SEns9x is an port of Snes9x - an emulator of Super Nintendo Entertainment System also known as Super Famicom.


2009-2010
Port to SE by:

Thanks to: Tartes

SEns9x is based on Siemens elf by CBN programmers and Miha_r.
Port uses also some UIQ Snes9x solutions.

We do not take any responsibility for any phone problems possibly caused by this elf, especially the older versions that reboot on exit.

1. System Requirements:
- a DB2020 or better Sony Ericsson phone
- 2,5(depending on settings)MB + rom size of free heap(actually, for a 4MB game the emulator needs 5-6MB, but I noticed phone gets ustable when it has below 1-1,5MB free heap)
- an Elfpack installed

2.Usage:
1. Put SEns9x.elf into Zbin folder.
2. Put SEns9x.png into Zbin/Config/Extension and add the line from ext.ini.txt to your phone's ext.ini. Change [EXTxx] to next available number. Update extensions with FileReg.elf or w/e elf that does that too.
3. Put ROM.smc (ie. Chrono Trigger.smc) in other/snes/ folder.
4. Run the emulator by clicking open on the .smc file or by running elf and choosing game from the list (game must be in other/snes/ folder for the second option)

3. Menu Usage:
We enter the menu by pressing right softkey. Entering menu also pauses the game. Most of the options are understandable, I'll just briefly explain some:
BG Layers - allows us to turn off background layer, useful in games that need transparency support (which SEns9x doesn't support for now)
Emulation Settings (Advanced) - we can modify there CPU settings to gain perfomance in some games, we can aswell edit Memory Settings to reduce memory usage: In most of games you can safely set SRAM to 8kb, although if the game needs SRAM bigger than 8kb, it can cause phone's reboot, you'd also lose your previously saved games. TILE memory can be set in range between 32-128, however setting it below 64 can cause graphics problems aswell as reboot the phone. It should work fine at 50 though, in some games at least.


4. Keys Settings
Key settings work same as in NesCube.
Function keys:
KEY TURBO FSKIP - turns on/off frameskip 15
QUICK LAYER - this key allows us to quickly turn on/off background layers that we have chosen in settings

5. Saving game:
While the quick save/load options in main menu don't work, you can save game using the original SNES's saving method - to the emulated game's memory (SRAM). You can save this way only in games that allow you to save this way. You can also import your saves from PC version of Snes9x, you just need to remember to keep same names, i.e when you have Game.smc you need the SRAM file to be named Game.srm.


6. FAQ
Will SEns9x emulate sound?
Unfortunately, elfpack seems to not have any function that would allows us to include sound emulation. At least in a way that would work properly.

Will SEns9x support custom chip games (i.e Doom - Super FX chip, Super Mario RPG - SA1 chip).
I'm afraid Super FX chip is too demanding to emulate on our SE phones. Adding SA1 coprocessor emulation is easy, but games that use it work too slow, so I didn't include it to SEns9x release to not make elf bigger. Maybe A2 phones will [no, they don't...]have enough power for SA1

Will Load/Save options in main menu work?
Hell, they do!

When will next version be released?
No idea. Might as well be never.

version history:
v0.19 - initial test release
...
v0.50, v0.53, v0.55, v0.56, v0.56r, v0.6, v0.61
v0.65 - current release

We have another update for you, hope you'll enjoy it

v0.5
- Added SRAM saving ability
- Slightly decreased RAM usage, now it requires about 0,5MB less memory(there's a chance 256/512kb games will run on DB2010).
- the emulator automatically closes filemanager and menu books on start, so after exiting emulator you'll find yourself on desktop ;D And it gives us another extra 100-150kb of memory for emulator usage

SRAM explaination: SRAM save states have nothing to do with the "save" and "load" options in menu. SRAM is emulation of the original SNES' method of game saving on cartridge, therefore you can save only when the game allows you to do it, for example in Chrono Trigger you can save game on the world map and in special saving points.
You can import SRAM saves from PC version of Snes9x, you just need to rename the file so it will match rom's name.

Example: If you have a "Game Title.smc" rom, you need to rename the file from the name it had on PC to "Game Title.srm" and put it in same folder as the game. Of course you don't need to do it if both your rom on PC and rom on phone have same filenames.

As den_po suggested, the newest version has been added to the first post. Here's download link though: v0.5

note to den_po: sorry about this mess, I just write it on few forums and have no time to edit it everywhere ;d

okejokej, in old version 0.19 game Mortal Combat 3 work normal, but in new version 0.45 is reboot the phone, may you fix that?
sorry for my bad english

Developer

 

It didn't work in 0.45 because it used more RAM. It has been fixed already in 0.50
Version 0.50 needs less ram even than 0.19 so Mortal Kombat works

MaW

PS. can anyone test if 256/512kb roms work on DB2010?
I only have k550@w610 and W890 (yay I wanna A2 elfpack! xD)

man, is that PoSsIbLe to play sound?

Developer

 

Sorry, but no. Not even mentioning that it would be terribly slow, I think elfpack has no function that would allow us to play sound directly from the emulator.

... but ... what about
1) Find it
2) Extract
3) Decode
4) Play where needed...

I dont know really what is structure of nintendo ROMs, so... But everything is possible))))

З.Ы. Какой проц в к550? И где можно такую инфу узнать?
