MSU-1 support on higan/bsnes cores?

RetroArch Android devices
#1

Hi guys, I’m new around here, I just discovered RetroArch recently. It’s really awesome to be able to have the ability to play so many games in one app.

Anyways, I was just wondering about something. Is it possible to play MSU-1 games on the higan/bsnes cores in retroarch? I’ve read in other topics that it’s possible on the PC version, but I can’t seem to get it to work in the android version. I think the problem is I can’t figure out where to put the bml file. For reference, I’m trying to run the A Link to the Past and BS Zelda msu hacks.

Thanks!

It works “fine” as in it loads and runs but it’s too slow for android unless you have a Shield or something like that.

Anyway, this is how my folder looks:

. ├── Legend of Zelda, The - A Link to the Past (MSU).bml ├── msu1.msu ├── program.rom ├── save.ram ├── track-1.pcm ├── track-10.pcm ├── track-11.pcm ├── track-12.pcm ├── track-13.pcm ├── track-14.pcm ├── track-16.pcm ├── track-17.pcm ├── track-18.pcm ├── track-19.pcm ├── track-2.pcm ├── track-20.pcm ├── track-21.pcm ├── track-22.pcm ├── track-23.pcm ├── track-24.pcm ├── track-25.pcm ├── track-26.pcm ├── track-27.pcm ├── track-28.pcm ├── track-29.pcm ├── track-3.pcm ├── track-30.pcm ├── track-31.pcm ├── track-32.pcm ├── track-33.pcm ├── track-364.pcm ├── track-4.pcm ├── track-5.pcm ├── track-6.pcm ├── track-7.pcm ├── track-8.pcm └── track-9.pcm

And this is my bml file:

Thanks! I managed to get LttP to work, but following the same procedure I can’t get BS Zelda working. Is it because of the video perhaps?

If you can get it working in higan standalone, you should be able to just point RetroArch at the BML file and it should load.

#5

Hmm, how would I do that on android?

#6

Well, you wouldn’t use higan on android, obviously, but get it working in higan on PC and then transfer the known-working ROM to your phone/tablet/whatever.

You can’t, just test on PC Once it loads on higan it should just work with bsnes-libretro
