v1.7.0

Project-Friday v1.7.0 - Landstalker (Mega Drive) recompiled for Steam Deck / Linux and Windows.

New in v1.7.0

  • About a third less CPU load (measured on the Steam Deck: 23.7 s -> 15.1 s for the same 6000-frame test recording): cooler and quieter Deck, longer battery life. The project's own renderer got faster, and the leftover work of the old emulator renderer is gone.
  • Less emulator inside, nothing to see or hear: the video chip's data path (writes, registers, DMA) and the system start-up now run on the project's own code; Genesis Plus GX's renderer is only kept as a test picture. Every step was checked against the old way on all 74 test recordings (identical game state, sound and picture).
  • Everything from v1.6.0 is included (rebuilt dungeon map, Modern HUD life numbers, Sprint, Smooth Scrolling, experimental Friday Hints).

Downloads

  • Steam Deck / Linux: Project-Friday-x86_64.AppImage (make it executable, start it, pick your ROM).
  • Windows 10 / 11 (experimental): Project-Friday-windows-x64.zip (extract the whole zip, start Project-Friday.exe).

SHA-256 (to check your download, no extra file needed): AppImage 5e258ca70f093b23b11eff24cf676b2b13c31e3f7f6d57ddf7c5a7b874971074, Windows zip 3b9be1176a263a8dbe32c8da783c11fb981642da604694108f2ccc3562a1761c (built by GitHub Actions from the tagged source).
