Snes9X 1.39

September 24th, 2001 by Alkini

Version 1.39 of the SNES emulator Snes9X has been released; changes include:

  • 16-bit texture support for OpenGL modes was implemented
  • a hidden novelty OpenGL mode was added
  • Snes9X reverted back to FMod version 3.20 after reports that version 3.33 broke AD3 support
  • implemented a better work-around for the broken select system call in the Linux kernel
  • OpenGL performance should now be close to Glide perfomance, if not better
  • Glide support was (hopefully) fixed
  • the original colour blending code
  • was restored
  • many more games are supported

Snes9X 1.39 source: s9x.linuxc6.139.i386.tar.gz

Thanks goes out to Cort for sending in the news.

    The Snes9X 1.39 source isn’t available yet. The source for 1.37c is available, though. Linked to in the news post is the glibc (libc6) binaries (as indicated by the linuxc6 in the filename). Gary mentioned on snes9x.com that the source “will follow in a day or two.”
