z26 -- An Atari 2600 Emulator (1.38) -- Aug. 22, 2000 ----------------------------------------------------- What's New in this version? --------------------------- Paddle games can now be played with a mouse or a PC trackball. Trackball emulation which allows joystick games to be played with a mouse or PC trackball. Lightgun support via the mouse or PC trackball (Sentinel, Shooting Gallery). Some mouse support in the GUI. You can point and click to launch a game. Canyon Bomber and Backgammon are now treated as paddle games. Support for Megaboy cart. Support for overriding the bankswitching scheme for ROM images that z26 doesn't support automatically. Use the -g command line switch. There are some new features of particular interest to game developers including a scanline counter (-n) and the ability to emulate the PAL color changes (-o) which occur when a PAL game has the wrong number of scanlines. We also made some changes to, and added documentation for trace mode which can help developers debug their games. Special thanks to Eckhard Stolberg. He wrote much of the code in this release. But he also shamed me into doing some of the work too. ;-)
