DrNokSnes is a Super Nintendo / SNES emulator running on Maemo-Leste.

It works only on armhf architecture devices at the moment like Nokia N900 and Motorola Droid.

The emulator uses the original maemo 5 GUI: This version of DrnokSnes is a clone of the old maemo one.


Status

  • SNES games are playable, with sound and input, running at 50-60 fps on N900.


Default configuration is already optimised. Like other emulators it is recommended to disable hildon compositing while playing, using Ctl+Shift+N.


Keymapping and all other parameters can be modified directly from the GUI.



Tested Super Nintendo/ SNES games

Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2, FF VI , ISS, Killer Instinct, Zelda a Link to the Past, John Madden Football, Mickey Magical Quest, Secret of Mana, Street Fighter II Turbo, Super Mario Allstars, Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, Mega Man X, NHLPA Hockey 93, Pinball Fantasy, Puzzle Bubble, R-Type 3, Samurai Showdown, Super Probotector, Super Tennis, Workd Heroes.


Tips

If (for some reason) the GUI is not working, it is possible to directly launch a game from command line:

/usr/bin/drnoksnes -c /usr/games/drnoksnes.conf /game_path

Default keymap is visible in /usr/games/drnoksnes.conf

On N900, it could be useful to activate boost mode (720MHz or 805MHz).

As root:

echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost

echo 720000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

TODO

  • Try to improve sound in some games
