     1 Release notes for lxdream 0.8.3

     2 ===================================================

     4 Please note that this is still an alpha release - many things are not yet

     5 implemented, it has many bugs (especially wrt rendering), and it's

     6 not likely to run at 100% speed.

     8 Having said all that, some games are known to run to at least

     9 some degree (aka everything we've tried), and most homebrew works

    10 perfectly or nearly so - feel free to experiment and let us

    11 know how it goes.

    13 Changes since 0.8.2

    14 -------------------

    15 * MMU Implementation

    16 * Dreamcast mouse + keyboard support

    17 * Joystick/gamepad support

    18 * Assorted bug-fixes

    20 Changes since 0.8.1

    21 -------------------

    22 * x86-64 architecture support

    23 * Preliminary Mac OS X support

    24 * Pbuffer support (to support OpenGL drivers without EXT_framebuffer_object)

    25 * Support for more recent CDI and NRG image file versions

    26 * Minor bugfixes

    28 Changes since 0.8

    29 -----------------

    30 * Various configure/build fixes for compatibility

    31 * GDI image support

    32 * Minor bugfixes

    34 Changes since Milestone 3

    35 -------------------------

    36 * Speed improvements (translation core now runs at roughly double the speed

    37   of M3)

    38 * GUI Overhaul - it's actually somewhat usable now. Also removed the gnome

    39   dependency (now just needs GTK 2.0)

    40 * Sound fixes (aka, some sound actually works now)

    41 * A few minor bugfixes and tweaks.

    43 Changes since Milestone 2

    44 -------------------------

    45 * Implemented the SH4 translation core

    46 * A handful of minor bugfixes

    48 No really, that's it. The good stuff is coming next version, honest

    50 Changes since Milestone 1

    51 -------------------------

    52 * Complete rewrite of nearly all PowerVR2 code - The M1 code was largely a

    53 quick hack to get something running. It's done for real now.

    54 * Initial IO event system (not widely used yet)

    55 * Lots of bugfixes throughout the system

    57 Known issues

    58 ------------

    59 The following are known bugs (as opposed to missing features) that will be

    60 fixed in the next release, but are too large to be fixed for this version:

    62 * Polygons that are partially clipped by the view frustum can be distorted

    63 quite badly

    64 * Limited depth precision causes tearing of view on some scenes.

    66 System requirements

    67 -------------------

    68 GTK 2.6+

    69 ESounD 2.36+

    70 OpenGL drivers with EXT_framebuffer_object support (any recent drivers should be

    71 fine)

    72 GCC, Make, etc.

    74 Building

    75 --------

    76 From the base directory

    77 ~$ ./configure

    78 ~$ make

    79 ~$ make install            (optional)

    81 Enjoy!
