Anyone able to get bsnes-hd core working on RG503?
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.
- RT64 Announced - N64 emulation plugin that supports Ray-Traced lighting, object motion blur, widescreen, DLSS, and 60+ fps. Also coming for OoT and SM64 PC ports.
- Please can anyone advise on how to enable Widescreen hacks on DuckStation, M64 FZ Plus and Dolphin MMJR, please? I have no idea how to for Duckstation or M64 Plus FZ and none of the AR Gecko codes I've tried for MMJR seem to work. Are there are any comprehensive guides on this?

Final Fantasy VI pixel remaster launches February 2022
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

Metroid Dread (+ Yuzu/Ryujinx Emus for PC, MULTi10) [FitGirl Repack]
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

bsnes-hd beta 10.6 (bsnes 114.3) [HD Mode 7 and widescreen SNES] setting overrides, soft-patching, preparations for widescreen patch
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
