HLSL Updates: [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment]
* Switched to point-sampling through most of the shader chain to
avoid non-intentional pixel smearing
- Corrected alignment and scaling on the shadow mask and scanlines;
dramatically reduces rainbow banding at non-oversampled resolutions.
Fixed a rather silly bug with SCU DSP execute flag [Angelo Salese]
Moved SMPC intback command inside a timer, removes a kludge for SMPC
mask irq [Angelo Salese]

input_manager class to hold machine-global state and made it

(0-255, up from 0-16), and the OSD can now specify the device index
explicitly if they can better keep the indexes from varying
run-to-run. [Aaron Giles]

i86: fix initial CS on reset [Alex Jackson]
memory: Change the gc into a refcounter, for speed reasons.
[O. Galibert]
Fix inverted check on anonymous timers prior to saving state. Also fix
bug where we fail to ignore the permanent non-expiring anonymous
timer. Added code to log timers, and we now log them at each save
attempt as well as at restore time. Should fix most recent save state
releated regressions. [Aaron Giles]

DeSmuME SVN r4037
"r4031
gtk: open recent should behave the same as open
If running, pause before loading a new rom
From Jan Bücken (nooris), #3288654
r4032
gtk: call launch after rom reset
Jan reports that if you call reset when a game is paused
the statusbar would wrongly report the game as playing
when it is actually paused. Jan's attached patch removes
the call to desmume_resume() and the status bar update.
I think the intent here is different and the plan was to
reload the game so just call Launch directly as already
Jan noticed it would do the right thing.
Based on a patch from Jan Bücken (nooris), #3288654

r4037
gtk-glade: Fix wrong savestate slot, bug #3305716
satelight reports the menu item position for savestates does
not match the slots they are saved.
As zeromus explains the pattern should be:
F1 saves to ds1
F2 saves to ds2
F10 saves to ds0
recent savestates list looks like:
1 myfile.ds1 F1
2 myfile.ds2 F2
...
0 myfile.ds0 F10
Based on a patch from satelight."

puNES v0.21
"In the future I will use this post to announce new releases and changes.
puNES is an emulator under development that works on Linux32/64 and Windows32. It needs of SDL library to run. Uncompress the zip/tar file in a subdirectory. Run it with the name of the rom as the first argument (or, in Windows, if you don't want use the commandline, drag the rom on the icon of the emu).
P.s. doesn't support zipped rom yet
Current version : 0.21
Changelog:
0.21
Correct some bugs in the MMC3 (NTSC and PAL) and now
all the roms that I'have tried works well.
0.20
Implemented illegal opcode 0x80 for the "Beauty and the Beast (E) [!].nes" rom
0.19
complete APU emulation.
This is my first attempt with sdl sound and perhaps there may be some bugs. For now, without the implementation of frameskip, the emulator has to work 100% for not having problems with sound skip and crackle.
Changed the structure of the code and now the emu takes less than 100Kb.
Correct many many many bugs.
0.18:
added AxROM (mapper 7) emulation.
0.17:
fixed another bug and now Incredible Crash Dummies run without problems.
0.16:
correct a couple of bugs in the mmc3 emulation.
0.15:
added MMC3 emulation.
0.14:
Correct a a bug in the controller routine (thanks Dwedit).
0.13:
Correct a little bug and now all cpu_interrupts_v2 test roms passed.
0.12:
Implemented reading of $2004 during the rendering.
(thx to Quietust for the info and for the read2004.nes test rom).
0.11:
I worked hard on the CPU and PPU emulation and now many
of test roms worked perfectly (thanks blargg).
Added OpenGL support.
Implemented APU Frame Interrupt (only this for now).
Many bugs are gone.
Mappers supported : 0, MMC1, UNROM, CNROM, MMC3, AxROM.
Sound : Implemented.
keyboard:
arrow keys = left, right, up, down
a = button A
s = button B
z = Select
x = Start
1 = 1x
2 = 2x
3 = 3x
4 = 4x
5 = no filters
6 = scale2x
7 = ntsc (press more time to switch between composite, svideo, rgb, monochrome)
. and , = switch between PAL palette, NTSC palette and Sony CXA2025AS US decoder, monochrome and greenchrome.
f = toggle fullscreen
o = switch between opengl and software rendering
p = toggle stretch in fullscreen
r = something nice in opengl mode (use the mouse to rotate the cube)"
