HalfNES v0.043 is released. HalfNES is an open-source emulator for the Nintendo Entertainment System, written in Java. Currently, it only runs as a standalone Java SE application.

Current Features:
-Now cropping off the top and bottom 8 pixels of the video output, since these are not visible on most TVs and a lot of games render garbage on those lines.
-Added volume slider to options dialog (and rewrote the sound output code as well.)
-Fixed a lot of sound bugs. Crystalis, Zombie Nation, A Boy And His Blob etc. all sound right now.
-Fixed Twin Cobra

HalfNES v0.043 Changelog:
Last version for the year.
-Fixed many more bugs and edge cases with the file loading, including a crash that only seemed to happen on Linux when loading a ROM from the command line
-Made some changes to the sprite rendering code, now pass more of blargg's sprite hit tests and the Snake Pit level in Battletoads shouldn't flicker any more.
(I haven't actually tested this since I can't get back there now.)
