News flash: That's exactly what I've been doing. Both versions Fitz posted are from 2 different color-grabbed photos. The first was an off-white photo, and the 2nd is from Grin's flash-photo.

He did, but the old ones were better.

Oh, from the thread I got the impression he was gonna do a realistic reflection with an actual environment map of sorts. Oh well.

FirebrandX · Post by **FirebrandX** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 7:35 am

Yes, I still intend to. Fitz is speaking of a change I did to the buttons, but not the actual reflection concept we talked about.. I'll be starting back up on the modeling tomorrow, but it may be a few days before I have an updated version ready.

So, how long until the GUI of bsnes is a fully rotatable model of a SNES? Click on the cartridge slot to load a game.. or better yet, have an animation of a hand holding a cartridge follow the mouse, and fill in the lable on the game when it's loaded

What does that even mean? What does Absinthe have to do with plant fertilizer?

I was talking about the new indian drink 'Gau Jal'. Here's a link:

I couldn't find any info at Wikipedia,so I posted a link to something similar

I've been wanting this for a while.

Clearly you will need to travel to a store to acquire a SNES in a virtual world , when you start bsnes for the first time.
It won't be a complete emulator until it emulates the actual 'getting the console'-moment.

h4tred · Post by **h4tred** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 5:18 am

That would be a project in itself....Not to mention you need the 3D models, textures, shaders, and the 3D engine to wrap it all together.

henke37 · Post by **henke37** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 8:53 am

Just make it a plugin to one of those existing virtual reality games.

Complete with 90s music in the car stereo?

Yeah! That uber rap album needs to be a hidden album in the car too.

Well that didn't go so well ...

Rebuilt Qt 4.5.0:

Modified mkspecs/win32-g++/qmake.conf:

Code: Select all

QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE	= -Os -fomit-frame-pointer

Configured with:

Code: Select all

configure -static -release -no-exceptions -no-rtti -no-webkit

Phonon was already off (no Direct3D support). No database support either since I have no drivers for them.

Before: 3.33MB -- 3,499,037 bytes
After: 2.89MB -- 3,036,672 bytes

Kept that impartial against the last official release. Subtract another 100kb for the new optimized, smaller PNGs.

Let's try being a bit more extreme, building now with:

Why both with -qt-libjpeg if it doesn't work when you do static linking?

byuu · Post by **byuu** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 6:49 pm

Because I want it to work, damnit :P

Now at: 2.47MB, or 2,594,816 bytes. Quite a difference, especially before compression (10MB->7MB). I wonder which flag specifically shrinks things by a full 30% ...

Compile time of the Qt4 library is nice, too. Only 15 minutes now.

EDIT: there we go, JPEG support works in static builds now.
Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QJpegPlugin)
link += -L$(qtdir)/plugins/imageformats
link += $(call mklib,qjpeg)

Need to use PNG anyway, as we're using the alpha gradient on the controller now.

-----

Can't do better than this ...

Code: Select all

configure -static -release -no-exceptions -no-rtti -no-accessibility -no-stl -plugin-sql-sqlite -no-opengl -no-phonon -no-webkit -no-scripttools -no-openssl -no-dbus -no-style-plastique -no-style-cleanlooks -no-style-motif -no-style-cde

2.40MB, or 2,518,528 bytes.

hello

my avira av said that may be a trojan is in bsnes 0.040
it is highly probable that its a false warning because of to high heuristic

(i hope so...

No problem here at the default settings (at least with regard to heuristics). If you need more help on this, you might want to go to the Tech Talk forum.
A few common-sense questions: Where did you download bsnes from? Has there recently been any other malware on your system?

Also, a possible bug in the user interface: The checkbox for the NTSC filter's merge-fields setting doesn't seem to work (i.e. the fields are never merged regardless of the checkbox setting).

if byuu uses upx, thats probably all it is
or any other exe compressor

false positives.
