New 2.0 architecture advantages:

  • Simplified emulator Core, making it much more portable
  • Removed all GUI code from plugins, making them simpler and more portable
  • User interface development is not tied to Core emulator releases
  • All messages from core/plugins can be filtered and shown in GUI instead of only on console
  • Video Extension allows Front-end to override some video functions, ie to support embedded render window
  • Startup in Fullscreen mode, instead of always starting in windowed mode and switching to FS after few seconds
  • video resolution can be given via command-line parameter
  • all configuration options for core and plugins are in a single config file, can be configured with a single GUI
  • dummy plugins are automatically used if plugin loading fails for any reason
  • core and plugins all use the same conventions for where to put data/config files

Mupen64Plus core:

  • New feature: cheat code support
  • New feature: Keyboard shortcuts for Core commands are now user-configurable
  • New feature: can load/save PJ64 state files
  • Major code cleanup, refactored build system to separate source and object files
  • Removed many dependencies to simplify porting to other platforms
  • Moved all of the SDL event-related stuff into a new source file eventloop.c
  • Use XDG directory convention for file locations on Unix
  • bugfix: frame advance feature should advance every frame, instead of every vertical interrupt (every field)
  • bugfix: allow diagonal hat movements for core joystick commands
  • bugfix: modified SDL event loop joystick code so that gameshark button press is captured, and joystick commands that are level-triggered instead of edge-triggered (such as fast foward) can be accommodated
  • bugfix: fixed the outstanding SDL event issues by re-writing the code which handles the joystick-event-driven core commands. Now the axis-based commands use hysteresis and there is a single global event function for determining if the gameshark button is pressed
  • bugfix: OSD crash after pause-stop-start-pause of emulator
  • bugfix: Set video width and status, aiDacrate during savestate load
  • bugfix: in pure interpreter, Dont allow to override r0 register
  • bugfix #52: PJ64 load state patch from olejl77
  • bugfix #268: use aligned malloc and mprotect to set executable status for dynarec emitted code
  • bugfix #51: Floating Point Register data was not correctly converted when switching between 32-bit (MIPS-I) mode and 64-bit (MIPS III).
    New code more closely emulates behavior of r4300 hardware. Fixes collision problems in Banjo-Tooie
  • bugfix #272: rounding mode for x86 FPU not being set correctly in interpreter and pure interpreter cores
  • bugfix: many games need different ScreenUpdateSetting to work properly with Rice Video
