i've got 2 ZSNES dirs... ZSNES... and ZSNES Netplay... the netplay version is 1.42... ZSNES contains the actual WIP with higher screen solutions and so on...

are you gonna redesign netplay support and add it to ZSNES WIP...?

THX... :)

If I remember right, the whole reason Nach removed netplay from ZSNES was because of timing issues. I guess it won't be added back in until he is able to reprogram netplay to not have those timing issues anymore.

They removed netplay because it was using old code, that caused conflicts with the improvements that are being made to zsnes, they need to program netplay again in other to not cause problems. It's also going to be better, of course, because it will take advantage of the improvement to zsnes.

Although it's out when it's out. It's the same as with new releases, please read the rules. I'll lock this, and if a dev wants to give his input, he will be able to.

Have a nice day.

WIPs are unofficial and unstable releases, so this is the kind of stuff that you should expect. I wish people would get this straight.

That is exactly why there are official releases available at www.zsnes.com, and also why I'm fed up with WIP releases.
