    Says reviewer Modern Vintage Gamer:

    The two original developers of ZSNES zsKnight and Demo are back!

    Introducing Super ZSNES.

    Re-written completely from scratch, this GPU-powered SNES emulator is here to bring you the following: some of what is familiar, some of what’s new, and then some of what goes beyond.

    In today’s episode we take a closer look at the inner workings of Super ZSNES, and discuss why I think it is a very exciting breakthrough in 16-bit tile-based emulation.

    Unlike its predecessor, this endeavor appears to be a closed-source Unity project.

    The emulator is available here. You can support the development effort via Patreon here.

  • Perplexed Player Pans Re:Jobbed on RHDN

    Played Another Site’s Version Without Heeding Its Instructions

    The following reflects the personal opinion of clymax and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of any other individual of the FFV Central community or of the community as a whole.

    This post is made becauase Romhacking.net (RHDN) doesn’t have a way for a modder to reply to a player review, unlike other sites such as Romhack Plaza (RHP).

    The player review specifies version 1 of Re:Jobbed, which is not the version (0.8) hosted on RHDN here.

    So what’s this version 1, and where can it be found? Version 1 (beta) is hosted exclusively on RHP here. According to the hack submission, version 1 has two builds:

    Instead of checking the instructions or asking for assistance, our player leaves a review concluding the hack is “unfortunately broken,” when maybe it’s the player who unfortunately won’t read.

    So, what do you think? Comment below, or come check us out on Discord.
