bsnes emulates the Super Famicom and Super Nintendo consoles,
|
|
|
|
|
including various peripherals,

allowing you to play classic games on a modern general-purpose computer.

The name "bsnes" originally referred to a standalone SNES emulator.
|
|
|
|
|
Later, bsnes added support for other classic game consoles,
|
|
|
|
|
then in v091 it was renamed "higan".
|
|
|
|
|
higan still exists, and still includes SNES emulation,
|
|
|
|
|
but for people who don't want or need all the other emulators,
|
|
|
|
|
as of v107 the SNES emulation is once again
|
|
|
|
|
available on its own as "bsnes".

docs: Review and update docs for v107.
Changes include:
- The "Library" menu was replaced with the "Systems" menu
- The "Settings" menu was reorganised
- Game Boy rumble is now under the MBC5 "controller" for the cartridge "port",
instead of being presented as a part of the base console
- Import instructions now mention that icarus ships with some firmware files,
and describe the "Firmware" directory that icarus will use for firmware
it needs.
- Apparently the correct name is "MSU1", not "MSU-1"
- v107 changes the way MSU1 data is stored in game folders
- PowerFest '94 import instructions removed, since I can't get it to work
with v107
- Links to the official forum have been replaced with links to the unofficial
forum archive, since the official forum is shutting down
- Links to Mercurial Magic updated to point at qwertymodo's archive, since
hex_usr is no longer developing it
- Links to nSide updated, since hex_usr no longer uses GitHub.
- Windows build instructions now describe a compiler that is actually
maintained, instead of stale TDM64-GCC.
- Linux build instructions now mention higan requires SDL 2.0.
- minor wording changes, typos, broken links fixed, etc.
