We will be using zlib so it will be easy to decompress. PSR is short for parser. You can open up ZGUIDATW.DAT if you want to see what the format looks like uncompressed.

Any possibility of getting a better host? Seems like there are a few out there that would give you free hosting or something...

Like ROMhacking.net? Except that server's down too....
It should only be temporary... Geocities blocks requests for one hour, dunno if that's true. RomHacking.net is already back. :)

I've been sticking with Geocities because it's a huge site that has been around for a few years, and doesn't seem to remove inactive pages. I have no experience with other hosters. :?

Alright, I'll check it out.

Tukuyomi:
Sorry, no links to ROM sites allowed.

pagefault: Some questions. :)
- will you be using the current set of variable names?
- VRAM and the other arrays are stored as strings, too?
- will SRAM be included as well?
- what'll be the name of the Preview variable?

Beta version with partial support for SNESGT savestates. Only arrays are loaded (CGRAM, OAM, SRAM, VRAM, WRAM), no saving.
SV? files seem to contain an entire SPC file... :shock:

EDIT: ... which now gets loaded in this beta.

bugfix

You only need this file if you want to see the text in the right part of the HexEditor correctly.


EDIT: Fixed the bugfix. Image

Silly question that's been nagging me for a while: Why are the files on your site given double extensions, like *.rar.zip ?

Geocities doesn't allow uploading of files with the extension ".RAR", so I'm just adding ".ZIP".
Someone might assume that the archive is broken when WinZip reports an error.

Of course other hosts don't need to follow that naming style, but it's always a bit of work to rename the files and adjust the links.

Why not just compress it in ZIP and be done with it ?

It saves 642 KB. :o

Yeah, it's not that much - I think I'll use the ZIP extension only for Geocities then.

Meh, just giving a suggesstion, that way no one will complain the file is corrupted, and they need to change the extenstion to only RAR.

Just a note - if the controls in v2.8 look too small or too large, it's because I used the wrong info for scaling them (and didn't test it enough). I'll upload a new build tomorrow that fixes that issue.

I agree, the .rar.zip thing is annoying. I also don't think it's really spelled out for people who don't pick up on that immediately. I'd probably rather download an extra 600K then deal with that. :P

Ok, not really. I lied. 600K is alot, but it's still annoying.

Beta09: various smaller bugfixes, eg. IPS patches that expand the ROM should work now.
Screen rendering also outputs 5 bits per color channel, not 8 as before - caused slight differences to emulators when color math is used.
