Personally, i try to avoid using the Wii pointer whenever possible and always use horizontal navigation because it just feels more natural to me.

When backing out, i feel using the Wiimote 1 or Classic B button is the obvious (Quick Go Back) solution for that other than the normal scrolling to Go Back and pressing the Wiimote 2 or Classic A button.

I am totally fine with whatever you decide since after using for a short while picking up the navigation will most likely become second nature.

I'm also very used to this by now, but I'm open to the changes.
And yeah, the Go Back button will never see a press bt myself anymore if that's the case.
If I can point something, what about the Home button? Can't it be changed to always cycle between the Menu/Game at any time? Or is this nonsense?
Again, Thank you guys for your time and work
In all the GX emulators, the Home button press to return to the game is simply a trigger tied to the Close button, if there's one present on screen. So, that button press only works when the menu you're on has a Close button.

Adding more Close buttons is definitely possible, and was something I was considering during implementing these latest UI changes. If Home button press anywhere was the goal however, I'd probably want to try to divorce the functionality from the Close button so as to reduce UI bloat. The Close buttons have the side effect of always being the default UI button selected (see the "Game Settings" menu), requiring extra inputs to navigate into submenus, down and away from the Close button every time.

This was hard to adapt for me in the beginning.

The button could stay only as a image in the UI, with the symbol of the Home Button and "Close" write to it, so it would not be a real button but it could stay where we are used to it ?

Tested!

I liked the speedy navigation. But i'm kinda torn on this one. The reason is because of the custom.

When I enter sub-menus (except Button Mappings), I am used to quickly press B to put the focus on the "Go Back" button and immediately press 'A' button, once if I want to change something else inside "Game Settings", or twice to just go back to the game. Now I find myself suddenly going back to the previous menu. :lol:

In a sense, it mimics most video game inventory page or RPG menus, though that behavior is mostly reserved for when you are inside the gameplay area. I guess this could lead to the symbolic death of the "Go Back" GUI button, as you can't press it now unless you are pointing it with the Wiimote cursor.

Now, I got curious and made a quick research by revisiting "Options" menus inside a bunch of SNES games, just to check what's the most common way to exit out of the principal settings. Whether or not an Exit button is offered among the selection, they use 'Start' to get back to the "Main Menu", as 'A / B' can change or toggle some of the options offered: Street Fighter II, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat I - II - 3 - Ultimate, Samurai Shodown, Earthworm Jim 1 - 2, Power Rangers Zeo, Jurassic Park II, Clay Fighter 1 - 2, NBA Jam T.E., Castlevania - Dracula X, Captain Commando, Tuff E Nuff, Toy Story, Beavis & Butt-head, Batman Returns, TMNT IV Turtles in Time, TMNT Tournament Fighters, Jim Power.

The only one I could randomly find (so far) that uses 'B' to go back to the "Main Menu": Primal Rage.

Paging @Muliro @johw @Maeson @RunningSnakes @Tanooki16 @A29 @SaulFabre @hug0-a7x . What do you guys think/feel about this navigation tweak? Taking into account the explanation above, feel free to express all your thoughts about it as users.


Unrelated to the change above, just found another bug (RX/TX/GX) while checking all the menus: the "Delete" option inside "Game Settings" does not show any SRAM which isn't numbered or has Auto in the filename.
@niuus

I get used to use the Wii Remote for point and click in the buttons on Snes9x RX and other emus, but since it's a huge improvement in the UI (including the "easter egg" on the Snes9x RX logo that i can access the credits), i could accept this change for upcoming 5.1.0.

About the games with known issues, here:
Changelog:
[4.8.0 - March 10, 2020]
* Language updates for Spanish, French, Portuguese.
* .bs file extension support.
* Classify region id 18 as PAL. [Tantric]
* Set default calibration values, fix controllers that return invalid data.
* Quick fixes for Rendering Ranger R2 and Targa (50/60Hz).

Experimental support for Mad Catz SE FightStick for Xbox 360! Tested and working, separate binary available.
Experimental support for Logitech F510 Controller (Xinput mode). Untested, separate binary available.

[4.7.0 - February 02, 2020]
* Kirby Super Star GCN performance fix.
30+ FPS boost for this game, should make it enjoyable again on the Cube.

* Add Show Local Time option. [bladeoner/Tantric]
* Optimize USB controllers handling. [revvv]
Only open device if VID+PID match.

* ios version up [revvv]
* GCN build fixes (thanks emukidid!)
* Revamped README.

