BSNES is the most accurate SNES emulator.

bsnes v083 released

 

This release adds preliminary Nintendo / Famicom emulation. It's only a week or two old, so a lot of work still needs to be done before it can compete with the most popular NES emulators.

 

It's important to clarify: bsnes is primarily an SNES emulator. That will always be its forte and my core focus. I have added Game Boy support previously for Super Game Boy emulation, and I've added NES support mostly for something fun to work on to break up the monotony of working on one system for seven years now. Obviously, I'd like the emulation to be accurate and highly compatible, but I simply cannot afford to invest the same amount of time and money into any other systems.

 

Still, either way the NES and GB emulation serve as fun side-diversions, and allow for a unified emulator interface with all of bsnes' unique features applied to all systems. My personal favorite feature is mightymo's extended built-in cheat code database that now also includes NES and Game Boy codes. And it even works in Super Game Boy mode now, too!

 

I'm also not worried about speed at all: so long as NES/GB are faster than SNES/compatibility, it's fine by me. Note that due to the NES audio running at 1.78MHz, and Game Boy audio at 4MHz stereo, a more sophisticated audio resampler was needed: Ryphecha (Mednafen author) has graciously written a first-rate resampler: it is a band-limited Kaiser-windowed polyphase sinc resampler. It is combined with two highpass filters to remove DC bias. The filter itself is SSE optimized, but even still, approximately 50% of CPU usage for NES/GB emulation goes to the audio filtering alone. However, you now have the best sound possible for NES and Game Boy emulation as a result.

 

The GUI has also been heavily re-structured to accommodate multiple emulators from the same interface. As such, it's quite likely a few bugs are still lurking here and there. Please report them and I'll iron them out for the next release.

Virtual Jaguar v2.0.0 GCC/Qt

----------------------------

 

* Switched GUI to Qt. And there was much rejoicing. [shamus]

* Added detection code to fish out files from inside ZIP archives. What this means is that now you can have other goodies inside of your ROM ZIP like labels, box art, and overlays. See built-in help for details. [shamus]

* Various usability improvements, too many to list here. [shamus]

* Various compatibility improvements to the Jaguar core, too many to list here. [shamus]

System Driver Changes:

----------------------

- atarist: Palette registers then to show the unused bits as 1, causing line-f exceptions when you run on them [O. Galibert]

- atarist: Add some bus errors in appropriate places (there are still a bunch of them missing though) [O. Galibert]

Source Changes:

----------------

- wd1772: Add read track support and some misc fixes [O. Galibert]

- Fix for cursor handling in dl1416 [Lord Nightmare]

- wd1772: Add read ids support [O. Galibert]

- Store the character codes and cursor states in ram and use the lookup rom to decode on display (as the real chip does according to the datasheet) rather than storing the segment contents in ram. This makes the DL1416 device act more like the real chip, where on power-up you see random but recognizable characters, rather than random gibberish. Note there's a lot of code duplication to check cursor state and invalid/blank crap which can probably either go behind a define or be its own function, or into the display wrapper function itself. [Lord Nightmare]

- To see mouse pointer in games with clickable artwork use -nohc option from command line (windows only) [Robbbert,hap]

- ipf_dsk: Reverse engineering, it's what we do [O. Galibert]
