Here are the release notes by [[Scherzo]]:
In late 2008 (December) [[Christuserloeser]] released an "Unofficial" update to NesterDC SE that makes changes to the main menu and implementation of SE's hidden directory listing ROM browser [http://dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=97683 posted] by Scherzo in August of '08. These changes were done via JavaScript so if the source code is what you are looking for grab 1.0's source below.


''Many questioned me when I decided to work on an emulator, many considered more than adequate. I had two main purposes for the creation of this newest incarnation of NesterDC.

''First, improve compatibility and speed. The release of NesterDC 7.1 brought seemingly fullspeed emuation, but somehow compatibility dropped a couple of notches. Many games no longer worked that were fine in version 6.
'''Features:
*Greatly Improved Compatibility (VS ROMs correctly supported)
*An NSF player
*Controller buttons can be remapped
*Stereo separation of each NES sound channel
*Full screen stretched and pixel-for-pixel video modes
*Game-Genie implementation
*Multiple save state slots (with the first slot being backwards compatible)
*Supports Zipped ROMs
*CD Builder grabs Manual & Cartridge, Game-Genie and more from master list
*Various game related images by which you can use to browse the ROM library
*Favorite Game list
*Ability to enter your own personal notes about a game and save these notes on your VMU


''Second, I wanted to see an emulator that had many useful extras such as screen shots, NSF music, cartridge scans, a favorites list, and more.

[http://dcemulation.org/files/emulators/nesterdcse/NesterDCSE-src_2005-12-24.zip Source Code] - ''This includes the source for the emulator itself, the Dreamscript JS scripting library, and the CD Builder. The CD Builder requires you to have the WxWidgets cross-platform GUI library. It was also designed using VisualWx as the IDE.''


[http://dcemulation.org/files/emulators/nesterdcse/NesterDCSE-KOS-src_2005-12-24.zip KOS Source Code] - ''I had to make a couple tweaks to KOS here and there throughout development. I will eventually spell out what they are, assuming I can remember them all. Basically, trying to compile NesterDC SE with any other version of KOS other than this one will most likely either produce compile errors or might cause the emulator to crash at certain points.''
