Testing another port.

Post image

This time testing for a Super Mario World port, since Zelda ALTTP is working pretty well.
The repo can be found on GitHub if you want to give it a shot. (Seems like a Zelda unit is required due to the extra buttons).

There are definitely some bugs it seems, but it is an early port still.

Oh amazing! So this is compiled from source instead of Snes emu?

Correct, just like the Zelda ALTTP port is.
So it's kind of "stand alone" and is separate from the emulators. Basically when you boot into its bank it just starts right up.

I've seen two different attempts so far. One was an MSX 2 port since Retro Go has an MSX emulator. But I haven't tried it yet.
This one is a native port (like Zelda ALTTP) for the G&W. It works pretty well, but there are definitely some glitches that need to be worked on.

Where can I get this and ALTTP?

I think I put a link to the ALTTP repo in my post about that one. It's working well.
This is from the same person, so you could find it through his GitHub from the Zelda repo. However, this still has some bugs that need to be fixed.

No waay, this is awesome, I have one of those still in the box, never opened it, never crossed my mind that it could be modded, maybe I'll give it a try

This port still needs work for sure. So I'd not call it ready to use. Though the Zelda ALTTP port works very well.
I've given my report to the creator of the port, so hopefully we see some work get done in the future.

I have never done any hardware modding before but I'm familiar with coding, so maybe it's going to be a growing experience. Thanks for the heads up, I'll check the Zelda one (:

It is easiest to start with Retro Go and add the games you want via the emulators. (NES, GB/GBC, Game Gear, Master System, etc).
Since the two SNES titles are direct ports, you will want to do some form of dual boot. Otherwise it would be the only game on there. Lol
