Yeah, yeah, we know it's been quite a while since Archeide last updated his SNES emulator for the DS, SNEmulDS. But as the old adage goes, good things come to those who wait. And with the alpha release of v0.4, in store for avid users are good things indeed!

But before we get to that, let us remind you that you'll have to patch this v0.4 Alpha release with your DLDI driver because SNES games are loaded from SNES directory. Alrighty then, what can you look forward to in this release?

Changelog:

* Implemented MODE 7

* Implemented MODE 3,4 (256 colors)
* Now SNEmulDS uses devkitpro 20 and libfat library from chishm with DLDI support, for better compatibility
* Improved ROM paging, reducing bugs for Large ROMs (> 3 Mo)
* Fixed memory leaks (And consequently, fixed famous “Unsupported Large LoRom” bug)
* Three level of speed hacks : no speed hacks, medium speed hacks, full speed hacks. Each level give various compatibility and speed enhancements.
