Homebrew SNES9x for Old 3DS

[RupeeClock]

I suppose it's been asked a couple of times, but I was wondering if there would be any possible SNES Mouse or SNES Super Scope support in the future?

I think it would be doable, the SNES Super Scope has three buttons and a switch, the fire button, the cursor button, the pause button, and the turbo switch.
On any 3DS, something like tap to fire, L to use cursor, and d-pad to switch turbo would probably work.
New 3DS could have the luxury of using ZL to do something else, like if you wanted to fire with L whilst only using the touch screen to aim, and ZL acts as the cursor button.
Of course that would be a left handed setup, right handed is needed too.
The main issue then being that the emulator menu is normally opened with the touch screen, so you'd need something else.

Somehow I don't think mouse or super scope is going to be a thing. It'd be a very convoluted thing for just a handful of games. That said, BattleClash or Metal Combat would be fun on the go.

Fully agree with this. SuperScope and Mouse support would be incredible, especially for games like Yoshi Safari and Mario Vs Wario, a couple of lesser-known gems.

Hello can you help me how to remove 3d from the emulator that the 3d slider will damage me it does not matter if it is down the next with the 3d activated there is some way to remove it thank you sorry with my english i am spanish.

I don't know if i understood what you said, but i assume that your 3D slider is broken so you don't have a way to disable the 3D, is that what you mean?

This is beyond awesome. Keep up the good work!

Looking forward to the ability to play all the major titles at full speed on my 2DS.

What are the advantages to save SRAM to SD regularly ?
I don't understand what is interesting with this setting as we have different slots to save in real time.

Well, some of us prefer the authenticness of using SRAMs instead of save-states.

And only games that write to SRAM frequently will trigger the emulator to save the SRAM to SD frequently. Most games will only write SRAM when you actually save the game; and that's when the emulator will detect the change and write the change to your SD Card.

But some games use SRAM as work RAM for game logic, so it gets written into very often. But the emulator can't tell the difference between writing into the SRAM for game logic, or purely for saving, so it writes to SD Card.

It shouldn't be any problem, because you can easily disable auto SRAM saving from the options.

Sounds like your 3DS slider is really broken. I'm going a little slow with this emulator for a while, so it'll be a few weeks before I make any updates. In the meantime, you can consider using the v0.80 versions. It doesn't have the 3D enabled.

Fully agree with this. SuperScope and Mouse support would be incredible, especially for games like Yoshi Safari and Mario Vs Wario, a couple of lesser-known gems.

As @mkq9999 pointed out, mouse/superscope support is not really in my plans.

I feel like it'd be a missed opportunity given the 3DS has a touch screen, it would help make the emulator more complete so I hope you consider it in the future.

What would the touch screen be used for???

A virtual mouse/super scope cursor.

The emulator was never about being "complete", rather making SNES emulation viable on officially unsupported hardware. Function over form was the goal here, right?

Possible to allow .zip files to be used instead of unzipped .sfc roms?

Someone needs to make a GBA emulator using this method so I can play Metroid Fusion on my old 3ds.

You can already do that. Ambassador VC injections let you play (most) GBA games flawlessly.

What titles don't work? I'd assume only stuff like Boktai that needs a solar sensor wouldn't work.

What do you mean "this method"? The systems are entirely different on a technical level.

 

[djalmafreestyler]

any improve on DBZ:super butoden 2 ? serious graphic problems on split screen

greetings

Strange, I played weeks ago and was fine. Any specific area or something?

Some games need ROM-specific patching to get them working- SRAM patching for some games that don't save properly, RTC patching for games that include a real-time clock feature (Pokémon, etc).

To properly emulate a system, the host system will have to be many times more powerful. As a rough gauge, the host should be something between 50-100 times more powerful (in terms of raw clock speed). I'm just throwing a figure here; it's not always true, but it's a ballpark that will tell you whether it's even worth thinking about it. The old 3DS is running at 266 MHz, 16 times more powerful than a GBA that runs at 16 MHz, so I probably won't even try.

As of now, either using VC or retroarch's GPSP (which recompiles the GBA code on the fly) are your best bets. Personally, I feel VC injection will be much better. That said, if you really need good compatibility emulation, probably mGBA on a new 3DS will work better.

Bubble any chance you are gonna work on a New3ds only gba Emu? :o
