controller is configured by default with this emulator, specially useful
for shooters like Smash TV and Total Carnage.

Choose between "Default (All Enabled)", "Home / C-Stick Left", or
the universal button combo "Start+B+A / Start+1+2".

Pressing B / 1 will now Go Back from all menus and some sub-menus.
* Satellaview BIOS ON-OFF (thanks Tanooki16!)
In RX, it was changed and adapted to be intuitive and easy to use.
Enable or disable BS-X Satellaview BIOS boot through:
"Settings -> Menu" or "Game Settings -> Emulator Hacks".
[5.3.0 - September 28, 2022]
* Upgraded Satellaview (BS-X) engine to latest Snes9x to date.
This furthers up the game compatibility, by making use of the Satellaview
BIOS. Though the file is optional, you'll want to use it for titles that
make exclusive use of its functions. Some of the titles now playable are:
- BS Fire Emblem: Akaneia Saga (Episodes 1 to 4)
- Chou Aniki - Bakuretsu Rantou Hen
- Konae-chan no Dokidoki Penguin Kazoku Event-ban
And a lot of the digital magazines available that were distributed through
the Satellite's service can be read in its original language now,
as the BIOS embedded font is mostly used for these.
Check the instructions on where to place the BIOS file by reading the new
Satellaview section, in the
readme.
* MSU-1 refinements.
* Fix for compiling error.
* Updates for the Spanish language.
* Other tweaks.
Notes:

* Special
Mad Catz SE FightStick for Xbox 360 separate build.
[5.2.0 - June 18, 2022]
* SNES CPU overclock setting exposed (thanks Tanooki16!)
Inside the "Video" section, you can now choose three settings to overclock
the virtual SNES CPU, to improve or smooth the framerate in games that
originally struggled (i.e.: cutscenes in Flashback). It may also change the
flow of the game entirely (i.e.: Skulljagger - Revolt of the Westicans).
Experiment with the setting on your favorite games or other uncommon titles
in your library.
* Updates for the Spanish language.
* Other tweaks.
[5.1.0 - June 26, 2022]

You can now swap Left and Right audio channels with a toggle.
* New speeds for Super FX overclocking, Wii U recommended.
Added 80 MHz / 100 MHz / 120 MHz. These will stay hidden on the
Gamecube port's GUI, as the CPU is not powerful enough.
* SNES Hi-Res Mode ON/OFF and Sprite Limit ON/OFF (thanks Tanooki16!)
* Important readme updates.
* Updates for the Spanish language.
* Other tweaks.
[5.0.0 - Abril 22, 2022]

Now nicknamed 50% and 25% for RX, I added the option to select between both,
so you can choose whether you like darker scanlines (old method)
or subtler ones (new method).
* Add A+B+SELECT+START for back to menu on Wiimote controller extensions.
Based on the similar commit by Tantric for Snes9xGX.
* If arguments are passed to the emu to autoboot a game, then the main
menu button should be labelled Exit, and leave the emu instead of going
back to the main menu. Cleanup autoboot code. [Tantric]
* Add support for mapping more than 128KByte SRAM. [cout/qwertymodo]

Based on libsickaxis 1.0 by Xerpi. As of now, it controls the 2-4 players

[4.5.0 - November 22, 2019]
* Xbox 360 wired controller support! (thanks revvv!)
Before loading Snes9x RX, connect your Xbox 360 wired controller. When
you're at the main screen (Choose a game), click on the emulator logo at the
corner of the screen and read the status info at the bottom, just to make
sure it was properly detected. In some cases you won't need to do this,
it will just work. Remember, the controller only works when in-game.
You can swap your player/port number by simply pressing on the
Xbox Guide button. Enjoy!
Right stick is configured as YXBA (essentially duplicating your buttons),
specially useful for Smash TV fans like me =D
* Xbox 360 wired controller code improvements. [revvv]
[4.4.0 - November 07, 2019]
* Fixed Funaki Masakatsu Hybrid Wrestler – Tougi Denshou graphical glitch.

[4.3.0 - August 14, 2019]

* Fix out-of-bounds memory access. [bearoso]
* Working buttons for all SNES peripherals.
Mouse, SuperScope and the Konami's Justifier trigger/buttons never worked in
any other controllers except the GCN pad and Wiimote. Now you can use the
Wii Classic Controller, Wii U Pro Controller and Wii U Gamepad to
fully emulate the peripherals.
Now with experimental wired-DualShock 3 support (thanks to
libsickaxis by xerpi!): connect your DS3 to your Wii's USB port prior to opening the emulator. When in the Snes9x RX's "Choose Game" screen, press Minus and Plus on your Wiimote/Wii U Pro Controller (DS3 led # 1 should lit) after that press the PS button. You should now be able to use it when in-game. Led might turn off but it's okey. Use the special labeled
build.
KNOWN BUGS FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL DUALSHOCK 3 VERSION:
- May crash sometimes when changing games, or when syncing the DS3 if you're in-game, your mileage may vary.
- DS3 input mirrors to all controllers at the same time.
- No menues navigation yet.
[4.2.0 - August 07, 2019]
* Avoid USB call if there's no Retrode. [revvv]

The Retrode 2 cartridge reader offers USB mass storage access for your SNES
cartridges, besides 4 ports for original controllers, more specifically:
two SuperNES and two Genesis gamepads. 2-4 players are supported!
Some notes from revvv:
"- If the Retrode does not react, you just have to restart Snes9x GX.
I never had to restart HBC or the Wii. This happens with my fork, too.
But not very often.
- Doom is a good testcase: My first build had a huge lag, but only with
this game. After polling the Retrode only for player 1, the lag disappeared.
(Doom is a single player game, so it's strange that they poll player 2.)"
[4.0.0 - July 28, 2019]
* Add Wii U GamePad support. [Fix94 - Tantric]
* Allow "Original" render mode to be selectable when using the Wii Options
TV Resolution setting for "EDTV or HDTV (480p)" over component cables:
- This caters specifically to LCD / LED users with 240p supported displays,
since the option was previously hidden. Users with CRT / PVM / BVM displays
with supported 480p Progressive Scan mode will also benefit, since no Wii
setting change will be needed for the "Original" 240p mode to be used.
