Anyway, Let it be known that I took a look at the code for these, but...

1) Not ALL co-processors can be sped this way. For example, the Super FX chip (IIRC) is just a second CPU like the original SNES one. In that case, only a Dynarec/JIT would help.

2) One or two COULD indeed be sped up a lot. For example, one of them (used in 3D games) does matrix multiplications. But it would be needed to rewrite the ENTIRE chip emulator to get optimal speedups, and unfortunately I don't like any of the affected games enough to spend the time on it

Really, SnesTYL is already VERY, and I do mean VERY fast. It's easier for users to live with frameskip 1 than for a developer to spend his life squeezing minor speedups from the emulator.

come on bro what about starfox? That is the one game I wanted to see full speed and fullscreen :-(

so when's the release?

No one ever said anything about a release, laxer3a only said they will probably do a final release SOMETIME.

looking forward to it at any rate, it's good enough for me at its current stage though =)

Yeah, and all it said is that Yoyo will be without the internet for a couple of weeks, not big deals.

In either case, whatever happens, I happy they helped out the PSP sceen.

Its ok. the TYL team has always had a lot of time between releases. It may seem that they have given up or are doing very little but YoYoFr doesn't release crap. When an update to TYL is made, its usually big. And if you noticed with the last release (0.4) updates came very quckly after bugs were found and we soon had 0.4.2.

I highly anticipate any and all future releases of Snes9xTYL.