* Create missing folders.
In case one or more of the "\snes9xgx" folders are absent, they will be
created on the second run of the emulator, after a settingsRX.xml has been
generated by pressing Exit on first run.

* Experimental DualShock 3 (wired) support.
Based on libsickaxis 1.0 by Xerpi. As of now, it controls the 2-4 players
at the same time. Could and should be upgraded in the future to polish up
this implementation, any help on this task will be welcome.

[4.6.0 - December 24, 2019]
* Minor cosmetic tweaks.
* Retrode 2 code cleanup.
* Xbox 360 Controller code cleanup.
* LED fix for different X360 Controller revision.
* Fix GCN build.

Now available in various skins/colors, choose the one you like the most:
* Cosmo Black (Default)
* SNS Mini Edition (USA)
* SNS Mini Edition (EUR)
* Midnight Purple
* Aqua Blue

[4.5.0 - November 22, 2019]
* Xbox 360 wired controller support! (thanks revvv!)
Before loading Snes9x RX, connect your Xbox 360 wired controller. When
you're at the main screen (Choose a game), click on the emulator logo at the
corner of the screen and read the status info at the bottom, just to make
sure it was properly detected. In some cases you won't need to do this,
it will just work. Remember, the controller only works when in-game.
You can swap your player/port number by simply pressing on the
Xbox Guide button. Enjoy!
Right stick is configured as YXBA (essentially duplicating your buttons),
specially useful for Smash TV fans like me =D
* Xbox 360 wired controller code improvements. [revvv]

[4.4.0 - November 07, 2019]
* Fixed Funaki Masakatsu Hybrid Wrestler – Tougi Denshou graphical glitch.
* Retrode 2 support tweaks.

[4.3.0 - August 14, 2019]
* Fixed "PowerFest 94 - Super Mario Kart" black screen.
* Fixed Kat's Run - Zen-Nihon K-Car Senshuken graphic bg corruption during
demo. Phalanx random black screen is fixed too.
* Fixed Clayfighter blue clown face when selecting a player.
* Fixed Stunt Race FX graphical glitch on the course selection screen.
* Fixed Light Fantasy SRAM saving issues.
* Fix out-of-bounds memory access. [bearoso]
* Working buttons for all SNES peripherals.
Mouse, SuperScope and the Konami's Justifier trigger/buttons never worked in
any other controllers except the GCN pad and Wiimote. Now you can use the
Wii Classic Controller, Wii U Pro Controller and Wii U Gamepad to
fully emulate the peripherals.

Now with experimental wired-DualShock 3 support (thanks to libsickaxis by xerpi!): connect your DS3 to your Wii's USB port prior to opening the emulator. When in the Snes9x RX's "Choose Game" screen, press Minus and Plus on your Wiimote/Wii U Pro Controller (DS3 led # 1 should lit) after that press the PS button. You should now be able to use it when in-game. Led might turn off but it's okey. Use the special labeled build.

KNOWN BUGS FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL DUALSHOCK 3 VERSION:

  • May crash sometimes when changing games, or when syncing the DS3 if you're in-game, your mileage may vary.
  • DS3 input mirrors to all controllers at the same time.
  • No menues navigation yet.

[4.2.0 - August 07, 2019]
* Avoid USB call if there's no Retrode. [revvv]
* Fix M.A.C.S. Basic Rifle Marksmanship. [ghost - OV2]
The flickering was because game thinks joypad2 is constantly firing on/off.
* Cleanup time.
* Spanish language translation update.
* JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken and Kick Off graphical glitches fixed. [bearoso]
* Fixed Speedy Gonzales - Los Gatos Bandidos game freeze. [bearoso]
* Fixed Doom graphical garbage. [twinaphex]

[4.1.0 - August 01, 2019]
* Backport+adjust the refactored APU Resampler. [bladeoner]
* Adjust default input rate.
* Retrode 2 USB adapter support (thank revvv!)
The Retrode 2 cartridge reader offers USB mass storage access for your SNES
cartridges, besides 4 ports for original controllers, more specifically:
two SuperNES and two Genesis gamepads. 2-4 players are supported!
Some notes from revvv:
"- If the Retrode does not react, you just have to restart Snes9x GX.
I never had to restart HBC or the Wii. This happens with my fork, too.
But not very often.
- Doom is a good testcase: My first build had a huge lag, but only with
this game. After polling the Retrode only for player 1, the lag disappeared.
(Doom is a single player game, so it's strange that they poll player 2.)"


