DigeratiPrime Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Dec 21st, 2006 - NachI am pleased to announce another long awaited release of ZSNES. This time around we made many improvements to the software in general, fixed, and added many new features.We also have made several updates to the emulation fixing bugs that were never addressed before.People who maintain packages for various distros should use "./configure --enable-release --disable-cpucheck force_arch=i586 " to build this release, see the documentation for more details.Please read our large but but comparatively modest change log of all the changes we made.Enjoy the release and happy holidays from the ZSNES Team.Changes:v1.50 - December 22, 2006All Ports:For this release we spent much time rewriting, porting, improving many internal subsystems. ZSNES is a program with over 200,000 lines of source code and in this release, over 25% of that has been modified. Also around 15% of assembly has been ported to C. The upcoming list while large can't fully describe the amount of work and the amount of improvements made. Make sure to see the readme to find out how to use all the new features.Subsystem Additions/Updates/Rewrites/Fixes/ImprovementsChangelog is several pages in length! http://www.zsnes.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
