New beta version of
Sony Playstation 2 emulator for Windows has been released.
Changes:
- Improved block managers for EE/IOP recompilers. Basic asm optimizations combined with a technique of replacing NULL/invalid pointer checks with a direct link to a JIT dispatcher.
- IOP Fixes and Optimizations.
- A couple of important VIF fixes.
- Started some work on the pcsx2 emitter.
- Usual opcodes fixes.
- More recompiled opcodes added.
- New EE rec "full" clamp mode, for a few picky games.
- Usual code cleanups and reorganizations.
- Usual speed optimizations (varies from game to game).
- Some EE interpreters fixes.
- Added new, temporary gamefix for God of war and persona 3. Ifyou have missing textures with this beta, you can try that.
- Major GUI API Cleanups.
- Savestate version upgrade and stability fix.
- New yuv2rgb decoder which is up to IPU spec (which differs slightly from MPEG spec). Improves color hue/saturation on many vids, and is a bit faster too.
- Many other small bugfixes and optimizations.
Also included, gsdx, spu2-x and lilypad as of 9th of march 2009. Don't expect huge gains, as always.