[4.0.0 - July 28, 2019]
* Add Wii U GamePad support. [Fix94 - Tantric]
* Allow "Original" render mode to be selectable when using the Wii Options
TV Resolution setting for "EDTV or HDTV (480p)" over component cables:
- This caters specifically to LCD / LED users with 240p supported displays,
since the option was previously hidden. Users with CRT / PVM / BVM displays
with supported 480p Progressive Scan mode will also benefit, since no Wii
setting change will be needed for the "Original" 240p mode to be used.
* Restore MSU1 playback position correctly. [bearoso]

Games with known issues:

* Madden NFL 96 (U) [Affected on GX/RX]
Not working.
* Marko's Magic Football (E)
Hangs Wii at black screen after the Akklaim logo.
* Lobo (U) [Prototype] [Affected on GX/RX]
Not working.
* Robocop vs. Terminator (U)
Black strobe effect on gameplay.

The rom Lobo (USA) (Proto) when it doesn't load on Snes9x GX/RX/TX oddly it loads on the snes9x_libretro core on RetroArch Wii (i've tested on RA-HEXAeco Snes9x 1.60 core and RA Wii 1.10.3 Snes9x 1.60).

I was thinking if from libretro you could backport the code that ignores the header of the "bad dumps" or "prototype" games to Snes9x RX or even GX/TX? :P
(Sorry since i'm still beginner on coding i can't help with that)

Cool discussion and points of view, people.

BTW, anyone knows the UI navigation behavior on the Genesis Classic / SNES Classic, for comparison?

The rom Lobo (USA) (Proto) when it doesn't load on Snes9x GX/RX/TX oddly it loads on the snes9x_libretro core on RetroArch Wii (i've tested on RA-HEXAeco Snes9x 1.60 core and RA Wii 1.10.3 Snes9x 1.60).

(Sorry since i'm still beginner on coding i can't help with that)
"Hexaeco" builds are not a different emulator, it's just a tweaked Retroarch Wii, so the comparison between those is not necessary. So, if you want to fix Lobo (very mediocre fighter, sadly), the first thing you have to do is find the specific commit that broke it in GX/TX, then compile a build without it to confirm. The game already worked in GX at some point as I personally tested it years ago, can't say at which point it stopped working, never played it more than once. I'd rather play Shaq-Fu than that, lol.

Snes9xGX just released a new version for the first time in over a year! Many of the changes were brought over from RX.

https://github.com/dborth/snes9xgx/releases/tag/4.5.3

Has there been any consensus on those UI changes I put up a pull request for a few weeks ago? I can make adjustments to them based on feedback.

Well, not just Snes9x GX updated to 4.5.3 :)
https://github.com/dborth/snes9xgx/releases/tag/4.5.3

Also FCE Ultra GX and Visual Boy Advance GX got updated.
https://github.com/dborth/fceugx/releases/tag/3.5.2
https://github.com/dborth/vbagx/releases/tag/2.4.6

Thanks @Tantric! :)

Hi @InfiniteBlue! Haven't been able to participate much with this discussion, as the neighbor that lent me internet access can't do it anymore, so I check every once in a while with mobile data, which is a bit expensive and drains ultra fast here. I couldn't even drop 5.1.0 the same day I uploaded my last commit, which is ready to drop. I'll try to resolve the upload with a friend later. While offline, i've been working mostly in the "Ultimate" Satellaview compatibility list that I talked about before, preparing the future NeoCD RX releases, toying a bit with WiiSX RX and other emulators that I got curious about like Wii2600, and RL work stuff. Hope to get back soon with the same regularity as before.

Happy gaming.

Hi niuus, if you are interested I enclose a file to integrate two new video options.

The first one is to disable the high resolution of the games that use this mode to make them compatible with the video filters.

The second one is to disable the sprite limit.

We gotta try the "disable sprite limit" setting with game that were plagued with missing sprites. I think Magic Sword did that a lot?

Ah! Such a great addition to have that useful setting back! Thanks @Tanooki16!

If you want a quick recommendation that popped into my mind to try with this sprite flicker setting, check Final Fight 2 Readjusted, with its 5 enemies on screen at once that CAPCOM was holding out.

This looks like a cool hack, I must check it out with the sprite limit option for the next release! Thanks for sharing 😀

Couldn't sleep without testing the new Sprite Limit Off setting, lol.

It works wonders, the hack really shines with it. I'm curious to see people's tests with games that benefit from this.
