Amazing. These game fixes are definitely the right direction.

Thanks for the great release guys, especially on the new rendering engine.

Old (pre April 4 2005 WIP):

New (April 4 2005 WIP):

The bottom of the Mickey sprite is corrupt in the new screen though...

The intro of Star Fox is heavily messed up in the new WIP.

We know, that's why we said it's still under construction.

I want to give a little update about the next WIP.

grinvader and I have spent a while removing a ton and I mean a TON of old code.

This means ZSNES should be faster, and possibly some bugs have been introduced.

I would like everyone to report speed improvements, and report any crazy new bugs that weren't in the previous WIP.

Is the new WIP still being worked on, or is it coming out soon?

About the old code:

Was it obsoleted code that never got removed when newer code was added?

Well, you can keep an eye on the CIA page for clues.

Try compiling ZSNES yourself.

There's a sticky thread nearby that tells you what you need to do. I started compiling ZSNES myself because I was impatient and tired of waiting for WIPs.

Ipher is away for the weekend, so that means the WIP will prolly be out by Monday.

Hmm... not really. It's the netplay code. It was added in the middle of things pretty much everywhere, which makes it hell to understand / debug / and even remove.

I need people to get CVS and try to compile on various platforms (DOS, Windows especially, since I can't do it) so that I can get rid of the last chunks.

Compiling fine with MinGW and runs. (Win32)
That was a LOT of code to remove.

I was looking at the CVS repository.. what was that.. 4000+?

For starters, we're still going

I finished writing a prog earlier to detect unused declerations in assembly source, so we're making use of it

The new gfx engine is coming along. There still are some bugs, but less than before.

I should add that you should definitly delete config files before using this version.

I'll be happy once I can record a movie using those and not freeze my comp on exit...

What the what? Install autotools.

Of course, how you get them depends on your distro. If you are debian based, apt-get install automake and autoconf
