Vitor Vilela, a Brazilian Super Nintendo hacker also known for his FastROM projects that speed up classic Super Nintendo titles, has officially released a widescreen hack for the landmark Super Nintendo title Super Mario World. This hack renders the entire game as it should look normally, but expanded to fit the widescreen resolution that's standard today. Currently, it only supports 16:9 and 16:10 monitor resolutions, but more additions are planned, such as support for 2:1 or the 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratios. As of right now, a patched ROM will only be compatible with the bsnes-hd emulator.

Twitter user @fraencko shared some images of the game running on a widescreen monitor that can be seen below.

What would be cool now is if someone figures out a way to put hi-res graphic mods onto these roms.
Similar to texture packs for newer emulators. This is probably not gonna be a big focus as a lot of people like to look at pixels for retro games. And it’s probably going to be tricky to figure it out.

but I would absolutely love to play Mario kart mode-7 widescreen with HD sprite replacements.

It's really cool to see Brazilians shining in the retrogamer scene, first the MegaMan X ports for the Sega Genesis and Sonic 1 for the SNES and now this, it's really pretty cool to see.
