Archeide (http://www.snemul.com/ds/?p=24) is back with SNEmulDS 0.5 Alpha, not even a month after the last major release, SNEmulDS 0.4. Changes include a fully rewritten graphics engine, bringing a tremendous increase in graphics quality for games such as Chrono Trigger. Other improvements include faster HDMA, better transparency support, and minor graphical updates.

* New GFX engine that support tile address alteration (For RPG games and others)
* Faster HDMA (Makes games like Chrono Trigger faster)
* Much better line by line engine, which is now the default (Old tile mode is nearly broken in this alpha)
* Better transparency support
* Other GFX updates: Moved sprites 1 pixel down, Background color alteration by scanlines, fixed 16px tiles flip, better mode 5, better scrolling, new squish method…
* Added configuration file support snemul.cfg (no saving support yet in this alpha) that allow specific configuration for each game.
* And Thanks to Lestat for making the nice SNEmulDS Icon!
