Kirby Super Star - SNES

[meleu]

@leiradel let's try to talk here. :-)

I tried your recent RetroArch commit with Snes9x 2010 (former Snes9x Next) and the Hungriest Runner still doesn't work.

I'm compiling the other libretro SNES cores to test.

@GameDragon2k can you confirm if it works with RASNES?

[leiradel]

It won't work on SNES9x 2010, this core isn't implementing the memory map interface. Please try with SNES9x Next.

SNES9x 2010 is listed as the core with the best compatibility, I believe this is an error. I think the best core to unlock cheevos is SNES9x Next.

[leiradel]

Hm, I've changed the way I calculate bit values and I could get Hungriest Runner with SNES9x 2010. This core doesn't implement the memory map interface, but it does implement the getmemory* API. This API is far inferior to the memory map, and some cheevos may not work with it.

If someone wants to give it a try, the commit is this one: https://github.com/leiradel/RetroArch/commit/170c98b59393bac40a410cf25fc69a2053066c7b

Let's use links to the core repositories. When I say Snes9x 2010 I'm talking about this one: https://github.com/libretro/snes9x2010

The description says "Snes9x 2010. Port of Snes9x 1.52+ to Libretro (previously called SNES9x Next). Rewritten in C and several optimizations and speedhacks."

Can you post a link to the snes9x next repo?

[leiradel]

Some additional tests with other cheevos that were fixed recently would be awesome to avoid regressions.

[meleu]

I'll test this night ;-)

[leiradel]

SNES9x Next is this one: https://github.com/libretro/snes9x

[meleu]

Tested here. Snes9x 2010 is working and Snes9x isn't. I got Hungriest Runner with Snes9x 2010 (what I think is the former snes9x next), and then did a reset in this cheevo and tried with Snes9x. It didn't work.

@leiradel can you confirm with your libretro fellows which one is the actual "snes9x next"?

[leiradel]

It's this one: https://github.com/libretro/snes9x

[meleu]

Well... The snes9x from this repository (https://github.com/libretro/snes9x) isn't working (recording cheevos).

And I tested Hungriest Runner again with bsnes too. It's working fine! :-)

[meleu]

@leiradel according to this answer the Snes9x 2010 description seems to be correct. It really is the actual Snes9x next.

I cant currently test but this emulator used to work with snes achievements. https://github.com/RetroPie/ARMSNES-libretro

[GameDragon2k]

@meleu @leiradel Can confirm both Hungriest Runner and Speed Eater are working now.

[meleu]

Solved, then I'm closing this issue.
