New WIP.
Adds a base64 encoder, which zaps the ~21kb icon down to ~5kb. With
the extra space, I used the 48x48 icon instead. It should look a tiny
bit better, but it still obviously can't beat a non-resampled icon.
Also added Linux icon support. That turned out to be a royal pain, as
the gdk-pixbuf library documentation was separate from the GDK
documentation. Tried finding visuals, to make colormaps, to get GCs,
to create pixmaps to blit onto as drawables, to create pixbufs with,
to attach to the window. Turns out, gdk-pixbuf has a function to turn
raw data into a pixbuf.

This blurring is required for pseudo-hires to operate
properly, eg in Jurassic Park.
Nonetheless, if you guys really want the option to disable the
blurring, I can add it. Just keep in mind that we're opening up a can
of worms. People will then want an option to disable the sprite
drawing limit, to add hi-res mode7, etc etc. Harder to draw a line in
the sand when you aren't all or nothing.

I'm not going to put resources external to the executable, unless I
absolutely have to. Thus, I have to put all of these icons inside the
source code, and I have to modify the GUI API wrapper to handle this.

"Hi, uh, Microsoft? Yeah, your compiler is erroring out
when I compile my emulator with it and PGO enabled."
"Sure, as that's a $12,000 Team Suite Edition feature,
if I could just get your serial number, that'd be great."
"Oh, uh ... I think I left that at home. I'll call you
right back with it, okay?"
"Oh, no problem. If I can just get your full name, I'll
pull you up in our system ... ... hello? Sir?"
::dial tone::
And for the _official_ legal record, I only used the
free trial and express editions :)

Not dead, but on severe life support. Same for SNEeSe and Super
Sleuth. anomie, TRAC and Overload have minimal presence anymore. A
damn shame. The SNES scene is in worse shape than most people realize
at the moment. NES emulators have had dot-based PPU renderers for
years now.

bsnes Version: 0.028 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. ------------------ 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 --------------------- Unsupported Hardware: --------------------- SA-1 Coprocessor used in many popular games, including: - Dragon Ball Z Hyper Dimension - Kirby Super Star - Kirby's Dreamland 3 - Marvelous - SD Gundam G-NEXT - Super Mario RPG Super FX Coprocessor used in many popular games, including: - Doom - Star Fox - Star Fox 2 (unreleased beta) - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island SPC7110 Coprocessor used only by the following games: - Far East of Eden Zero - Far East of Eden Zero: Shounen Jump no Shou - Momotarou Densetsu Happy - Super Power League 4 ST-011 SETA DSP used only by Quick-move Shogi Match with Nidan Rank-holder Morita ST-018 SETA RISC CPU used only by Quick-move Shogi Match with Nidan Rank-holder Morita 2 Super Gameboy Cartridge passthrough used for playing Gameboy games ------------------------ Unsupported Controllers: ------------------------ Mouse Super Scope Justifier Multitap (4-port and 5-port)
