[Bladeoner]

I just want to thank everybody for their support and feedback, stay safe and healthy and enjoy New Year's Eve!

Keep looking out for each other!

Hi all, version 4.4.9 has been release, I've uploaded it on the first page, no additional changes.

 

[Bladeoner]

New version uploaded, with the following changes:
add .bs to list of files to display
change max game image dimensions to 640x480 to support screenshots

Does this emulator still not save through "in-game" save mechanics? (SRAM I believe). That was a huge letdown after 3 hours of final fantasy II

 

[Bladeoner]

@NightDweller I'm not sure if it doesn't work, try it out and if it doesn't work open an issue here: https://github.com/dborth/snes9xgx/issues

I've uploaded a new version 4.5.1 which contains some GameCube specific fixes.

Can't believe it's been 7 years since the beginning of that hack. We've come a long way.

Hi Bladeoner, since Tantric changed the dimension for the screenshots they no longer appear in the UI.
So I changed to 640x512, and it works (in 4:3 and even in 16:9)

Otherwise the cross of the game_delete icon is not very nice, so I corrected it (for Snes9x GX and FCE Ultra GX)

I'll try changing it to see if it works with a generic PSX adapter, i'll let you know how it goes.

I actually never played the original game myself, only for few minutes.

Updated the icon, thanks for that.

not sure I understand about the 512. Are you saying you recompiled the code and increased it from 640x480 to 640x512?

Where did you get 512 from? From what I could tell the largest screenshot you can make in the code was 640x480

 

[Bladeoner]

Uploaded the latest version with the change of Tantric.

 

[Tanooki16]

Hello Tantric, for the 512 it is because it was the setting before modification.

In fact since the modification of the commit 3cf1285, I saw that the screenshots did not work anymore.

And so I put back as it was with the exception of 640 (which corrects screenshots in 16: 9 video mode).

In short with 640x512 everything works well, even if it is true that it is quite strange because with this setting the screenshots are in 480p ^^

 

[Tantric]

That's interesting, because I've looked through the code twice now and I just don't see anything in there that would output a screenshot with a height of 512. I must be missing something. Is this original mode? hq2x? PAL or NTSC?

 

[Tanooki16]

Tested and yes it works with all video modes

otherwise there is a small problem with the commit 09149db:

At menu.cpp line 870, replace the 70 value by 100:

Also here are two fixed icons (for all GX emulators): for the network icon, one end was missing at the bottom left, and for arrowdown_over the arrow was not well centered ^^

And I updated the French translation for all GX

 

[Bladeoner]

Just uploaded the latest version with the changes discussed by @Tanooki16 and @Tantric thanks both.

 

[Bladeoner]

Uploaded a new version with a minor change to the Credits.
