pSNES: Portable Snes9x is a SNES emulator, multiplatform port of snes9x emulator.

The main goals of this snes9x port are:

• Have a basic but user friendly user interface on non windows devices
• Use a recent rendering interface for speed and effects support
• Cross-platform and code portability
• Easy updates of snes9x core (no modifications to the original sources)

Features

• Support save states.
• Support cheats (put a "rom_name.cht" file with game genie codes in cheat folder).
• Support 2x, 3x, fit, fit 4/3 and fullscreen hardware linear scaling.
• Support shaders effects.

Installation

Create "/data/psnes" directory on hdd.

Copy roms to "/data/psnes/roms" directory on hdd.

User guide

Gamelists

• "pEMU" emulators use some "gamelist.xml" files to manage your rom files and medias (EmulationStation/Recalbox format). Since version 7.0, the emulator will look inside your roms folders for a "gamelist.xml" file (which can be made with "Skraper" for example). Please note that only the " " and " " media tags are supported, you should configure ""Skraper"" accordingly.

Roms

• You can add as many roms paths as you want in the emulators configuration file ("config.cfg"), and here is the format:

  NAME       SYSTEM    SYSTEM_ID     PATH
  ARCADE = ( "Arcade", "0x12341234", "/roms/fbneo/arcade/" );
  Copy

  Except for pfbneo, "NAME", "SYSTEM" and "SYSTEM_ID" can be anything (but a unique system id is required per path, for example "0x1", "0x2", ...).

Skins

• Default skins are embedded (romfs) in the application. You can overwrite parts of the default theme by creating a folder named "default" in the "skins" directory of the data folder, and adding a "config.cfg.override" ( and/or a "config.cfg.override.43" for 4/3 screens) file. You can also create a new directory with a new name to create a new theme, the default one is a good start to look at. Please note that the theme code/api is subject to change without warning, do not loose too much time on this...
