This is a long-term stable release. A full changelog will be available at the forum link below later in the day. Also, please note that I have merged all of the various distributions into two packages. The Windows binary package now contains both the profile-optimized (fast) build, and the debugger build. The source code package now contains sources for bsnes, snesreader, snesfilter and supergameboy.
Changelog:
- added Direct3D HLSL pixel shader support [mudlord]
- fixed a signal issue that caused loading games to take 1-2 seconds longer in v059
- 21fx API revised to its final form, S-MSU (public documentation pending)
- worked around QTBUG-7188 to fix multi-file 7-zip file listbox to update when scrolling
- added scale max - normal, wide, and wide zoom modes to fullscreen mode
- added overscan cropping tool (needed for wide zoom mode; useful for developers simulating games on a real TV)
- added "go up one folder" button to file load dialog
- added group (un)assignment to the input settings window
- now honors input.allowInvalidInput setting; defaults to false [Jonas Quinn]
- cheat code editor grays out empty slots
- cheat code editor adds "clear selected" button to quickly erase multiple cheat codes
- to load folders as game images, folders must end in .sfc, .bs, .st, .gb now
- debugger: added S-CPU (H)DMA registers; S-SMP registers; S-DSP registers to properties list
- snesfilter: HQ2x filter is now multi-threaded (scales infinitely: the more cores you have, the less overhead required)
- pixelshaders: added screen curvature shader to simulate curved CRT tubes
- source: lots of code cleanup, as always
Eight hours of non-stop work, for the sole purpose of trying to
separate the file browser underlying mechanics from the bsnes-specific
stuff.
So far, it's going quite well. 95% of the functionality is there with
only 25% of the code size. Forked the underlying stuff to
nall/qt/file-dialog.moc.hpp, which is now designed to support
open+save+folder selection natively. Save mode adds a text box to
enter your own file name, and folder mode hides the filter drop-down
and all files automatically. The top bar now spans 100% of the width.
I like it more this way. I also killed the tree view in favor of a
list view, for the sole reason that I really can't stand how when you
go up a folder and the deeper tree is still open. Since the
QFileSystemModel is asynchronous, I can't close the tree nodes when
navigating up.
The simplifications were needed because it was getting damned-near
impossible to edit that mess of a file (diskbrowser.cpp.) Compare to
filebrowser.cpp, much cleaner. Now I should be able to add open-folder
concept for BS-X, ST and SGB games much easier. And of course, I
should be able to offer the base QFileDialog as an option, too.
After that, I'll probably export the hex editor to a generic class,
and then export the Qb stuff (window geometry save/restore, stock
check / radio menu buttons.)
Also, I just wiped out Windows XP and put Windows 7 back, just to fix
the video tearing issue relating to DWM and ... it works perfectly
fine. Zero tearing, zero skipping, zero audio popping. All I did was
start bsnes v059.04, set audio sync to the usual 31960, and it was
just fine. What the hell are people complaining about, exactly?
Changelog:
- added folder-up button to the file loading window
- hid new-folder button except on path selection window
- removed "Assign Modifiers as Keys" button; replaced with input.modifierEnable in the configuration file
- fixed a Qt signal issue that was causing ROM loading to take an extra second or two longer than necessary
- scale 5x setting will now maintain an exact multiple in both width and height for both NTSC and PAL modes
- re-added group assignment and unassignment to the input settings window
- re-wrote mouse capture code to be more intuitive, now uses buttons to set assignment
- re-added input.allowInvalidInput check to stop up+down and left+right key combinations by default [Jonas Quinn]
- split "Tools Dialog" menu option into separate items for each tool (Cheat Editor, Cheat Finder, State Manager)
- added S-SMP and S-DSP property information readouts to the debugger
