Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

Isn't $200 is a bit low for that kind of work ? The programmers who code these things deserve a bit more than that.

Presumably anyone who has the skills to do this is already interested in this kind of work as a hobby, so the cash reward is just to encourage them to do something that they might do anyway. Kind of like commissioning a drawing from a hobbyist artist.

Yes, it does, except that Powerfest 94 emulation appeared in newer version, that is rather nasty to make work as a library...

Retroarch has ported BSNES v0.92 into a DLL library as of late. http://board.byuu.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3606
