That’s right, Rlyeh has actually released fSMS 😀 with tons of features, namely optimisations over the old private betas, and:

– PNG grabbing support – Scaling modes 1:1 and 1.25:1.25 for SMS / 1:1, 1.5:1.5, 2:1, 2:1.5 and 2:1666 for GG – Added lot of options: autofire, double buffering, vsync, frameskip, gamma correction, etc… – Untested multiplayer support (RF) – Fixed bugs everywhere as usual…

There’s still no PCM sound, but FM is clear overall, thanks to CHN’s sound lib. Rlyeh is now on holidays so this is the last release for a bit :)In addition to all this we have a fast filesystem manager (able to scan 1300 zips per minute), CRC32 ROM naming detection using GoodSMS and GoodGG by Cowering, plus other additions covered in the readme. Grab the file atGP32Emu!
