bsnes v061 beta released2010-03-07
Please keep in mind that bsnes v060 remains the current stable release. v061
has been released as a work-in-progress build. As such, it is only available at
Google Code.
I am releasing this WIP to allow the public to test out and comment on the
new XML mapping system, as well as the integration of mightymo's cheat code
database into the cheat editor. I would greatly appreciate feedback on these
two on the forums.
There are some important issues with this release. The biggest is the move to
C++0x. This requires GCC 4.4.0 or newer to compile, thus it is not currently
possible to build this on OS X using Xcode. Nor would it be possible on certain
BSDs or older distros. If you have an older compiler, please stick with v060, or
use a binary release where available.
Another issue is that TDM/GCC 4.4.1 for Windows crashes with an internal
compiler error when attempting to generate a profile for the DSP-1 module. This
is a bug in the compiler, and not in the code itself. The workaround is to
simply omit profile-guided optimization for this one object.
Lastly, there's also a known bug in the memory mapping. If you load an SA-1
game, SuperFX games will not load properly afterward unless you restart the
emulator. I'm looking into the cause now, but it didn't seem serious enough to
hold up a WIP release.
So, yes. If you want a good gaming experience that's been fully tested and
stable, please stick with v060. If you want to see some bleeding edge features,
I'd appreciate feedback on v061. Thanks for reading this.

bsnes v061.01 beta released 2010-03-08
Found the cause of the issue breaking SuperFX games after loading SA-1 games. Seems the XML mapping tree wasn't being cleared. It's also not a good idea to use bsnes/ as the folder name when the Makefile generates a binary by the same name in the same directory, so back to src/ for the main emulator it is.
With those fixes, this release should be fully stable; but again my intentions are to keep v060 as the stable release for a while.
