another release to address a couple bugs present in previous versions, including two or three critical issues (crashes).
fixes
- fix severe crash when using OPL4
- fix possible crash when importing an XM file
- fix crash when importing a config file
- fix ESFM output being inverted
- fix Y channel selector in X/Y osc (thanks Eknous)
- set default SDL audio driver on Windows Vista to
winmmin order to get audio working again - fix duty effect not working without note on VRC6
- fix VIC-20 on/off macro or note off not being taken into account when playing from position
changes/additions
- improve chip mixing for certain presets (SCC, PC-88 and PC-98) - thanks Iyatemu!
- YM2612 chip is now YM2612 by default (it was YM3438 before)
- Windows 2000 support
- add winners from the Blank Contest to Demo Songs
- add speed drift compensation options to VGM export
- this is added in order to compensate for a slight, yet noticeable difference in playback speed when using DeadFish's Genesis VGM player
note for Windows XP/Legacy Systems users
the Windows XP version of Furnace is working once again. I've had an issue with the compiler, which has been temporarily sorted out by downgrading the C runtime package.
as a bonus, Furnace now supports Windows 2000!!! you'll need DirectX 9 installed though.
note for Windows Vista users
this release should work properly on Vista now. it wasn't launching due to dependency on a 7-exclusive function (and after fixing there wouldn't be sound out of the box due to an incomplete WASAPI implementation).
a user has reported that sound still does not work as it should. if it does not, try changing the audio backend to PortAudio in Settings > Audio.
