Since the last release I've added unicode support to the windows port of snes9x. Since this involved quite a few changes I've decided to post an interim test version.
I'd really appreciate feedback from users with roms/movies/paths that contain unicode characters.

The archive also contains an x64 build that you can try if you have an x64 windows version. Also present is HLSL shader support for direct3d (provided by mudlord). I've packaged mudlord's shaders into a separate zip, and fes made a few shaders on the bsnes board that you can try.

The config file is now considered utf-8, so if you previously had characters in your specific locale they might not load correctly.

Brilliant, tried the x64 build and runs fine.

Which ones? Hardly noticed issues in SMW sound when vsync is enabled.

Did you tweak the sound options and make sure that Snes9x was the only program running?

Another interim build, this time with OpenGL and GLSL support:
snes9x_testbuild_18052010.zip

Currently requires OpenGL 2.1 (since I'm using PBOs).

Source, or is it for Snes9x 1.53?

I plan on including it in the next version.

Here is the source for the last testbuild:

Currently requires OpenGL 2.1 (since I'm using PBOs).

Upon looking at the source, I have to wonder why you are using PBOs. Wouldn't blitting regardless be fine?

I'm using a PBO to avoid having to create an extra memory buffer for the output filter step.

Here's a new testbuild: snes9x_testbuild_13112010.zip

OpenGL should work on older cards (PBOs are optional)
Synchronizes the Win7 jumplist with the recent roms list
Support bSNES-style XML-based .shader files
Updated menu structure
Drag&Drop support for ROMs
Various small fixes

Shaders can be found here:
HLSL-shaders by mudlord
GLSL-shaders in the bSNES download section

As always, feedback would be appreciated (especially if there are problems on older windows versions).
