bsnes, a multi-platform Super Nintendo emulator has been updated once more. One important thing to note about this release is it will use a new configuration file and as such settings will not carry over from any previous releases. Here is a complete list of changes in this release:

• configuration file is now called bsnes-qt.cfg; the first run of this release will start with a clean state
  
• MSU1 now supports audio looping via new PCM file format
  
• disabled state load/save menu due to a serious bug in Qt 4.6.0 for Windows
  
• RawInput: all keyboards merged to KB0, it should no longer be required to reconfigure the keyboard out-of-the-box
  
• RawInput: fixed a bug where Xbox 360 controller states were being overwritten by DirectInput controllers
  
• RawInput: fixed a device sorting bug caused by moving ruby to Unicode
  
• Direct3D: fixed a pixel shader bug caused by moving ruby to Unicode
  
• Linux port: fixed sudo make install target
  
• Linux port: default to gcc/g++ instead of gcc-4.5/g++-4.5 for one last release
  
• updated to mightymo's 2010-09-20 cheat pack

bsnes, an accuracy focused multi-platform Super NES emulator has been updated today. Here is what's new in this release:

• added new effect toggle tool window, which allows toggling of BG/OAM graphics layers and DSP audio channels
  
• added an option to use the native OS file and folder open dialogs instead of my custom browser
  
• added a new state selection window
  
• added frame skipping support, which is only used during fast forwarding; as a result, fast forward is now ~80% faster
  
• removed unnecessary icons, added workaround for checkbox/radiobox menu icons on Linux/GNOME
  
• added RTS/CTS support to serial simulation
  
• all cores: OAM high table even address writes should update OAM latch data register [blargg]
  
• accuracy core: major improvements to mosaic emulation
  
• accuracy core: added additional hardware-based caching, resulting in a ~15% speed boost
  
• accuracy core: emulated CGRAM address invalidation for writes during active display
  
• performance core: added new S-PPU renderer, resulting in a ~10% speed bost

uBee512 v5.0.0

An emulator for the Microbee Z80 ROM, FDD and HDD based microcomputers.

New for this release:

* The new sound driver is now the default with the older code having been removed altogether. The new code produces excellent sound quality and has less drop outs.

* Added an audio DAC parallel port device argument of 'dac' to the --parallel-port option to select the new 8 bit DAC emulation.

* Added EMUKEY+PAGEDOWN hot key to emulate a Microbee 'power cycle'. This action has also been added to the OSD menu.

* Added --powercyc option to perform a 'power cycle'.

* Added joystick Hat events to generate pseudo button numbers.

* Added --js-hat and --js-hatb options to set joystick hat parameters.

* Added --js-kkb option to make defining mapped joystick keys easier.

* Added --js-shift option to set the new joystick SHIFT button feature.

* Added joystick SHIFT button functionality that effectively doubles the number of button actions to 255-511.

* Added 'hd-teac' and 'hd-mscribe' hard disk formats to the 'libdskrc.sample' file.

* Added Swedish PC85 ROM set (PC85S) aliases to 'roms.alias.sample'

Changes:

* Changed --js-ACTION options to take multiple button values.

* Joystick shifted button numbers 256-511 can now be specified.

* Added axis and Hat button numbers when using --modio=+joystick argument.

* New default joystick buttons are used and enabled by default. See 'joystick.c' or 'games.ini.sample' for the joystick layout:

JS E|O : Up (128|144).

JS F|P : Right (129|145).

JS G|Q : Down (130|146).

JS H|R : Left (131|147).

JS K|L|T|U|X : Fire (0|1|0|1|11).

JS A|I : Player 1 (4|8 ).

JS C|J : Player 2 (5|9).

JS B|M|N|V|W : Spare (6|2|3|2|3).

JS Shift : Shift is button 'D' (7).

JS Shift+A : Mute sound on/off (4).

JS Shift+B : Full screen on/off (6).

JS Shift+C : Pause emulator on/off (5).

JS Shift+Up : increases sound volume.

JS Shift+Down : decreases sound volume.

JS Shift+Right : increases window size.

JS Shift+Left : decreases window size.

* The BeeThoven device no longer requires an 'OUT 1,3' before using it.

* Improvements in speed made to CRTC functions.

* Major changes to the 'games.ini.sample' and 'ubee512rc.sample' scripts to make setting up the joystick easier and more flexible. Emulator commands now make use of a Joystick shift button.

* Changes made to the 'ubee512rc.sample' file.

Fixed:

* Changes made to --varuset option so that 'varname', 'varname=' and 'varname=value' all work.

* Fixed --setvar option when attempting to set a variable that had no '=' character. The variable was being set but could not be located without it so now one is appended if missing. '--setvar myvar' will get set and found.

* Changes made to --setvar option to first check for an existing variable by the same name and removing it before setting the new variable.

* The --js-axis option was doing nothing and has been fixed.

* Fixed hard disk image type '.hd0' to have 306 cylinders, not 305.
