| Yet Another Snes9X Windows Release! |

Yet another Snes9X Windows release.
Download this if you have a 3Dfx card and were getting crashes when trying to use the 3Dfx bi-linear image processing option, it might help...
In fact anyone who has already got v1.28 should discard that version and use this new release - I've fixed a nasty bug in the emulated NMI handling that could cause any game to fail - its just odd that bug never showed up in the Linux port, the port I tested many games on before the release.
Here's the full list of changes since v1.28:
- Disabled the SPC700 noise feature simulation used by Chrono Trigger and
Final Fantasy 3 until I work out why its being triggered by sound effects
that don't use it.
- Rewrote/reorganised the DirectX and 3D/fx handling code, now both are never
enabled at the same time in Snes9X. It might fix the crashing problems some
Window port users are seeing. Changing between DirectX and Voodoo 3D/fx
modes now requires Snes9X to be restarted.
- Tracked down and fixed the Chrono Trigger black screen problem on the Windows
port: a rogue asm instruction was left in by mistake after some code edits -
it was only by chance that the code worked on the Linux port.
- Added some SNES debug options to the Windows port, but disabled by default,
on the shipped version.
- Clicking on the column headings in the OpenROM dialog in the Windows port
now sorts by that column; plus added some slight screen update optimisations.
- Added an optimisation to graphics rendering: don't add or subtract
sub-screen from background layers, or clear the sub-screen, if SNES fixed
colour is black and no background layers are enabled on sub-screen, even if
ROM tries to enable translucency effects for every background layer.
Discovered Sonic was doing this, there will be others.
- Forgot to enable auto S-RAM save on Windows port, oops!
All changes between versions are listed in the CHANGES.TXT file included in the .zip file, something I forgot to do in the last release, sorry!.
Go grab it from the downloads page now!

| WWEmu discontinued |
|
| It's a sad day, WWEmu has been discontinued, Paul Langlois currently has too many private things on his mind(job, family, etc) so he can't continue the site. Since none of his staff members were willing to take over the site, it has been discontinued. Well, the Snes9x team wishes Paul the best of luck.

| And a very happy New Year, and let's all hope that the Y2K problem doesn't ruin it for some...

| Not so much a Snes9x update, but rather an update to the site. I've provided a link to www.freedonation.com on the main page, a site which is run by a few volunteers, one of which asked us to put up a link to their site. The site itself has a huge button in the middle where you can donate $0.02 per click per day without sending money in yourself. 100% of what the sponsors pay goes directly to the World Health Organization (WHO), an United Nations agency working on the frontlines of the battle to save the lifes of children. So make your donation today, help the children of the future.
