[RELEASE] yabasanshiro-pirry — Optimized Sega Saturn Emulator for R36S / RK3326 v1.6.2
yabasanshiro-pirry 1.6.2
This release is available for dArkOS and ArkOS
New
- Cheats: libretro .cht files (Action Replay codes) in ~/.yabasanshiro/cheats/ are loaded for the running game (file name = game name). Switch single cheats on and off in the new Cheats menu page.
Get the files from the libretro database, folder cht/Sega - Saturn: github.com/libretro/libretro-database/tree/master… — copy them into ~/.yabasanshiro/cheats/ (create the folder). Region tags in the name do not matter, e.g. Burning Rangers (USA).cht also works for the European disc.
When a cheat is on, RetroAchievements are off (casual and hardcore): the menu shows "Cheats activated -> RetroAchievements disabled". They come back after a reset with all cheats off.
- Menu: Save State and Load State are now together in a Save submenu directly below Config, so the main menu fits the screen. Load State shows "No save state found" when the game has no saved state yet.
- Sound DSP (reverb and effects) is now one global setting instead of per game, and it is on by default. You can still switch it off in the menu ("DSP Off (less heat, no reverb)").
Game fixes
- Earthworm Jim 2: no more background judder and no more occasional sprite/HUD flicker (issue #2).
- Tennis Arena: playable (it stood still before) and the court lines are drawn.
- Sega Ages Phantasy Star Collection: the menu no longer freezes.
- Faster: Fighting Vipers, Fighters Megamix, Virtua Fighter 2, Zero Divide, Guardian Heroes and Last Bronx (about 3 to 8 frames per second).
General
- Several hardware accuracy fixes (CD block, SH-2, SMPC, SCU, SCU DMA, SCSP, VDP1, VDP2).
- Very thin VDP1 polygons and lines no longer disappear.
- Faster SCU DSP interpreter.
- No longer needs the Boost library.
Tested on the R36S (RK3326). With the DSP on, scenes with heavy sound effects can cost a few percent (up to about 4 % measured).
