    Dangit I was excited for a new release... then slowly realized I already had that version installed. Anyways, thanks for the heads up.

    Broseph Snes9x 1.58 released:

    - Move the LICENSE file to the base directory and use a stub in all the source files referring to it.
    - Adjust Chou Aniki timing hack.
    - Use 1-based numbering when displaying pressed keys.
    - Hide controller port if disabled when displaying keys.
    - Fix movie playback.

    libretro:
    - Fix interlaced modes when overscan crop is enabled.
    - Allow overriding -flto. (orbea)

    GTK+:
    - Use shared snes_ntsc implementation.
    - Remove extra LGPL licensing to avoid confusion.
    - Don't translate config file entries. Fixes breakage on non-C languages.
    - Fix issue where config file doesn't contain all configurable entries.
    - Remove config options for Netplay, Joystick, and JMA. SDL 2.0 is now mandatory.
    - Updated gettext and removed intltool. update-po should now catch all translatable strings.
    - If available, reduce input lag option will now use fences instead of glFinish to prevent hogging the CPU.
    - Onscreen text can be variable width and will show up in some more cases now.

    Win32:
    - Add audio device selection (XAudio2 only)
    Broseph Amazing work BearOso and everyone who worked on this.

    He fixed a bunch of things with save state inconsistencies to fix runahead in libretro, which he was also responsible for.

    I'll have to test with SNES Blackthorne to see if it behave like it did in 1.56 with runahead on.

    With the 1.56 libretro core, there's a weird behavior that happens in the game when runahead is on (1 frame ahead); whenever you walk left or right the entire screen pause and when you release left/right then it resume back to normal. I assume something in the game has some kind of next frame reaction that causes this but normally whenever this happen you just see a 1 frame jump instead of the whole screen pausing and unpausing.

    Of course, the easy fix is to just turn runahead off (which is why things like Retroarch are so useful because everything can be configured on a per game basis) as runahead is highly game-dependent.

    Anyways, great work again.
    DonJon hm, I think I remember mudlord. Well at least he's actually contributing something. Great Snes9x release!

    Not surprised to see mudlord involved with a hack.

    Yep, the advanced interpolation tables came from him. The hacks are optional, though. They're mostly for libretro and they're explicitly labeled so as to know they're hacky. The GTK+ port hides them behind a configure flag, and Win32 doesn't even expose them.

    I don't have so much a problem with hacks like this as long as it's made obvious that they will break things or isn't how it's supposed to sound. If people want to try to alleviate slowdown or flicker or clean up the audio, it's fine. I'm just frustrated when people want things to act like zsnes. I don't care if that's how you remember it because you didn't have a SNES and pirated games in the late '90s. It's like a remnant of the 1337 h4ck3r self-aggrandizement from back then.

    And hey! Dwedit! Haven't seen him in a long time!

    I made some big changes on the GTK+ side that were basically side-effects of me having fun playing with Wayland.

    Snes9x 1.57 has been released. Changes include a big update to the libretro port, several accuracy fixes, a few new features, and some deprecations.

    Support for xml HLSL shaders in the Windows port and xml GLSL shaders in the GTK+ port has been removed. We recommend downloading and using shaders from the libretro repository at https://github.com/libretro/glsl-shaders instead.

    For those packaging the GTK+ port, note that building with GTK+ 3 is now highly recommended over GTK+ 2 and should have no regressions. Also note that Wayland compatibility is implemented, which, if enabled, also requires GTK+ to have been compiled with Wayland support. The configuration file format for this port has changed to a simple .ini-style that can be edited by hand and is saved as snes9x.conf, keeping with the other ports' convention, in the user's config directory. This will cause any changes to settings made with previous versions to be reset to default. Frame-skipping options have also been simplified to remove never-used "fixed" rate settings and to simplify interaction with dynamic rate control and sound sync.
