Month: 2025-09 — The FBNeo project delivered a targeted set of stability, compatibility, and performance improvements across multiple cores, with a strong emphasis on Mega Drive/Genesis, SMS, and legacy Spectrum/Speccy support. Key work includes updating the Mega Drive core from gab75, refining multicart mapper handling, and optimizing runtime window recreation to reduce unnecessary redraws, leading to smoother emulation and lower resource usage. Data integrity and compatibility were strengthened by removing bad/incomplete Mega Drive dumps and unworking multicarts, and by correcting Gun3in1 overdumps for accurate data. Audio/chip behavior improvements now ensure proper SN76489 variant resets and SEL Sega E volume tuning, improving sound fidelity. Peripheral and input enhancements added Mega Drive lightgun support (Menacer/Justifier) and expanded SMS capabilities with a new control interface and phaser support, including a shootstar bug fix. In addition, cross-core updates accelerated Spectrum/Speccy loading and carried gab75-based updates across multiple cores (Snes? NES? ColecoVision, SG-1000, Speccy, etc.), along with I2C EEPROM support and ROM/data cleanup. These changes collectively improve stability, compatibility, and developer value, enabling more reliable emulation and broader feature support for end users.
