[Beta] Super Mario World Port

[Lywx]

Hey guys! This is a wip project, I made a switch port of the amazing Super Mario World, its still on an early state but its fully playable, compared to my old zelda 3 and super metroid port, this comes with some cool features like support of native recording, a custom background ( Its a PoC ) and in the future im gonna try to add even more stuff!

Wowowow, super thanks!

Btw, is proper & correct wide 16:9 aspect ratio possible, not a stretched one?..

 

[GatoFiestero]

We need a multilang and widescreen feature.

Thanks for the project

 

[MultiKoopa]

neat thank you!

 

[Ligeia]

It's cool project but the wrong ratio / stretched video is a deal breaker for me.

 

[MultiKoopa]

trying to do this on Windows but I have no idea what I'm doing. "dkp-pacman command not found" lmao I suck at this

 

[Doneo]

Nice stuff. The Bsnes core and widesreen patched rom is still the best way to experience the game. If this gets true widescreen and some scaling improvements it could be great.

 

[SNES-Fan]

Nice project. But hey, please no ugly stretching, looks really horrible.

 

[SylverReZ]

Incredible work. Also, don't make the pictures look stretched as somebody said.

 

[Ampersound]

Great homebrew and I personally love everything that fucks with Nintendo at this point.

Commands

git clone --recursive https://github.com/snesrev/sm
(dkp)-pacman -S git switch-dev switch-sdl2 switch-tools
cd sm/src/platform/switch
make -j$(nproc)

hello there, there is a typo, the repo is https://github.com/snesrev/smw you missed last "w"

While this looks interesting, the Switch hardware is more that good enough to run the game in an emulator without problems.

The project is about to run on native hardware instead of emulating, by now the program even compare an emulated rom with the actual result and if differs generate an alert.

I saw the SMW decomp get released on the Snesrev Discord server not that long ago, I was guessing a Switch port was soon to follow.

That didn't take long lmao, great job Lywx.

now pls play in 4:3

that's not the point lmao, plus it is crazy to see the game have INSTANT load times and absolutely no lag (like when there's a handful of sprites on screen) I haven't kept up with SMW stuff in forever but I can only imagine the insane potential this brings to the table for 'ROM hacks' now

Is a 2D 16 bit game, the Nintendo 64 ports are honesty more impressive.

Sure this is cool and that but is not Ship of Harkinian.

It is fixed now on the new builds, sorry i forgot to fix the smw.ini file

Since the source code is available, how likely is it that the game will get real 16:9 widescreen support? I mean not stretched but just, u know, showing more of the level like with those widescreen hacks in bsnes HD?

 

[mathew77]

Agreed!.. Like this:

Exactly one of the goals of the project. Today if you run it you will notice its wide screen.

And on the ini you can setup several modes
