Feedback and discussion here --> http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=8741

Information =

New release based on :

LJP Snes module (based on V1.39A of Snes9X).
Some code from first snes9x port on PSP by bifuteki.
unofficial PSPSDK from great ps2dev.org people.

Thanks must goes to :

ps2dev.org community : a wonderful job in a olympic record time !

The original authors of snes9x : You all did more than a great job !
Nem for original discovery that started everything.
All other people supporting us.
Personnal thanks to : smiths, chp, bifuteki.

Important Note about this release :
First, we have decided to release the code of the PREVIOUS version each time we do a
new release. So this version source code will be released once we release the NEXT version.
The reasons are:
People taking our code, add "+alpha nothing" and do not give credit.
If you believe your skills are up to the job, contact us.

Control the versions for a while.
Be able to put a splash screen. (See the reason under)

Second, the emulator will have a splash screen that user MUST read to be able to play the games.
The reason is pretty easy:
Some PSP sites are changing the NFO / ReadMe files to promote OUR stuff as THEIR stuff,
So, untalented people earn money through advertising while people doing the hard work get nothing.
As a result, to make the things clear, our message is embedded and encrypted inside the emulator.

Features:

5 Rendering mode :
Mode0 : Optimized Snes9x,
Mode1 : Original Snes9x
Mode2 : Hardware accelerated (using PSP's GU)
Mode3 : Adaptive rendering Mode 2 + Mode 1 (default)
Mode4 : Adaptive rendering Mode 2 + Mode 0
Yes you read well, this version support nearly all the graphics effects of the Snes accelerated with PSP hardware.
Except : offset mode & mode 7.
Priority and blending are fully emulated.
For the moment a few graphic glitches remain, we did our best for the moment in our knowledge. Please understand.

Zipped ROM support.
IPS patch file (have to be the same name as game with .IPS extension : SOE.ZIP => SOE.IPS)
Compressed Savestate with small screenshot.
Auto save of SRAM on game change, exit & Snes reset so you should never lose them ;-).
Autoskip.
Gamma correction.
VSync support.
SDD1 encrypted roms (Star Ocean, Street Fight Alpha 2,...)
SA1 (slow), SuperFX (slow), C4, DSP1 support.
Multiple sound frequencies : 22Khz, 32Khz, 44Khz.
Multiple stretching mode with or without smoothing
Detailed Battery informations.
222,266 & 333Mhz PSP frequency.
Snapshot based Icon per game. Take a snapshot while ingame (using GUI) & then you'll have it in file browser.

Planned future feature: (please DO NOT READ AS everything in next release !!!)

1/FF6 Game speedup. (found a trick after we released, will be in next release, now run at full speed).
2/Sound Emulation moved to the Media Engine. (hope a 10 to 15% increase in performance.)
3/User friendly Cool menu system with realtime help.
4/Netplay in infrastructure mode and adhoc mode.
5/Optimisation of the CPU core emulation (write a JIT and/or rewrite the CPU emulation part in MIPS asm)
6/Rewrite of the PPU rendering to change from "FLUSH" into one pass frame rendering.
7/Configurable Autofire/Configurable input.
8/Display of Snes PAD to be able to understand which color / button name map the PSP.
9/Optimization of mode7 seems possible.(hope a 10 to 15% increase here too)
10/Increased compatibility with games.
11/Setup profile loader : ability to setup profiles per game.
So many user can send us later their setup and we can gather them in the next release.

12/Some CPU core optimization.

13/Try to optimize battery life as much as possible.

14/SPC Player.
15/Speed hacks (SnesAdvance).
