That's a pretty cool feathery effect, gllt, how'd you do that?

More fun with filters, maybe a bit slicker than the last one.

I'm about to sound way too serious for this thread now.... Lincoln is indeed iconified as being something greater than he was. He may have abolished slavery (in perhaps the least efficient way), but he was no champion of equity as he did not favor a desegregated society or giving blacks voting right...

How creative and self-deprecating. One of the snails is quite phallic as well.

I see where you're coming from, but I like having it separate. Like how we have mute and audio volume separate. Sure we can merge these things, but they're functions intended for different purposes: That's why I suggested giving each speed its own hotkey, and notice where 0 is relative to 12345, an...

Best slogan I could think of besides "Squashing bugs for beer."

Nitpick alert: some NP games were NP exclusive (EEPROM) and did not have ROM counterparts. Off the top of my head: Picross series, one of the Ogre Battle versions, one of the Fire Emblem versions. Maybe you weren't aware of this, but that's why I listed both sources under the SFC filetype.

I think what Haneda means is that it's pointless to SHOW a larger version than what's needed here. And unless this thing has other uses, a single version made at around 250x125 isn't all that dumb.

Really? I'm betting that bsnes probably stands for "Byuu SNES" or "Byuu's SNES". Add "emulator" and it probably means "Byuu's SNES emulator". bsnes could stand for anything, that part doesn't matter. What matters is it's the referring to the program, so it co...

Hmm, bsnes = snes emulator. Saying bsnes emulator is like saying Bob eater instead of Bob the eater or eater Bob.

I agree the ladder is annoying. If I had support for modifier keys, that'd be awesome to do Shift+1-5. Since I don't, I didn't want to tie up five keys for that. Especially the ones most emulators use to toggle BG layers (a hangover from the days when SNES layer priorities weren't well understood.)...

Would it be appropriate to equate a suspension of emulation with "0%" emulation speed? If so, it would be nice to have this activity state reflected and selectable in the menu. It might also be better to have hotkeys for each speed selection rather than the up/down ladder. I'd personally s...

Yes, savestates are better than tediously saving and typing in a password. Also, I don't know how long a game is going to be. If I have to go somewhere before I finish, taking a savestate is better than leaving my computer on all night. Or maybe I just can't pass a certain stage and it's pissing me ...

You could try using a notification box when a driver setting is changed. I'd suggest putting it in documentation, but it wouldn't fit in your categories. I could finish a lot of games to the end only with savestates, not with cheats. There are situations, where cheats don't help. Savestates can make...

If he wants to post it here, I don't mind. Kind of curious how he managed to state machine all ~150kb of relevant code -- it's incredibly monotonous making those things. But I really don't want to see it end up on every emulator site ala Snes9X forks if at all possible. If he posts it here, it will...

Not bad. Looks like without the second core, it's about 20% slower on average. Pretty even with it.

I'm sure you were joking, but they were actually gonna call it the Ultra 64, which is not that great but better than just "nintendo" 64. In fact the 64 was lame too, I'd have taken Ultra Famicom any day. Yes, I was being facetious. But the amazing thing about all of it is that the existin...

That's pretty much an exact replica now. Very nice. I'm in agreement with byuu in that the US controller sucks ass. I like to pretend the Euro controller is the official SNES one ;) :'( He's right, you know. The American SNES was just a god-awful design, probably gave away at least a million sales t...

I think the point is, whether or not many games used it, it's something that the SNES could do, and something that all emulators fail to do now. A behavior of the core system that has not been emulated yet. what game in particular are you dying to play on bsnes that you can't already play on anothe...

You can't check each game from beginning to the end. The premise behind testing every game five minutes was rooted in the observation that most games show you their entire hand of cards in first five minutes. In most cases, game progression brings more changes in scenery than in behavior. There are...

I'm not suggesting never address it, I'm suggesting to address it after larger, known software malfunctions.

Hey Panzer, I'll give you 1 million invisible dollars for 100 visible ones. Deal?

An improvement to the base is an improvement to all games, even if you can't perceive the difference. An improvement to the SuperFX is an improvement to ten games. Those focused on a hardware emulator are more interested in the former, those focused on a game cartridge emulator moreso the latter. H...

A dot-based PPU will have no known tangible benefit on the gaming experience. The GUI does, the special chips do, peripherals do, the the BS-X does, the Super Gameboy does. I wouldn't understand if it got a higher priority than any of these and I'll state why. Byuu's rationalization is that external...

I agree. Actually, it also reminded of me of those costumes the tron guys wore.
