Nintendo - SNES / Famicom (bsnes C++98 (v085))¶

Background¶

bsnes c++98 is a special fork from around v085 that's been backported to work with older compilers. Many platforms Libretro supports such as various consoles (PlayStation 3) are stuck with super-old compilers that don't support the latest c++ features that are in the newer bsnes v094 ports.

There's no reason to use this core now expect for edge cases on less compatible platforms.
