At first, I highly doubt it.
But with time and a few updates, I'm sure that it will have decent to perfect compatibility.

 

I'm fairly certain the emulator will run most standard games at full speed, frame skipping will probably be required for a handful, but the games that require SA-1 & SuperFX I doubt its possible w/o breaking the game. I noticed the Snes9x team has moved towards accuracy opposed to game specific hacks and what not, it might not be a bad idea for the Supercard team to port using a older source code of Snes9x if that is in fact what they are doing for the obvious speed advantage.

 

It is doubtful that it will be able to run MRPG, but only time will tell. I'm praying that i will but no DS emulator for the DS has been able to emulate the chip necessary, but of course we are talkin about the DSTWO team and they are doing phenomenal.

We shall see.

I don't think SA-1 (Mario RPG/Kirby 3 etc...) or SFX1/2 games will be full speed...

As long as every regular games (or just using DSP chip like mario kart/pilotwing) runs fines, it will be ok for me.

 

I wanna play Street Fighter Alpha, Kirby's Dreamland 3, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and Mega Man X - X3 on my DS!

 

any news on Mario RPG on this thing?!?

 

Keep in mind the PSP emulator uses speedhacks (in the snesadvance.dat file) to improve compatibility and make games run faster. Unfortunately, the DSTwo emulator does not have speedhack support. If you were to take the PSP emulator and delete snesadvance.dat then the speed would be similar. Hopefully they can add speedhack support in the next official version as it would probably make even Mario RPG run decently (though not full speed).

 

I think that once speedhacks are supported, we'll get a pretty capable SNES emulator.
So yea.. patience etc etc

 

The problem with the SNES Advance speedhacks is that they were made for SNES Advance, as the name might suggest. Thus, there's no guarantee that the hacks will help the game, and in several cases may actually break the game. Half of the patches there are meant to stop the game from calling out to the SPC engine, which would freeze SNES Advance since it did not emulate sound at all.

Though I am rather proud of having made the Super Mario RPG speedhacks, which required tons of time with the snes9x debugger since the game would not run in SNES Advance or Snezziboy (both of which had much nicer debugging options for my purposes).

That aside, automatic speedhack detection would probably be preferable to having the static snesadvance.dat list. This is what SNEmulDS does, and I feel it's the better approach since it doesn't require people to manually dig deep into every game just to find the one loop causing all the slowdowns.

 

I was starting a list, but I made the topic too early. I think two whole months before the emulator came out, lol.
