Super Metroid (スーパーメトロイド Sūpā Metoroido?), also known as Metroid 3, is a video game developed by Nintendo R&D1 and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Super Metroid is the third installment in the Metroid series. With its 24-megabit (3 megabyte) cartridge size, it was the largest video game on the Super Nintendo at the time of its release

To make it work just copy the Super Metroid US rom renamed as sm.smc in the root folder

<@&1123159718874058882>

Eventually i can also build with super metroid redux support if the community want

For fullscreen etc.. as always you need to touch the ini file

What is the advantage to play theses games like this instead of on a emulator?

It's like the cannonball Outrun? Extra features and stuff?

[solar wigeon]

More features, resolutions etc

[stone lichen]

yap

also, snes can be bitchy sometimes

with these port they tendentially run better

[flint lake]

Cool, gonna try them. 🙂

[stone lichen]

Nice

Btw, the most moddable and shit is Zelda

Smw can launch 3 games on the other hand

This one is the most recent one, a bit more bugged technically, but also the first one that doesn't require a particular procedure to boot(also on PC, there's literally a launcher, but whatever ahha)

[idle urchin]

SMW can launch 3 games?

[stone lichen]

Y

Smb1

Smw

And the lost levels

Smb1 and lost levels need to be extracted

But if you open the zip there are 3 sh files

what is redux for who is interested

guess could be a nice add

modernize the entire game

just for this feature "Message boxes can be skipped by pressing a button "

lol

[stone lichen]

included redux. Same as before, but now you need to copy the Redux patched rom with the same name as before

[daring tendon]

i.... just packed the normal one, redo 😄

[stone lichen]

both are here (?)

there are 2 boot scripts

[daring tendon]

i meant to say i just finished setting up the first one as you posted the new one including redux

[stone lichen]

Oh no problem

They share the ini technically

The main problem is that it requires a rom with the same name as the other, so you can't have both at the same time, but I guess no one wants to have both at the same time

But I can try a few things later

That maybe I can force the launcher to launch a renamed redux

Btw, try both if you can ahah

[daring tendon]

i will when i get the time, just saw metroid and had to see whether it all boots at least, while i have a bit of time 😄

[frozen schooner]

Hmm no full screen?

[daring tendon]

you can set fullscreen in the .ini, but that will probably just stretch it out

[frozen schooner]

for some reason setting 640x480 crops a black bar at the bottom

oh god the intro.. is so long.. 😦

[stone lichen]

Use redux

You can skip

[stone lichen]

Yap, Metroid is more boxed than Zelda or smw, I guess could do some weird shit in some cases

[stone lichen]

Probably is just the asset short unironically

Ahahahah

[stone lichen]

That said, the ini here was vanilla from compiling, so no pre configured, sorry ahaah

[frozen schooner]

how? i tried but you have to wait for all the intro letters to be written, takes a few minutes

[stone lichen]

Are you using redux?

[frozen schooner]

nope just the regular

i guess redux works

[stone lichen]

Then you can't

[frozen schooner]

but no full screen is a bummer

might as well use the emulated with full screen

[stone lichen]

It happen (?)

Lol

[stone lichen]

Btw, it's possible to use shader eventually too

that should be lot less heavy than in emulation

so maybe you can try the super heavy one

[pure cobalt]

I'm a bit confuzzled what is the appeal of Super Nintendo PC ports? 🤔

[stone lichen]

Sm is kinda the same atm, it's just better for applying things

zelda and smb have actually various functions

[solar wigeon]

Custom resolution, mods, bug fixes etc.

[stone lichen]

for fullscreen etc..

and above all, bugfixes and some qol change

in particular on zelda

[solar wigeon]

make it run in 60 fps

😄

[stone lichen]

Kinda the same of almost all dos games here

they run better than dosbox and you can usually do some shit

[pure cobalt]

@solar wigeon Ku, can't you do the same thing with N64 Mods too?

@stone lichen @solar wigeon NGL I can't wait to see JELOS on the Trimui Smart Pro!

[solar wigeon]

not even close

[pure cobalt]

@solar wigeon I'm not saying that they would work using the files here, but maybe if you target an ARM device and use a modded ROM instead then maybe it will work? ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

[solar wigeon]

Yes but it's not the same as running edits inside an emulator

you're rrunning the game as a real applciation on the device

no emulation layer and constraints inbetween

[pure cobalt]

Yes, but what I'm trying to figure out is for example if I took a Modified ROM for Super Metroid and named it sm.smc it would work right?

