<h1>bsnes&trade; Usage Documentation</h1><br>
bsnes is a Super Nintendo / Super Famicom emulator that strives to provide
the most faithful emulation experience possible. It focuses on accuracy and
clean code; over speed and features.
<hr>
<h2><u>Modes of Operation</u></h2><br>
bsnes is capable of running both in its default multi-user mode, as well as
in single-user mode.<br>
<br>
In multi-user mode, configuration data is stored inside the user's home
directory. On Windows, this is located at "%APPDATA%/.bsnes". On other operating
systems, this is located at "~/.bsnes".<br>
<br>
To enable single-user mode, create a blank "bsnes.cfg" file inside the same
folder as the bsnes executable. bsnes will then use this file to store
configuration data.
<hr>
<h2><u>Supported Filetypes</u></h2><br>
<b>SFC, SMC, SWC, FIG:</b> SNES cartridge &mdash; ROM image.<br>
<b>BS:</b> Satellaview BS-X flash cartridge &mdash; EEPROM image.<br>
<b>ST:</b> Sufami Turbo cartridge &mdash; ROM image.<br>
<b>SRM, PSR:</b> non-volatile memory, often used to save game data &mdash; (P)SRAM image.<br>
<b>RTC:</b> real-time clock non-volatile memory.<br>
<b>UPS:</b> patch data, used to dynamically modify cartridge of same base filename upon load.<br>
<b>CHT:</b> plain-text list of "Game Genie" / "Pro Action Replay" codes.
<hr>
<h2><u>Known Limitations</u></h2><br>
<b>Cartridge co-processors:</b> certain cartridges contain special co-processor chips to enhance
their functionality. Some of these are either partially or completely unsupported. A message box
warning will pop up when attempting to load such a cartridge.<br>
<br>
<b>Satellaview BS-X emulation:</b> this hardware is only partially supported. As a result,
most BS-X software will not function correctly.<br>
<br>
<b>Savestates:</b> due to the design of bsnes, it is not plausible to
implement support for savestate and/or rewind functionality.<br>
<br>
<b>Netplay:</b> internet multiplay is not currently supported nor planned.
