Great work ! It would be nice however, if there would be an option to configure the emulator's control keys. I.e: the "exit" key.
I also noticed that sometimes I don't get a stable image, even with vsync enabled. It's easily viewable, as an example, in super mario bros. If you run fast to the right, there is some image tearing.

Are you getting tearing in fullscreen, or just in windowed? (Windows has never supported vsync in a window.)

Is already in my "TO DO" list.

Yes I get tearing in fullscreen. But only in games with fast scrolling. I.e. Super Mario Bros.

Nice to hear that :wink: In fact I do own a Nvidia Gtx 660 ti videocard. I've also tried to force vsync and triple buffering via the Nvidia control panel, but had no luck.

By the way, here are my system specs: Core2duo 8500. 4.0 GHz, 8gb 1066 MHz ddr2 ram, Nvidia Gtx 660 ti

I don't know if it's an problem with my pc, but could someone try it too please ? Just start Super Mario Bros (US versión) and try to run with the "B" button hold down (acceleration button) all along the first level.

I've been using puNES since version .68 and it has always worked great. I just upgraded from .78 to .82 and it doesn't seem to work for me. The SDL version simply closes when I load a game and the D3D version hangs and the process has to be killed. Neither give any indication of what happened in the event log. I've tried multiple settings and deleting my config and starting from scratch with no luck. I'm using the x64 versions. Anyone else experienced this?

Maybe there's some mismatch in your config files.
Try to use Punes in the portable mode. Just rename punes32.exe to punes32_p.exe or punes64.exe to punes64_p.exe if you have the x64 version.

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately it still crashes.

Tomorrow I will contact you via private message, now I'm too tired, I can not even think clearly.

In version 0.90 or in 1.00 add cheat support (Taken from: Nestopia or FCEUX).

Rewritten and cleaned up the code for the management of shaders (including some shaders like Phosphor).
With compressed roms the Game Genie did not work. Fixed.
With the portable version, if you tried to load a compressed rom, the emulator could crash. Fixed.

Thanks for your continuing work on this. I have the following suggestions: 1) "pause emulation when inactive" / "run in background" option; 2) ability to load external palette files. The current PAL palette may be accurate, but it's really bland / washed out compared to what I see on my PAL TV; 3) support for more mappers. For example, 200-in-1-Elfland dump currently seems unsupported; 4) in Windows XP keyboard input works fine only if English is set as a "default input language". When Russian is set as a "default input language" I can successfully assign "A" and "B" to alphabetical keyboard buttons (they appear as Latin, not Cyrillic, characters in your "Standard Pad setup" window, which is OK) and play a game, but, no matter what I do, when starting puNES again, these buttons are not saved and appear unassigned.
