New GBA2P features and next projects (Patreon)
Content
A new release of the GBA2P core is available on the Github page:
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/GBA_MiSTer/tree/GBA2P/releases
Changes:
- You can now select to view not only vertical and horizontal splitscreen, but also choose exclusive Screen1 or Screen2. This was requested for games that share the screen.
- Audio mixing is now available. You can choose to either output only core 1, only core 2 or both mixed. Also you can set it to output a Stereo to Mono mixed core 1 on the left output and core 2 on the right output.
With this release I will end the work on the GBA2P core for now. I know there are still some games that are not supported and some options that might be useful and can be added. However, all the popular games can be played together and I feel like other things are more important for now.
I have two smaller projects that I want to tackle next.
First is a Cheat Engine for Lynx. Rimsky prepared a special package with the MiSTer Cheat format on my request. It's already some months since he did and it's not only fair to do that now, it will also make this core more complete.
The second little project is a splitscreen gameboy core. I have so much fun playing the GBA games in multiplayer and Gameboy has even more multiplayer games. Also the serial communication is already working, as Rattboi has proven two years ago, so there is no reason to skip it.
Have fun!
