None of that appears in the programmer’s manual, and SNES emulation is still not perfect. Probably even the HDL source or masks for them (keep in mind none of the chips have been decapped yet). Nintendo would have information regarding each chip and its internals, how exactly the PPU1 and PPU2 are implemented, etc., given they were the ones to design the chips in the first place. (Granted, info about the 65816 is hardly specific to the SNES, which is probably why they didn’t take the time to scan it.)

And hell, it’s not even the whole programmer’s manual that was leaked, there’s a whole section about the 65816 itself that’s missing. Posted in Nintendo Hacks, Raspberry Pi Tagged raspberry pi, snes, snes classic mini Post navigationĪre you referring to the programmer’s manual? That’s not “all of Nintendo’s internal documentation”, just the amount of documentation relevant to programming the SNES. In particular, the official Nintendo emulation is reported to be particularly adept at running games that rely on the SuperFX chip.įor another take on SNES emulation, try out your old Mario games on the HoloLens. While emulation of the SNES has been a largely solved problem for quite some time, it’s great to see more work going on in the field. It also gives some interesting insight – it looks like the SNES Classic Mini relies on the SDL libraries to run. However, a workaround was simple enough – swapping out some libraries was all that was required. One stumbling block was the difference in hardware between the Raspberry Pi and the SNES Classic Mini – the Pi using a Broadcom GPU instead of the SNES’s Mali hardware.

has been kind enough to share the full instructions necessary to recreate this feat. In particular, Nintendo engineers have the benefit of access to internal documentation that can make the job a lot easier, particularly when dealing with edge cases. But anyone interested in the nuts and bolts of emulation can see the clear interest in the tricks and techniques Nintendo are using to achieve the feat. Yes, there are already SNES emulators on the Raspberry Pi. These consoles use an emulator that has been created especially for the purpose by Nintendo, in house – and wanted to see if he could take the emulator on the SNES Classic Mini and run it on the Raspberry Pi. Starting with the NES, and now followed with the SNES, the consoles ship in a cute, miniature enclosure and emulate Nintendo classics using the horsepower of modern ARM chips. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’d be familiar with Nintendo’s hugely popular Classic Mini consoles.
