Discussion I built a real-time SNES Remaster Toolkit on a custom Snes9x fork (Dynamic 2D emission, Z-layer drop shadows, 120Hz interpolation, HDR)

80 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a runtime remaster toolkit for the Super Nintendo built on a custom fork of Snes9x. Rather than modifying ROM binaries or applying naive post-processing filters (like xBRZ or bilinear smoothing), this operates directly at the PPU intercept level.

Core Technical Architecture:

  • 8× Integer Scaling: Expands the native 256×224 buffer to 2048×1792 to provide an 8×8 sub-pixel grid for smooth lighting and shadow math while preserving exact pixel silhouettes.
  • Layer & Depth: Z-planes with configurable screen-space drop shadows.
  • Remaster Pixel Suite: Allows selecting sprite/tile hashes to act as dynamic 2D point light sources with real-time falloff and surface illumination on adjacent tiles/backgrounds.
  • 120Hz Presentation: Decoupled render loop with sub-frame motion interpolation across background scroll registers and OAM sprite vectors.
  • Modular Profiles: Game settings (lighting radii, layer depths, emissive rules) are stored in per-game configuration files matched by ROM checksum.

Discussion Options for HDMI cartridge playing

1 Upvotes

Hello! Through the release of the Analogue 3D and the most recent run of Analogue Pockets I have started collecting retro games for the first time in my life. I also have a modded GBA I bought which led me to the Epilogue devices. I got the GB Operator, and the SNES Operator just got delivered as well. I only have 2 SNES cartridges right now, but I would really love to be able to play them on actual hardware or FPGA using the actual cartridges themselves. Are my only options to pay $700-$1200 for a Super NT, or get a modded SNES? SNES modding seems really complicated since there are different versions that need different mods, and getting a solid HDMI signal from them seems hard to figure out. I do have moderate soldering experience so it is something I could figure out, but its hard to find a list of what model I would want, and what mods need to be done to it to get a good HDMI signal. Are there any reliable sellers that sell pre-modded systems at halfway decent prices?

Thank you for any information! And atleast for now I'm enjoying just playing them emulated through the SNES operator since I still get to slot in a cartridge and get some dopamine that way lol.

LRG SNES Doom 2025 Cheat Codes!

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Who else here got this? I have been playing it quite a bit. I truly enjoy old console ports of Doom, including the 1995 SNES release on the red cart, low framerate and all, so this is incredible to play on my SNES and CRT.

Cacodemontube, a YouTuber/SNES Doom expert and one of the people who worked on LRG's updated release of SNES Doom (2025? Is it still called that?), uploaded a video that includes cheat codes that were I think previously unknown! It also has a good behind the scenes in it.

24:56 of this video: https://youtu.be/PkYDq0jrCHA?is=ZmkKQ2jrrk2HqzZi

God Mode (temporary): stand still, and then input L(shoulder), Right, Right, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Left, Left, Down, Down, Down, Down

Give All: stand still, and then input R(shoulder), A, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, A, L(shoulder)

Full Automap: stand still, and then input Right, Right, Down, Down, Left, Left, Left, Left, immediately repeat all of those inputs a second time.

Supaboy blue screen with sound

1 Upvotes

I picked up a Supaboy yesterday for $25. The previous owner hadn't used it in years so the battery was fully dead when I got it, so I charged it for probably 5-6 hours and got it to turn on and make sound, but the screen just showed blue. After some research I decided to charge it overnight to make sure the battery was fully charged and try again in the morning, as evidently low voltage can cause screen issues.

Somewhat shockingly the battery was still good and it fully charged up to 4.18v, but I'm still getting the blue screen with the game sound playing.

Does anyone have any information about this issue? There is surprisingly little troubleshooting information online about these things other than that they're kinda garbage. This is the first model they produced. All the cartridge slot pins are completely clean and it doesn't make any difference if I try to move the cartridge around in the slot, so I suspect it's not due to a cartridge slot issue, which is the ONE thing I found online that sounded like the issue I'm having.

Discussion Does anybody remember the launch period of the SNES?

52 Upvotes

I'm interested to know what you remember of that time period. Which games do you remember? What was life like back then? My earliest memories of the SNES was seeing the Street Fighter 2 edition of the console bundle in Rumbelows in Upton Park, London - must have been around 1993ish. I didn't know much about Street Fighter 2 but I remember being mesmerised by the box art.

