Emulation News 035: Updates for 4-28-11

Here we have the updates for today. Be sure to check them out as usual and leave any comments if possible. Thank you for visiting!

SSNES v0.4.1

"- XML cheat support. Supports cheats with same format as bSNES uses. (Mightymo's database). Badly needs on-screen fonts to scroll through cheats and stuff
This means that SSNES supports everything libsnes does, as far as I know (except for RAM monitoring, which is pretty much useless for SSNES' purpose I suppose).
- SDL video driver. Not recommended for modern OSes, but is reported to work quite well on legacy systems (Win9x).
- Forced 16-bit colors support. Can force 16-bit colors for OpenGL and SDL drivers (see legacy systems).
- Input handling in GUI is slightly improved for multiple controllers. The GUI is now more verbose on which joypad is used for which player.
- Added a new -D/--detach flag for Win32 users. Using this flag will disable the ugly DOS console window when launching SSNES from a launcher. (SSNES-Phoenix does this automatically.)
- Windowed scaling factor now respects the aspect ratio setting, rather than assuming a hardcoded 4:3 factor. (Width = aspect_ratio * scale_x * 224, Height = scale_y * 224)."

RomVault v1.6.4

"Turns out there where still some problems with the file copy/move code across drives. So 1.6.4 should now fixed this.
(What does this mean.?)
It means you can now right click on the ToSort directory (in the Dat tree) and set it to a location on a different drive, and things should all keep working. "
