The biggest feature of this new release is the addition of save state support. Note that this is only currently supported for normal games, and the SPC7110 and OBC-1 co-processors. Other special chips, such as the SuperFX and SA-1, cannot currently save and load state files. I will be adding support for other co-processors little by little in future releases.

 

Changelog:

- Added save state support

- Added SPC7110 and OBC1 save state support

- Added new tools group, with new cheat code and save state managers

- Lots of new UI shortcuts: quick save state, quick load state, show state manager, etc

- Escape key will now close both the settings and tools group windows

- Added major speed-ups to both SuperFX and SA-1 emulation; both now run ~15-25% faster than v047

- Added new video filter, LQ2x; it's as fast as Scale2x while being almost as smooth as HQ2x

- Re-wrote HQ2x algorithm; code size was reduced to less than 10% of its original size with virtually no speed loss

- Corrected SuperFX2 cache access timing; fixes Stunt Race FX menus and slowdown in other titles

- Relaxed palette write limitations for PGA Tour Golf [Jonas Quinn]

- Fixed a slight timing issue that was breaking 'An Americal Tail - Feivel Goes West'

- Turned off auto-save of SRAM as it was causing slowdowns when writing to flash memory; can be re-enabled via bsnes.cfg -> system.autoSaveMemory = true

- Added bsnes.cfg -> system.autoHideMenus, defaults to false; when true, menu and status bars will be hidden upon entering fullscreen mode

- Added skeletons for ST011 and ST018 support. Both Quick-move titles get in-game now

- Re-wrote S-CPU and S-SMP processor cores to use templates, removed custom pre-processor

- Split PPUcounter into a base class inherited by both PPU and CPU; allows both cores to run out-of-order

- Split inline header functions to separate files, allows headers to be included in any order now
