Ultimatelythe additions to the mercury fork that were so controversial and maligned at the time were implemented into upstream bsnes once it was broken off from the totally accuracy-focused higan, as well.

DerKoun shares with us a special new core called bsnes HD beta. This is a cutting edge version of bsnes that is jam packed with enhancement features! Note that many of these enhancement features, such as the widescreen features, might require specific tweaking and finetuning in order for specific games to display right, and some games might just not display right at all with these enabled, so experiment at your own risk.


This core is already available on our buildbot for Windows, Linux and Android, and should be coming to Switch (libnx) soon as well! Note that all these enhancement features operate on the CPU, so the faster your CPU is, the better the results will be.


Setting to ignore outside window, allowing for widescreen in Terranigma and Final Fantasy III/VI. Please test any other games that had no widescreen for no obvious reason in the previous beta. This fixes Mode 7 widescreen specifically in the mentioned games and results may vary in other ones for Mode 7, other backgrounds and objects.


No matter the amount of options available, some games will likely require manual patches for the best possible widescreen experience. Fortunately, already talented modders are hard at work at tackling some of the games out there that could really benefit from widescreen resolutions.


Just a note on compatibility, the patched ROM worked fine on my soft-modded Wii, so plays well with the SNES pad Wiimote addon, but the patched ROM didn't work with my Everdrive Cart on a real SNES (due to ROM size increase I expect)


i mean as much as i appreciate the shoutout i can't say i entirely agree with the piece's remarks. i mean i love the game to death and all, and working on it for as long as i have has given me a whole new appreciation for its writing, but i'm not entirely sure i'd describe it as "pushing the boundaries of video game storytelling for the time"


Oh wow, just downloaded it, and you have versions for both headered and unheadered roms, that's brilliant! I remember first trying to play FE4 and the rom I had didn't line up with the patch so it was a pain to have to go find the right rom, so it's great having both here as options. Can't wait to play :D


I finally started playing yesterday. My planned pairings are Midir/Aideen, Ayra/Holynn, Beowulf/Raquesis, Lewyn/Erin, Claude/Sylvia, Azel/Taillte, and Dew/Bridget. I did cheat a bit using nightmare(which I've found only works on headered ROMs), making all the first gen units have capped stats and start promoted, because I wanted to get through the first gen ASAP. This did cause none of my units to actually be attacked by the prologue enemies, as they all had defense so high that nothing could damage them except the bosses, but this happens in vanilla FE4 too(this isn't the first time I've hacked the game this way), and I still managed a relatively quick 13 turn clear. I also reduced the price of items so that nothing costs more than 17500(what you get from clearing all 7 arena rounds), so that inventory management is less of a hassle. Aura also got a reduced weight so Dierdre isn't a load, and I reduced its rank to B because I want to try out making Leywn wield it after Dierdre leaves(he has a B rank in light tomes he never gets to use) and I want to see if it will get passed down to Ced. I'm honestly not sure why you have the cheating warning there, as this patch doesn't seem to be affected any differently from Nightmare hacking than any other FE4 ROM. Anyway, I'm off to do chapter 1.


I do have one minor translation nitpick. After Jungby is conquered, Gerrad says "DiMaggio stuffed up, didn't he?". "Stuffed up" is Australian slang that Americans like me end up having to look up, so you may want to change it to something like "messed up", or "screwed up", or something, unless the Verdanites are meant to be Australian?


I'm afraid we simply couldn't get this patch to work in zsnes. We think it might be because of the expansion from 4MiB to 8MiB. I can only suggest switching to an emulator like Snes9x or Higan/bsnes. Sorry.


You may want to have this fact reflected in the OP. I just spent at least half an hour trying different combinations in order to patch the game. Would've been a good heads-up to know ahead of time that it was futile.


Are you pressing start? Unlike most title screens, which will accept any button, you HAVE to press start to go past the title screen. Make sure you're familiar with which keys are assigned to which buttons on your emulator(if you're using one). Start is usually either the enter key or the spacebar for most emulators.


I doubt it. I got mine there too and it works fine. Did you make sure to use the right patch? Assuming you got the same ROM, you should use the patch for unheadered ROMs. Also make sure you aren't using zsnes. Also make sure you've downloaded a Japanese ROM, not a pre-patched English one.


I am completely stumped on this one. I can get the official builds of Higan, Byuus latest BSnes and other versions of BSnes to fullscreen but this one just doesn't want to play nicely. I tried AHK scripts and stuff but nothing worked, I would suggest contacting the devs maintaining this fork and ask them if there is a way or just use one of the other builds.


Well to be perfectly honest this isn't a "Launchbox problem" it's just something that the emulator doesn't allow for, the vast majority of emulators out there either have a command line option or a toggle to set to load in fullscreen. Even Byuus original BSnes and Higan emulators allow for this for most builds and those that don't will allow an AHK script to toggle it "F11".


"Here's bsnes-mcfly v106r10 (based on higan/bsnes v106r51). This version restores the missing --fullscreen command line switch. To run a game in fullscreen, simply run the following command, substituting the game's path:"


For example, my screen is suppose to turn black for around 4-5 secs (time it takes for the emulator to launch/load/ adjust display) in order to have a smoother transition via BigBox but it doesn't work at all

While I think that @avidjaar is a bit harsh on you (but hey, we all have our days off), you must understand that it is much, much better to not bundle several problems in one thread. Not only will it be impossible to mention all of them in the thread title (which will not help in drawing the attention of those you need help from, e.g. I skipped this thread simply because I do not know much about bluetooth, thus missing all the rest). But when several people with several expertise start to post here, the thread will soon become a mess of several discussions at the same time.


I have just came across a website called SNES Party that allows you to play Super Nintendo games with other people online. Of course, the games themselves are not provided, so I assume the website itself is not doing anything illegal - not anymore than, say, Doom 64 EX, at the very least. It seems legit, but I wanted to know if it is any good and especially safe first before starting using it.


I recommend downloading an emulator (bsnes/bsnes-hd) and then downloading a program called parserc, with this program your friends can join to your pc with 0 input lag and no conection problems. I have completed various SNES titles with my friends like this :)


Latency issues can be caused by a variety of things including a lack of fiber, environment, and stress. The laxative offers a classic and timeless solution to this ongoing problem. Check your latency 30 minutes after consuming the laxative! Mine went from 150ms to 13ms.


That is odd. I tried that and it did not work. Not that I really wish it would, as it looks rather impractical, honestly, as I am too used to the ZXCV + Arrow keys scheme myself. I guess I will have to save it for someone who owns a gamepad or something.


I have heard of it, but I have never used it. I want to keep it casual, so having to install and set up so softwares on both ends feels rather overwhelming to me. That is why I found SNES Party so appealing, as it only requires a rom on one end.
