higan (console multi-system emulator)
|
|
|
|
higan (formerly known as bsnes) is an emulator that began development
|
|
on 2004-10-14. The purpose of this emulator is a bit different from
|
|
others: it focuses on accuracy, debugging functionality, and clean
|
|
code. The emulator does not focus on things that would hinder accuracy.
|
|
This includes speed and game-specific hacks for compatibility. As a
|
|
result, the minimum system requirements for higan are very high.
|
|
|
|
As of v104, higan has top-tier support for the following consoles:
|
|
|
|
- Nintendo Super Famicom/SNES, including add-on hardware:
|
|
+ Super Game Boy
|
|
+ Sufami Turbo
|
|
- Nintendo Game Boy Advance
|
|
|
|
It also includes some level of support for these consoles:
|
|
|
|
- Satellaview add-on for the Super Famicom
|
|
- Nintendo Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System
|
|
- Nintendo Game Boy
|
|
- Nintendo Game Boy Color
|
|
- Sega Master System
|
|
- Sega Game Gear
|
|
- Sega Mega Drive/Genesis
|
|
- NEC PC Engine/TurboGrafx 16 (but not CD-ROM^2 System/TurboGrafx-CD)
|
|
- NEC SuperGrafx
|
|
- Bandai WonderSwan
|
|
- Bandai WonderSwan Color
|

Complete (though slightly outdated) documentation on higan is available

|
*** Configuration:
|
|
|
|
The default profile directory (where platform system files, cheats and
|
|
shaders are located) is /usr/share/higan. If you want a personalized
|
|
profile, store your files in ~/Emulation, then higan will use this
|
|
directory instead.
|
|
|
|
First time users note: By default there are *no* control
|
|
mappings. You'll have to use Settings -> Input to map your preferred
|
|
keyboard and/or gamepad controls for each emulated system. Also,
|
|
by default, there's nothing 'plugged into' the emulated controller
|
|
ports. In the menu bar, click on the system name (e.g. Famicom, Super
|
|
Famicom) -> Controller Port 1 -> Gamepad (or whatever is required for
|
|
the ROM you're running).
|
|
|
|
*** Build options:
|
|
|
|
- OpenAL is autodetected, and used if found. You can disable it with
|
|
OPENAL=no in the environment.
|
|

|
|
environment.

|

the environment.
