BSNES v0.049 released

[Robert]

SNES emulator. Get it HERE.

 

This is a maintenance release, but it offers a lot of bug-fixes and speed-ups, so it should be well worth the update. The debugger is not finished yet, so use it at your own risk. It is disabled in the binary release because breakpoint testing impacts performance. Once it is ready, I will release a separate binary with the debugger enabled.

 

Changelog:

Optimized S-PPU emulation, provides a ~10-15% speedup in normal games

Cleaned up cheat editor user interface

Added save state and export data path selections

Added workaround for a strange issue that caused PAL games to run at 60 fps sometimes

Added a preliminary debugger (disabled in binary releases due to associated speed hit)

Added S-CPU and S-SMP stepping and tracing support

Added read/write/execute breakpoint support

Added memory editor (currently it can only view memory)

Various code cleanup work, as usual (note: the debugger code is messy, as it is in-progress)
