2009 June 30 openMSX 0.7.2 released
As promised, openMSX 0.7.2 is now available, identical to 0.7.1, except for the already mentioned bug fix. Enjoy!
2009 June 29 openMSX 0.7.2 will be here soon...
Oops, we found a problem in openMSX 0.7.1, just after we had released it... Due to a small bug in a Tcl script, openMSX wasn't able to load savestates with paths that contain spaces, which is the most common case on standard Windows installations. 0.7.2 will be available very soon to fix that.
2009 June 28 openMSX 0.7.1 released
openMSX 0.7.1—IWCA approved—includes a brand new installer with binaries which have been created in a brand new way, using Microsoft Visual C++ 2008. This means smaller binaries and also support for 64-bit Windows operating systems. Also, several long standing problems have been fixed in the Windows release of openMSX. E.g., it now includes full support for unicode! For the rest we have mostly fixed smaller issues and added some cool demonstrations of what one can do with the combination of (Tcl) scripting, the debug command and the OSD. Together with openMSX an updated version of Catapult, our user-friendly GUI, was released. Please read the release notes for details.
2009 January 7 openMSX 0.7.0 released
openMSX 0.7.0—Lazarus—includes the long awaited save states feature, fully automatic host to MSX keyboard mapping and an improved dir-as-disk feature with full transparency. Furthermore, we have added a technology preview of our new On-Screen-Display. Also we have an even better performance and several other enhancements and bug fixes on many places. Together with openMSX an updated version of Catapult, our user-friendly GUI, was released. Please read the release notes for details.
2007 December 11 openMSX 0.6.3 released
openMSX 0.6.3—Crystal Clear—includes advanced resampling for aliasing-free sound, a stereo balance setting for each sound chip, recording of separate channels, PSG detune and vibrato and some non-sound-related improvements as well. Also, a hang on Windows PCs with multi-core/HT CPUs is fixed. Together with openMSX an updated version of Catapult, our user-friendly GUI, was released. Please read the release notes for details.
2007 August 27 No Windows support anymore??
We've said it before: we need someone in our team to help us maintain the Windows port of openMSX. At the moment there is no one who provides us structural support for the Windows port. Without a person who can very regularly build and test openMSX and help in case of (rare) Windows specific issues, we cannot maintain the Windows port any longer. We may find a way to build the next release, but even that is uncertain; if we can manage, it will most likely be released (much) later than the Source and Mac versions. If you care and you want to help: please contact us as soon as possible!
2007 April 15 openMSX 0.6.2 released
openMSX 0.6.2—Oscar—includes video recording, more realistic PSG and SCC sound, significant optimizations, easier to use game trainers, as well as a lot of other improvements and bugfixes. Together with openMSX a new version of Catapult, our user-friendly GUI, was released. Please read the release notes for details.
2006 September 17 openMSX moves to Subversion
Today we moved the main openMSX project to Subversion (SVN). This means that you have to use a different way to get the latest openMSX sources now. It is explained in the updated online manual, in the Compilation Guide. Snapshots are now also taken from SVN. We removed the snapshot of Catapult, because Catapult as has been released so far is pronounced dead. A rewrite using Python and Qt4 is in the works though. You can get a snapshot of that project, instead.
Other news that we forgot to post here: there is a universal binary available for Mac OS X users, see the download section.
2006 July 31 openMSX 0.6.1 released
openMSX 0.6.1—Chernoton Meltdown—includes runtime switchable machines and extensions, a lot of new video filters (some of which use pixel shaders), as well as a lot of other improvements and bugfixes. Together with openMSX a new version of Catapult, our user-friendly GUI, was released. Please read the release notes for details.
2006 July 23 Web site restyled
A redesign of the openMSX web site was long overdue. And with the restructuring of the site, we've also included 2 different layouts. Hurray for CSS :-)
2006 July 23 openMSX needs you!
That is, if you've got some spare time and want to develop fun software for Windows. The openMSX team desperately needs Windows developers, both for coding on the openMSX code itself, and also for Catapult. Don't hesitate! Fire up you IRC client and visit us at #openmsx on Freenode.net. We won't bite. Really!
