    Just for the info guys, the performance downgrade happened in this commit,
    https://github.com/dborth/snes9x-gx/commit/f65c3d01c3a94d02781dbdaad8c7f1bf15cd6f61
    It has to do with the "use timers for sync only" change.

    I added the old vsync method back to the latest source and it fixed the audio popping.
    However, Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger still freeze in battles. Does anyone know the reason for this? I know these games worked at one point in time.

    Great find! I'm pretty sure the last piece of the puzzle and your question is connected to devkit PPC regressions reported years ago. If you can, try this tips, as they were discovered by emu_kidid himself.

    * Compiled with LTO flag
    * Compiled with powerpc-eabi-gcc (devkitPPC release 26) 4.6.3

    I can personally confirm you that Chrono Trigger & Final Fantasy III fights work in his build, and he built it straight from the the 4.3.2 source.

    Turns out, down grading to PPC r26 did the trick!
    Here's my compiled dol and source code.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/i2c1ofx411hrfcd/snes9x-gx.zip?dl=1
    The above is the latest source branch at GitHub with the old vsync method re-instituted (compiled with all the latest libraries minus PPC r27).

    No audio popping and no FF6 crashing.
    So grab some hot dogs and RC cola and have yourself a grand-all Super Nintendo time!

    Holy guacamole, dude!! I compared the speed regained and definitely is up to 4.2.9 speed! I am glad i suggested the above findings! Thanks for your vanilla build and also adding the source to the download, makes it much easier for archival purposes.

    BTW, could i suggest bumping this unofficial version to 4.3.3? Also, using the 1st post source (by @Zopenko ) as a base for a new build?

    It doesn't matter to me. I only reverted some of Tantric's code to an earlier state.

    For reference, the files that were modified in the source where,
    source/s9xsupport.cpp
    source/snes9xgx.cpp
    source/video.cpp
    source/video.h
    source/xenon/s9xsupport.cpp

    If Zopenko didn't change the above files, you should be able to just throw those into Zopenko's source and compile with PPC r26 and your good to go.

    Okay, here's Zopenko's version with the FF6 fix and audio fix.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/cg22f0qidvxg589/snes9x-gx(Zopenko).zip?dl=1
    (includes compiled dol and source)
    Turns out, he edited source/snes9xgx.cpp, so I adapted the audio fix over to his file.
    Also, I shut off the auto update feature (not that it would cause issues but I did it none the less).

    The first one I posted, with the hot dogs, is the vanilla github version.
    The new one I just posted is Zopenko's version with WiiUpro controller support, scanline filters, ect (the one in the opening post).

    Thanks for both versions @Burnt Lasagna. I forgot to mention to remove the auto-update feature, but you did it anyways. Fantastic! I hope a GCN build gets made sometime.

    Tested, and working great!

    No, no option. Maybe someone in the future adds this, plus compatibility for games like Classic Kong and Nightmare Busters.

    By the way, what's snes.zip?

    The Dropbox link is not working anymore for me. Could you please repost? It doesn't look like @Zopenko has updated the first post yet.

    Looking forward to trying your version out.

    lol not snes zip but roms compare to zip like the extension .smc or sfc you know that
    some guy's told me that you run roms with that compression type but on the wii huuuuhh... not working only on the windows this version
    snes9x_153_Fusoya that can play rom files with extensions .sfc .smc .zip and read lol over the 8 meg on data snes rom
    maybe isn't it for Zopenko to compile a new one that read and .smc / .sfc /.zip over the 8mb data rom size
    i'm youre man :D

    I had a hard time understanding the post, but for now, only zip and the standard snes rom extensions can be loaded. I don't think someone is gonna code support for roms bigger than 8MB soon, since they are only used for a few hacked games (Super Mario World and Romancing SaGa comes to mind), but hey, maybe someone finds it interesting and it will happen, along with Classic Kong/Nightmare Busters support. Time will tell!

    It's great to help, man :)

    Will you consider adding little things in the future or is this a goodbye build? Thanks anyway for your enthusiasm and contributions, @Zopenko . I mean it!

    P.S: would it be a bother to produce a Gamecube dol? If you can, thx in advance :D
