Beta 7 is up

racoonfrenzy

I noticed there was no formal announcement and no link to the download

Notes from Shea's Blog:

Bug fixes for the controller setup.
Popup window on first startup with hints.
A little bit of speed improvements.
Background sounds.
Speed improvements, uses less RAM and CPU.

When I switched to it, I noticed a lot of SNES games stopped stuttering as mentioned by Shea. Great job guys!

Hi@all,

btw, the exit emulator nes button on beta 7 doesnt work for me. Anyone else problems on that ?

Can you fix that please

mholgatem

@pupsihh - I imagine you are using a joystick or other non-keyboard device? For some reason, when they wrote the emulator, they made it so that certain hotkeys only work with keyboard. I've been searching for source code, so that I can change it. unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a whole lot around.

Im having issues with an i-pac on the snes emulator. Player 2 configuration isn't taking after the controller configuration setup. I remember something about having to run the emulator first before configuring, or am I way off? I have to wait until I get home to give it another shot.

hrmm, your 2 player pisnes should have been merged in. I'll double check on that one.

Your instructions worked perfectly @mholgatem. SNES 2nd player worked immediately. Thanks as always.

@SSilver2k2- That's so weird, because I remember you merging it before beta 6 went out.

Yep works now with @mholgatem fix

Looking forward to trying the updated version! As to the near future, any hope of getting to configure the mame4all controls in a plain text document instead of via the tab menu?

Awesome update menu running smoother and the 2nd player option comes up for each controller to edit

My main issue now is the cheap ipac I'm using doesn't have a good debounce so as soon as I hit a direction with the joystick its still mapping 2-4 controls at once which sucks. Building my little bartop as a test to then make 2 more for family Xmas prezis so they are going to love you guys! So thanks again for all the work ^_^

@Pongo1471 - I added a debounce time to the controller config. It should be available in the next update. Thanks for your input!

Pongo1471

Perfect just waiting for it now thanks mholgatem :D

Iv now built 1 for myself and 2 as Xmas prezis just sorting the details on them now

Also had the debounce issue with 2 usb snes controllers from amazon but they where manageable with just a faster button press

Howdy, Stranger!
