Use the official nintendo SNES emulator from eShop (you can find a lot of snes injection on that chaos site).

There are only two games released so far and they are Super Mario World and F-Zero. To play any other games you would have to inject the rom into an existing VC title. Just search for VC rom injection. Or use the cia of BlargSNES and put the roms directly on your SD card.

zlttp will be released on the 14th.....but there is rom injections on *other* sites, you will probably fins a alttp on the internetz
I rhink blargs is the easyest one since i am not into injections.... cuz lazy, i am at the downloads page in blargs, i readed in the instructions that i need to download the CIA file, however none of these files are marked as CIA, any way to recognize the file?
afaik no version of blarg ever worked properly with alttp, and afaik the latest version doesn't boot it at all (and on the older versions it crashed when using the Pegasus boots), your best bet if you want to avoid rom injections is retroarch, pretty sure blargsnes is pretty much abandoned at this point

I use Blarg all the time. I will have to look and see what version I have. The only issue is games like pilot wing and star fox that use the special graphics chip.
I guess i can always wait for the 14th, and i guess that a CIA files will be created by someone right?
there is almost certainly already a pre-made rom injection
hmmm maybe it received another update after the original dev threw a wobbler and made his own forum, last i remember alttp didn't work fully on any version
Pretty ALttP only works on blargSnes 1.2 and earlier. Either that or you can try out PocketSNES or CatSFC from RetroArch. I guess you could use Nintendo's crappy VC wrapper if you don't like the other options.
Snes can be emulated very well. I use catsfc or pocketsnes from the retroarch package. Advantages over using snes VC would be possibility to use video filters, savestates and allowing the device to go to sleep during emulation. I also don't know of any games that don't work well emulated.
Use 1.3c cia, works pretty well, here:- http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/BlargSnes_Compatibility_List Cheers!

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
