- bsnes: reset all thread clocks on power cycle
- bsnes: use uint64 instead of uint128 for scheduler clocks
- bsnes: use float instead of double for audio resampling
- bsnes: begin work of integrating SameBoy (incomplete; needs
additional features)
byuu says:
- converted (u)int(8,16,32,64) from Natural/Integer<T> to
(u)int(8,16,32,64)_t types
- SFC: mostly rewritten WDC65816 CPU core
- removed 487KiB of code! (unused CPU cores from other higan cores)
byuu says:
- bsnes: allow video filtering even when the emulator is paused
- bsnes: improve overscan masking, especially with HD mode 7
- bsnes: improve snow support, especially with HD mode 7
- bsnes: replace real-time cheat code replace with per-frame replace
(ala Pro Action Replay, Snes9X)
- bsnes: treat the latter step() half of CPU::read() calls as idle
cycles
- bsnes: templatize step() where possible (not always practical)
- bsnes: removed Natural<T> templates from key portions of the fast
PPU renderer
- bsnes: dethreaded peripherals (controllers and expansion port
devices)
- bsnes: above optimizations result in a ~20-25% speedup over v107.4
with no accuracy loss
Note that light guns aren't going to work for now, I'll have to fix them
before we can release v108.

- bsnes: added video filters from bsnes v082
- bsnes: added ZSNES snow effect option when games paused or unloaded
(no, I'm not joking)
- bsnes: added 7-zip support (LZMA 19.00 SDK)
[Recent higan WIPs have also mentioned bsnes changes, although the higan code
no longer includes the bsnes code. These changes include:
- higan, bsnes: added EXLOROM, EXLOROM-RAM, EXHIROM mappings
- higan, bsnes: focus the viewport after leaving fullscreen exclusive
mode
- bsnes: re-added mightymo's cheat code database
- bsnes: improved make install rules for the game and cheat code
databases
- bsnes: delayed construction of hiro::Window objects to properly show
bsnes window icons

Changes: HD mode 7 supersampling support, HD mode 7 mosaic disable option,
various HD mode 7 bugfixes, default waveOut audio latency to 128 instead of 512,
removed 512x240 hires mode 7 mode.
There's also a small experiment, making this release a beta release as well:
for a large speedup, when in EXTBG mode, I'm bypassing rendering BG1 for a
performance boost. EXTBG is only used as a priority layer, and is overwritten by
BG2 except in one extremely pathological case.
