BlargSnes v1.3 disponible

3DS DS

Le désormais célèbre émulateur Super Nintendo pour la 3DS, blargSNES, passe en version 1.3. L'auteur StapleButter nous propose de nombreux changements dans cette mouture, à commencer par l'utilisation des shaders pour l'accélération hardware ainsi qu'un nouveau type de rendu hardware avec de meilleurs modes de résolutions. Vous retrouverez aussi plusieurs correctifs apportés par DiscostewSM mais aussi une amélioration de la qualité sonore, une meilleure émulation des bruits et des échos, des timings plus précis et des corrections IRQ...

Changelog

Version 1.3:

* Usage of geometry shaders and other speedups to rendering

* Hardware renderer: offset-per-tile, hi-res modes, and more fixes by DiscostewSM

* Much better sound quality, support for noise, echo and pitch modulation (thanks DiscostewSM again)

* Two added scaling modes: 4:3 and cropped 4:3

* Better open-bus emulation, and ability to execute code in open-bus regions (fixes Home Alone)

* Overall more accurate timings, IRQ fixes, etc

* ROM selector is no longer locked to the /snes folder

* the usual forgotten novelties, surprise

Version 1.2:

* Brand new hardware-accelerated renderer

* Scaling support

* Exit button (mainly for use with the Homebrew Launcher)

* Emulation fixes (namely, huge 'next EXP' in Earthbound is fixed)

* Support for the 256x239 mode

* Proper PAL support (actually uses PAL timings)

* Tries to prevent GPU freezes

* Synchronous SPC700 (fixes issues but also causes a little slowdown)

* As usual, more crap I forgot about. Hah.

Version 1.1:

* No more garbled/blank screens or freezes when pressing Home or closing/reopening the 3DS or playing with the 3D slider

* Ability to run a new game without restarting blargSnes

* Screenshot function

* Support for external borders

* Support for backgrounds with 16x16 tiles. Super Bomberman games are finally playable.

* Brightness, color math (blending) and windows added. Many games look nicer this way.

* Several PPU speedups

* Speedhacking disabled (it was error-prone, not that efficient, and broke HDMA)

* Replaced forced 1/2 frameskip with automatic frameskipper (isn't perfect, though)

* More stable display (although tearing still occurs when frameskipping), VSync

* More things I forgot about. Surprise!
