"add option to enable/disable database for roms handling (db.xml), application restart required (disable by default)"

that's mean we can use our own roms ?

Someone test it with sx os? :(

Great work @cpasjuste, I tried with hekate and its perfect :D
Some people reported that they are having issues using pSNES with SX OS. But you can launch hekate with SX OS and use pSNES then.
PSNES keeps freezing on me every time I load a game using SX OS 1.1 (unlicensed) on latest firmware. Am I doing something wrong?

I just tired the Version 1.3 with SXOS v. 1.1 - still freezed upon loading a rom file. Is there anything I can do that would help making this work? Like dumping a crash log?

Will try the Hekate in a few here.

Great work, 1.3 is really good! :)

I hate to nitpick but in this version I cannot map buttons like L to ZL. I know it worked in the first version. Also would it be possible to filter the game list in non-db mode to only show roms? I think to file endings are .sfc and .fig.

Thanks again for your efforts, much appreciated! I'm playing Super Metroid on my Switch :bow:

Loving the program, seems like the latest release is pretty much stable. This is the first time I've really played games with filters, and damn does EPX look great.

A few issues / suggestions:

- I'm sharing a rom folder with the libretro core, would be cool if pSNES could filter out sram and state files.
- R and L work best as RZ and RL, would love to be able to assign menu buttons to L and R.
- Are the filters / improvements going to hit the pFBA app also? :D

I haven't downloaded the latest pSNES version yet, but i wasn't able to get any rom working (.sfc or .smc). Is there any roms pack that i just can copy in the roms folder and get going, now that the db requirement is gone? (First time going snes homebrew so i dont have any roms collection)

I don't support the mainline snes9x core yet, so that's a valid reason to use this build.

@cpasjuste Keep it up
M4xw, your port runs better though, people just like fancy uis over functionality for some wierd reason. I respect the progress of this but I'll stick with you and your almost flawless snes port :)

Just for curiously I wonder what do you mean by it run better ? (pSNES does run all ROMs fullspeed if I'm not mistaken).

From my testing, I crashed while docked and in hand held, and not just soft crashes, full on crashing where I have to use jig. I haven't tested 1.3 so maybe you have fixed a lot of the crashing, also not sure if you are using video threading but the retroarch port just seems smoother. I'm not biased on any emu, just go by what works the best and I'm not hung up in uis either like most are

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
