0.8.2

Fightcade 2 on the tube as it should be: every online match in the game's native resolution, with the Setup's buttons and a pure picture. The ISO comes with updates 8 and 9 already applied; an installed 0.8 or 0.8.1 gets the same changes through the updates at boot.

System changes:

  • The boot splash stays on screen until the menu or the frontend opens: before, it left halfway through the boot, and the login and the wait for the network (for the update check) were about 15 seconds of black screen
  • Esc closes the frontend and returns to the FliperOS menu, in Attract-Mode Plus, ES-DE, RetroFE, Pegasus and the Fightcade lobby (only when no game is open; inside a game, Esc stays with the game)
  • LXDE desktop: a window that doesn't fit the 640x480 screen, even maximized, makes the desktop scroll (move the mouse to the edge), so its buttons can be reached
  • Boot splash: the title of the default theme no longer gets stuck on "AliperOS"

Package changes:

  • Fightcade 2: each FBNeo and FBA game plays in its own native resolution at 15 kHz, like GroovyMAME in GroovyArcade (384x224 for CPS, with a Switchres modeline from GroovyMAME's game data), with no scaling to 320x240; SNES9x plays at the console's 256x224
  • Fightcade 2: pure picture in the emulators (no scanlines, bilinear filtering, shaders or effects) with VSync on
  • Fightcade 2: FBNeo and FBA get the buttons mapped in Setup > Joysticks, for each player
  • Fightcade 2: the lobby opens at 512x448, with bigger text on the tube
  • Fightcade 2: an FBNeo left open with no game after an error (missing ROM) closes by itself, instead of leaving a black square over the lobby

fliperos-setup changes:

  • New: Setup > Frontend > Add a custom frontend, to open any program you choose (label and command) as the frontend, including at boot; Edit or delete a custom frontend changes or removes it

Tool changes:

  • fliperos-buttons fbneo MAP VERSION: writes FBNeo's input preset from the Setup's button mapping
  • New fliperos-escquit (Esc closes the frontend) and fliperos-panning (desktop scrolling)

Documentation:

  • Fightcade 2 page: native resolution, pure picture and the lobby mode
  • Website: support section and the new desktop screenshot
