Gens 2.12 Released!

[Lefteris_D]

The Sega Genesis emulator Gens has reached version 2.12. Here is what is new in this release:

• Fixed a display corruption/flickering bug with DirectX that would often occur when switching between windowed and full-screen.
• Fixed a bug in regards to restoring windowed state minimized/maximized/etc) when switching between windowed and full-screen; sometimes Gens would not switch out of full-screen properly.
• New build process for win32 version, using MS VS.NET (VC70) with performance optimizations. Resulting binary is larger, but runtime performance appears better. Probably runs more smoothly on slower machines.

You can get it from here.

Holy shit, a new version

anyone know how to stop Gens from changing your monitor refresh rate / resoloution every time I open it... this applies both to full screen and window mode... any ideas?

[Zach]

It doesn't change your resolution and refresh rate, it changes your video mode to 16-bit

[frosted]

ah ha ! thank you.... knew it was doing something daft..... now... how to stop it doing this as its a pain in the bum... any ideas or is there no choice in the matter? can we choose to run it in 32 bit mode anywhere?

[Zach]

There is no choice in matter as far as I know. It forces 16-bit color for whatever reason

[frosted]

changing the depth is causing me probs you see, conflcting with winblinds etc and others when dropping the depth.... sometimes only way to get out of it is a restart ..... no matter, will keep pluggin away

[Zach]

Could always switch to Kega Fusion

3.0 just came out a few days ago

or, maybe you could try switching your desktop color to 16bit...if you're willing to do so
