SNESAmp v2.99

posted in Media News by grammarian on Apr 24th, 2003

After a long time, the incredible SPC plugin for Winamp, SNESAmp, has been updated! The new version, v2.99, sports a long list of updates, which are as follows:

Improved the snapping algorithm (the control and tag editor dialogs will dock to any Winamp window)
Control dialog doesn't automatically gain the focus when it becomes visible
Control dialog tries to work with transparency plug-ins
Tag editor and control dialog remember their absolute screen positions
Added ability to save the mixing level in the tag
Added ability to disable the echo in the configuration
Changed output threshold to +/-3.00dB
Added version information to LRM's and improved LRM detection and loading (LRM's from previous versions of SNESAmp won't get loaded and crash)
Fixed another return value error in the message handler (titlebar text scrolls)
Visualization works with 32-bit samples
Sometimes the mixing level in the config was displayed incorrectly
Forgot to save the date in the tag
Tag editor doesn't crash when the date is corrupted
Forgot to apply the mute flags from the tag
Fixed the time calculation so the buttons in the tag editor get the correct time when a song's speed has been adjusted via the control dialog
Fixing a mixing level problem when auto attenuation was turned off SNESAPU.DLL v0.98
Added micro ramping to the channel volumes in the 32-bit sample routine (reduces zipper effects and pops in some songs)
Added a 17-bit clamp to the sample decompression (fixes Hiouden, but the wind in CT isn't quite right)
Added linear interpolation to the FIR filter (fixes some songs that turned to noise)
ENVX always gets updated, regardless of ADSR/GAIN flag (fixes Clue)
Added code to the speed hack to try and isolate small polling loops (fixes the tempo problems some games were having)
Changed the loader code, again, to copy extra RAM from the correct place (fixes incorrect sounds in Tales of Phantasia)
Fixed a lame bug when clearing the in-ports (fixes Dragon Quest songs stopping half way through)
