Homebrew Snes9xGX Mod [Preview + WiiUPro + ScreenShot button]

[Burnt Lasagna]

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.

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!

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.

(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).

This one is the one to go?
Or the one you posted like 4 comments ago?

I'm confused.

 

[Burnt Lasagna]

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!

Hi Sindrik it works great now many thanks but is there an option to use snes.zip file and bigger roms than 4 meg?

 

[Zopenko]

Okay, here's Zopenko's version with the FF6 fix and audio fix.

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.

 

[BITBURGER]

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?

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

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!

The Legend Of Zelda, The legend Returns
and some friends of my Puzzledude ,Conn, Seph and other great Zelda hackers
