[azoreseuropa]

snapshot only worked on gba roms..not nds roms..not yet. Make sure you read the changelog to see any improvement before you want to ask any questions. ;)

[pikablu0530]

I tested Pokemon Dash and you can see that the 3-D Pikachu is now rendered properly :) very well done!!!!

[azoreseuropa]

most 3-D games are improvement but it is not 100 percent 3-D yet...Tom and Jerry is almost 3-D perfectly but some are missing on Tom's face. :P

Super Mario 64 (v1.1) (U)

3-D is showing at last!

Look at the Princess -- what a mess a little bit and no texts on the letter yet.

Look at them...they are in 3-D model perfectly but in the background is black so that's okay and it is a start!

There are lighting problems sometimes and it will be fixed in the next version from the developer told me about that.
