bsnes 112

Description

bsnes is a Super Nintendo / Super Famicom emulator that began development on October 14th, 2004. It focuses on performance, features, and ease of use.

bsnes can optionally be configured to have equal accuracy to higan's SNES emulation, but these accuracy options do come at a run-time performance cost.

Some of the unique features to bsnes include:

100% (known) bug-free compatibility with the entire officially licensed SNES library
true Super Game Boy emulation (utilizing SameBoy)
HD mode 7 graphics (vastly increased anti-aliasing for affine texture effects)
a multi-threaded video graphics renderer
built-in databases for games, PCBs, and cheat codes
save state manager with screenshot previews and label support

Changelog

I've released bsnes v112. The major new feature in this release is run-ahead support, which allows you to achieve lower input latencies than even real hardware by removing internal game processing delays. There are many other enhancements since v111 as well.

Changelog:

improved Super Game Boy audio support
fixed two small sprite issues affecting Star Ocean with the accurate PPU
added deterministic rewind support; rewind is now 100% safe when enabled
added a safer save state serialization method for Tales of Phantasia and Star Ocean
fixed detection of ST010 and ST011 HLE when DSP firmware is missing
added SHVC-2P3B-01 prototype board mapping for Kunio-kun Tournament Special
improved the frame advance functionality to be more responsive
added a scanline override for the fast PPU for the Japanese version of NHL '94
added new preset buttons to the driver settings to make adaptive sync and dynamic rate control easier to configure
by request, I added a pseudo-fullscreen mode to continue displaying the status bar
added run-ahead support of up to four frames
optimized save state serialization performance [Alcaro, byuu]
added serialization to the SDD1 decompressor for the new deterministic save state mode
removed the fast PPU tile caching; as it was not helping speed and made serialization more expensive
RetroArch: added Super Game Boy support
RetroArch: added a core change that removes a frame of input latency
Linux: added a fix for a rare crashing issue with SDL joypads
