Libretro is a simple but powerful development interface that allows for
|
|
the easy creation of emulators, games and multimedia applications that
|
|
can plug straight into any libretro-compatible frontend. This development
|
|
interface is open to others so that they can run these pluggable emulator
|
|
and game cores also in their own programs or devices.

|
bsnes is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System / Super Famicom video
|
|
game system emulator that aims to document SNES/SFC hardware with an
|
|
extremely high degree of accuracy without compromise or optimisation.
|
|
As such, it has quite high system requirements. For a SNES/SFC libretro
|
|
emulation core that balances performance and accuracy to an acceptable
|
|
level for 99% of games, consider using a snes9x core.
|
|
|
|
bsnes-mercury is a fork of bsnes aiming to restore some useful features
|
|
that have been removed, as well as improving performance a bit. Maximum
|
|
accuracy is still uncompromisable; anything that affects accuracy is
|
|
optional and off by default.
|
|
|
|
It has has 3 different profiles: Performance, Balanced, and Accuracy.
|
|
The Balanced version is recommended for modern PCs. Use the Accuracy
|
|
profile only for extreme cases. For more information, see:
|
|

https://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?title=Nintendo_SNES_Core_Compatibility
|
|
|
|
The differences between the three profiles reflect differences in
|
|
documented hardware behaviour versus actual hardware behaviour.
