ePSXeCutor 1.6.0

edit> opps....forgot to post the changes

- Fixed some cdrom emulation regressions and added more accurate cdrom
emulation which fixed Gran Turismo 2, Dance Dance Revolution series,
Gear Fighter Deboh, Hokuto no Ken and Gundam Battle Assault 2.

- Made changes to cdrom emulation to make modchip detecting games work.
Fixes Legend of Dragon US, Winning Eleven 2002, Um Jammer Lammy,
Omega Boost JAP, Wild Arms 2nd Ignition JAP, Saga Frontier 2 JAP,
Chocobo Racing JAP and possibly others.

- Added support for autopause when playing CDDA sound. It should fix the
problems with music in games like Tomb Raider I.

- Added support for report mode when playing CDDA sound. It fixes
tekken 1 music and Lemmings 3D. (if you have problems with this change
it can be disabled with the commandline -disablereportmode).

- Fixed some problems reading subchannel. (Harvest Moon)

- Minor changes to change disc function. (Arc the lad 3)

- Now the memcards are autosaved on the fly. It should solve the
problem of lost memcards if the emulator crashes on gameplay.
(Remember that it is a good idea to backup your memcards often)

- Added gun emulation using a mouse. (Time Crisis 1, 2)

- Now the mouse emulation can be selected in the second gameport,
only 1 mouse is supported, so if you do enable it, it will be
disabled in the first pad.

- It is now possible to select analog, digital and disabled mode on
every gamepad.
(Thanks to everybody who helped testing it

- Included multitap support. In this version only 1 multitap is
supported. If you select multitap, it will support 4 gamepads, that
will be connected to the first gameport of the psx. Multitap must
only be enabled in games that support it, in the other games
the gamepads won't work if multitap is enabled.

- The keys F5 and F6 have a new function. F6 is used for select a pad,
and F5 will toggles digital/analog mode on the selected pad.
(you need upgrade your gpu plugins to 1.73 or superior)

- The dos window that shows the info messages can be enabled/disabled
from the GUI.

- Included support for CDI isos. (Discjuggler format)

- Fixes to the CD-Rom decoder and the core which made some more games
playable. For example, Spyro 2 PAL, Spyro 3 PAL, Front Mission 3,
Batman Gothan City Racer, Duke Nukem: Land of babes, Ridge Racer JAP,
Nekketsu Oyako, Bust a Grove 2 JAP and others.

Wtf is ePSXe???? Hehehehehe....
Greatest news this month.

[Metalmurphy]

hum... there's another topic about this :P

[Kirby]

It's always nice to keep news in the forums as well as the main page. Some people don't even go through the main page you know

[scottlc]

This is excellent news!!! Downloading now...

[Ali]

Wow! Demo Calb and Galtor still workin. Awesome.

[Felipefpl]

epsxe is optimized?it is fast?

[scottlc]

One thing that I noticed was that the CORE CDR plugins still quote v1.5.2. So they haven't been changed. Correct?

[Chrono Archangel]

Correct. The core still good enough and no more [important]improvement needed, IMO.

[N1ghtw0lf]

Great news...done downloading...though i notice no big difference because i dont ahve any of those games that have fixes...it makes me feel special being up to date

[Andrew Hruska]

i was busy getting dial-up all day. Still catching up on the forums. downloading now.. i know we've all been waiting for this..

[Mats]

yay! now i can play ATL3! neat!

Kirby is correct. This counts as news, very good news at that, so it may stay without fear of being closed. Also, it never hurts to have news such as this in two places, the main page and the news section.
Good job Kirby.
sincerely,

come on thousand arms...
finally i can play GT2 though, thats some good news. and also now i won't have to listen to that annoying Paradox song when i play legend of dragoon. pa pa pa pa pa pa paradox. (or something)

I know this thread is getting a little old, but I just have to add a couple of things here. First, ePSXe now plays Army Men 3d perfectly. No more graphics glitches, yessssssssss! now all my PSX games play perfectly on ePSXe. Secondly, Koudelka now plays the first MDEC all the way through and starts the second MDEC. Big big improvement. But there is also a slight downside to this and that is I can't get XA music to play no matter what I do. I've tried all the SPUs (including the internal one) and it simply does not work.
The other thing is that the internal CD rom plugin does not work well for me either. It won't load Army Men 3d or Ms. PacMan Maze Madness. All the other CD plugins do load these games. But those are the only two things, other than that, as they say in the NBA "It's all good."

[Utils]

Does vib ribbon work?

[Galway no Sora]

Uh, ... excuse me, Utils you'd better change that sig before admin remove it.

1. It considered as ecchi.
2. The height size 198 is larger than max size 100.
