pSNES: Portable Snes9x

The main goals of this snes9x port are:

  • have a basic but user friendly user interface on non windows devices
  • use a recent rendering interface for speed and effects support
  • cross-platform and code portability
  • easy updates of snes9x core (no modifications to the original sources)

Currently supported devices

  • Linux (sdl1, sdl2)
  • Nintendo Switch (libnx, sdl2)
  • Sony Ps Vita (vitasdk, vita2d)

Capabilities

  • Support save states
  • Support cheats (put a "rom_name.cht" file with game genie codes in cheat folder)
  • Support 2x, 3x, fit, fit 4/3 and fullscreen hardware linear scaling
  • Support software filtering (tv2x, smooth, supereagle, 2xsai...)
  • Support titles, previews, and icons images (png), named as the rom name with png extension instead zip/sfc, in their respective directory (to be created if needed).
  • Support database file for rom handling. You'll need a "db.xml" file located alongside the application. The current "db.xml" file comes from dat-o-matic, and contains a complete "no-intro" romset. Your rom files must be zipped and named as per this set (http://datomatic.no-intro.org). You can enable/disable this option from the option menu (restart required).