[solar wigeon]

ah idk

But

[stone lichen]

yap, cause load data from the rom directly in this case

unlike the others that have an extracted file

is just more simpler, but the rom is needed due to debug and assets load

[solar wigeon]

in case of zelda for example the do this:

You need a copy of the ROM to extract game resources (levels, images). Then once that's done, the ROM is no longer needed.

[pure cobalt]

I'll have to try this with the Conker High Rule Tails ROM.

[stone lichen]

oh wait you meant an hack

[solar wigeon]

😄

[stone lichen]

you probably need to change the checksum in the compiling

[solar wigeon]

he wants to break it

make it scream

[pure cobalt]

@stone lichen Oh 😥

[stone lichen]

but beside that if it doesn't do super weird shit you are good

[pure cobalt]

@stone lichen Okay 😳

[solemn wadi]

rg353p/jelos works well

[stone lichen]

@daring tendon @frozen schooner can i ask for yours devices model?

[frozen schooner]

rg353v arkos

[frozen schooner]

Seems to be a little problem with the menu btw, you can't see what you're changing in options - there is no highlight

On the redux

[stone lichen]

Guess it's cause some of them have been injected

Anyway, I can ask the dev if he can add it

No deadline or anything,if he ever does it obviously

[frozen schooner]

ye np

Night fellas, crazy job today on the ports 🎉

[wooden stratus]

This is super old - but can we get the wiki updated to more clearly say this - I was mucking around with calling the SMR rom smr.sfc or smredux.sfc before I came here and searched for this...! Thankis for the port!

[solar wigeon]

Feel free to shoot a pr to the markdown file 🙂

[stone lichen]

You mean the thing that you can't have both?

Cause on the wiki seems pretty clear what you need to do for all the other things, I can't sincerely see what's your problem

If you call them smr.sfc or smredux.sfc while on the wiki it is written to call them sm.smc is pretty normal it won't work

[spice fractal]

Not works on rgb20s/amberelec

[solar wigeon]

Writing not works does not help anyone

What does not work?

Your chair?

Post the log that is generated

Also this game is already finished

[stone lichen]

rgb20s is always a bit weird i noticed btw, saw 3 times, 3 times device specific issues lool

[spice fractal]

Okay now I will run it using ssh

Please some time

[spice fractal]

Where I can find sm.smc

[wooden stratus]

OK, I don't know how to do a Pull Request for a port that doesn't appear to be on the repository. Sorry.
Something simply saying "Both roms cannot be present at the same time" and even prior to that, instead of "For Redux same thing", perhaps make it - "for Redux rename that rom to sm.sfc instead or the unmodified rom"
Not trying to be critical, just trying to make it clear as I got confused with it.

[solar wigeon]

Doc would go here

https://github.com/PortsMaster-MV/PortMaster-Multiverse/tree/main/markdown

It is on the repository just no on the main one 🙂

@stone lichen you forgot to create a .md file?

[stone lichen]

weird

[solar wigeon]

Instructions can always be reworked to make them more fool proof 🙂

[stone lichen]

there should be

I forgot at this point i suppose

dunno how

[solar wigeon]

Like Game xy rename romname.old to new romname.new
and don't assume people know what to do if another filename is involved

😛

[stone lichen]

probably just not updated after the firsts mv tests or it was before one of the rework i suppose

[stone lichen]

i can't know the old file name

that's why i wrote literally this by specifing the version

That part can't be more clear. The both version togheter that's another thing and we can add it

but renaming files with names nowhere indicated it's not an instruction problem

[solar wigeon]

It can always be more clear

[stone lichen]

We can eventually do the script the deed

[solar wigeon]

Assume people don't know what a filename is or extension

or how to breathe

😄

[stone lichen]

Yeah, but at this point we can just modify the script i suppose

in order rename if found a sfc file in general

[solar wigeon]

Yeah

[stone lichen]

Cause "Assume people don't know what a filename is or extension" it's true, but in this case is kinda needed to know it lol

I'll fix it in the next hrs btw

and add the md files

100% they are in the local repo i bet lol

[spice fractal]

Rgb20s

Amberelec works

[uneven fern]

Is it possible to add true widescreen like on normal redux when using bsnes-hd? Or there's just stretched fullscreen?
