SMS_S60 v1.4

The purpose of this release is to add better usability and compatibility with older phones hardware.
It improves speed too, especially noticeable when the phone screen is big and NTSC machine mode is set.

Changes introduced in v1.4:
  • Added a dialog box in "Config. Screen" menu when an invalid screen orientation is chosen.
  • Automatic screen orientation refresh if phone's layout changes while in game.
  • Compatible with older phones (those using ARM9 CPUs).
  • Optimized emulation, especially noticeable on slower configurations.
This version should work with older phones like Nokia E50 or Nokia N73 (or many others).
As long as they have at least 256x192 screen resolution and run Symbian OS 9.x, everything should be fine.

SMS_S60 v1.3b

I've been trying more different games lately and some of them didn't work as expected so I had to do some debugging and fixing.
This release fixes a couple of bugs within emulator core.

Changes introduced in v1.3b:
  • Fixed "The Flash" not properly working. The guy moved alone and wouldn't allow you to play at all.
  • Fixed "Rainbow Islands" showing just terrain, ignoring items and monsters.
  • I'm pretty sure there are more affected games, just didn't try them all.
