frodo-wii/CHANGES.c64-network.org

TODO: Add ability to select files to load from disks in a menu c64-network.org, v2:

• Auto pause on menu enter
• Automatically save game info on screenshot timeout
• Fix multiple bindings to the same key
• Fix joystick input on the virtual keyboard

c64-network.org, v1:

• Sound is transferred in network play now

  • Joystick support is now SDL-based
• Fix all warnings
• Run/Stop handled
• Redesign the GUI completely
• Only one type of network connections now - no need to specify client or master
• Fix handling of network disconnects (also display a helpful message!)
• Don't display the network traffic string when connections close
• Fix handling of packets > 4096 bytes
• New SDL with GX graphics (although the impact for Frodo is

quite minimal!)

• Disable SAM (no need for it on the Wii!)

version 10:

• Link against Tantrics new SDL build. Improves sound quite a bit.
• Quit to the homebrew menu unless networking has been enabled ("hard"

quit fixes a networking issue)

• Added ability to recurse into directories (partly by Holger Eilts)
• Large redesign of menu layout and colors (Holger Eilts)
• Implemented sending text messages over the network to "taunt"

the other player (obviously a very important feature). Pressing F10 enables this.

• Rearranged menus (networking is more promptly displayed)
• Sound transfer for network play has been implemented, but is not

active

• Use 32KHz sound samplerate. This improves the cracking sound

problems from v9 a bit. It also allows sound to be transferred via the network to both Linux/Wii (sharing the same sample rate) and lowering the network transfer rate.

version 9:

• Fix a buffer overflow in the network status string…
• Add network version field and display an error message if

an un-matching network version is connected

• Select with zero timeout when waiting for peer addresses
• Don't block the server when connecting and instead draw a status

string to indicate that we're waiting for a connection

• Networking support now works (but without sound being transferred). A

broker is installed on c64-network.game-host.org.

• Link with Yohanes port of SDL, modified by Danny Milo to get USB

keyboards working while still having the Home key do what it should

version 8:

• Lots of networking code which will not work yet
• Also add the analog part of the classic controller
• Make it possible to control the game with the Nunchuk (Aaron Morris)
• Correct binding of shifted keys (thanks to Bob Forgan)
• Fix binding keys without the classic controller (plus etc were missing) – Simon Kagstrom <simon.kagstrom@gmail.com>, Wed Mar 11 19:46:11 CET 2009

version 7:

• Exit with SYS_RETURNTOMENU to make WAD's work
• Fix bug when multiple buttons are bound to the same keys, we now simply skip one of the bindings.
• Wiimote direction keys and "fire" can now be bound to keyboard keys
• Allow binding 1 and other extra buttons to joystick directions and fire
• Simplify menu code even more – Simon Kagstrom <simon.kagstrom@gmail.com>, Mon Feb 23 19:30:09 CET 2009

version 6:

• Handle reset button (back to menu)
• General code cleanup, e.g., simplified menu system and reduced the amount of code for that and some other things
• Increase key delay (should hopefully avoid the LOQD problem)
• Implemented a virtual keyboard which is used to select key bindings and also to type in strings

• Don't load files with zero-size (allows .d64 files where the first file is not a PRG to load correctly). Thanks to Dominik Reichardt for pointing this out – Simon Kagstrom <simon.kagstrom@gmail.com>, Sat Jan 24 11:48:01 CET 2009

version 5:

• Some wiimote sanity checks
• (Binary only) don't link with Yohanes SDL version anymore. It causes the home button in the menu to quit the emulator. I'll investigate why it happens, not sure right now. – Simon Kagstrom <simon.kagstrom@gmail.com>, Fri Jan 16 20:26:12 CET 2009

version 4:

• (Binary only) link with Yohanes version of SDL (http://wiiapple.googlecode.com). This might bring USB keyboard support, but that's untested.

• Fixed + and - bindings on the wiimote and a keybinding bug which caused keypresses to go unnoticed.

  • Build the SC version of frodo, which makes some more games work or some work better. For example, I think that the sound in Exploding fist is now correct

• Added arrow up/down/left/right and some other keys as bindable

  • Some more "auto load" options, and rearranged the top menu order to help with this
  • Store preferences together with save games and reload those when the saved state is restored again
  • Corrected file extension matching
  • Show current key binding in the menu
• Added ability to turn on 1541 CPU emulation in the "other options" menu (hint from Vermeylen Schoonakker)
• Make menu delay a bit shorter (looks better with the classic controller)
• Merged with the Frodo CVS trunk. This changes a number of things, most visibly the palette – Simon Kagstrom <simon.kagstrom@gmail.com>, Fri Jan 16 17:58:51 CET 2009

version 3:

• Various cleanup of the code
• Fixed a bug in the menu code which was triggered when there is more than one submenu
• Make speed configurable (basically fast/normal/slow) and change the menus a bit
• Skip SDL_Delay and SDL_GetTicks() which seem to give strange results. Use gettime and usleep instead.
• Improve performance a bit more by doing a custom blit-to-double-size implementation
• Fixed changelog format
• Bought a Classic controller and fixed so that it actually works…
• Allow controlling the joystick via the keyboard for the host (basically to ease debugging)

– Simon Kagstrom <simon.kagstrom@gmail.com>, Sun Jan 11 19:46:01 CET 2009

version 2:

• Also support the .prg and p00, s00 formats. Only .prg has been tested.
• Added support for classic controllers. NOTE: This is untested since I don't have a classic controller!
• Fixed some corner-cases in the prefs setting to avoid loosing key bindings etc
• Improve keyboard bindings to handle press and release correctly and also both controllers at the same time (key is released when the last controller releases it)
• Handle keycode 0 and therefore make del work
• Remove the 1-1 graphics option and make stretched the default. Should avoid "helpful and constructive" messages such as http://wiinewz.com/forums/nintendo-news/91829-frodo-v1-0-a.html#post580580
• Improved speed just a bit (by enabling compiler optimization!)
• Only save prefs on exit
• Pause sound in the menu
• Handle very long filenames better (thanks Corey89 for pointing this out)
• Corrected file sorting
• Better Makefile
• More keycodes added (C= etc)

version 1:

• Initial release
