No Linux/SteamOS
😞
This is cool overall though. ZSNES was always my favorite emulator because it ran well and had great quality of life features. e.g. Fast-forward and rewind make a massive difference in old RPGs, so I’m glad those eventually caught on in other emus lol

Hopefully the concepts of Super ZSNES will as well but that time as proper FOSS without Unity crap.

Thanks to the info by a commenter in the other thread: Linux version is now out. Still Unity, still proprietary.
ShinIt’s proprietary? That blows. I would be content with that OSS ZSNES remake if not for the fucked up audio. It’s such a cozy app.
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮Did it really need to move the power to the GPU? The original ZSNES is already damn near perfect emulation..
Did it really need to move the power to the GPU?
For the stuff explained in the video: yes. For regular emulation: no.

Is it just me or is much of it „eeeew”? Most of these effects look really gaudy and SuperEagle-like.
I think most of it can be seen as a proof on concept. A statement by zsKnight is read in the YT video where he says that he wants to work on Super ZSNES full time via funding through Patreon.
Given the nature as a proprietary application written using Unity, I wouldn’t be surprised if Super ZSNES will be sold on Steam in the future, similar to 3dSen. It’s not like a Unity app can ever be fully FOSS because Unity itself is not FOSS.

there’s literally a link for the Linux download right on the page…
It wasn’t there when I posted it. Check the YouTube comments for people asking about a Linux release. You’ll realize that it wasn’t me who merely missed the download link.
