Magno has been working on an open-source S-DD1 special chip FPGA core for SD2SNES for over a year, completing roughly 95% of the code, and Redguy made it playable. His latest commits on Github successfully add support for SDD-1 games in SD2SNES. It hasn’t been officially released yet, but a pre-compiled build was shared (link […]
As I reported last week, a new and never-before-seen Super Nintendo FPGA emerged recently and took the world by surprise. Srg320 presented a relatively complete SNES implementation, complete with special chip integration. Now that core is on MiSTer. SNES FPGA porting to MiSTer proceeded at a tremendous pace, with ElectronAsh undertaking the effort to get […]
srg320 released what appears to be a well made, open-source, relatively complete Super Nintendo/Super Famicom core for a Cyclone FPGA with special chip support already integrated. The release came out of nowhere, as has become the norm for FPGA developments. Users are currently investigating if it can be quickly brought over to MiSTer. A random […]
In my opinion, the SD2SNES was an absolute game changer in the SNES world and I’m thrilled I was able to interview the creator Maximilian, aka ikari_01!

Developer FURiOUS has just forked his own branch of the SD2SNES firmware and added support for savestates on non-special chip games! This is a very cool addition and something that will be a tremendous help to speedrunners who prefer practicing specific sections of the game; Now all practice can be done on original hardware without […]
