Snes9x 1.54

Post by OV2 »

It's still alive :!:
After five years with no official builds, we finally got around to release a new version of Snes9x (thanks BearOso). Unfortunately zones has since gone missing, which is why there is no macOS version this time. The gtk and unix ports are updated, but are not provided as binary relases - you will need to compile them yourself or wait for builds for your distribution.
The major change since 1.53 is the updated SMP, which was graciously provided by byuu (bsnes).

Glad to see this still being worked on :mrgreen: I'll ask around to see if a Wii U port can be made since the console can run a kernel exploit.

We're sorry about the Mac port. I no longer have a Mac recent enough to do the update or I would try.

If anyone out there with the know-how wants to take up the mantle and bring it up to snuff, you're welcome to do so.

I'm also looking at releasing a 1.54.1 version in the near future because of the problems with both the Windows and GTK+ versions.

Can it be compiling to Mac ? Curiousity. I saw SNES9X 1.54.1 source at http://www.s9x-w32.de/dl/

Is it possibly ? I need an tutorial to compile it and yes I have Xcode the latest version. I will be gladly to share it at s9x-w32.de for Mac users to download it.

Again, I need an tutorial for how to do that. I never compile it before.

can you provide a list of known issues? this would help users decide whether it's better for a given case to use 1.54 or a previous build.

1.54.1 is just a port bugfix release. OV2 will probably post the changelog to the first post.

Just use the latest version. If it's too slow, use an older version. If you're playing a game that needs more accuracy, like Rendering Ranger R2, Super Punch Out!, Airstrike Patrol, or (God forbid) Speedy Gonzales, use bsnes/higan or Retroarch with a bsnes/higan core.

It's more than just compiling it. You'd have to update the port to match new code in the rest of Snes9x.

I see. Can you tell me how ? I will be happy to share it at the site for Mac users as I mentioned before.

no, we can't tell you how; the work requires an experienced Mac programmer.

when testing out Kirby Super Star it seems to still be having slow down on the video when the 3D intro moves when it is rotated, so it's delayed compared to the audio. Same thing happens in Super Mario RPG to the intro when the butterflys fly away from Peach. Is there anyway to fix this? Because that's the only issue I have with it.

Do you know what problems 'Rendering Ranger R2' has on Snes9x? Is the game impossible to complete?

On v1.54 (and v1.54.1) if you close the emulator while playing a movie, the emulator crashes. This happens even after the movie has already finished. It gives the following error:

What exactly is "while playing a movie"? A movie file from your pc? Which player? S9x should not be affected by that - did you try changing the output method to OpenGL?
