Star Fox (mstan)
mstan/StarFoxSNESRecomp
A static recompilation of Star Fox (US version 1.2) with snesrecomp, with the Super FX chip emulated at a low level. Its author presents it as a development reference rather than a release for players, and points anyone who wants to play to kandowontu’s Star Fox Enhanced. It boots and has passed basic testing of the attract sequence, menus, route selection, training, and gameplay; longer sessions, more routes, and full effects coverage are still missing. As optional mods it has widescreen through the native renderer adapted from Star Fox Enhanced (16:10, 16:9, 21:9, or 32:9) and the Star Fox 64 Arwing, with its model and sounds extracted from your own ROM of that game; it also lets you present at 20 to 480 fps without changing game timing, change the crosshair color, and enable a god mode. It has save states with thumbnails and rewind. The latest release, 0.3.2 (October 18), is Windows-only; 0.3.0 also shipped for Linux. 18 of its last 100 commits list Claude as a co-author.
You needYour own Star Fox ROM (SNES, US version 1.2, unheadered, CRC32 8FC4E6D0). For the Star Fox 64 Arwing, also your US 1.1 Star Fox 64 ROM. 64-bit Windows.
