Snes9x 1.55

[OV2]

Thanks to some dedicated work by qwertymodo, Snes9x 1.55 now has MSU-1 support, including the MSU-1 distribution pack. The MSU-1 is an SNES expansion chip invented by byuu (author of higan), you can find some more information about it here. LuigiBlood also did some work on increasing the BS-X Satellaview support.
Tmkk kindly provided a macOS build, so mac users should finally be able to upgrade.
Other than that there are some game fixes and housekeeping work.

Ah, this is the sort of pleasant surprises I like waking up to!

Hi, thanks a lot for new version! i notice the new version miss DirectDraw output, i read in the news "moved direct draw to compile switch"

Any possibility to build a directdraw compatible binary for x64 and x32? i just download sourcecode, but is Visual Studio, impossible to build for me i have XP x64

If mingw is supported i can build by misself, but sadly VS not

Thanks a lot

Sorry about that, I forgot to turn on DirectDraw for the release. I've uploaded an extra zip with a version that supports DirectDraw and will try to remember it when releasing future versions.

Thanks a lot! sorry for the trouble, for 240p 15khz, directdraw on 2000/XP is great, specially latency

again sorry for trouble

Thanks for the Mac update, Tmkk! It even works with Mac OS 10.6.8 on my end!

I've been using this emulator for a very long time, especially with regards for dumping SPCs. This has been my number one emulator for extracting soundtracks to many SNES games over the years, and I still do SPC dumps. I also, more recently, use it as a second testbed for my own SNES music that I created using the SNESMod sound driver by Mukunda Johnson.

how do you emulate BS-X - The Town Whose Name Was Stolen so it appears your online

[Mr. Matt Eastwood]

Hey guys, has anybody been able to compile this on Linux? (Ubuntu, Mint)

I installed a shitload of required packages that ./configure asked for, and now it's telling me:

Snes9x will build with support for the following:

GTK+ 2.0
!!! NOT able to use OpenGL support
!!! NOT able to use XVideo support
--- Needs recent X11 libraries and headers
XRandR
!!! NOT able to use joystick support
--- Needs SDL libraries and headers
NetPlay

Stuck Any help (or a .deb ) would be appreciated.

[BearOso]

You need the -dev versions of the packages, too, for Debian based distros. Search google for “compiling Snes9x on Ubuntu,” and someone has found the required packages.

configure: error: --with-system-zip given but cannot find system minizip library

Mint 17.3 doesn't have minizip in the repos, but I found and installed a package from here which didn't help. 1.54 didn't give me any compilation complaints about zlib so I'm not sure where else to look.

Any working Linux binary I create will be posted for others to make us of, as I already demonstrated in the 1.54 thread.

[BearOso]

Try configure with --without-system-zip maybe?

Edit: Apparently, the ubuntu packages you need are libminizip1 and libminizip-dev.
