DrNach is the one who decided on keeping externals out of the trunk/branch tree's , and I agree with him on keeping dependencies out of them,
if you have a problem, take it up with him and be sure you have a compelling argument
The argument is invalid for source tarballs because
1. we don't provide recent ones 90% of the time.
2. those who do provide them include them.
3. anyone dumb enough to distribute one without the required externs inclluded needs a head examination
4. FEX can be disabled, its not required if it is unwanted.
5. a wget type tool can be executed from the cmake script to pull any required externals that aren't included in the tarball.

ALL: Revert r1037:1041. Fix build.

FEX is not a common oss library thus it is not packaged by open source operating system distributors. That means if we ever want VBA-M to be packaged in OS distributions, we need to embed it in our main source tree, since fex is a dependency.
The "dependencies" folder is outside of our main source tree thus it cant be used when building from a source tarball (for packaging).
zlib and SFML from the "dependencies" folder are only used when building the win32 port. All the other ports only use system libraries.
Having FEX somewhere within the "trunk" folder is REQUIRED for packaging, moving it elsewhere is NOT AN OPTION. Please live with it.

This should really be obvious to most, but for those its not, we won't be supporting or accepting bugs for builds of VBA-M that aren't built by the reporter or obtained from the official project page.

We cannot ensure the integrity of such builds, in that they've been built properly with the correct MSVC version and settings and that they have not been infected with malware.

Kindly give it up.

Your bullshit accounts are usually detected and banned before you even get a chance to use them.

If they do manage to make a post, they are usually removed and banned by one of our frequenting moderators before google has a chance to cache the crap in its spider.

Further, every account you make just has its full details entered on the stop forum spam database.

There are legitimate users within the 122.164.*.* and 122.174.*.* ranges and it would really be no detriment to us to ban them along with you.

Kindly,
VBA-M Administration

Our downloads section had to be disabled some time back because MKPortal was uploading the files to users incorrectly. We've also had some bugs present on the forum in regards to downloads.

I've rewritten the appropriate code within MKPortal and MyBB to send files to users properly. Not only do downloads work correctly now, they can also be handled by download managers, and resumed if the download got interrupted. You might also notice an improved download rate when downloading files.

Now our downloads section is back, and we will continue to post new VBA-M builds there.

if I had a drum roll I would use it now, but this is as good as it get's

Introducing a whole new vba-m release using a brand new interface using WxWidgets, special thanks to darktjm for coding the interface code and donating it to our use, this will allow for a more universal/cross platform interface for all operating systems

currently though win32 and linux releases will be made available (not that I personally don't like macs because I do like them, I just don't have one to compile a release for you guys :/)

today though I'll be releasing the first binary for windows users
some stuff worth noting for this first binary is that ffmpeg is statically linked as well as cairo graphics, which will be subject to change in future builds to help reduce executable bloat.

to download this release is here

also please note, there will be bound to be bugs in this release
some notable is save states both loading and saving will cause the emulator to crash occasionally but saving via games save feature seems to be working.
In short, if you are going to be reporting bugs, be detailed about it, what you were trying to do, operating system, anything less than detailed will be ignored.

With the closure of Xtemu in the coming days, i have moved the guides and download information to here, please post any issues and feedback in the XBCD board.

Merry Christmas to all visitors, members and users of VBA-M, Have a happy and safe holiday and good luck in the new year.

since some of us have moved over to using VS2010, not to mention the improved intrinsics and better code gen SSE optimisations (2008 was buggy in this regard), future builds of VBA-M for Windows may require the Visual C+ 2010 x86 runtime.

If/when this change takes place, the readme.mfc will be updated with the VC10 download links.

The current developers' activity is quite low. We need more developers. If you have some experience, don't hesitate to help us. Even small changes in form of patches are appreciated, as long as they improve the overall code quality and readability.

You are especially of value for this project if you are able to help improve this software in the following fields:

• Nullsoft Scriptable Install System
• General Purpose GPU computing
• Multi-Core CPU development
• ARM emulation
• GB/GBA development (for ex. with devKitPro)
  

I did not expect otherwise anyhow

SVN886:
Settings are now stored in "C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\VBA-M" for Vista. XP has a simliar structure.
File associations now work on a per-user basis with Vista and UAC enabled.

EDIT:
I just uploaded SVN888 to SourceForge.
I'd like to know if my current build environment breaks anything:
Windows 7 RTM x64
Visual C++ 2008 SP1
Windows 7 SDK RTM x64
DirectX SDK March 2009
OpenAL 1.1 SDK (ver 3.05)
NASM 2.07
