Here is what i think:

• Save/Load states is something reaaally important
• Widescreen is possible?
• Select multiple sprites at the same time
• Custom Layers for Sprites
• Full Cube/Cube is going to get improved?,sometimes when i play Megaman for example,some blocks get a "hole" when in FC/C
• Turn Shadow Off in the background sprites or the sprites or your choice
• Sprites that render some kinda of light
• Mouse wheel moves tiles forward and back in space.
  
• Command to send all tiles to back (fresh slate)
  
• Anti-Aliasing and FXAA ?
• A new pattern that turn some sprites in something like a Ball made of pixels? (without holes like V-Cylinder and H-Cylinder)
• Possibility to turn Shadows off without putting Graphics on Low

I'd like the sound volume to save between sessions. When I Twitch stream, I have the volume set to nearly zero, but if I close and re-open, the volume is back to max, and the audience gets an earful.

Conversely, I'd like NOT to have the background depth get saved, or at the very least, I'd like a way to easily restore the default background depth.

Please change "advance frame" to only advance one frame instead of two. Sometimes sprites or object phenomena occur on a single-frame basis. Or at least have a checkbox so switch that hotkey between 1 and 2 frame advancement.

Also, can you allow us to press Tab to change from "Depth" to "Z scale" in the editing menu? That would be a nice feature.

Lastly, can the "Depth" and "ZScale" fields be widened so that I can see more than two characters? When I type in 0.25, I can only see 0.2.

How about a version of cube wrap that leaves the top and bottom of the object as "char" type? Or one that leaves left/right side as "char" type?

First off, thank you very much for this new emulator experience. It has breathed new life into these old classics. The real impressive part to me is how well the program is able to guess alot of the layout on it's own.

I have a lot to say so forgive me if I ramble a little.

More shapes:

I think a lot of users would agree that this is an area that needs expansion. What you have is a good start, but more variety would be welcome. Spheres, pyramids, half-shapes like half-cylinders or half-spheres.

Custom Shapes:

Even better than more shapes would be custom shapes. An editor to create or add your own shapes would allow better customization for games using less traditional side-on views.

Z Position:

We already have Z depth and Z scale, but it would also be nice to be able to set Z position, as well. The layer system kind of already handles this, but having just a front and back layer can feel too restrictive. Sometimes it can be difficult to get HUD elements to not be obstructed by level or character sprites. I don't know how big of a value would be needed. 0-255? Would 256 levels of depth be enough?

Sprite Groups:

While the emulator does a good job of grouping up sprites that belong together, it can sometimes make mistakes. The delete tool can help, but even that doesn't work, or causes more problems. Some examples are in Bionic Commando, some text sprites in the demo screen would get attached to a background sprite and deleting did nothing to help. In Spelunker, when trying to group the ground tiles together, every time I deleted some, it would effect others that I already fixed that I didn't select. Also Punch-Out is a good example since it has such large character sprites. Editing can give strange results because of the way the emulator decides to group them together.

I don't know how difficult it would be to implement, but a way to control what sprites are grouped together would be very helpful. Even being able to see how the program decides what is grouped together or what sprites are associated with each other would be nice. That way when you are editing, you know what will be affected by any changes you make. Of course that only works for whatever you can currently see on screen...

That's about all I have for requests for now. One other thing I noticed is that when setting objects to the background layer, setting their depth only seems to make it the depth go further back into the background. For example, if I have 2 objects set to the background layer, one with a depth of 8, the other with a depth of 32, the front face of both objects will be on the same plane and only the backs will be different - 8 and 32 respectively. Shouldn't it be the other way around so that the front of the objects stick out from the background at different depths? I can get that effect by fiddling with depth and Z scale, but it just seems overly complicated.

Another thing, like some others people have commented before, I thought it would be cool to have a sprite sheet option so that we could edit sprites directly from them. But then I realized why that is not possible. Take Super Mario Bros. for example. A classic bit of trivia and clever programming is how they used the bush sprites as cloud sprites or vice versa. You couldn't edit that one sprites values since it is used as 2 different objects unless you don't mind them appearing exactly the same.

Lastly, I would like to know what plans you have for expanding this emulator yourself. What is your vision for it beyond what it currently is?

After spending some time editing, I thought of a new feature that would be helpful. It would be cool to have some sort of palette with different presets you could apply to the currently selected sprite. You could set all of the values for the setting (depth, scale, layer, and pattern), and then give that setting an appropriate name, like Text, Background, Pick-up, or Enemy. Then whenever you come across a sprite that should have those settings, you just press the right button and they get applied.

This would help when editing animations. Each time the animation changes to a new frame, sometimes all of the settings will change as well. Then you have to go through and adjust each setting by hand again, hit the Adjust button, and then do it again for the next frame.

It would also help when editing large sprites that are made up of separate groups or game with complex backgrounds that you want to have a consistent feel.

Finally, an undo button would be nice. It drives me crazy when I accidentally hit Delete. That might just be me though.

Suggestions / Bug List for Future Reference:

Hotkey Suggestions

Missing and Mangled Characters (Shadowgate) / Mass Shape Selection

Sprite Grouping / Delete Key Function

ZOffset

Game Genie Support? / Save States

Missing Walls and Floors Bug (Blaster Master)

Masking Sprites in Certain Instances. Is it Possible?

Disappearing Sprites/Layers (Double Dragon II)

Suggested Mapper Addons:

- Mapper 232 for Codemaster Games like Quattro Adventure and Adventures of Dizzy

- Mapper 8 for A Boy and His Blob

You had mentioned that it would be easier for people to keep track of suggestions in this thread, so I put links to all of our discussions here.

- Save states(which would increase community participation)

- Higher emulation compatibility(there's a bunch of games that 3dnes still can't emulate)

Being able to give different settings to objects that are the same, like giving 2 different settings to two goombas in SMB3.

the new first view person feature is pretty cool, but for now not very useful. A fantastic thing thing to add would be the ability to tether the camera to a sprite/object. just find the coordinates to any given sprite/object, and in real time match the coordinates of the camera to the given sprite/object. Also allow the ability to make any sprite/object transparent in first person, as they could get in the way of the camera in some games.

also, the ability to make all sprites/objects render sideways for top down games ( ie. Legend of zelda) would also be a nice addition as well ( assuming that it would be easy to change the formula for making games 3d.)

Is there any way you could add a way to get a hi def screen shot?

I know this might be a pipe dream (or very least a long ways away) but it would be amazing if there was a mode where you could editing objects by selecting individual pixels (as many as needed). Theory being, we could have finer control over sprites. Example, a building sprite object has a triangle roof and a portion of the blue sky is part of the object. You could select the blue pixels to "delete" them from the object, giving you just the house.
