TheSuper Nintendo Entertainment System (also known as Super NES, SNES, or Super Nintendo) was a 16-bit video game console. Nintendo released it in Japan in 1990 as the Super Famicom (or SFC for short). They later they released it in North America, Europe, and other territories. The Super Nintendo was the best-selling 16-bit game console of its era, despite a late start and competition from the Sega Genesis.

These days there are many great emulators for the Super Nintendo, and several have high emulation accuracy. Playing and completing games with these emulators should be no problem. If you want accurate emulation, higan is your best choice if your PC is fast enough. If your PC is too slow for it or you want a more friendly UI, try Snes9x. Despite its high ranking on this page, you should skip ZSNES.


Okey, most addons in KODI are based on python code. Which often is the same independent of hardware architecture. Then there is the binary addons, like support for different audio formats, image formats etc.


Ps. Plus with Zacks other repo you get help with archives, bios management and IAGL, Which can download roms, metadata like covers and screenshots from archive.org, to play wthose games with the emulator-cores you have installed in KODI via builbot.


My initial thought, with out checking with Sam, is that emulation is not a core functionality in a MediaCenter optimized operating system. And the build it repo of Zacks gaven been around that long to be obvious(at least not yet).


bsnes/higan is a powerful emulation software that effectively replicates the hardware and gameplay of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Thus allows us to run and play digital copies of the read-only memory chips, popularly known as ROMs on our devices without the need of having an actual SNES Console.


I agree with James, wrong project for an AVR Arduino, but it could be possible with a Due. That assumes you're willing to write a crapload of code. A Raspberry Pi would be a much better choice and it's very similar in size to an Arduino Uno. In fact, there are existing SNES emulators that could be pretty easily compiled to work without you having to write any code at all.


The "official" Due ships with 96k and I assumed he would need to add at least another 32k, but some of the clones are being given more. RasPi is still a significantly better choice but he wanted to use an Arduino


Well you might be able to with more than one Arduino...'maybe' everything except sound...only because I don't know crap about sound on the arduino, and I have been trying to figure out how to put a PC sound headphone jack on my project for MONTHS!!! But with one arduino doing all the Video, and another to offload some other things, like joystick, and well LOTS of other things...just a thought


As for how to emulate a ROM... I found an open-source SNES emulator called "ZSNES" that says it is written in C++, which, if I am not mistaken, can probably be converted to work on Arduino with some effort?


exscuse me for my ignorance. But how coul I let it start, it has no front-end I could use it only by terminal?

I'm writing ssnes-git on a terminal but it says "command not found".

I also installed all the dependecies.


Guess I can bump this now. SSNES has received lots of development over the last half year, and while it's hardly suckless anymore, it has some interesting features.

It is still CLI based, but rather than config.h,mk it uses configuration files. When building, it is possible however to do --disable-configfile which uses config.def.h, which is a static configuration. The build system uses quickbuild, which is a side project that attempts to be a quite slim replacement for dreaded autoconf. It is written in posix sh. While the code base is quite large now compared to last year, it is possible to disable stuff that is not needed.


CPU filters have been reworked, and now loads *.filter files as known from bSNES.

It also supports GPU shaders. bSNES-style XML shaders (GLSL) and Cg shaders are supported. With XML shaders you can do multi-pass shaders and cool stuff like that.


Other interesting features include:

Netplay written from scratch. It's a peer-to-peer implementation. It's not very mature but works quite well.

Playback and recording of bSNES-style *.bsv movies are supported.

Frame-by-frame rewind is also implemented. Think Braid It is possible to rewind during recording of movies too, but this is considered in alpha state (some games break).

libsnes implementations can be loaded dynamically in run-time. It's possible to use both bsnes and snes9x emulation cores.

On-screen font rendering for messages is also implemented. It renders using libfreetype.


Alright, started on a wrapper script that does this. It only supports .zip so far, but shouldn't be too hard to support more. It is in latest git, and is called ssnes-zip.

EDIT: 7z and rar (untested) are covered. Should be every format I've seen in the wild.


I just worked out that it does work as long as there's no square brackets in the filename. When there are square brackets it's unable to match the smc inside the zip even if the filenames do actually match.


