2003-09-30 <ben@sashipa.com> Release sc68 2.2.1. Modification for winamp-3 component (c++ fix) 2003-09-24 <ben@sashipa.com> Release sc68 2.2.0. gzip and ice support sndh support MsVC fix for Windows 2003-09-06 <ben@sashipa.com> sc68 2.1.0 is about to be released. First major feature is the SNDH file loader. Only the new unice library that is a "C" conversion of the 68000 original source makes it possible since most SNDH are ice compressed and the previous unice used the 68K emulator. Second major feature is the gzipped file handle. It is transparent for file only. This mean you can either gzip sc68 files or sndh files or whatever formats that may be handle in the future (so I hope). A nasty bug has been removed from debug68. The previous version was broken ! Added support for memory and file descriptor stream. May be usefule for socket loader ... unice68 now use the native unice library that has been added to this package. It should be about 50 times faster than the old emulated version. 2003-08-14 <ben@sashipa.com> Welcome to sc68 2.0.0 ! This is a new API. It is expected to be really more convenient. The following subdir has been fired: - xmms68 Move to a separate package - winamp68 Move to a separate package - browse68 Deprecated, never used ... - sc68app Old API replaced by api68 - The dreamcast version has been removed from the project. Dream68 is no more but sc68 is always available on Dreamcast as a dcplaya plugin <http://sourceforge.net/projects/dcplaya>. Add-ons and modifications: - minor modifications of the emulator engine and probably some minor changes and bug fixes. - emu68debug is the debug version of the emu68 library. This version of the library is able to make some smoop on memory access. It is used by almost all tools that need a 68k emulator not for performance (including debug68 unice68 sourcer68). List of program available with this package: - ``sc68'' Command line player. - ``debug68'' sc68 file builder and debugger. - ``unice68'' ICE 2.4 depacker. - ``sourcer68'' Powerful 68000 disassembler. - ``as68'' 68000 macro assembler. - ``info68'' Prints info about sc68 files in a free format. Data and resources: - The new API handles separate location for shared data and user data. - share data : location depends on install prefix. It should be something like ``$datadir/sc68'' (/usr/local/share/sc68). - user data : default location is ``$HOME/.sc68''. User may override this value by setting ``SC68_HOME'' environment variable. - A lot of deprecated field have been removed from config file. New API major modifications: - Memory allocation handler independant. - Loading and saving file with generic ``virtual'' stream. Including by default a implementation of FILE and memory stream. - Setting shared data path and user data path. - Really more simple : a lot of work is done by the api68. 2003-08-01 <ben@sashipa.com> The project is now available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/sc68/ debug68 is at last available in the linux distribution. 2002-02-23 <ben@sashipa.com> Dream68 - sc68 1.2 for Dreamcast - is about to be released as a bootable Dreamcast CD. The dream68 project sources will be include in a few time after a necessary cleaning. 2002-01-22 <ben@sashipa.com> Release 1.2.0 of sc68 distribution is about to be completed. This new version includes a new YM-2149 emulator which is now emulate with the maximum precision. This kind of oversampling allows to make some dynamic level buzzer to be emulated correctly (thanks to Frank Seemann (Tao/Cream)). Some more external players has been added including Tao- Big Demo SID sound and Tao - TSD SID emulator. Quartet replay has been changed from Mindbomd demo version to original "singsong.prg" one. Some musics has been added to the sc68 music collection too. 2001-12-12 <ben@sashipa.com> Beginning of this news file. Nothing more to tell that has not been said in other files.
