The latest version of archeide's awesome SNES emulator for the Nintendo DS has finally seen the light of day. This latest version of SNEmulDS, version 0.4 final, contains a series of bug fixes that should help improve game compatibility and stability. Archeide's also added a few new features such as options saved in save states, background Layer selector, and hinge support.

Here's the changelog for this release:

* Fixed ROM paging, this should improve stability of large ROMs (especially DKC2)
* Some CPU instructions were bugged because of the way SNEmulDS write in I/O ports, this should also improve stability (ie Crash before first boss in Zelda)
* Fixed a bug that made Chrono Trigger freeze during battles
* Changed the way emulator detect blank screen (Street Fighter Turbo, RTYPE3, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest now works)
* Fixed some bugs with SRAM memory, which unlock most ROM protections (Uniracer, Bust-a-move, … now boot)
* Now sound core doesn’t randomly crash when using line by line engine
* Better reset of sound core, some games now run correctly when they are launched after another game (ie Super Bomberman >2)
* Save states also save options
* Added background layer selector. You can again enable/disable backgrounds.
* Added hinge support. If you close you DS, emulation is stopped and SRAM is saved.
* SRAM is now automatically saved before loading another ROM
