SNES emulator has been updated recently. Changes:
- fixed a bug in the save state manager that was allowing saves for unsupported special chips;
- added save state support for SuperFX games;
- added save state support for SA-1 games;
- the "Apply UPS" checkbox actually works now; allows bypassing of patching prior to ROM loading;
- ROM loader will display internal ROM title and header info for uncompressed files ending in ".sfc";
- added Shift JIS to UTF-8 conversion for internal ROM titles;
- "open-folder" concept now requires folders to end in ".sfc" to avoid false positives;
- shrunk all GUI buttons and right-aligned them, as some of them were ridiculously long before;
- rewrote settings and tools windows to be driven via tabs instead of lists; this saves a lot of screen space;
- rewrote input mapping system to use a tree view instead of the confusing combo box hierarchy; hopefully more people will find the user interface GUI hotkey remapping section now;
- added support to map modifiers as individual keys (eg you can map the shift key to the SNES select button);
- rewrote the cheat code editor, it behaves exactly like the state manager now; there are 128 pre-defined slots, and it is easy to clear any or all of them
the cheat file will auto erase itself upon exit if all codes and descriptions have been erased;
- fixed title bar game name ordering; was "bsnes v058 - Game Name", is now "Game Name - bsnes v059"'
- fixed a bug where pressing escape inside the main window's menus would cause the program to quit;
- Windows: worked around QTBUG-7188 to fix the multi-file archive loading dialog; it was not updating properly before;
- Linux: added full-API PulseAudio driver with synchronization and latency control [RedDwarf];
- Linux: fixed a crashing bug involving OpenGL and glXSwapIntervalEXT();
- Linux: X-Video driver texture now resizes dynamically to support > 1024x1024 for any future filters to use;
- Debugger: single-stepping instructions now updates all windows marked to "auto update";
- Debugger: fixed execute breakpoints, they were disassembling at the wrong offset;
- Debugger: S-CPU bus breakpoints now mirror WRAM $7e:0000-1fff to $00-3f|80-bf:0000-1fff;
- Debugger: fixed a rendering issue when stepping through hires games;
- Debugger: added property system; can now view internal register states of all S-CPU and S-PPU registers (S-SMP and S-DSP coming soon);
- Debugger: added CGRAM palette viewer;
- Debugger: added OAM sprite viewer (no graphical output yet);
- Debugger: added options window -- so far only to control output of memory / execution usage tables;
- Debugger: updated usage and memory export file names to start with the loaded cartridge name;
- Source: cleaned Utility class, split some of the functionality out to Cartridge class;
- Source: greatly simplified SNES::Cheat class, SNES::Cartridge class; etc.
