Ported from the original core developed by srg320 (Patreon). Latest upstream available at https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/SNES_MiSTer.
Please report any issues encountered to this repo. Most likely any problems are a result of my port, not the original core. Issues will be upstreamed as necessary.
NOTE: ROM files must not contain a SMC header. If a ROM isn't loading and you think it should, check if it has a header with a tool like Advanced SNES ROM Utility and remove it if so.
ROMs should be placed in /Assets/snes/common
PAL ROMs should boot, but there may be timing issues as the core currently doesn't properly support PAL (proper support coming soon).
Core supports four players/controllers via the Analogue Dock. To enable four player mode, turn on "Use Multitap" setting.
The currently supported expansion chips are SA-1 (Super Mario RPG), Super FX (GSU-1/2; Star Fox), DSP (Super Mario Kart), and CX4 (Mega Man X 2). Additional chip support will come in the future once several new firmware features are released.
NOTE: The S-DD1 chip was dropped in release 0.2.0 due to sizing and popularity issues. Support will resume in a future release. In the meantime, you can use this hack to remove the S-DD1 requirement.
The Analogue Pocket framework doesn't currently allow for customizing video modes directly, so if you dislike the default 8:7 aspect ratio/want to change to 4:3, you can change it by modifying Cores/agg23.SNES/video.json and rearranging the config objects.
Proper PAL support also requires editing these files to have an expanded vertical pixel height.
There are several options provided for selecting which type of controller the core will emulate.
Gamepad- The standard SNES controller used with most games.Super Scope- The Super Scope lightgun that's used with most lightgun games. See Lightguns for more details.Justifier- The Justifier lightgun that's used with Lethal Enforcers. See Lightguns for more details.Mouse- The SNES mouse that's used with Mario Paint and several other games. See SNES Mouse for more details.
Core supports virtual lightguns by selecting the "Super Scope" or "Justifier" options under "Controller Options". Most lightgun games user the Super Scope but Lethal Enforcers uses the Justifier. The crosshair can be controlled with the D-Pad or left joystick, using the A button to fire and the B button to reload. D-Pad aim sensitivity can be adjusted with the "D-Pad Aim Speed" setting.
NOTE: Joystick support for aiming only appears to work when a controller is paired over Bluetooth and not connected to the Analogue Dock directly by USB.
Core supports a virtual SNES mouse by selecting "Mouse" under "Controller Options". The mouse can be moved with the D-Pad or left joystick and left and right clicks can be performed by pressing the A and B buttons respectively. Mouse D-Pad movement sensitivity can be adjusted with the "D-Pad Aim Speed" setting.
NOTE: The dock firmware doesn't currently support a USB mouse.
