v0.33.0

Changes from v0.32.1

• improvements

• ELF uses less memory
  • High memory usage is a direct consequence of the rewind system
  • ELF memory is only recorded if it the memory block is volatile
  • Recorded memory is compressed (using a very simple RLE algorithm)
• ARMv7_M architecture
  • Marginal performance improvement in cycle counting
• Television can now cause emulation to break into debugger
  • eg. if VSYNC is absent or too short, etc.
  • Toggled via preferences window (television tab)
• FPS overlay in playmode shows VBLANK/VSYNC information
  • Timeline window in debugger shows VSYNC trace
• Debugger shows break condition in toolbar
  • Information shown is currently very rough
• Holding down the STEP buttons in the control window is now faster

• changes / bug fixes

• DPC+ more careful about resetting fraction fetcher counter when setting the fraction fetcher low byte
  • Whether the reset happens depends on the version of the driver being emulated
• Supercharger
  • Rewind fix in 0.32.0 for fastload implementation was incomplete
• Coprocessor Source Window
  • Fixed parsing of comment lines

• Emulator Development

• Fixed profile targets in Makefile
