Fixed

  • Don't add an extra frame when user stops the game

  • Fix garbage inputs caused by uninitialized inputs when game does not have focus
  • Always simulate the game window being on top-left corner so that games using global mouse coords do not desync

[1.1.1] - 2018-03-25

Added

  • Simulate a specific monitor resolution.
  • Improve fastforward by skipping OpenGL draw functions.

  • Add author field in movie files.
  • Add an option to pause at a specific frame.

Changed

  • Don't rely on the keyboard layout to determine keycodes from keysyms when feeding inputs to the game. Now using a standard qwerty keyboard layout.
  • Changed the way to store the game screen when using OpenGL (using framebuffers and renderbuffers). Now the screen capture stays inside the GPU, except when doing an encode.

Fixed

  • Always display the last frame of a movie during a fast-forward, so that a TAS can be more easily resumed.
  • Movie file browser does not ask for overwrite confirmation anymore.
  • Add an extra movie frame corresponding to the game startup, so that frame count and system time now match. Old movies will desync, the user needs to add one blank frame at the beginning.
  • Using both frame-advance and fast-forward now produces a faster frame-advance running speed.

[1.1.0] - 2018-02-25

Added

  • Add full controller inputs, including analog inputs.

Fixed

  • Use stack_t type to fix a compile error on recent glibc.
  • Fix a freeze when loading a savestate after a thread has been destroyed and immediately created, in which case pthread library recycle the same id. Now the state cannot be loaded in this case.
  • Releasing the frame advance key with another key now correctly stops the frame advance auto-repeat feature.

[1.0.0] - 2018-02-09

Initial release.
