Earlier this year, we saw the release of a fork of the bsnes emulator, which thanks to the efforts of DerKoun, allowed for HD upscaling of Mode 7 assets (https://gbatemp.net/threads/latest-version-of-bsnes-emulator-allows-for-hd-mode-7-upscaling.536375/) in Super Nintendo games. A few months later, the ability to emulate SNES games in widescreen (https://gbatemp.net/threads/new-update-for-mode-7-hd-bsnes-hd-emulator-available-adds-widescreen-to-certain-games.538178/) would also be added, along with supersampling modes that could go up to 10x the original resolution (https://gbatemp.net/threads/new-bsnes-hd-beta-adds-smooth-true-color-and-super-sampling-up-to-10x.546169/). Eventually, byuu, developer of bsnes, decided to officially incorporate these additions into future builds of his emulator, with further betas of the bsnes-hd emulator offering slight bugfixes and improvements. For many, these phrases and ideas can be a little hard to understand, so byuu has decided to upload a YouTube video demonstrating the changes and improvements that the HD Mode 7 feature adds, while also explaining what some of these terms mean, and do for the end user. If you're interested, you can check out the 9-minute video, linked above.


In this video I demonstrate the recent HD mode 7 functionality in bsnes, which is courtesy of DerKoun. While explaining the origin of the feature and how it works, I demonstrate the effect in real-time in Pilotwings, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Dragon Quest III. I then walk through an explanation of how to use the various HD mode 7 settings present in bsnes.
