I took the time to fix some bugs and add some requested features, and add new things created by hi-ban and JohnnyonFlame. This results in the 2014-01-03 build.
Download and test: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/106475413/gcw-zero/PocketSNES-20140103-1.opkas well as a pack of SNES game title screens to put into ~/.snes96_snapshots/previews, prepared by hi-ban:
https://mega.co.nz/#!c0FiBATZ!Ivngwi7DY2RgQmpPGyvnDwdaDbkYsxOHCNYI3HIq7-cFeatures and fixes:
- The full-screen scaler from snes9x4d has been added, and the full-screen user preference has been re-enabled. (d_smagin)
- The audio sampling rate option now accepts 32000 Hz, which is the rate used by the SNES itself for output. (Nebuleon)
- The saved state menu now writes a saved state to /tmp/ so it can back out of temporarily loading another state to preview it. This fixes writing the same saved state multiple times, as well as loading #0 with audio disabled when attempting to load any other state. (Nebuleon)
- Star Fox can now be played by those with photosensitive epilepsy. (gcc team)
- Saved states created for Yoshi's Cookie/US and possibly some European and Japanese titles do not freeze the emulator anymore when previewed. (Nebuleon)
- When playing Yoshi's Cookie/US and possibly some European and Japanese titles, the top 7 pixels of the screen no longer flicker between black and a part of the previous frame at 60 Hz. (Nebuleon)
Graphical changes:
- The PocketSNES icon is now inspired by the Super Famicom, which fits with the icon set started by ReGBA and Gambatte. (hi-ban)
- The background of the menu is now inspired by SNES box art, instead of looking like output from the Virtual Boy. (hi-ban)
- The settings of the Main Menu now have right-aligned values which fit in with the SNES box art theme. (Nebuleon)
- The selection bar is now a blending gradient from red to transparent. (JohnnyonFlame)
- The ROM selection interface can now display a background based on the game under the selection bar. The background must be a PNG file in ~/.snes96_snapshots/previews and be 24bpp, 282x186. (hi-ban, Nebuleon)
- The screenshots shown in the saved state menu are now larger, fitting in 205x154 instead of 160x120. (Nebuleon)
