v1.1.225

SemaTor 1.1.225 — Better controls, wider views and smoother disk handling

This update brings together the improvements since public release 1.1.222.

1.Time Bandit enhancements

Fixed loading issues with supported disk editions and added optional 16:9 and 21:9 gameplay views, with cameras kept inside the map boundaries. Versions 0.96, 2.0 and 2.1 also gain an optional Energy Shield, with a faster early-game pacing option for 2.0 and 2.1.

2. Game-specific controls

Improved control pages and gamepad defaults across 13 profiles covering 11 titles. Mouse-driven games now have gamepad pointer movement, left/right clicks and adjustable sensitivity. Existing custom mappings are preserved; restore the game’s defaults if you want to adopt the updated layout.

3. Zak McKracken fixes
   Fixed the missing cursor and unresponsive mouse clicks. Auto-crop is now disabled specifically for Zak to keep the picture stable when subtitles appear, without changing your global preference.

4. Easier disk changes
   Improved automatic switching between matching game disks. When manual selection is needed, an in-game disk picker shows likely candidates without sending you back to the full library. Some custom loaders still require manual selection.

5. Library polish
   The previous 90% library size is now the new 100% default. The update button also stays visible in the top bar, showing whether an update is available or you’re already running the latest version.

6. More natural floppy sounds
   Drive sounds now respond more closely to disk activity, with improved startup, spinning and seeking sounds, plus more varied loading passages. Repeated reads no longer hammer the same short recording. Drive sounds remain optional.

Available for Linux and Windows, with signed updates for existing installations. Windows still needs broader hardware testing; compatibility can vary by game edition.
