bsnes source code

A guide to what all these directories are for:

  • Database contains the databases bsnes uses to figure out what circuit board a game expects, and also the database of pre-made game cheats
  • emulator contains the interface that the emulation core in sfc implements
    • It comes from higan v106, which has many emulation cores that all implement the same interface — bsnes only has one, but the interface is still a good abstraction, so it's still here.
  • filter contains classic CPU-based image upscaling filters, like HQ2x and Super Eagle
  • gb contains the SameBoy emulator code used for Super Game Boy emulation
  • heuristics contains the logic that guesses which memory map a particular game expects and what extra hardware it assumes is present, when a game cannot be found in the database
  • Locale contains translation databases that bsnes can use to display its user interface in a different language
  • lzma contains the 7-Zip SDK allowing bsnes to understad .7z archives
  • processor contains all the CPU emulation cores used by the hardware bsnes emulates
    • Another holdover from higan v106, where different supported systems happen to use the same model CPU, so the CPU emulation cores are not specific to a system
  • sfc contains Super Famicom (SNES) emulation code
  • target-bsnes contains the normal bsnes user interface
  • target-libretro implements the "libretro" API on top of bsnes' native emulator API, so bsnes can be used with libretro-based frontends
