Regen 0.972 and 0.972D released
New releases are up after a very major bug related to EEPROM was discovered. This bug could cause some games to work incorrectly (Micro Machines) and some to totally fail (NBA Jam Tournament Edition).


As always, download from here.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused. I am now thinking of adding an auto-updating feature due to all these quick releases.

I hope this release is stable and good enough <_<.

This is starting fresh; straight from the .zip to an empty directory.

Download, extract zlib1.dll, and place in the Regen directory.

Damn, I forgot to add it, again. I'll silently update the archive later today.

Seems like you have a problem with DirectX or video drivers. Update to latest DX and update your video drivers as well. Also make sure your video card has at least 32MB memory :P .

Updated.

Now contains zlib1.dll and fixes "disable sprite limitations" bug. Re-download if you want any of those two things otherwise don't bother.

Of course I am always looking for suggestions to improve the debuggers. Currently the VDP debugger has a very ugly layout and I am looking for ideas to make it more elegant and easy/simple.

Ever see that episode of Futurama with the time-skips? I'm seeing something just like that right now. Randomly, the system kicks into high speed for an instant. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 amd64.

Also, is there gamepad support?

Another update to the 0.97 series is now up after I botched up my EEPROM code. <_<

Are you using the linux port or the Windows one using WINE?

Have you tried using different sound drivers? Also, try increasing/decreasing the "SoundBufferSize" value (which is 52 ms by default) in "~/.regen/regen.cfg" and see if it fixes the problem. Also, if you want, you can specify the sound device by pointing "SoundDevice" to the device.

Also, gamepads are not supported. They will be in the next release which should be out soon.

OSS works. ALSA results in an "error while initializing sound.":
CODE
   ALSA Error: snd_pcm_open(&alsa_pcm, id ? id : "hw:0", SND_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK, 0) Device or resource busy

I'm using PulseAudio, and ALSA apps usually work.

Also are libcanberra-gtk-module, libgvfsdbus, libgioconf, or libgioremote-volume-monitor important? Regen always complains about the 64/32 mismatch, but if they aren't needed I'm not going to install 32bit versions.
