SNEmulDS 0.5 alpha released

[Robert]

SNES emulator for the DS

 

This time, after sound and CPU, the big update is on graphics side! The graphics engine has been entirely rewritten and should offer a much better look for most games (especially RPG like Chrono Trigger)!

 

This alpha version also integrate a new configuration file, that allow you to choose the best options for each game.

 

* New GFX engine that support tile address alteration (For RPG games and others)

* Faster HDMA (Makes games like Chrono Trigger faster)

* Much better line by line engine, which is now the default (Old tile mode is nearly broken in this alpha)

* Better transparency support

* Other GFX updates: Moved sprites 1 pixel up, Background color alteration by scanlines, fixed 16px tiles flip, better mode 5, better scrolling, new squish method…

* Added configuration file support snemul.cfg (no saving support yet in this alpha) that allow specific configuration for each game.

* And Thanks to Lestat for making the nice SNEmulDS Icon!

 

As usual you have to patch it, i already did it for R4DS/M3Simply.

 

Please take a look in the configuration file, you can change the ROMs directory and other interesting stuff.

 

On a side note, welcome to a new developer in the SNEmulDS team : thk!
