And another release to close off my holiday week :p The zzogl plugin has been updated to svn r3536 which should fix quite a few compatibility issues and is closer to what will be used for 0.9.7 release. You can download the regular plugin dmg here. Just to remind about the installation process here’s the link for the old youtube plugin installation video

There was a problem with zzogl not showing some elements of the gui, e.g. arrow in ffx menu so that’s one of the things resolved

VS

So, just to update, 0.9.7 compiles fine, most of the bugs have been rooted out, so it’s progressing nicely. Just a small preview, here’re first several minutes of ffx. Doesn’t crash after the first fmv anymore

ZZOgl has also been updated to match the more recent svn, so the video is running pcsx2 0.9.7 beta 2 equivalent pretty much.

A 13 minute ffx playthrough on the latest release can you watch here – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVVCrHvjdYA

Apologies for this but I’ve been working on 0.9.7 today and this led to fixing a very big performance problem in 0.9.6. Please redownload the package again, this will include the updated binary. The performance difference should be 25% to 75% faster than before. For once, I can now play ffx full speed

Enjoy!

P.S. The first fmv for ffx is still broken, as 0.9.7 is booting bios already, I’m spending most of my time on 0.9.7 but I still have it on my ToDo list.

I’m releasing the latest 0.9.6 into the wild, the new link for the package is here. The package only works on Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and higher, you’ve been warned.

The new package includes the zerospu2/portaudio by default and the version of zzogl included is the latest r213 so no more downloads required.

The package should install fine on top of the previous release but I’ll also try to release an uninstaller at some point.

I’m still having problems setting up a SL in vm so got caught up in some 0.9.7 development. So, 0.9.7 is compiled and I have the gui showing up, lots more debugging still to do but it seems possible that 0.9.6 SL and 0.9.7 will go live the same week

The package has been just built and ready for delivery. The only thing left is to set up the SL virtual machine in vmware to test that the package works properly on empty SL machine and this should be released.

In other news, porting work has just started on 0.9.7 current svn. You can follow some progress if impatient here: Activity

I’m going on holiday for a week, so the release is definitely going live within this period. Stay tuned!
