DreamSNES is OFFICIALLY ALIVE! ("Interview" with P

Quote taken from a RELIABLE source (Snes9x forums),edited and corrected by me:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S-DD1 chip (de)compression completely emulated,NO graphics packs needed! That fast? Unbelievable...

"Peter Bortas: Great things happen while I'm away.
Congratulations and good work,Andreas! And thanks. Not having to load the Graphics packs helps those of us with a target machine with only 16MiB of RAM. :-)
Thanks also to the other developers who helped reverse-engineer it."

That means: You'll see Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Star Ocean running on your "poor ol' white dream box" with no problems.

Just read this and cross your fingers,because the wait will pay off big time!
If you don't bitch and shut your holes up,you'll get a nice surprise soon :)

...that's when Snes9x 1.42 comes out,so stay tuned till then.

I wonder how the new snes9x build will help the overall performance of DS.

Snes9x progress so far compared to 1.39a:

C4 chip emulation fixed a bit
Nearly all sprite,transparency and priority bugs eliminated
ROM color code detection system added
Fixed Mode7 and DSP-1 emulation a bit
Legend finally has sound,so all supported games now have sound
SuperScope,Justifier and mouse games control and aiming are near-perfect
A bit faster,by removing unnecessary hacks,dead code and a bit of optimization
More games supported
More stable
Better and faster sound engine
Sound core generating sound at 32kHz REAL SNES samplerate now
S-DD1 games will not require graphics packs
Overall much more accurate emulation
I find it better than ZSNES for now

Welll.... they'll probably still be using the old CPU core or an updated version of it, and not the CPU core from the new SNES9x. This is because they already took the time to rewrite it in SH4 asm. BUT, the sound and graphics could see some small improvement. More importantly, they could have already rewritten some of those parts too, for all we know. Regardless, it sounds like compatibility will increase without the need for graphics packs. That is definetely cool, because graphics packs vary in size and some are going to just be too big. Who knows what improvements may crop up? I hope we don't have to wait too long.

I might include a special surprise in it when it is released

Alexvrb · Post by **Alexvrb** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 1:38 am

I hate surprises. But I still hate adelphia more, so you're off the hook... this time...

Woah, didn't expect to hear this, lol. I really hope Panic Bomber will work with the next release, and Panel De Pon wont get that annoying copyright screen, and not let you play. Oh yeah, I hope they noticed that annoying flash that keeps happening in Seiken Detsetsu 3....

Sample rate of 33kh is not going to help speed.

FlashPV · Post by **FlashPV** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 8:17 am

This sample rate is for the PC version. It should be lowered for the DC. I'll be happy with a near full speed emulator and a 11 Kh sound

Ian Micheal · Post by **Ian Micheal** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 9:33 am

Yeah it would help to have that setting at lest not like its hard to code in snesstation has that function with out lowing the sound sample rate it runs almost like dreamsnes.

Good things happen to those who wait.

I once waited for some thing good . Never happened. Then i stoped saying that.

Atlest some new games will work. thats cool

That fantastic reversing work only says to me that those guys are really skilled to do THE perfect snes emulator for the dc.
Perhaps not for the next version but sure it's going to happen.
Great news

The person (or people) that reversed the S-DD1 chip aren't part of the DreamSNES team.

Anyway, nice to hear they're still alive and working on.

When I say the sound is much better,I mean it will sound BETTER at the same 11 or 22kHz DreamSNES is using now.
Panic Bomber will be fixed.
Panel De Pon and Tetris Attack will be playable again.
Seiken Densetsu 3's bugs will be gone forever...

nakamichi · Post by **nakamichi** » Thu Aug 21, 2003 1:46 pm

And there is even a newer version of the sound core from Anti-Res that is even faster and better-sounding that's going to replace the OLD Anti-Res sound engine.
And they plan to add the Gaussian/Cubic sound interpolation in a next release of Snes9x,so finally it will sound "SOFT" like a real SNES.For now,the sound is still "rough","scratchy".
