SSNES v0.6

EmuCR: SSNESSSNES v0.6 is released. SSNES is a simple frontend for the libsnes library. libsnes is the emulator core of bSNES, the most accurate SNES emulator to date, in library form. The libsnes API has been implemented by SNES9x as well, allowing multiple different cores to be used for an emulator that supports libsnes. This enables the possibility of custom front-ends for the emulator.

SSNES v0.6 Changelog:
New features:
Live video recording with FFmpeg. This feature isn´t exactly new, but it´s been greatly reworked to something usable. SSNES can now dump live game footage losslessly straight to FFV1 encoded video (RGB32), and FLAC encoded audio. I recommend using .mkv container for this. .mp4 seems to fail, and .avi IS fail. It runs in a thread, so the overhead should be quite low/nonexistant if you have multiple CPU cores and a decent harddrive. The video will probably require some processing after, as most video players expect YV12, and directly converting RGB to YV12 won´t give you good results.
Add option to disable joypad input for slots, which seems to be needed for some games to operate properly.
BSD support. BSD systems are now supported. I only tested on OpenBSD/i386 4.9, but it should hopefully work on other BSD variants.


Fixes:
Fix OSS audio driver for BSD, which use slightly different conventions.
Fix some quickbuild parsing with command-line options to not rely on sed where it´s not needed.
Replace final uses of strcpy()/strcat() with strlcpy()/strlcat() (see OpenBSD ;D).
Fix case where input_slot = 2 was selected with shaders.
Force rewind granularity to 1 when we´re playing back or recording a .bsv movie.


GUI:
As GTK2 issues were resolved, default toolkit in Linux/BSD is now GTK2. The Qt version can still be built with make -f Makefile.qt.
Greatly improve layout consistency in general (you´ll notice ... )
Input configuration gives more visual feedback when configuring buttons (similiar to bsnes-phoenix).
Add "None" input option.
Add possibility to start FFmpeg recording.
