ZsnexBox 1.9

What’s New:

-Added option to map Controller 1 and 2 to Controller 3 and 4 (only available after a game is started)

-Added various ROM browser filename display options:
   Full (displays the entire filename)
   No Extension (displays the entire filename without the extension)
   Name only (displays the filename without the extension or the (U), (J), (!), (V1.0), etc…)

 -Fixed the High Resolution screenshot saving. It was generating a few lines of garbage at the top of the image.

-Added a “Turbo Settings” menu. Turbo can be turned on/off for all controllers. The buttons available are:
   SNES button A
   SNES button B
   SNES button X
   SNES button Y
   SNES button Left
   SNES button Right

-Added option to change how many times per second the turbo is used. The choices are 60 or 30. Some games (like Mortal Kombat 2) will require changing this.

-Added GUI Options menu

-The following values can be changed:
  File Color (Choices are White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow)
  File Selection Color (Choices are White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow)
  Full name Color (Choices are White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow)
  Folder Color (Choices are White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow)
  Menu Color (Choices are White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow)
  Menu Selection Color (Choices are White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow)
  Font Size (14 – 30)
  Display the number of games found (On/Off)
  Menu Vertical Spacing
  Japanese Box art Adjust
  Screenshot Preview Adjust

-Made the default GUI font bigger

-Increased the vertical spacing in the option menus

-Added option to show available memory. If you are using very large screenshots (greater than 500K) or replace the GUI files with large images, this will come in handy. If there is not at least ~16 MB of free memory before you start the first game, ZsnexBox will crash.

-Various GUI tweaks

Notes:

The Font size is primarily for HD users. However, 480i/480p users can also adjust it. Values between 14-19 seem to work well for all screens

I have implemented a dynamic preview adjust option. The screenshot preview can be moved/resized anywhere on the screen. The user can make it small, stretched, big, and position it anywhere on the ROM browser. This also applies to Japanese boxart. You do not have to do anything special in naming or placing Japanese boxart. Simply name the boxart image to match your ROM and ZsnexBox will display it correctly.

I will add more color options if people want them for the GUI text. If you want a specific color please post it in this thread like this:

Color name: Sky Blue
Red = 0
Green = 128
Blue = 255

These values/colors can be determined using any paint program (like MS paint)

Installation Notes:

You MUST delete your previous ZsnexBox.ini if upgrading.

The default.xbe is patched to make it retail. If this causes a problem for you then delete the default.xbe and rename the default_unpatched.bak to default.xbe.

Hmm, when I launch this xbe (either the retail patched one, or the non-patched version) from XBMC (my dash), I get scrambled graphics. I remember this happening with a few older XPort releases.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I am assuming you are using an HD kit. Open up the ZsnexBox.ini and change the HDMode to 1 (for 720p) or 2 (for 1080i).

What resolutions did NTSC snes games run in? I'm trying to set the screen size, but it just seems wrong all the time. Is there any diffrence in resolution between NTSC and PAL60? I'm really crappy at this =)

EDIT: Btw. Great release. Thanks!

Does this still use the folder /00000000 in the /TDATA directory?

If you want a more accurate aspect ratio, resize the screen when not running a game and align the red borders with the edge of the screen.

Ummm, I'm not having any previews display for me....  I have them in the usual previews folder from before (haven't updated since 1.4 or something rediculous) which doesn't work and also tried copying a few to the media folder which also didn't work.  Is there somewhere new I need to be putting them?

Any plans for supporting mp3 for the bg music?
