SSNES v0.9.5 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 v0.9.5 Changelog:

Console - PlayStation 3 port quite complete (Squarepusher). - Lots of work on XBox 360 port (Squarepusher). - Add SSNES-Salamander for PS3 and 360 (Squarepusher). General - Add experimental audio rate control. This will dynamically adjust input rate on the fly to possibly eliminate all stuttering in video if enabled. - Add new SSE-optimized windowed sinc resampler for improved audio quality. If SSNES is built on 32-bit x86 and sinc is used, it is recommended to compile with SSE enabled for major speedup. Old hermite resampler is still available in compile time (--disable-sinc). 32-bit Windows build still uses hermite by default. 64-bit Windows build has sinc enabled as availability of SSE can be guaranteed. - Add resampler test cases to objectively verify quality and correctness. - Add IPS patching support. - Add --no-patch option to disable all rom patching. - Add compatibility layer for legacy network implementations. - kp_plus/kp_minus detected properly again. - Add fixes to C++ build. - Fix regression with screenshots (Mziab). - Bump maximum players to 8 to accomodate possible needs in future. - Add SET_VARIABLES extension interface to libsnes. Cores can advertise support for very obscure settings that cannot be supported generically. - Add SET_ROTATION interface to allow implementations to defer screen rotation to hardware if available. - Add audio batch callback that improves performance of certain libsnes implementations. - Add *_equal semantics to state tracker. Allowing checking for multiple buttons pressed at once. Useful for certain shaders. - Fix bug with XAudio in nonblock mode. - .cgp shaders can take absolute paths for shaders. Mostly useful on consoles. - Add code to be able to cleanly reinit Cg. - If output sample rate is not supported in OSS, do not fail, and use the given rate. - Fixup compatibility with very recent FFmpeg. Should now work seamlessly with v52/v53/v54 libav*. - Add option to use FFV1 instead when support for H.264 recording is compiled in. - If loading a library fails on Windows, the more precise error code is logged. - Movie playback doesn't fail if the recording and playing core doesn't match. A warning will be logged instead. - Allow stopping movie playback early. - Add device selection to XAudio2 and DirectSound. - BSV movie error handling is more lenient, and tries to give warnings about possible incompatibilities rather than throw an error. (AlexFolland). - Savestates that have path appended with ".auto" will be automatically loaded on startup. Useful for arcade-style games. - Lots of minor bug fixes and cleanups allround. GUI - Make the updater more intuitive to use by adding dedicated buttons for using and downloading libsnes cores. - Fix bug where torrentzipped archives were crashing the GUI.
