I appreciate all the improvements made to ZSNES, but I am most appreciative of the MinGW improvements/zget (which got my vote), since compiling ZSNES becomes a much more trivial exercise and I don't need a lot of prior know-how to get things up and running and to test changes. Obviously MinGW support is welcomed as it is a nice, free, small compiler.

I also appreciative the new psr config file as I once requested a similiar thing for ZSNES a while ago, but it was not possible at the time with no psr code in place. Now with PSR, the config file is essentially unified and to a large extent editable, but on top of that, works between versions - no more issues arising from not deleting config files.

If it's "Other", POST WHAT. ¬_¬

My vote went to the movie feature.

Zget3 and archopt is nice (UPX is overrated IMO)...

ZSNES has greatly improved in many aspects, but I think I would have to go with the compatibility and stability improvements, such as the upcoming new CPU core and fixes for the core randomness. These fixes will in turn allow for other improvements and features in the future (new netplay, stable ZMVs, etc.). So my vote falls under "Other".

The ZSNES Documentation is also much better, too. ;)

UPX compresses the executable by doing some interesting stuff.. you can search the board for UPX references.

I know what UPX is, but it appears that you're making a comparison between ZGet3 and UPX. And why is UPX overrated? Is it flawed in some way?

I was not trying to make a comparison.. I find that UPX is not particularly special for what it provides. Though some people prefer keeping it small.. I can at least understand that for the DOS port (the size w/o UPX is approximately 3x bigger than the Windows port w/o UPX)

The app uses a couple of megabytes extra memory, but the executable is roughly 17% of the size. All ipher's builds and official releases to my knowedge are compressed with UPX.
