OpenEmu VS bsnes-hd

Tangentially related: if anybody is looking for a good way to organize a library of retro emulators and games on their MacOS laptops/desktop computers then I recommend OpenEmu. It is designed from the ground up to look and feel like a Mac app.

Just follow the link i posted. Btw you can build OpenEmu in a couple of minutes yourself. Some controllers (PS5 for example) are natively supported, more shader options, and other small stuff..

Download Openemu 2.0.9.1 https://github.com/OpenEmu/OpenEmu/releases/tag/v2.0.9.1

As far as I know, devs have no plans to allow multiple bindings to the same inputs. It is apparently too complicated for them to implement. See: https://github.com/OpenEmu/OpenEmu/issues/4600

The Pocket is a great device, highly recommended, get the Dock if you want to buy one. While waiting, I recommend using https://openemu.org/ on your Mac to run "roms", which are files that represent old games. To get the ROMs, google for "tubrografx roms archive.org". Then for a controller on a Mac, you can use a PS4/PS5 or Xbox (One/Series), if you have one lying around. That said, I recommend buying an SN30 Pro.

Download and Install OpenEmu

Huh? Try http://openemu.org/ and download the experimental version (with arcade support)

Yeah should be pretty easy if you have the ISO or a disc copy, OpenEmu should do it without issue - https://openemu.org

Otherwise you can try OpenEmu: it's a very Mac friendly emulator of a lot of old systems that works by dragging/dropping the roms in it. The "Experimental" (direct link) build includes support of Mame, which means support of Neo Geo roms.

Just to clarify I'm using Bsnes HD from here. And the widescreen patch from here.

Checked back and there are no automated ARM builds for the cores. You'll have to build it yourself. If you do and it requires changes, please report those back to the project so I can merge them. https://github.com/DerKoun/bsnes-hd If you need help, feel free to ask, preferably on the bsnes-hd Discord. I hope we can get it working on ARM Linux.

I want this in OpenEmu ASAP. How do we make this happen?

Another alternative is BSNES, well, not really, BSNES is based on an old version of Higan that isn't as accurate, what's really recommended is BSNES HD, which does exactly what its name implies

Super Metroid Aka Metroid 3 is Snes only, and honestly at this point in time best played on a Snes Emulator, it takes place right after the ending of Metroid 2 and Samus Returns, Bsnes or BsnesHD are your best bets of playing the game, the latter takes more CPU, but looks a little better

DerKoun has added soft-patch to RetroArch core bsnes-hd beta 10.6 and the Widescreen 0.2.1 version is the one available in asm. The most recent v0.3 can be obtained here: https://github.com/DerKoun/bsnes-hd/tree/master/pack/gamefixes

For other games you can darken the widescreen areas by setting "WideScreen Marker" to "darken". You can also change the amount of darkening or separate the widescreen area with lines. You can try "Sprites" "clip" along with that to see if you prefer it. All 3 settings are documented here: https://github.com/DerKoun/bsnes-hd#ws-marker-widescreen-marker

Install from auto updater (on Android if it crashes download core form GitHub). Get gamefixes ZIP form GitHub. Read ReadMe file, rename files correctly. Enjoy. https://github.com/DerKoun/bsnes-hd/releases Let me know if you need further help or join the Discord. https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/nlqelb/bsneshd_beta_105_bsnes_1143_hd_mode_7_and/
