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

Люди зачем вы пишете КАК работают у вас РОМЫ??Эльф уже довольно стабильный чтоб на нем работало 90% из всех игр которые есть!!
Doom не работает потому-что он SFX [Super FX-это гравический 3D чип который встраивался в картриджи SNES и был в видеокартах начала 90-х(на комп) Doom и в иные игры с приставкой FX] и как okejokej говорил:"SFX is too powerfull to emulate in phone"!!

Read the first post, the elf requires a DB2020 phone. I'm not working anymore on making it work on DB2010/12, they just won't run it.

(k750/w800 are DB2010 phones, which means they have weaker CPU and less RAM)

Глянь тут.

Elfmaker

 

Эх, на моем не пошел... Точнее запустился 256 кб ром, спасибо разработчику, но все равно ничего не показывает, черный или другой экран, в зависимости от темы. Жаль, но все равно спасибо.

SERGK, as I wrote in first post, it will not work on DB2010/12

Anyway, an update.
v0.55
- SEns9x uses now NesCube-like key input. Therefore MULTI key has been removed, and RESET option was moved to main menu.

File added to first post.

okejokej,

Is it possible to make support of "key sets" - profiles where we can set some keymap and then apply it during "2 clicks"?
It can be need, for example, when we play fighting and then play platform game. Now I need to reapply almost all key settings with screen orientation mode.
Look, may be you can make to save different keymaps for each 3 screen orientation?
I think that it is not needed more than 1 keymap for each screen orientation.

Umm no.. I thought of that already, but the way it works now, although it's not hard to do, having separate keymaps for all orientations would just raise elf size to above 400kb =P I don't say no of course, it's just time consuming thing. I'll think of some better solution first and if won't come up with anything, you'll need to bear with reconfig everytime or having a 400-500kb elf :<
