The new scaling mode is a huge improvement. I've tested it a bit, and it doesn't seem to affect the speed of the emulator.

Im more excited about RTC. Yay

According to the author, he designed the RTC to work with Pokémon Crystal uniquely.
From what I read he hasn't tested other games using RTC.

Destructobot: does it scale to fullscreen, thus changing the image ratio?

 

[TLSpartan]

Im going to go test Pokemon Silver for RTC.

EDIT- Forgot SD card Reader cant do it

No, but I wish it did. More pixels = more better.

I am still to test this zoom feature, BTW here's how it looks when zoomed in:

looks a lot better keep on updating! Nutki!

This new update is amazing.

I could be mistaken, but it feels like some sort of frameskip has been implemented in some of the slower GBC games... Dragon Warrior III and Lufia felt like they were running basically full-speed.

Azure Dreams is the best game ever though

This is DLDI build right? So does this work with DLDIwiki's M3 CF DLDI, which fails read aligment test?

 

[loathsome]

Freaking awesome! I'll test this out asap

Can't figure out how to scale .. how do I do that? edit; Nevermind

L + Y.

 

[bobrules]

Just tried it, the bilinear upscaling mode is much better than the nearest neighbour upscaling. Great improvements!

Just thought I'd say, Dragonball Z: Legendary Super Warriors doesn't seem to be working very well, can you add this to the "To Do" list? So that you can get the emulator to play this rom?

Fantastic update, this is like a huge jump from 0.8

I like the new zoom option with the bilinear feature as it makes the games look better. Plus some games work now, so overall a great update.

 

[thegame07]

So do most games work with this

 

[jesterscourt]

I know this is going to sound like a strange request, but is it possible to put a slight filter on the old GB games when emulated so that it has that "light green" tone to it? I mean, at least for me, that's how they looked. Actually thinking about it, having an Indigo-light type filter would be cool as well... Am I just too old to be waxing poetic on the gameboy toaster?

 

[loathsome]

.. Nobody stops you from trying, thegame

And yeah, Pokémon, Wario and Mario works .. enough for me.

 

[looneyboy784]

compatability is about the same as .8 but it has better scaling, supports RTC, and fixes problems with a few games. Not to say that the compatability is bad with this emulator is bad.

 

[thegame07]

I just tried it and i must say im quite impressed

 

[HBK]

Yeah, I'm gonna try it later, looking forward for RTC.
