- fixed aspect ratio correction (overlay destroyed
its state, keyboard shortcut didn't always work),
as well as significantly sped it up on VGA and
SuperVidel
- smoother transitions between video modes
- reduce the number of video mode changes
- fixed a few extreme cases when triple buffering
could lose an update
- lighter ST RAM usage in the lite build
- removed hardware accessing init/deinit routines
- The only non-hires ultima engine is ultima1, not worth it. See
also https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/14790. This prevents adding
the 15 MB ultima.dat to the release archive.
- Disable hugo also in full version (oversight).
- Mention freemint version in readme.txt.
It was wrong (other engines are allowed to do infinite recursions?) and
Future Wars still isn't working properly at all times. I've decided to
remove it (i.e. Future Wars and Operation Stealth are not supported
anymore).
Small updates in readme.txt.
Similar to SuperVidel's but requires an additional C2P pass.
Also, a few optimizations added like cursor is being assumed to be in
a persistent memory so we don't copy it over. And it's using a mask
instead of key.
This graphics mode is not perfect though and works reliably only with
source surfaces allocated via Surface::init() otherwise wrong memory
location is being read.
Still, can gain quite a few CPU cycles, especially on 640x480 screens.
- surface setup for optimized 4-bit C2P routine wasn't properly detected
- STFA pretends to support Falcon sampling frequencies on TT leading to
suboptimal sample mixing
- delayMillis() should check also for other events (fixes Future Wars)
but avoid doing it for SCI as its MIDI timer would call itself in a
recursive loop
- SuperVidel doesn't need to use VsetScreen() in VBL anymore
- Wetlands, Teen Agent, Shivers and Private Eye need non-aligned
surface widths
- However Wetlands and Private Eye use setCursorPalette, see
https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/14524
- Added warning for Phantasmagoria's 630x450, nothing can be done there
as the game also requires non-aligned surfaces and at the same time
the buffer has to be aligned on 16 bytes.
- BDF scaling disabled by default
- Atari TT support
- all video and audio is now handled via XBIOS
- reworked IKBD handling using Kbdvbase vectors, esp. Kbdvec()
- video uses proper triple buffer
- arbitrary game screen size support
- many fixes and optimizations
- "fat" version uses repacked (zip -0) archives; also separate "data"
and "themes" folders
- "slim" version doesn't use any external themes (for speed reasons)
ScummVM engines are not built for synchronous screen locking (i.e.
updateScreen() can't be really used for any sort of blocking updates
otherwise performance suffers).
Single buffering now means deliberate tearing as a speed optimization
and triple buffering provides a tearingless picture with slight overhead.
- fix restoration of dirty rects from overlay
- fix vsync handling (don't try to be too smart; we can't store "vsync"
from anywhere because that wouldn't play nicely if a game has its own
"vsync" set) ... so keep the checkbox as is
- overlay restore for 640x400
- never wait for vbl in overlay
