bSNES core updated to v94

Maister · 15 January 2017 03:33

I’ve updated bSNES core to v94 along with new SET_SUBSYSTEM_INFO API. The internal bSNES API was changed alot (again …), so please report regressions.

When I try to boot Super Mario Land on Super GameBoy, I get nothing but a black screen.

I’m having trouble with the new subsystem functionality as well. I can load neither SGB nor BS-X games. I get a different error tha nthe previous poster, though. For SGB, assuming I’m specifyin gthe options correctly, I get the following. There’s a slight pause after “[Memory]: ID 6, Request “”.” before it loads the rest.

Both retroarch and bsnes-libretro were compiled from the git master on 7/6/14. Anything I can do/try to fix/workaround this?

Thanks.

Listen, I need to load a Super Game Boy game using the command line and I am using Ubuntu. How the heck could you load anything from the command line?! Can anyone show me how to do just that?

askot · 15 January 2017 05:13

type “retroarch --help” in command line that can help you

fuzzbop · 15 January 2017 05:25

Has anyone managed to get the msu1 stuff to launch through RA?

For example: http://www.retrocollect.com/News/super-nintendo-classic-legend-of-zelda-link-to-the-past-gets-unofficial-cd-audio-a-fmv-video-update.html

I have messed around with it for a little while and haven’t gotten anywhere.

There is an IPS with the original file, make sure to prepatch your ROM, and then rename it to program.rom
