Illegal HMOVEs are now handled correctly, resulting in improvements to many ROMs. All HMOVE emulation 'cheats' were removed; the emulation is now cycle-exact in this area. <li>Improved emulation of the Cosmic Ark 'starfield effect', also used in Stay Frosty; the emulation now looks very accurate. <li>Many improvements to the normal TIA rendering code, fixing problems when disabling certain graphical objects (certain objects were being misdrawn when others were enabled/disabled). <li>Improved TIA collision handling in the non-displayable area of the screen; this fixes problems in RAMRacer ROM. <li>Improved TIA redraw problems/graphical garbage when ROMs generate many more scanlines than a real TV would allow; this fixes problems in Q-Bert and the recent Playaround demo. <li>Added 'Fixed Debug Colours' option similar to the no$26k emulator. This allows each graphical object to be drawn in a fixed colour, more clearly showing how the objects interact. HMOVE blanks are also shown in a different colour. The TIA now emulates a 7-colour register model, allowing even shared objects to show different colours. This is toggled with the 'Alt Comma' key. <li>Related to 'Fixed Debug Colours', HMOVE blanks can now toggled during TIA display with the 'Alt-m' key. <li>Added rewind functionality to the debugger, where states are saved after each step/trace/scanline/frame advance. Pressing 'Alt-r' or clicking the new rewind button will undo up to 100 previous operations. <li>Added 'electron beam indicator' to the debugger TIA output. Basically, this is a visual pointer indicating the position of the electron gun when scanning the display. <li>Added ability to completely disable fullscreen mode, which fixes problems for some people where fullscreen mode was being entered even if it wasn't enabled. <li>Added '-joyallow4' commandline argument and associated UI item to allow all 4 directions to be pressed simultaneously on a joystick. <li>Improvements made to the ROM launcher: the backspace key now goes to the parent directory (this key can be remapped), and previously selected directories are now automatically selected. <li>Added support for 2IN1 bankswitching scheme, where two ROMs are present in one binary. Currently supported are 2, 4, 8, and 16K ROMs. <li>Added bankswitch support for the 6K version of Starpath/Supercharger ROMS. This allows the 6K version of Cubis to run. <li>Updated bankswitching schemes FASC and MB; they are now known as FA and F0, respectively. This naming brings Stella in line with other emulators and programming utilities. <li>Fixed editing of cheats in the Cheat Dialogue; the old cheat wasn't being removed. </ul> | Stella 3.0 | updated | Stella |

The GPU performance level should now be raised, if required, in this scenario. <li>Fixed VDPAU to avoid "display preemption" in some cases where a VdpOutputSurface is deleted while it is still active (either queued or visible) in a VdpPresentationQueue. In particular, this can occur in MPlayer when using the "-fs" option, and could completely prevent VDPAU from operating successfully, depending on the exact timing conditions. </ul> | NVIDIA Linux Display Driver 185.18.36 | updated | NVIDIA Linux Display Driver |
