Snes9x Euphoria R5 Beta 3 Has been released today for the general public
So you can download this version today and test!. Feedback is greatly appreciated, please leave bug reports etc at www.retroemu.com.

New Features & Fixes since the last public release (which was R4) :

[*] Fixed control/input issue from Beta 2.
[*] Small code optimizations.
[+] Other minor changes.
[+] Rom loading time decreased (ie games boot faster)
[*] Reverted Background back to R4 (ie no neoflash)
[*] Corrected tons of incorrect assumptions I made that affected graphical quality without gaining anything in return.
[+] Improved Math implementation (small speedup)
[+] Tons of code optimization (small speedup)
[*] More stability - Seems to be a lot more stable
[+] Mario All Stars Works Again.

So please can you guys test this and report back?

I would also like to know if any new games work with this build. Or if any get broken as a result.

Recommended settings :

For games that allow it (ie don't suffer huge graphical glitches) I would recommend this for full speed :

Render : Fast
Frameskip 3
Sound (11025) although having it at 44000 doesn't seem to affect speed much or at all.

For games that have graphical glitches ingame (when using the FAST renderer) that make them unplayable such as (mario kart) ..
I recommend the following settings :

Render : Fast + Accur.
Frameskip 3
Sound (11025) although having it at 44000 doesn't seem to affect speed much or at all.

Speed differences in games with R5 Beta 3 compared with R4 (from reports & my own testing) :

Chrono Trigger : Runs at 60fps with frameskip 0
Kirby's Superstar : Runs at 48>56fps (generally at 50fps) with frameskip 3
Mario RPG : Runs at 60fps with frameskip 0.
Final Fantasy Games seem to run at a constant 60fps with frameskip 1
All Donkey Kong Games : 60fps with frameskip 1>2
Mortal Kombat 1>3 60fps
Secret Of Mana 60fps
Super Metriod 60fps framekip 2 (use Fast + Approx renderer)

Thanks for feedback! And sorry for the HUGE timeframe between this and the previous release

promoted release to cms pages, couldnt upload either, kept getting errors

Thanks Wraggs.

Uploading isn't working at emutalk.net either so i presume it's a server error of some kind.

Added it to the download section which is to be our preferred way of storing files over just posting directly to the forums. We're trying to tweak the download system (among many other things) to allow coders to directly load it to the download section in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience Zack, a lot of the new stuff on the site is still be tweaked as you can probably see.

Just as a heads-up:

Using a PSP 3001 Piano Black edition:

6.20 firmware, it works signed and unsigned. However, signed STILL needs TN-C HEN in order to run (you can't just run it from the XMB unless you want to see it crash back to XMB after loading). So don't waste your time.
6.35 firmware using Pro HEN, it loads the emulator, but when you load a game, the emulator will hang. If there's been a new version of Pro HEN released, I'll gladly retry it.

This is what has been missing from my PSP Go! All I need now is PSPComic, or does anyone know if it is signed and working? I wish mlnapp_proxy.prx would get cracked so we could use Sony's Comics app.

Using a 3001 with new 6.35 Pro-A and it still hangs when a rom is loaded. Bummer
