A new version of the Super Nintendo emulator bsnes has been released. Here are the major changes in version 0.108 according to the author:
This release brings in a 25% speed increase, optional frameskipping during fast forward (allowing an additional 33% max frame rate), official HD mode 7 support, SameBoy integration for 60% faster and more accurate Super Game Boy emulation, software filter support (snes_ntsc, HQ2x, Eagle, scanlines, etc), the return of mightymo's integrated cheat code database, cheat search support, movie recording and playback support, rewind support, cubic audio interpolation, 7-zip decompression support, ExLoROM board mapping support, adaptive sync support for OpenGL, and greatly improved macOS support. And if that's not enough, there's also true pixel-perfect ZSNES snow effect emulation ... seriously!
You can download the new version from the bsnes (https://www.emulator-zone.com/snes/bsnes) page. On this page you'll also find two new download links: the link for Nightly builds (with as-of-yet unreleased features) and the HD-mod, which improves graphics of "mode 7" games like F-Zero and Mario Kart. One of the Nightly builds (about SNES CPU overclocking) was featured in this Ars Technica article (https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/08/blast-processing-in-2019-how-an-snes-emulator-solved-overclocking/), while the HD-mod of bsnes was featured in an older Ars Technica (https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/04/hd-emulation-mod-makes-mode-7-snes-games-look-like-new/) article.
