Créé par hex_usr (nSide/Lunar Snes), bsnes-mcfly est un port de l’interface graphique Qt de bsnes v073 à higan v106. Cette version est basée sur la dernière version d’Higan (mais ne se concentre que sur la partie Super NES) et ajoute énormément de fonctionnalités.
Dans les versions de développement (et jusqu’à la v106) il était connu sous le nom de « bsnes-classic » dans une tentative de remplacer la fourche d’Awjackson également nommée « bsnes-classic » qui paraissait être abandonnée. Cependant, AWJ a montré que bsnes-classic était encore en vie, par conséquent ce projet a dû être renommé.
L’objectif est en partie de faire arrêter l’utilisation de bsnes 073 et de fork comme bsnes-classic (et plus tard bsnes+) et de tout fusionner dans un seul émulateur combinant à la fois les améliorations des dernières versions d’Higan et en même temps les avantages des anciennes versions de bsnes (notamment l’interface).
On peut se demander si cette version ne serait pas simplement suffisante pour le projet de reprise de bsnes officiel par byuu, nous verrons bien…
This version of the Qt GUI has the following features:
– Compatibility with higan v106, including v106-style gamepaks (cartridge folders)
. Low-level emulation of the HG51BS169 (Cx4) and ARM6 (ST018)
. Newer MSU1 features such as audio resume
– Concatenated firmware in game ROMs, as well as a firmware/ fallback directory.
. No cartridge folders are created within the user’s home directory. It is all handled in memory.
– Database lookup of SNES and Super Famicom cartridges. The database is embedded right into the application along with heuristics for games not in it, so icarus is not required.
– Compressed archives: Zip, GZip, BZip2
. Support for Zip and GZip provided by nall instead of snesreader
. BZip2 support by Rob Landley under the zero-clause BSD license
– Copier extensions: SMC, SWC, FIG, UFO, GD3, GD7, DX2, MGD, MGH, 048, 058, 068, 078, BIN, USA, EUR, JPN, AUS
. All of these extensions are also available for use with BS Memory and Sufami Turbo slot cartridges.
– Optional FuSoYa header (512 bytes at the beginning of the ROM)
– WASAPI and ASIO audio drivers
– Exclusive mode for Direct3D and WASAPI
– Separate directories for save RAM, save states, and other mutable game files
– Turbo buttons
– asciiPad (more advanced turbo switches with Off, Turbo, and Auto settings)
– Simultaneous up/down and left/right (must be enabled in the settings file)
. I needed to use a really evil compilation trick to enable this feature without modifying higan directly.
– IPS, UPS, and BPS soft-patching
. IPS and UPS patches are applied before removing the FuSoYa header, and BPS patches are applied after.
– Movie recording and playback
– Cheats
. Pro Action Replay (AAAAAA:DD, AAAAAADD, AAAAAA/DD)
_ Can omit the address/data separator or use a colon, when higan v106 mandates the use of an equals sign or a slash.
. Game Genie (GGGG-GGGG)
– Cheat search (works only on WRAM at 7e-7f:0000-ffff)
– Software filters
. 2xSaI, Super 2xSaI, Super Eagle
. HQ2x, LQ2x, Scale2x
. Pixellate2x
. blargg’s snes_ntsc
. Phosphor3x (was included in some bsnes v08x versions)
– OpenGL shaders
. Curvature and Edge Detection from higan v092
. HQ2x, Pixellate, Scale2x
. HDR-TV, Watercolor (these were marked “Archive” in bsnes v083 and not restored when bsnes v085 went back to XML from BML)
. Sepia (converted from Direct3D)
– Only 1 copy of nall for the overall project instead of a separate copy each for bsnes, snesfilter, and snesreader
Features missing from bsnes v073:
– Compressed archives: Z (compress), 7z, RAR, JMA
. Most of these have restrictive licenses. Need to think carefully on how to implement them…
– Selecting one of multiple files in a single Zip archive
– snes_ntsc configuration dialog
. Because the palette size was increased from 32768 to 524288, changing a setting causes bsnes to freeze while it recreates the palette. This dialog had to go.
– Binding the Pause/Break key to an input
– Direct3D shaders
. As consolation, the Sepia shader was converted to OpenGL
