[Deutscher Text:]
Nach vielen Betaversionen ist nun die finale 4.0er Version des Intellivisionemulators Nostalgia erschienen.
[English text:]
After lots of beta version, today the final version 4.0 of Nostalgia, a intellivisionemulator, was released.
* INTELLIVOICE!!! Yes, the Intellivoice is now supported! Drop in the ivoice.bin (or whatever yours in named) and listen to that sweet, sweet robitic voice.
* There is now a dbTool application included with Nostalgia to manage your games database.
* You can now have Nostalgia automatically update your video frame skip. This will allow Nostalgia to adjust its frame rate to match your hardware speed. Enabled by default.
* ECS and Intellivoice are now controlled by switches in the game database. You will not have to manually enable them. They can still be manually forced on/off via command line switches.
* You can now select an option to go directly to the load cart screen, skipping the main menu entirely. Thanks, David!
* New command line switches:
o -IVOICE -NOIVOICE : force the Intellivoice on or off.
o -l : Go directly to the cart loader screen.
* ".itv" added to the list of acceptable cartridge extensions.
* Tremendously improved error reporting inside the game. You´ll now have more information on why your favorite game won´t load.
* The game folder is no longer rescanned every time Nostalgia is run. It is only rescanned if the folder contents have changed.
* There is now a database management tool for maintaining and updating the game database.
* The MiniExec and MiniGrom have been renamed so they don´t overwrite any existing Exec and Grom files.
* Better handling of .cfg files. Now supporting Write Only Memory.
* Keyboard Navigation in the menus. You can use the arrow keys to change menu selections Thanks, James!
* Added Hardware Stretch. Now you can use a high rez video mode and stretch the image full screen for that fuzzy, retro bad TV feeling! Does not work well on some video cards.
* Added visual feedback to button presses.
* Added the ability to edit the game palette. Think my color choices need some tweaking? Head into Game Options and edit until your little heart´s content. BIG thanks to David Trammell for this idea.
* You can now specify a combination of two keys to map to a single input. For example, you can map UPARROW and LEFTARROW to together send the NORTHWEST command to the Intellivision. Thanks to Rick Reynolds for this one!
* Palettes can be exported to a bmp file. They can be imported via the command line. -p:mypal.bmp The new palette will be saved to the registry.
* Screenshots are now saved in 8 bit palettized format. Why? This allows you to take a screenshot of your favorite game and load it into your favorite photo editor. You can now mess with the palette and see exactly what your changes will do. Now just load that palette into Nostalgia, and you´re set to go!
* Screenshots are now saved with a new naming convention: cartname_mmddHHMMSS.bmp, where: mmonth, dday, HHour, MMinute, SSecond.
* Fixed a bug that prevented the ECS options screen from working.
* Made mouse movement a lot smoother in Menus.
* The keyboard is now enabled when using the CGC.
* Refinements to the input system to make it more reliable and maintainable.
* Changed ECS and IVoice options to be checkboxes instead of popping up a new window.
* More video changes to speed things up.
* Changes to sound routines to fix a slight bug.
* Changes to sound handling to drop sound frames if game is running too slowly.
* Fixed another bug with video capture.
* Fixed some problems with the menuing system and gfx display.
* Network play has been disabled pending updates.
* Fixed some problems in the input routines that caused crashes under certain circumstances.
* SPACEBAR now goes to the next game in the cart loader screen
