Changelog Version 0.7 Release - 02 March 2015 Boot Loader: - Updated to the 2015.01 U-Boot bootloader. - Patched the bootloader to support bootz. Kernel: - Updated to the TI BSP 3.14 kernel. - Patched the TILCDC driver to exclude video modes with a refresh rate under 60Hz. - Built the kernel modules for the PowerVR OpenGL ES support. Application: - Split BeagleSNES into two applications: stand-alone SNES emulator and GUI with GBC/GBA/NES emulators. - Rendering is now done to OpenGL ES textures, rather than to the raw framebuffer. - End user is no longer restricted to 320x240 or 720x480! Textures are hardware-scaled to the native full screen size. - SDL FBCON target is still used to initialize framebuffer and get events, but rendering is now done via EGL. - All software scaling has been removed, so performance is much better than before. - XML config file has been given additional GBC, GBA, and NES tags to specify games for each platform. - Added icons for each game platform in the GUI list. - Gamepad button mapping is now much cleaner and works for all emulators with only one mapping. - User now bounces back to the GUI cleanly if a ROM file is not found. - fsync() and fdatasync() are used to ensure all snapshots and saved games are written out to the microSD card. File System: - Now requires an 8GB microSD card (3.7 GB for the FAT boot/data and 3.8 GB for the EXT4 rootfs). - Moved to Ubuntu 14.04.1 for the rootfs filesystem. - Installed the PowerVR daemon, EGL, and OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0 libraries from the SGX SDK. - Installed the EGL and OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0 headers from kronos.org. - Set up the rc.local to run BeagleSNES on startup.
