SNEmulDS 0.4 Alpha Released
SNES emulator for DS
After a long break between releases SNEmulDS author archeide has updated his emulator to v0.4 Alpha. This version integrates the CPU engine of SnezziDS along with a host of new updates which give the emulator a big jump in speed.
archeide said:It has been a long time with no real updates of SNEmulDS.. This first release break this silence, and i hope it will please everyone. First of all, the main change is the integration of the CPU engine of SnezziDS. In fact, I wanted to make my own CPU engine in ASM, but i rapidly saw that i couldn’t do better than bubble2k did. I recognize his work as a masterpiece in DS homebrews. I personnally added some new features from the original C CPU of SNEmulDS: speed hacks, memory protection, and ROM paging/dynamic reloading (giving Large ROMs support for Slot-1 cards). All combined CPU engine and speed hacks give a great boost in speed.
changelog  * Implemented MODE 7
  * Partial line by line engine for MODE 7 games
  * Implemented MODE 3,4 (256 colors)
  * Now SNEmulDS uses devkitpro 20 and libfat library from chishm with DLDI support, for better compatibility
  * Improved ROM paging, reducing bugs for Large ROMs (> 3 Mo)
  * Fixed memory leaks (And consequently, fixed famous “Unsupported Large LoRom” bug)
  * Three level of speed hacks : no speed hacks, medium speed hacks, full speed hacks. Each level give various compatibility and speed enhancements.
  * Fixed various bugs
  * Now SNEmulDS sources are under GNU license, to be compatible with snezzids
