Mikage alpha release: March 2020
Added 2020-03-15 11:03:59 +0000 UTCThe big update is finally done - readily available from the download area for patrons!
You can read the full list of changes here. Notably this includes an early prototype of the new CPU JIT, but furthermore:
- The memory subsystem has been optimized for improved performance
- The texture cache has been rewritten for better accuracy and performance, rendering the "Eager Texture Cache" option obsolete
- A circular input overlay was added for proper circle pad input
- The 3DS system font API is supported now (font title from 3DS must be user-provided currently)
These changes lay the ground for fullspeed emulation: Some games already see a huge frame rate improvement (notably Retro City Rampage DX and yeti3DS). With further work in the future (especially on the CPU JIT), more games will start running at playable speed!
There are also some hugely exciting compatibility updates in the pipeline for the next release - suffice to say there's a big title you'll see covered a lot soon ;)
