I've added a number of additional controls to the game.

So, exactly what does "Super Metroid - PC Edition" have to offer?Įach major feature listed below can be enabled or disabled in a special config file. On top of that, Snes9X already has a number of featured to improve the visuals and sound of the game, and this copy of the emulator is optimized for Super Metroid by default.

And since all of this is handled by the emulator's own execution code (no changes, soft or hard, are made to the ROM itself), these improvements can be applied to ANY Super Metroid ROM hack. Unlike the vanilla version of the emulator, it makes a handful of improvements and adds some new controls to the game by means of memory manipulation (and the occasional input spoof) during runtime. "Super Metroid - PC Edition" is a modified version of the Snex9X emulator (link to their site in section 6) specifically designed for playing Super Metroid and any ROM Hacks based on it.

I had a seperate copy of Snes9X with the controls/setting configured for an ideal Super Metroid experience, and had I started writing a python script to allow me to select what ROM/ROM-hack to play when I launched the game from my library, when the idea for this project struck me: Instead of modding the ROM, mod the emulator. Because I'm rather OCD, I like my emulated games to feel as native to my PC as I can make them. I use LaunchBox to manage this library, along with my games from Steam and other places. I've played through a handful of hacks and even applied a few tweaks for my own enjoyment.įor the record, I'm not new to the world of emulation for retro-games, having a moderate library of classic titles and others from my own childhood. Well, within the last few months, I've discovered the wonderful world of ROM-hacking, Super Metroid in particular, and I've been dripping with excitement ever since. But I'd rather my work not suffer the same DCMA-based fate as the aforementioned love-letter to the franchise.

Having a fair bit of experience with the Unity Game Engine (in which I am developing my own game), I've considered attempting a fan remake myself, perhaps something along the lines of the fantastic AM2R (which you you can still find with a brief google search, BTW). Seriously, it's one of the handful of retro games who's mechanics haven't aged almost at all, and yet the only official version of the game that exists is the original from 24 years ago.

(TBH, you've probably already read this part whereever you downloaded this project.)Īs Super Metroid is one of my favorite games of all time, and it makes me bit sad sad that this genre-defining classic hasn't seen a remake since.
