[Beta] Super Mario World Port

[eyeliner]

Good job!
Waiting for the parts to install the PicoFly arrive is even harder...

Hopefully in the future we get an option to use the updated Luigi and Bowser sprites that were added in Super Mario All Stars + World.

yeah the sky is the limit, on the zelda3 you can replace the hero supereasy.

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

Emulation always introduce input lag.

The idea of this projects is not emulate but run as a native application, so no lag, no slow FPS, etc.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Is it just stretched or does it actually show more of the game on screen?

as far I can see you see more of the game, there is some type of side scrolling when you get the sides.

I don't have a switch folder in
smw/src/platform

All I have in here is win32

This is definitely stretched and not true widescreen.
The Zelda 3 port has true widescreen even if it doesn't always work great.

For me i did build it using the pr and works great, the folder switch will shown only when you commit the pr.

Forgive me but what does "PR" mean?

https://www.gitkraken.com/learn/git/tutorials/what-is-a-pull-request-in-git

example:
there's a bug in Firefox, you investigate and fix the bug, and submit a PR to Firefox.
Firefox team looks through it, tests it, approves it and then the fix is part of Firefox

Next question is how do I get the data from the PR?

On my Windows PC, on the MSYS environment with DevKitPro installed I do use the next commands:

pacman -Syu --needed --noconfirm git make pkg-config switch-dev switch-sdl2 switch-tools
cd ~
git clone --recursive https://github.com/snesrev/smw
cd ~/smw
cp "C:\ROMS\smw.sfc" ~/smw/
git fetch origin pull/3/head
git checkout -b pr3 FETCH_HEAD
cd ~/smw/src/platform/switch
make -j$(nproc)

I have the ROM on my PC on the folder C:\ROMS\ you need the original ROM to run the build.

and note the git fetch and git checkout commands, they commit the PR #3 which in this case is the Switch support pending to be approved on the repo.
