- Savestate and Battery save support

YES, this is what has been keeping me from downloading the other GBA/GBC emulator only because I love using save state to save in the middle of a battle when I need to go somewhere and then get straight into it again when I get back.

Thanks so much for your hard work guys much appreciated! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Read the readme link. The author explains why he did the port.

Yes there is. I wasn't aware that once something was done it couldn't be attempted by another developer. In any case, the readme explains why I ported it.

In the end the choice is yours on which emulator to play.

Sound is a bit dodgy, & scaling needs some work, too, but great work. I'm lovin' it

Also, if you press 'B' when it asks you to log in, it presents you with the option to 'Exit' and 'Genesis360 Login'... this is not Genesis360

*edit* scaling looks much better with the filter on... so do the gfx in general, actually. Can't wait for the next release!
*edit 2* Can we get an emu that doesn't need to have a user signed in to a profile? I can play any real xbox game without a profile, and I can sign out as soon as I'm playing a game, so really, wtf? What gives on the supposed "forced profile" actions?

I have been testing this all afternoon and it works great.
I'm using this version over LoveMHZ version simply because it does not crash when using large complete romsets.

My one gripe .....On the menu screen :
Could you implement a option that when you press Right on the D Pad that it jumps to the next letter in the list. Scrolling through 25 GB of Roms to find the game i want to play takes forever but if i could jump alphabetically i could reduce the time spent looking.

Keep up the good work.

Sound in which roms?

As for the profile. Its used to store favorites and settings, so its not going to change. Having said that, source code has been provided so feel free to build your own versions.

left shoulder will also add the selected rom to your favorites list. Then select 'Favorites' from the main menu.

 Sorry, I had the wrong emu loaded (blond moment). Everything seems awesome so far in this one! Graphics don't look too shabby in 1080p, either.

 There are some issues with sound in terms of slowdown, bad sampling, too perhaps. Tested with Final Fantasy VI
