Updated wxCHTDecoder to version 1.3. It fixes the problem of no file filters in the Linux/GTK version. There are also a myriad of minor code changes and a big switch to autoconf for creating the Makefiles. I also removed the Visual Studio makefile as I don't intend to use VC to build my wxWidgets programs anymore.

Updated wxCHTDecoder to version 1.2. It fixes the problem of no console output in Windows. I also added a DLL for Windows which should make it run on Windows 98 (possibly 95 and ME, too).

Added wxCHTDecoder, a C++ version of the ZSNES CHTDecoder program using wxWidgets as a cross-platform GUI toolkit. The CHTDecoder pages have also been restructured now that there are four different versions.

Updated the Super Mario 64 (N64) savestates with all 120 stars. I used Project64 instead of mupen, but I only included save ram (.eep) files so that will not matter. As a bonus, all except the save states with Bowser will be a very small download (under 1 KB) since the eep files are only .5 KB. I did not redo the Bowser save states, but the ending changes only slightly if you have all 120 stars.

Updated the site to be HTML 4.01 compliant. Sorry to the users of good and correctly implemented browsers like Mozilla Firefox. Some of the pages on emuWorks may have looked weird or not have appeared at all, whereas they would have seemed fine to internet explorer users. At the bottom of all pages is a link to the W3C HTML validator which tells you if a page is HTML 4 compliant. I also put up a jEdit image link as I edit this site with jEdit, and jEdit rocks!

Updated the PHP CHTDecoder with some JavaScript form validation checks and minor semantic corrections.

Updated the PHP CHTDecoder so that you can get a text version, too. Very similar to the Java version now. I also updated the interface slightly.
Created the save state submission page.
You can now submit your own save states to emuWorks. The rules are simple. Play through a game making periodic saves at important points. When you are all finished, you can submit your states to us and we will post them. Read the rules and information on the page for more details.

Added PHP CHTDecoder, a PHP version of the Java CHTDecoder program. Outputs to the browser only, not to a text file. It is limited to 5000 codes, but this is only to keep file size down. There is no limit in the Java version.

Added Lufia & the Fortress of Doom (SNES) boss pictures.

Sunday, September 19, 2004

Added zero padded Strings to the Java CHTDecoder. It will now display a the code 0B1F52:0B just like that instead of B1F52:B.

Recoded the site in PHP. It looks mostly the same, but there are a few navigation changes that I think makes things easier. The logo at the top of the page will now take you to the homepage. A few directory names were changed, but I have added Apache rewrite rules so no bookmarks should need changing.
Separated the news into current and 'old'. Put up the first old news page of items added between July 12 and August 14.
Added the legal information page. It can also be reached from the copyright link at the bottom of every page.
