] SMS and GG separated in the launcher for simplicity's sake; still THEY USE THE SAME .ZEM FILE
[SMS/GG] Separate folders
[SMS] Folder: /PALM/Programs/LJP/SMS/
[GG] Folder: /PALM/Programs/LJP/GG/
[SMS/GG] Following each of the above is 'Roms/' for your roms and 'Saves' where the saves are stored
[SMS] FInally working with scaling and flters
[SMS/GG] Corrected graphical glitches
[SMS/GG] 'Sonic issue' is gone, compatibility is near 100% now
[SMS/GG] Some memory leaks corrected, but some still present; see note below
[SMS/GG] I think Hi-res+ (480x320) won't work (some code commented) but feedback on this is appreciated
[SMS/GG] Still no sound. Please DO NOT TRY ENABLING IT BECAUSE IT CAN LEAD TO A CRASH.
[ALL] Found that the slider in the GUI is not really broken, but doesn't support draging currently (did it ever support?)
[ALL] So for the slider, simply tap until you get to the desired value

*** IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT MEMORY LEAKS ***

- One consistent memory leak seems to take about 1MB if your memory for each time you run the emulator
- A variable leak takes as much memory as you use the GUI. Each tap increases it.
- So try to use the GUI the very least possible (memory shortage will lead to a crash)


Please note that this is pretty much a test version and any feedback is appreciated.


edit: forgot to say, this release fixes the SNES-config-keys bug from 0.9.

[timofonic]

Tinnus, thanks a lot for your good work

What occour with yoyo? Ignoring ljp because other guy it's improving some stuff on it? And no news about his other projects... Time to find more people for do a "LJP Team" and improving faster?

[faster90]

Yo yo is not ignoring LJP, this is his work. He's busy like most people. The update is like once a month, so be patient.

[Tinnus]

I've talked with yoyo recently, he's still alive, just too busy to be able to update LJP and everything.

[deivetru]

Oi Tinnus, sei que você é brasileiro e tem um tungstgen E, no seu conhecimento, será emulado com velocidade satisfatória, o Gameboy Advanced nesse palm?Será possível que o LJP venha a conter esse módulo?

[Tinnus]

Por favor poste em inglês pras outras pessoas poderem aproveitar as respostas e o conhecimento

GBA will never be emulated with decent speed on a Tungsten|E. A Tungsten|T3 perhaps...

There are (little) chances of GBA being added into LJP. We'll see...

[vinniet99]

SMS looks great. I tryed a few games and have not problem.

With GG it seems if you have display size for x1 it crashes or wrap/double your display.

[Tinnus]

I'm aware of the strange GG 1x behavior and a fix is on its way.

[wantan]

Hey Tinnus... I've got this error:

Error while unzipping (in GG)
After I click the button (no text) i got "3"
After then, I click other button and got "PNO pointer is NULL"
After then, I click again another button and got "Error while loading PNO"
After... another button... and this message: "259"

Then... I'm back in the LJP's launcher...

The same with SMS

What I'm doing wrong?

I'm using a T5 with UDMH all the video modes, audio on, sim and off... my roms are not zipped... I'm gonna tried to change their names with no spaces...

[faster90]

Strange, GG game are not that big, only 512kb, why bother zipping it up. Try it without zipping it up to see if it work, current version does not support sound,

[SMS/GG] Still no sound. Please DO NOT TRY ENABLING IT BECAUSE IT CAN LEAD TO A CRASH.

[Tinnus]

This usually happens when you have less than 2MB free memory. It's weird that it happens with UDMH. Have you tried running the emulator straight after a soft reset?

[wantan]

Ok... after reset... still with the T5(I miss you my old and faithful T3 ) I got this results:

UDHM off: Fatal exception...
UDHM on: GG and SMS runs fine... ;D

I forgot to reset before run LJP ... but... after all, SNES module doesn't works for me... with udhm enabled or disabled... even with audio enabled or disabled... ASM or C Just got an annoying "Out of memory..." message...

Btw... sorry for my bad english grammar... I'm from Ecuador... a next door neighboor of Tinnus... btw... Here in our country (if you don't see the news) dismissed our President... and now he's asking for political assylum to Brazil...

[wantan]

I forgot... Tinnus... thanx for your work... really... as I said before... and if you can read in my sign under this message... I'm here to see my device crashing everytime... just to see everybody happy with a great piece of software ;D

[garris]

Tinnus,

I've got the following piece of hard'n'soft-ware:
palmOne T|T5 + 1G MMC + UDMH

LJP/GG results:

Display size x1 - Fatal error
Display size x2 - Fine
Display size Full.x1 - The picture is scattered all around the screen (some parts here, some parts there, scanlines are randomly messed up)
Display size Full.x2 - Fine
Display size Wide - Left 2/3 of picture is displayed, and it does not fit the screen

BTW, all the LJP modules suffer the same disease - they do not display correct picture in Wide display size (either portrait or landscape) on my T|T5. Is it a hardware fault or LJP's one?

Anyway, thank you for good work, Tinnus. My little daughter plays with LJP all the time. The same thanks go to yoyo.

[vbrother]

Ok, so far I've tried many Snes/Genesis roms, and I'm just writing down report about those games that actually won't work, while I must admit that most of the roms I'm trying are working flawlessy with sound ;D.

On my Palm T3, 40 mb free dynamic memory, 50 mb free external card, lightspeed/pxaclocker boost, those roms won't work in any configuration:

Genesis:

MazinSaga/Wars (either NTSC/J/E)
Thunderforce 3
Thunderforce 4/ Lighting Force
Beyond Oasis

4+ among 40 (90% ok)

Snes:

So far, tested 20 roms and they're 100% working.

I'll keep in touch...

[w4r10]

I have just tried Ms PacMan and works great, but the
in-game gui doesn't work it leads to a shadowed screen and stops emulation, must reset to quit

[Tinnus]

Please post your device, free memory before running the emulator and if you're using UDMH or not.

And be sure to try it twice to make sure it wasn't a special case ;D
