The Windows port of RockNES has been updated with this BIG release:
DirectX8 is needed
The way RockNES X and the RockNES core interacts has been completely rewritten
Input Control partially rewritten (major joystick bugs fixed)
Sound Engine rewritten: the output quality is better and the lag has gone away :)
Added 48kHz support to the Sound Engine
Sound Device selection fixed
The audio buffer size can be configured now
Scanline support rewritten. This new version is MUCH faster
Now it is possible to toggle between Windowed and Full Screen Mode while playing (F11 key)
3D Hardware Support added (of course using bilinear filtering!)
Font Engine Optimized and partially rewritten, to support the 3D mode
Frameskip support removed (due to the RockNES emulation core requirements)
The Screenshot system has been improved and also supports the 3D mode
The GUI has been improved (lot of bugs removed, things added/removed)
The Folders dialog now has the "look subfolders" option
The .dat (the RockNES X config file) format has changed, to support more options and future format updates
Netplay mode (support for TCP/IP, serial port, IPX and modem2modem). Remote savestate loading is also supported
Several bug fixes
Error handling HEAVILY improved
Zip support added (finally! :))
In sync with the latest RockNES source (1.9x). It is really a lot of things to describe here.
