Coleco: ColecoDS 8.5 :: AEP Emulation Page - Emulation News

V8.5: 20-Aug-2023 by wavemotion-dave
- Added Sord M5 keyboard graphic and improved Sord M5 keyboard handling.
- Fixed Sord M5 keyboard interrupts so that games like Jumping Jack and Drops play.
- Added ability to switch Sord M5 BIOS from sordm5.rom to sordm5p.rom when playing PAL games.
- Added ability to disable the key click when using a game/program that already provides key feedback.
- Added the SMS mapper for the few SG-1000 games that use them (Most notably Loretta no Shouzou: Sherlock Holmes and the SG-1000 port of Prince of Persia).
V8.4: 15-Aug-2023 by wavemotion-dave
- Added SVI keyboard graphic and improved SVI keyboard handling.
- Added Sega SC-3000 keyboard graphic and improved SC-3000 keyboard handling.
- Improved PV-2000 keyboard handling.
- Added preliminary keyboard support for Hanimex Pencil II - just enough to run BASIC if you dare.
- Spectravideo SVI-3x8 cartridges supported up to 64K. Load .rom and the emulator will figure it out.
- Fixed bug with VDP re-enable of interrupts (unsure if this affected anything, but it's corrected anyway).
- Ability to run games at 90% to 130% on a per-game basis (See game configuration).
- Improved mixing of SN+AY sound chips for the few games that utilize both.
- Refactor of keypad graphics and fix for the options overlay so it paints the whole screen without graphical problems (e.g. showing part of the underlying screen). This also frees up precious RAM!
- Other tweaks, fixes and improvements as time permitted.
Hotfix Version 8.4a with fixes for MSX keyboard corner-keys detection and .col files now auto-detect CV, MSX or SVI
Hotfix Version 8.4b with hot-spot detection fixes for MTX, SVI and Adam keyboards
V8.3: 10-Aug-2023 by wavemotion-dave
- Fix for keyboard handler so that more than one key can be pressed at a time (otherwise you get stutter when moving/shooting in keyboard-mapped games).
- Major overhaul of the Memotech MTX emulation to improve emulation, sound and general stability.
- New Z80 CTC handler (mainly for Memotech) which provides more accurate sound in Sord M5 and some Einstein games.
- New Tatung Einstein keyboard graphic and improved keyboard handling.
- New keymap presets for common keyboard games (QAOP, WASD, ZC-Period, etc.) - use the X button to rotate through these when defining keys.
- Other tweaks, fixes and improvements as time permitted.
