Thanks, FitzRoy. The controller graphic looks really amazing. I have
two very minor changes to request if you don't mind.

 First, I had to increase the size to 372x178 (Windows BMP format adds
alignment if width is not a multiple of 4 -- this makes it a real
bitch to convert the image to my UI wrapper pixel format), and shift
the actual image one pixel left to center the gradient fade.

 Second, and more importantly, could you store the controller graphic
in 32-bit format with alpha? Rather than using a white or gray
background, if I could get the full alpha channel information, then I
can adjust the background color to anything I like in the future.
Depending on how it looks, maybe I can just let the controller blend
against the window background itself.

 And thank you, King of Chaos, as well. It was extremely difficult to
choose one over the other. I wish I could use just both so as not to
offend anyone. But I kind of like FItzRoy's more. I was kind of going
for that pristine, "cleaner than real life" look. Still, I really
appreciate your help in making a controller graphic.

             ---

             New WIP.

 I've added FitzRoy's controller graphic to the input capture window.
It will only display when configuring joypad buttons, not when
configuring UI buttons.

 I've also added the new UI settings panel. This lets you control
window translucency for all but the main bsnes window. I capped
opacity to 50% minimum, because I don't want to hear bug reports when
people slide it to 0% and can't find the config window anymore :P
 Works on Windows and Linux. If you lack a compositor on Linux, it'll
just stay a solid color. If you have Compiz / Beryl and the blur
filter, use it with gaussian alpha blur. Then you can set opacity all
the way down to 50% and it will still look amazing. I want to post a
screenshot of it, but the image is ~3MB. Maybe later I'll post it to
one of those file hosting sites.

 There's also a setting here to control what gets written to the
statusbar. I went back to just displaying the raw ROM title. So you
can use %t for that, %n for the filename, and %f for the frame rate.
Still working on this feature. Plan to keep the game name visible when
pausing, add some additional info that can be output here, etc. It may
be better to keep this setting in the advanced panel, as it's not the
most user friendly thing in the world. Up to you guys, I guess.

             Need more settings here, though. Need to fill out that
window more.

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

The latest version can be downloaded from:

Please see license.txt for important licensing information.

------------------
Known Limitations:
------------------
S-CPU
- Invalid DMA / HDMA transfers not fully emulated
- 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
