CURRENT PROGRESS2001-06-13 ZSNES v1.30 has been released. You can download it from the files section. ZSNES v1.29 is released! Go find it at the files section. A nasty bug crept in that version (mainly with SA-1 emulation) and a couple things have been added, so v1.28b is now released. Another release - ZSNES v1.28! Get it at the files section. Just some teasers here :)
There is no expected time when the support for this will be out, so please don't ask. 2001-05-17 ZSNES v1.26 has been released! Go to the files section to download it. New release - ZSNES v1.25! Get either the Linux, Windows, or DOS port in the archives section. Linux port released! Please read the documentations included in the archive. Here's ZSNES v1.20! Go look in the files section. Me, theoddone33, pagefault, and teuf have worked together to get this:
2001-04-05 We've recently found out that there were some problems with
the currently uploaded source codes, where some of the files got corrupted right
before they were uploaded. It should be fixed now, so anyone who wasn't able to
compile the sources right can re-download the sources. Sorry for any inconvenience. The ZSNES Sources have finally been released in the CVS repository
of the sourceforge page. We also would like to welcome Teuf as a member of the
ZSNES team as an assistant coder! He's helped us with quite a lot in the past
while, including (but not limited to) setting up the Source Forge page,
helping us to write the open source documentation, fixing up the ZSNES sources
to not require a custom version of nasm, organizing the sources into directories,
modifying the make file, etc. With the sources released, we also hope to
release an updated binary soon. Click on the Sourceforge link on the left
side of the screen to access the sources. The sources will also be available
in a ZIP file for those who don't want to use CVS. The new board has been taken down temporarly until we
can figure out why we were charged 5 times as much for hosting during the last
month compared to the other months. Anyways, I'll post up some progress updates
with ZSNES hopefully on Tuesday since I'll be busy with midterms until then.
Although ZSNES' Source Code hasn't been released yet, I've setup a new
message board for the purpose of this. The board script that this board is using
is ikonboard, which is
the same board script that ePSXe.com uses, which requires user e-mail registration. Anyways,
I've started a couple of posts in that board. One is related to how you want
to see ZSNES Open Source to proceed (I'd recommend the developers to answer
this one), and another one which asks for a new logo for the board. I was
also thinking of maybe converting the old message board to the new format, however,
I might end up adding a 'General Chat' forum for off-topic posts instead
and leave the old board for technical questions, unless I hear lots of
objections to it. You can visit the ZSNES Developer's Board here. Some more good news. Dark Force, John Weidman, and I have gotten some more progress
on S-DD1 emulation, specifically on Star Ocean. However, this is still early and the encryption and compression techniques of
the S-DD1 still proves to be very difficult to figure out. Here are some good news. Dark Force of DeJap Translations
and John Weidman teamed up with me to bring you SPC7110 emulation. Progress
is still a bit early, but you can check out some of the pics at DeJap Translations!
A nasty bug has crept into the DOS version in the 8-bit video modes, so a fixed
version (v1.17b) is released (it has the same filename as v1.17 so just overwrite it). There is also
a small feature that was added to the windows port a while ago,
but we just forgot to tell you about it. Basically, it allows you to start-up netplay from the
commandline, so for those who are both willing and interested, you can code a battle.net type software
(or configure existing software) for zsnesw's netplay. Basically, it works like this: Released a new version. Main features here are compatibility fixes,
an addition of a slow motion key, and also more fixes to the out of sync problems in netplay (hope it works). A new version of ZSNES (both Win/DOS ports) has been
released. In this version, netplay technique has been improved (should be less jumpy),
nickname support has been added for netplay, and it also allows for longer in-game chat
strings. The windows port has improved in speed for those who runs it windowed
on a 32-bit color desktop. There are also a bunch of other fixes/additions, so check out
whatsnew.txt that's included in the archive for the full details.
Here's another version. This time, several problems
with the Windows port have hopefully been fixed such as the greeny display
problems some of you have been experiencing and the mouse wheel causing some
problems (although I can't confirm either of these fixes). Also, netplay
has been improved to reduce the amount of in-game pauses. The Tales of
Phantasia rom with that extra 512 byte header should also work in ZSNESw
where it crashed before. There are also a couple of other fixes, so just
refer to whatsnew.txt for the complete list.
A fix version has been released which fixes a
performance bug for those who experienced a noticeable drop in speed
from the windows version of v1.0 to v1.1. This version also has some minor
additional optimisation, adds in (simple) mouse wheel support, and allows
people with no soundcards to run ZSNESw without crashing. 2000-11-07 Just a few things to report. Firstly, since the
bandwidth for zsnes.com has been quite high lately, our main web space
provider, CubeSoft, can't afford to provide us the bandwidth for our site
for much longer, so we have switched to a different server now.
But we would really like to thank CubeSoft
for providing us with web space and bandwidth all this time ever since
before this homepage has gotten a domain name.
