Note

This AppImage was accidentally built for x86-64-v2, and will need a CPU newer than an Intel Nehalem or AMD Bulldozer.

Changes and Features

• Updated YunoSynth to v0.4.0:
  • NES support
  • Famicom Disk System support
  • Seta X1-010 support
  • Philips SAA1099 support
  • Sega PWM (32x) support
  • Bandai Wonderswan support
• Enhancement: Added the --normalize command line option for automatic peak normalization of rendered files.
• Enhancement: Added the --quiet command line option.
• Enhancement: Pressing S will now let you toggle a "quit after current song" option during playback.
• Enhancement: Added the equalizer-disabled-during-rendering config option. Turning this on will allow you to normally have an EQ enabled during playback, but also have it automatically disabled when rendering. This also works in per-song config files.
• Enhancement: CUE files can now be generated when rendering.
• Enhancement: The CPU usage is now shown during playback and rendering.
• Enhancement: You can pass a directory to Benben directly and it will play all files it finds in that directory.
• Enhancement: Errors that get printed on stderr are now redirected to a file (e.g. ~/.local/share/benben/stderr.log) by default. This is to prevent things such as PortAudio or YunoSynth from printing errors to the screen that can mess up the UI. This can be disabled in the config.
• Fixed: JSPF playlist loading works again.
• Fixed: You can now go to the next/previous song, or quit, while a song is fading out.
• Fixed: The EQ setting now properly "sticks" between songs when it's toggled during playback.
