Snes High Resolution Mode
Emulating SNES games hits us right in the nostalgic feels, but playing SNES games on an 1920×1080 monitor is a painful reminder of the limitations of SNES hardware. [DerKoun] felt the same consternation, and decided to do something about it. He realized that some SNES games have much higher resolution textures that weren’t being taken advantage of. The SNES had a revolutionary video mode, mode 7, that allowed a game to set a relatively high resolution background, and then rotate and scale that background during gameplay.
TSM HighDistortion’s Achievements: HighDistortion is using the ASUS PG258Q with a refresh rate of 240 Hz and 1920x1080 resolution. What mouse is HighDistortion using? HighDistortion uses the Logitech G502 with a DPI of 1600 and in-game sensitivity 0.10. If you see any incorrect or missing information, please comment below with the updated information, thank you! Hi Res is relative, but it was a real function from the console. Standard SNES graphic modes are 256x224, but modes 5 and 6 allow resolutions 512 pixel wide. Though they are a lot more limited in number of background layers (2 in mode 5, only 1 in 6) and number of colours in those. Added grayscale mode toggle to GUI pagefault Added support for 5 SNES gamepads on LPT1 ZDrumm Added two new 256 color linear VGA video modes, 256x224 and 256x240 stainless Added proper gamma correction, now ranges from 0 (1.0) to 15 (2.0) in 8bpp modes stainless Fixed Filtered GUI option, now works pagefault.
This pseudo 3d effect was amazing for its time, but taking a high resolution image and squashing it into a 320 by 240 pixel viewport makes for some painful artefacts. This is where [DerKoun]’s hack comes in. He wrote a modification to the bsnes emulator, allowing those rotations and scaling to happen in full resolution, vastly improving the visuals of mode 7 games.
