This fixes Mode 7 widescreen specifically in the mentioned games and results may vary in other ones for Mode 7, other backgrounds and objects. Please test any other games that had no widescreen for no obvious reason in the previous beta.

Unsafe – This allow sprites to enter widescreen areas further if the game keeps updating them. You can also “disable” any of the 4 background layers entirely.

Some games require more complex settings, e.g. You can also force each one “on” or “off”. for the HUD in “F-Zero” or “Super Mario Kart”. The default for all 4 is “auto horz and vert”, which is a simple auto detection based on the sizes and positions of the backgrounds. To avoid HUDs repeating and other unwanted effects, this setting allows you to disable widescreen for the separate background layers and even just the top or bottom of a layer. mosaic enabled) lines that have mosaic enabled do not use the HD mode (as the intentional pixelation that is mosaic would negate it anyway), but others still do.

See top part of screen in the Terranigma safe state. Ignore: – This setting disables mosaic effects for mode 7 scan lines. HD Mode 7 HD -> SD Mosaicġx scale : Mosaic mode for HD Mode 7, using 1x scale, providing a good compromise between SD Mode 7 and no Mosaic at all, and also allowing widescreen, e.g. None – Disables widescreen for all modes. All – Enables widescreen for both Mode 7 and non-Mode 7 scenes. The widescreen areas in that case can either be black or adopt the background color. Mode 7 – Disables widescreen for non-Mode 7 scenes (default now), fixing menus and widescreen-incompatible 2D levels with no setting switching during gameplay. Please remember that the CPU load is the product of the two factors. Super sampling can be combined with higher scale factors as a sort of anti-aliasing. Wide – Use “wide” when there is no issue. Narrow – Fixes black flicker in “Tales of Phantasia” Mode 7 Covers “Super Castlevania IV” (tube), “Terranigma” (underworld) and “Final Fantasy III” (credits), but not the “Mohawk & Headphone Jack” title screen (levels are fine). Quite primitive implementation, but worked out surprisingly well. This setting also allows you to set the width for the perspective correction.Īuto – Auto detection for perspective correction. Optionally, for games with pseudo 3D perspectives, some limitations of the integer math used by the SNES can be avoided by more aggressive averaging. TIP: HD Mode 7 can be set to 1x scaling aka original resolution, with any combination of perspective correction, widescreen and supersampling. HDMA) at up to x times the horizontal and vertical resolution. Let’s explain some of the core options this core provides: HD Mode 7 Scale Fixed setting Ignore Window Fallback X-Coordinate via settings dialog.Various minor bsnes-hd specific modifications to GUI.Automated Linux build is now CPU neutral.Changed storage paths from “bsnes” to “bsnes-hd beta”.Corrected widescreen object wrap-around point to 352.Changed Show Overscan setting, replacing Soft Crop.This core is already available on our buildbot for Windows, Linux and Android, and should be coming to Switch (libnx) soon as well! Note that all these enhancement features operate on the CPU, so the faster your CPU is, the better the results will be.

With this emulator core, emulator developers are moving far beyond the limitations of original hardware and FPGA clones, putting the extra horsepower of modern PCs and cellphones to judicious use. This is a cutting edge version of bsnes that is jam packed with enhancement features! Note that many of these enhancement features, such as the widescreen features, might require specific tweaking and finetuning in order for specific games to display right, and some games might just not display right at all with these enabled, so experiment at your own risk. DerKoun shares with us a special new core called bsnes HD beta.
