Thank you for all your hard work, guys. After hanging out in #zsnes for awhile, a person's appreciation for what it takes to be a ZSNES dev increases.

I'm curious, do you have a development roadmap for this project, like some Mozilla projects have?

You seem to be very organized.

We have some short term roadmaps. We also have some basic long term ideas that we hope to achieve.

"50% C by year's end" - Nach

"Accurate emulation before 2013" - grinvader :þ

You forgot 100% portable by 2010 - theoddone33.

Well done fellas. I've been enjoying following your work now that I can test it myself with MinGW. Not to mention ruffling a few people's feathers (Nach) and finding minor bugs from time to time. Lol.

I'm glad that more portability is being done to ZSNES.

I'm enjoying any forthwright updates and changes to come.
ZSNES has always been my favorite SNES emulator since the beginning.
Yeah!

EDIT: Btw, what EXE compression program do you use Ipher to compress zsnesw.exe? I assume it's UPX but I get about 40 kbs more compression using the free version of PECompact2. Just curious.

Remember, you're not using the same compiler ipher is.

Quite true.. I didn't ask what he uses to compile either.

I use MSVC 2003 for my compiler, and UPX with -9 for the WIPs (--best for releases)

BTW, this WIP now can use normal save states with THG.

At last.

I've been doing it for about a week now... contrary to what Nach says, I've had zero problems using MSYS.

Unless there are hidden errors I'm not aware of.

This is super-duper.

Nach thinks MSYS's make sucks, for some reason he has yet to inform me of.

I did have one legitimate problem with it, but it ended up being rm, not make. I had to use rm -f instead of just rm, or it would kill make on file not found. After fixing that, it works beautifully.
