<h2>bsnes Usage Documentation</h2><br>
|
|
|
|
bsnes is a Super Nintendo / Super Famicom emulator that strives to provide the
|
|
most faithful hardware emulation possible. It focuses on accuracy and clean
|
|
code, rather than speed and special features. It is meant as a reference
|
|
emulator to document how the underlying hardware works. It is thus very useful
|
|
for development and research. And while it can be used for general purpose
|
|
gaming, it will require significantly more powerful hardware than a typical
|
|
emulator.
|

|
<h3>Modes of Operation</h3><br>
|
|
|
|
bsnes is capable of running both in its default multi-user mode, as well as in
|
|
single-user mode.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
In multi-user mode, configuration data is stored inside the user's home
|
|
directory. On Windows, this is located at "%APPDATA%/.bsnes". On other operating
|
|
systems, this is located at "~/.bsnes".
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
To enable single-user mode, create a blank "bsnes.cfg" file inside the same
|
|
folder as the bsnes executable. bsnes will then use this file to store
|
|
configuration data.

<h3>Supported Filetypes</h3><br>
|
|
|
|
<b>SFC:</b> SNES cartridge — ROM image.<br>
|
|
<b>BS:</b> Satellaview BS-X flash cartridge — EEPROM image.<br>
|
|
<b>ST:</b> Sufami Turbo cartridge — ROM image.<br>
|
|
<b>SRM, PSR:</b> non-volatile memory, often used to save game data — (P)SRAM image.<br>
|
|
<b>RTC:</b> real-time clock non-volatile memory.<br>
|
|
<b>UPS:</b> patch data, used to dynamically modify cartridge of same base filename upon load.<br>
|
|
<b>CHT:</b> plain-text list of "Game Genie" / "Pro Action Replay" codes.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Known Limitations</h3><br>
|
|
|
|
<b>Satellaview BS-X emulation:</b> this hardware is only partially supported.
|
|
This is mostly because the satellite network it used (St. GIGA) has been shut
|
|
down. Access to this network would be required to properly reverse engineer much
|
|
of the hardware. Working around this would require game-specific hacks, which
|
|
are contrary to the design goals of this emulator. As a result, most BS-X
|
|
software will not function correctly.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
<b>Netplay:</b> internet multiplay is not currently supported nor planned.
