Alright, then. This was the new feature from the last WIP:

Multitap support for Nach and tetsuo55 :)

New WIP up as well. This one adds Pogo's request, there's a new config
variable named input.analog_axis_resistance. The setting works both
for the DirectInput/Windows and SDL/Linux drivers.

It used to be 75% on Windows, 50% on Linux. Now it defaults to 50% on
both platforms. If any of you guys have an analog stick and want to
come up with a better default value, please feel free. I wasn't able
to pull off Ryu's spinning kick thing very easily at 75%, for
instance.

I used to give out access to anyone who found a new emulator bug in a
public release, but that's not working so well anymore ...

Eventually I'd like to get a system set up where anyone can get
access, yet avoid having the WIPs leak. I really don't want to bother
emu news site readers with daily WIP updates that change ~3kb of code.

bsnes
Version: 0.033
Author: byuu

========
General:
========
bsnes is a Super Nintendo / Super Famicom emulator that began on
October 14th, 2004.

The latest version can be downloaded from:
http://byuu.org/

Please see license.txt for important licensing information.

==============
Configuration:
==============
bsnes has two configuration files: bsnes.cfg, for program settings; and
locale.cfg, for localization.

For each file, bsnes will start by looking inside the same folder where the
bsnes executable is located. If said file is not found, it will then check your
user profile folder. On Windows, this is located at "%APPDATA%/.bsnes". On all
other operating systems, this is located at "~/.bsnes". If said file is still
not found, it will automatically be created in your user profile folder.

If you wish to use bsnes in single-user mode, be sure that both files exist
inside the same folder as the bsnes executable. If they do not, you can simply
create new blank files and bsnes will use them in the future.

If you wish to use bsnes in multi-user mode, simply delete these two files from
the bsnes executable directory if they exist.

If you wish to have multiple configuration profiles for the same user, you will
need to make copies of the bsnes executable, and use each one in single-user
mode.

==================
Known Limitations:
==================
S-CPU
- Multiply / divide register delays not implemented

S-PPU
- Uses scanline-based renderer. This is very inaccurate, but few (if any)
  games rely on mid-scanline writes to function correctly
- Does not support FirstSprite+Y priority
- OAM / CGRAM accesses during active display not supported correctly
- RTO flags are not calculated on frames that are skipped when frameskipping
  is enabled. This provides a major speedup, however it will cause in issues
  in games that test these flags, eg the SNES Test Program Electronics Test.
  Turning frameskipping off will allow RTO flag calculation on every frame

Hardware Bugs
- S-CPU.r1 HDMA crashing bug not emulated
- S-CPU<>S-SMP communication bus conflicts not emulated
