Could I get some help compiling the source code? I've managed to compile pretty much everything with mingw except the resource file. I'm getting syntax errors on line 210. All other errors I've managed to repair. Mostly C++ spec variations between gcc updates. Edit: Never mind. Header file issues resolved. Preprocessor's fault.

Very nice work Gocha! There's only one thing that still doesn't work, didn't in either 1.43 or 1.51. Some sound effects in the three Super Star Wars games. It is some kind of an echo effect to it, the sound is longer then it should be. If you could fix that, it would be MUCH appreciated!

I think if he fixes something sound related, savestates will be no more reliable like in 1.51. That's what did happened. So, it's not recommended to touch anything related to emulation unless he updates savestates. And if he would know how to do so, he would have fix 1.51 problems not 1.43. That... is 4 years old now? Kinda old... heh. Your best hope is to wait 1.52 that should fix even more sound emulation problems. In hope savestates will be reliable.

It didn't in 1.51 anyway, so it's probably not related

Hey, since you're working on this emulator I thought I would bring this to your attention. (Great work btw) One particular game can't be emulated in Snes9X at a certain point whereas ZSNES can emulate it. I'm not really sure what the reason is but I've never been able to get past this part. Game is Dragon View (U) [!].smc. Here's a movie of the glitch (Snes 1.43 was used) http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/4604/Dragon%20View%20%28U%29%20%5B%21%5D%20temple%20glitch.smv Well, this isn't really important but it might happen in other games as well. The problem IS in the emulator since I beat the game a few times on ZSNES with the same rom... I should mention it does mess up a bit in ZSNES as well but the game doesn't crash... just buggy visuals. I don't really expect you to work on this problem since this is the only game it happens in as far as I know, just curious as to what the issue is and if it's something I can fix myself or if it would require coding/whatever in the emulator (which I don't understand at all).

I have a problem (beta17): I don't know whether it's Wine, Ubuntu or Snes9x that is causing it, but... I can't press left and right/up and down at the same time (or, well, I can, but Snes9x doesn't accept the input). Any other combination (diagonals, two buttons at the same time etc) works just fine, but not opposing directions. This is true even when I map all directions to one button and press it (in which case it only reads left and up). Is this a fault in the emulator, Wine's handling of the emulator, some deep magical mechanism in Ubuntu or did my keyboard start having weird hiccups?

DeHackEd, MinGW compiling is untested at all. If you modified a file to build improvement11, I'd like to know what had changed. By the way, your snes9x-lua sounds very interesting!

The short version is that the resource file still runs through the C preprocessor. All those VS_* macros are converted to integers from windows header files. The resource compiler doesn't process them directly. Except the ones that were missed because the headers didn't pull in all the necesseties, or they were defined conditionally with #ifdefs. I had to manually #include <commctrl.h> and even then some files needed tweaking to import everything I need. The C preprocessor can be manually invoked, so that helped immensely. That aside, it builds just fine under mingw.

Snes9x improvement11? beta18/RC2 - Lazy sound frequency hack is back, due to clicking noise (thanks: inichi). When should I remove "beta"... the first submission created with improvement11 comes?

I'm currently working on two runs using V11. Donkey Kong Country will most likely be the one done first, but that will still take awhile... I'll see if I found any major issues during the making. But so far it looks really nice!

If you don't plan to add any more codes or features. I dunno.

This may be a bit off-topic, but I'm having some problems compiling this. I'm getting a bunch of these errors when linking the libraries: 
MSVCRT.lib(MSVCR80.dll) : error LNK2005: _fwrite already defined in LIBCMT.lib(fwrite.obj)
Does anyone know what could be wrong here?

Gunty, I think you should use /MT instead of /MD.

Okay, thanks, that worked. But now when I try to run the emulator, it asks for libpng13.dll and msvcr80.dll. When placing those in de emulator's directory (which shouldn't be nessecary in the first place), I'm getting an error about a failed initialization. I'm sorry to bother you this much, but I'm a bit new to this all.

Build libpng (and other libraries, maybe) as a static library with compiler option /MT.

Okay, it's finally working now. From this point on I'll always compile the required libraries by myself ;). Thanks again.

Hey Gocha, thanks again for your dev help. I'm trying out beta-18 now. In Super Mario World, the music seems to be consistently at a lower pitch than in previous versions. I also compared this with "SNES9x 1.51 i11 fix3"'s sound, which was of the higher pitch, but has a constant hiss. Is there a setting for the sound that you changed in this beta or in beta-17? I also tried Donkey Kong Country 2 but it did not seem to have a different pitch.

Snes9x improvement11? beta19/RC3 - Disabled new snapshot screenshot code. Savestate is now same as v9. - Added OldFrequency option. Sorry if you're annoying with repetitive slight changes. JXQ, I think old sound is a bit too high. Anyway I added new option to switch pitch multiplier.

I disagree. Here is a sound file (link removed) I recorded. 0:00 - 0:12 - YI2 console run 0:12 - 0:25 - YI2 TAS run using beta-18 0:25 - 0:27 - beginning chime of console run 0:27 - 0:29 - beginning chime of TAS run using beta-18 (I included the last part because I think it's easier to hear the difference there) Edit: I seem to have found a memory-leak in beta-15 (by loading states over and over). But I couldn't reproduce it in beta-18, so it seems you also have found it :)

I forgot to mension this: I guess you are using improvement11 with FixFrequency=TRUE, aren't you? Edit: Yes, I've fixed memory-leak problem. delete [] local_screenshot;

Though I remember changing that to False, it indeed was set to true again.. maybe I ran one of the earlier versions and it reset it after changing it. Anyway it seems to be sounding better now that I've re-reset that option. Thanks for your help!

Pfft! Don't worry about it! While some will complain you should wait a bit more between releases to allow people proper time to check each version, you simply go at what pace works for you. When you feel you're nearing the finalized version though, that's when I'd make an announcement about it being the next to final version and give people a few days to test everything... unless the discovery of something would affect alot of other things that would be tested.
