bsnes-plus

bsnes-plus (or bsnes+) is a fork of bsnes (based on bsnes-classic) intended to introduce some new features and improvements, mostly aimed at debugging.

What's new

Improved debugger UI with register editing
Redesigned memory editor and breakpoint editor
Improved handling of address mirroring for breakpoints (extends to the entire address space, not just RAM)
Real-time code and data highlighting in memory editor, with fast searching for known code/data locations and unexplored regions
Cartridge ROM and RAM views in memory editor for mapper-agnostic analysis
Enhanced VRAM, sprite, and tilemap viewing
SA-1 disassembly and debugging
SA-1 bus and BW-RAM viewing and (partial) usage logging
Super FX disassembly and debugging
Super FX bus viewing and usage logging

Non-debugging features:

Satellaview / BS-X support
SPC file dumping
SPC output visualizer (keyboards & peak meters)
IPS and BPS soft patching
Multiple emulation improvements backported from bsnes/higan (mostly via bsnes-classic)

Development builds

Up-to-date development builds are available here (64-bit Windows, compatibility and accuracy profiles).

Building on Windows

Get mingw-w64 (make sure toolchain supports 64-bit builds)
Initialize the bsnes-plus-ext-qt submodule in git
Run mingw32-make

Building on OS X

Currently, OS X is not officially 100% supported. See this fork for now.

Building on Linux / other *nix

As there is no configure step, make sure necessary Qt5/X11 packages are installed. On a Debian/Ubuntu system, it would require a command like:

sudo apt install qt5-default qtbase5-dev-tools libxv-dev libsdl1.2-dev libao-dev libopenal-dev g++

Afterwards, run make and if everything works out correctly you will find the output binary in the out/ directory.

The snesfilter, snesreader, and supergameboy plugins can all be built by running make (or mingw32-make) after you've configured your environment to build bsnes itself. After building, just copy the .dll, .so, or .dylib files into the same directory as bsnes itself.

bsnes v073 and its derivatives are licensed under the GPL v2; see Help > License ... for more information.
