To people using CVS: You'll have to delete your config files again.

So.. is there any updates on when a possible WORKING netplay is going to be in the latest versions? I'm guessing it's going to be a long while, but exactly how long, are we talking years, months, days.. Sorry to be a bother but without netplay all versions later then 1.36 render useless to me because of this. =/

1.40, 1.41, and 1.42 all have Netplay.
Netplay isn't even in the scope of true SNES Emulation.
Just be grateful you have the option at all, in any version.
The ZSNES Team likes Christmas Releases...
maybe if you're good... we'll get 1.43, with Netplay, by Christmas 2009.

Everytime you ask about netplay
I eat a kitten.

Oh nevermind, I do that even if you keep quiet.

I think that the Feb. 28, 2005 WIP is the last one that supported netplay. AFAIK, it had many fixes and improvements over v1.42.

v1.36 is probably a better choice for stability and desyncability, though.

tehnick · Post by **tehnick** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 1:02 am

I've never desynced using v1.36, as for anything newer (1.4x) I get desync every time for every game I've tried.

Yes, we are still working on ZSNES... but since ive come home i haven't had much free time to make a WIP.

ALL: Video code is much smarter at detecting when a window is present and when is not - Earthbound fixed. [pagefault]

Has anyone noticed that there is no obvious link to download the WIP from ipher's page?

Hmm. The "Files" table simply was not appearing in my browser before. I don't know what was causing that...

Send me an email when Netplay is working again.

Netplay...I think perfect Snes emulation is a higher priority.
And Zsnes is still not there yet.
Bugs,unemulated chips,etc...
But judging from the quality of Zsnes,you Devdudes are talented coders and you'll get there eventually.
I believe in you guys!

I finally got enough free time to make another WIP!

http://www.ipherswipsite.com

7/24/05
ALL: ZSNES now decodes shift-jis headers correctly... but the font is still limited to 5x5. [grinvader]
ALL: Improved loading of small ROMs. [Nach]
SDL: New resolutions for SDL port. [Aerdan]
SDL: Optimisation to frame draw code, only draw frames that change. [pagefault]
SDL: Optimized pagefault's draw frame code. [Nach]
SDL: Updated configure CPU detection (still terrible for Athlon non 64 CPUs though >_<). [Nach]
SDL: Put in object converter to convert NASM ELF32 output to ELF x86-64. [Nach]
SDL: Made x86-64 get -k8 Optimization, Intel CPUs can go jump in a lake for now.[Nach]
SRC: Removed duplicate code. [Nach]
SRC: Changed strcpy() to memmove() in filename change because destinations can overlap. [Nach]
SRC: Fixed looking for data all over the place on files which are too small. [Nach]
SRC: Make sure MSVC knows it's running on Windows. Have MSVC clean up it's worthless object files after itself. [Nach]
SRC: Removed useless spaces. Removed addrni.asm from Sconstruct and updated the build instructions for the tools. [Jonas Quinn]
SRC: New tool in. New ignore for tools, so that cvs stops yapping. [grinvader]
SRC: New tool used. Also, silly variable names removed from source. [grinvader]
SRC: 'spcRam' -> 'SPCRAM'. Prerequisite for new SPC stuff. [grinvader]
SRC: Fixed the rampant GCC4 warnings. [Nach]
SRC: Made generated files use proper signs. [Nach]

Hey Ipher, if you want, I can provide Linux binaries compiled under Debian.
