People use it for the lack of bloat Yet most people seem to like bloat.... :? Guess it gives them a excuse to validate thier purchase of "high end" hardware. But seriously, nothing is wrong with minimalism when it comes to GUI design. Personally i believe in the (relatively unrealistic) a...

I understand that getting a high-performance, attractive GUI under Linux is difficult, but byuu, sinamas, BearOso and AamirM have all been attacking that particular problem for a while now... Sadly, GNOME/Xfce users are going to see a major hit in UI aesthetic with the Qt rewrite. Even QGtkStyle lo...

How's this for a third possibility: when the close-box is clicked, open a "Do you really want to quit" dialog unless SRAM has been written to in the past 10 seconds, or a save-state has been saved within the past ten seconds. I imagine most people intentionally quitting an emulator will w...

I am glad that CRT simulation i being discussed again. The examples posted miss some very important things, specifically kell-effect. This image was made by blargg some time ago. It simulates all the important parts of CRT. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ylyxHOid874/SL11c0TF6eI/AAAAAAAAAA4/jGDt0s0EpkE/s1...

For some reason(i have no idea why) the first games decided to ignore interlaced and used a progressive hack. (instead of rendering to alternate scanlines render to the same scanline twice as fast) The result was black empty scanlines between each colored scanline. Due to all kinds of CRT wierdness ...

That's what you get when you don't vary the color carrier phase each scanline, as the NES/SNES do. Even the Sega Genesis makes vertical lines look like this on composite out. Wild :/ I never noticed color bleeding that badly on the Genesis as a kid. Then again I didn't even notice static width font...

Bsnes would have to be capable of moving the sync line into the black part of the screen ofcourse for it to be fully usable Are you saying you have trouble with this in bsnes when using the highest scale setting your monitor can do? Because it could (at least for certain drivers) call Present as so...

1) avoid video tearing at the top and bottom by giving more vsync time. Is this actually a problem? The only time I ran into this on Windows using Direct3D was when I tried to make a Present() call -after- the first possible instance of GetRasterStatus saying VBlank had started. (and you shouldn't ...

Just played Chrono Trigger on the DS. Audio is VERY different, and they didn't bother to fix the aspect ratio. Looks like Square/Nintendo do not really care about having it look and sound like it did on the snes. They did however make a great port, using the touchscreen for all menu/battle stuff is ...

I agree that bsnes should only have one view, enable advance should be enabled by default and the option removed. There will be more options like this in the future. Are you sure you want them all exposed to everyone? Someone screwing with CPU frequencies could break games. Just add a revert everyt...

There is a point where usability meets accuracy. Yes, it should be possible to force stupid combinations, but the defaults should be sane. Autodetecting the system from the rom header has as much legs as autodetecting the board from the rom header. They should both be wiped out. If I made a homebre...

System tray control is probably something the GUI library needs anyway, but its value is completely lost for Windows 7 -- the taskbar works similar to the system tray + quick launch. In fact, by default tray items are hidden and require you to go through a menu to get to them. Interesting, so the t...

We spent a lot of time on carefully removing all the different load options.

Now that a bug is uncovered in the system i suggest fixing that bug instead of reverting to the old method

That project64 screenshot looks almost perfect as far as a cheat screen goes. Ugh, I hope you're kidding. bsnes' table view is far better than that disjointed mess. It doesn't even look like it gives sufficient room for names, and descriptions aren't viewable until you click on the specific listing...

So you'd like it if I arbitrarily cut off ~14.5% of bsnes' contrast ratio for no apparent reason? Seriously? :P Anyway, I was thinking about modifying libfilter to allow external color tables to handle sepia+grayscale+invert+whatever the hell else people want anyway, to get that code out of the lib...

If i understand you correctly blargg. Bsnes does not have to care about the luminance because it basically emulates a snes with a RGB out(which by definition provides a 0-255 luminance image) The way i understand luminance is that it is the hard limit between whitest white and blackest black(althoug...

Is bsnes aware of the fact that the original snes outputs an image with a luminance of 16..235 and a pc monitor uses 0..255?
If so how does it handle this?

If i also enable ...
