NeoCD PSP v0.6.1

Well if nothing else, Zelurker works fast! He released a fix for NeoCD PSP 6.0 before we even found out it was out. There was alot fixed and improved in this version of yoyofr?s original NeoCD PSP v0.5, the NeoGeo CD emulator for the PSP, so we’ll get right to the changes:

Version 0.6
– fixed the crash in Karnov’s revenge when pressing X on the title screen.
– Fixed the freeze of magician lord when you enter your name for a hiscore
– Fixed the freeze of 2020 super baseball at start
– The fps counter is now readable (does not blink all the time as before), and it really displays 60 when it should, and not 61.
– Autoframeskip : in the menu you can choose frameskip: auto. In this mode, the game skips frames when it has to only. If you display the fps counter in this mode, it shows the number of frames actually skipped between [] if it has skipped some.
– Finally fixed the disappearing graphics in “Art of fighting”
– Fixed sounds for games with very big samples (art of fighting for example)
– Reverted to the loading picture from neocdsdl, quite better than the the previous one… !
– Fixed bad music un bust a move and probably some other bad sounds in some other games by adapting the code for the ym2610 from raine !
– Worked around the crash of Cross Swords 2 : it’s caused by an error in decoding the 3rd track (mp3). But it doesn’t make any sense, and even if the file is re-encoded, I still get the error. I worked around it by making it a non fatal error, now the track is just ignored. I’ll have
to investigate this later…
– When a game tries to load a mp3 and you didn’t create a mp3 directory for it (neocd.mp3) don’t display anymore a stupid error message behind the game screen
– Speedup : use solid masks to avoid transparent sprites
– Removed the 68k & z80 frequencies options from the gui, they would be ignored because of the new timers. I should add speed hacks one day…
– LOTS of code cleanup

Known problems :
– After launching 3 or 4 games in a row, you loose sound effects !!!

Version 0.6.1
-Fixed bug with transparent sprites handling which made lots of sprites to disappear in Art of Fighting 2, and some others
-I made sure the audio is really muted before loading game files (it was creating an annoying noise when loading “Art of Fighting 2” game files, at the begining of the game).
-Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer should work now, it was just an error message which was messing the game screen.
