after obtaining the agbcc binary, they could tell the company who developed it to release the source code: https://github.com/pret/agbcc

I'm no expert, but I think it's perfectly legal to make your custom copy of GCC for internal use without releasing it.

It's not like playing tag, where the last link in the chain only has the responsibility. If I find a flash drive on the street with a copy of emacs on it I could contact the GNU project and ask for the source, I don't have to find whoever dropped it to get it.

Here's an idea for a Linux distro: each successive version of a package has to decrease its size/complexity, or else it won't be merged.

Also, I'm pretty sure my GPU fan bearings are a little worn; when I do something really GPU intensive I can hear a bit of a rattle, and that's not happening here.

  auto level() -> double override {
    XAUDIO2_VOICE_STATE state{};
    self.sourceVoice->GetState(&state);
    uint level = state.BuffersQueued * self.period + self.buffers[self.index].size() - state.SamplesPlayed % self.period;
    uint limit = Buffers * self.period;
    return (double)level / limit;
  }

  auto level() -> double override {
    return (double)((blockQueue * frameCount) + frameIndex) / (blockCount * frameCount);
  }

I nabbed myself a noctua cooler a while back and it was by far the least stressful cooler install I've done.

and well, quiet and cool. maybe I should see how much quieter I can get it

So, I get that it's impossible, but why? Would the value of N be too low to be worth the extra save/load business?

You're going to hate my Devil's Advocate here, but ... you could make a 2k SNES game. In fact, I have one. blargg modified a sports game cart to map RAM in place of ROM for me, and I used that as a devcart to launch my USART serial loader prior to the 21fx by defparam. The 2k would just be mirrored to fill 8000-ffff, so if you only have 0000-1fff, then your vectors would go at 1fxx.

But yes, it's completely insane. If you're willing to reject the ROMs, I'd be willing to consider doing the same in higan.

So, I intend to offer this in bsnes, but I'm curious if Snes9X and/or Mesen-S are going to be interested or not.
I know Snes9X recently removed the feature, so ... maybe it's too soon?

> I need to undertand what his 3D perspective setting does now.

I'm guessing it's related to the way it interpolates new scanlines between each row. If you want to interpolate HD scanlines between two SNES scanlines, you need to know the configuration the game used for the upper and lower SNES scanlines to do the interpolation. However, that would require letting SNES emulation advance to the next scanline before you've drawn the previous one, and that might have implications for sprite rendering, etc. Instead, when you're rendering an interpolated scanline, you need to extrapolate the settings based on the previous two scanlines, and there are probably different ways to extrapolate depending on whether you assume it's a 3D perspective or not.

EDIT: I made an imgur gallery to demonstrate the effect of the "Optimize psuedo 3D perspective" option.

I think the perspective option can be enhanced in the future to detect when a frame isn't really in perspective, and to disable the option for said frames. Could even design it to split the frame into multiple chunks, so eg Terranigma can be made to look good. Probably won't be trivial, though. Certainly it's above my head, mathematically.

Also, upon implementing this, I can see that unfortunately this will be a nightmare for other emulators to implement, especially for FPGAs.

However, I'm personally not up for the challenge at the moment. Bilinear filtering looks particularly easy to bring back, so I might start with that.