Im actually an Emulator author (1964, a N64 emu, my name was Duncan in those days, look it up), i like what you have done, but you now have to deal with people asking about IOS/Andriod ports, and for VR, that may be a challenge, as those of us in the console/emu scene developed for the PC, not VR/IOS/Andriod or else.


The emulator works perfectly as shown in the video. I have just tried it implementing few games from ROM Packs and it does what it does. However, it would be great if I can run it on MAC aswell. Anyway, great contribution.


Yes. But pkunzip also had a small footprint. I implore people to use up to date software, especially since we have emulators now that are cycle accurate and PC's that can run these older systems with absolutely no effort.


I used to use ZSNES way back in the day on an old Pentium 133 MHZ I think it was. I tried it in Linux Mint, but it would lock up after a while. I bought FF6 (FF3 US) full price the day it came out and still go back to it and a few others once in a while. SNES9X was a bit buggy years ago, but it works the best for me now. Somewhere I found a 'snes9x-gtk_1.52-1_amd64.deb' file and that works great for me in Linux.


I re-flashed with a build of Batocera 33 (Link below for you UserUserUsername9000) and this worked for me and DOES launch SNES games and works perfectly. It is worth noting however that even in this version whilst it works I still do NOT have the ability to select my choice of SNES emulator like in other systems.


Atari Do you have a link to the announcement dropping Pi Zero support? Are there instructions how to re-enable Pi Zero support for the SNES or how the build-system in general works? I seem to not be really able to make any sense of it, since from my understanding Pi Zero support for all the emulators seems to be enabled in the current version.


This way the rom tells the aspect ratio, which is 8:7 snes-internally and then gets stretched to 4:3 automatically. And the forced aspect should keep it 4:3 no matter what the aspect of your display is.


Programs that are written in x86 and x64 architecture make use of Dynamic-linked Libraries (DLLs) to offer flexibility and portability during software development. DLLs are basically tiny programs that contain reusable code, resources, and variables. By their nature, they do not have an Entry Point and require a parent executable to invoke them at runtime. If you just have a DLL by itself, you can use something like Rundll32.exe to run the contents of that specific DLL without needing a parent program. Otherwise, functions within your DLL can be called by the parent executable using the LoadLibrary API call to import them into the program dynamically.


In the picture above, the SNES emulator has been placed on the Desktop of my FlareVM host. When the program attempts to load in opengl32.dll, it first checks the current working directory of C:\Users\Husky\Desktop\SNES32bit\. And when it fails to find the specified DLL here, it goes to the SysWOW64 directory and loads in the one that exists there successfully. This SNES emulator is a 32 bit application, so it makes sense that it would check the SysWOW64 for its required DLLs.


Remember, System32 and SysWOW64 have kind of an Iceland/Greenland situation going on. On a standard x64 machine, your 64-bit system directory is System32, and your 32-bit system directory is SysWOW64. Great work with that one, Microsoft.


Anyway, this presents a vulnerability. The program is attempting to load in a DLL from a directory that we can write into. This is because this program has been copied to the Desktop and not installed in a standard program directory, like Program Files.


You might be able to get shellcode execution from a DLL hijack, but the program still needs to resolve the function calls that it wanted to make from the original DLL. And your MSFVenom generated DLL does not know what to do with those requested functions, so calc.exe runs and the program crashes.


The final step is to land the original DLL and the proxy DLL on the target host in the directory of the program. The two DLLs must be in the same directory as each other and the original program.


Emulators for playing older games are immensely popular online, with regular arguments breaking out over which emulator is best for which game. Today we present another point of view from a gentleman who has created the Super Nintendo emulator bsnes. He wants to share his thoughts on the most important part of the emulation experience: accuracy.


So the question becomes: if we can achieve basic compatibility, why care about improving accuracy further when such improvement comes at a great cost in speed? Two reasons: performance and preservation.


First, performance. Let's take the case of Speedy Gonzales. This is an SNES platformer with no save functionality, and it's roughly 2-3 hours long. At first glance, it appears to run fine in any emulator. Yet once you reach stage 6-1, you can quickly spot the difference between an accurate emulator and a fast one: there is a switch, required to complete the level, where the game will deadlock if a rare hardware edge case is not emulated. One can imagine the frustration of instantly losing three hours of progress and being met with an unbeatable game. Unless the software does everything in the exact same way the hardware used to, the game remains broken.
