bsnes-plus (or bsnes+) is a fork of bsnes (based on bsnes-classic) intended to introduce some new features and improvements, mostly aimed at debugging.
- Improved debugger UI with register editing
- Redesigned memory editor and breakpoint editor
- Improved handling of address mirroring for breakpoints (extends to the entire address space, not just RAM)
- Real-time code and data highlighting in memory editor, with fast searching for known code/data locations and unexplored regions
- Cartridge ROM and RAM views in memory editor for mapper-agnostic analysis
- Enhanced VRAM, sprite, and tilemap viewing
- SA-1 disassembly and debugging
- SA-1 bus and BW-RAM viewing and (partial) usage logging
- Super FX disassembly and debugging
- Super FX bus viewing and usage logging
Non-debugging features:
- Satellaview / BS-X support
- SPC file dumping
- SPC output visualizer (keyboards & peak meters)
- IPS and BPS soft patching
- Multiple emulation improvements backported from bsnes/higan (mostly via bsnes-classic)
Up-to-date development builds are available here (64-bit Windows, compatibility and accuracy profiles).
- Get mingw-w64 (make sure toolchain supports 64-bit builds)
- Initialize the bsnes-plus-ext-qt submodule in git
- Run
mingw32-make
Currently, OS X is not officially 100% supported. See this fork for now.
As there is no configure step, make sure necessary Qt5/X11 packages are installed. On a Debian/Ubuntu system, it would require a command like:
sudo apt install qtbase5-dev qtbase5-dev-tools libxv-dev libsdl1.2-dev libao-dev libopenal-dev g++ libdbus-1-dev
(qtbase5-dev might be qt5-default on older distros)
Afterwards, run make and if everything works out correctly you will find the output binary in the out/ directory.
The snesfilter, snesreader, and supergameboy plugins can all be built by running make (or mingw32-make) after you've configured your environment to build bsnes itself. After building, just copy the .dll, .so, or .dylib files into the same directory as bsnes itself.
