Looks like Redguy has been making some fantastic progress on SD2SNES SuperFX implementation:

SFX happened, SA-1 could happen. Probably not thanks to Ikari, but should be doable. Might require disabling some other features to get it to fit but not impossible.

>> No.4689598

>>4689384
>>4689547
I honestly do not believe SA-1 is possible, due to the amount of cross communication between actual hardware that'd need to be emulated. If that overclocked SNES processor simply ignored the original processor, the odds of it being emulated would be greater. But, that's not how the hardware was made.

At least SPC7110 and even S-DD1 is doable, provided someone like redguy is willing to give either of them a look at.

>> No.4689609

byuu is the hero we deserve but not the one we need right now

seriously though its all open source specs and its not like Ikari has never done anything at all. Give the man a break. would redguy even have the option of contributing if it wasn't open source?

Lets just hope redguy or someone else has an interest in tackling SA-1 after SFX is stable

More like byuu or whatever really wrote it purposely wrote that 'mistake' in case he never got paid and since it went unfixed for years, clearly they never got paid by that scammer. The same applies to the overclocked CX4 emulation, which too should be a simple 'fix'. ikari is a hack and a con artist. Can't even code cheat device support, much less fix the 'mistakes'.

all of these were in there when sd2snes launched.

>> No.4691815

It's a good thing we're one step closer to full compatibility on SNES flashcarts but remember, it's only a beta release and as you can see in OPs video, it's far from accurate. Even if it gets a definitive (?) version then there are still some other chips left like the SA-1 and the S-DD1 that still can't be played on any flashcart. It's a relatively small amount of games compared to those that are supported now but I wouldn't count on being able to play games like Star Ocean, Super Mario RPG or Kirby Super Star on it yet.
Maybe if someone else could join with his own updates? I mean, it's open source so it's technically possible to contribute.

all special chips that games use are cartridge side, although you'd think with emulators doing SuperFX games flawlessly since windows 98 it would've been in Rev1 of this thing.

>even S-DD1 is doable
S-DD1 is highly unlikely simply because it was only ever used in two games, one of which is playable on the SD2SNES via patching and the other being an absolutely terrible port of a fighting game. The amount of work necessary to get S-DD1 games working on the SD2SNES just isn't worthwhile for most people.

SuperFX support on the SD2SNES is great, but there are more games that use the SA-1 and some of those games are more in-demand than SuperFX games.

It literally does because ZSNES only (poorly) emulates the SuperFX 2, which runs twice as fast as the original iteration of the SuperFX (which Star Fox uses).

The beta only adds support for the SuperFX chip. It doesn't change anything to do with the CX4 chip Mega Man X3 uses which is already supported.

Looks and feels just like the real cartridge to me. On it's first load it probably won't load. Power down and reload the rom and it will work flawlessly. The only other caveat is to hold the reset button down before powering off fx chip games for them to save properly.

I never believed Super FX was 'impossible', but I always believed ikari was a hack. That however does not change how SA1 communicates with the original hardware. Love to see SA1 implemented, but it's best to acknowledge that it'd be one of the more difficult ones to emulate and that the hack behind it will never be the one to do it.