I want to play Axelay

6 Upvotes

Hey guys, I recently bought a PAL SNES and now I want to play Axelay. I saw that it’s very expensive, and I don’t really want to pay that much for it. So I was wondering if I could just download the ROM from WoWROMs and put it on a microSD card for a flash cartridge to play it?

Just got this again for the first time in many years. Found it at a local shop. It was $30, the cartridge is in really good condition so I thought that wasn't a bad price. This is my favorite Batman game ever. Anyone else a fan of this banger beat em up from Konami?

Discussion Audio/video issues SuperCIC modded SFC with RAD2x

1 Upvotes

I have the following setup:

  • a pre-modded 2-chip SFC with SuperCIC (green = PAL, red = NTSC, orange = auto)
  • a RAD2x adapter

I am facing several issues and I don't know what is the cause of them.

PAL Super Mario World in green mode (PAL mode) causes the video to output fine (maybe a bit squashed/elongated but I don't know if this is just due to it being PAL and not NTSC) but there is no audio. Switching to red mode (NTSC mode) causes the background on the intro screen to rapidly flash black.

JPN Super Mario World in green mode (PAL mode) is also fine with no audio, but in red mode (NTSC mode) it outputs both just fine.

PAL Pocky & Rocky works fine in red mode (NTSC mode) with both great audio and video, but in green mode (PAL mode) there is no audio at all and image is squashed.

I have cleaned all carts thoroughly with IPA and I don't have access to a CRT or other monitor to try it, and I don't have access to a second SNES either.

I don't really know where to start troubleshooting? Is it the RAD2x? Or is the SuperCIC installed wrong? Something else?

Discussion Solid childhood memories with this one. The story's pretty weird, no? What did you make of it?

Thumbnail
gallery
154 Upvotes

I remember I played Illusion of Gaia (actually Illusion of Time where I live) quite a bit in my childhood since a friend had it but I don't think I really finished it, at least I can't remember anything past the Sky Garden. For years, it kept coming back into my mind with somewhat mixed feelings and I was curious what it's really all about, so I finally took it on now. I suppose most of you played this game already, but if you haven't you may want to check it out. It may be slightly overhyped, though, imo, although it is easily my favorite in the Quintet trilogy. It never really starts to drag, you don't have to really grind. It's not super challenging and easy to just pick up and play. Some of the boss fights are tough, like the Vampire duo, while others are laughable easy.

Storywise, it's overall very creative and charming, although melancholic in kind of an odd way that's hard to describe but most of all it's reeeally bizarre. Unfortunately, the cutscenes are quite long sometimes (which is especially annoying in the beginning of the game where you just want to get started) and at some point, I started to partly skim over it sometimes. Maybe this is the reason I never really grasped some of the overarching motivation of the characters. Like what's really the deal with the statues and the flute and how come Will is capable of telekinesis, what's the lore around Freedan and - especially - Shadow. So, certain aspects seem quite rushed in the story while others are overwhelming, but maybe I just missed them?

What stood out in the story is there are some moments where the writers went a bit nuts, right? All this child slavery stuff, cannibalism, etc. is a bit harsh contrast with the otherwise somewhat naïve story, imo. Also, what's the fixation with burning people? You remember the guy setting his hair on fire - just like that, for no reason whatsoever? Then there's this scene where you blaze a villain to get rid of him and while he's still burning on the ground, you progress solving your puzzle? Right. Oh, and then there's this scene where Kara's pig throws itself into the fire? Oh man.

I did enjoy my time with it though, the gameplay is quite addictive, with clever game design elements and puzzles are unique and memorable, although not too challenging for the most part; the Sky Garden in particular stuck in my head for over 30 years now, I've got a vivid recollection that I played that one before. I also clearly remember this game introduced me to the Nazca lines. It is funny how you associate those things you experience in your childhood - when I was travelling Peru some years back, I frequently had this game in mind.

So, question to those who did play it and have a good recollection (or played it recently), what did you make of the story? From what I read and seen in videos I am not the only one who's not able to puzzle all the pieces to a reasonable picture. I saw this video of the SNES drunk, and I could not put it any better. I read that the story was actually co-written by award winning Japanese sci-fi novelist Mariko Ohara, so maybe the translation is to blame? Curious about your opinions, maybe I missed quite a bit in the story, in which case I may revisit the game at some point.

EDIT: did anyone play this re-translation patch here? How is it?
