if you want it. (anomie)

interlace bit, we now pass the SNES Test Cart's

- Fix sprite windowing bug (anomie)
- Way back in 1.40 MK changed the Windows port to default

removed the hacks for games that dislike the MP5. So
we need to change the defaults elsewhere too... (anomie)

SDD-1 Decompression! This is a great day for the mods of the snes9x support forums!

[hushypushy]

well i decided to switch to ZSNES the other day....but i still love SNES9x, good to see that they are still releasing versions

EDIT: gah!!! the old controller config was the best anywhere IMO...the new one is just ...normal

[Kurbster]

I switched to ZSnes myself. I don't seem to get that problem with slowdowns anymore. Not saying that Snes9x isn't a good emulator, it is. But Zsnes has alot more action on their side

[Esturk]

The next version of Zsnes which is due out soon will have SDD1 Decompression, as well as tons of other awesome stuff. At least that's what pagefault says...;) There is also a new GUI, but not in the coming version. And we all know that pagefault is da MAN.

[Noxious Ninja]

At the risk of drifting off-topic... did they give up trying to port it to the Mac or not? Pagefault mentioned a few times that one of his friends was working on it, but he hasn't said anything since.

there is a Mac version of SNES9x; ive seen it in action
