SuperCore: SNES Emulator

SuperCore is a fast, free emulator for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).

A handful of free homebrew games are included, so you can play straight after installing,

and you can add your own game files with a couple of taps.

EASY TO GET STARTED

- Free homebrew games included: Super Sudoku, Elevator Madness DX, Castle Platformer, Pipes

and more

- Add games: tap Add games and pick files from your Downloads, or open a game file from your

file manager with SuperCore

- Or point SuperCore at a whole folder; games you add to it later show up on their own

- A short built-in guide explains every step

ACCURATE EMULATION

SuperCore is built on LakeSnes, a cycle-focused open-source SNES core. Sound is generated at

48,000 Hz and paced by your device's audio output, so picture and sound stay locked together

without the drift you get from a timer.

SAVE ANYWHERE

Ten save-state slots per game, each with a thumbnail of the moment you saved. SuperCore also

writes an automatic save state whenever you close a game, so you can always pick up exactly

where you stopped. Battery saves work exactly as the cartridge intended.

REWIND YOUR MISTAKES

Hold the rewind button to run the last few seconds backwards, let go, and try again.

CONTROLS THAT FIT YOUR HANDS

Drag every on-screen button to wherever your thumbs actually sit, and set the size and

opacity to taste. Separate layouts are remembered for portrait and landscape. Multi-touch

throughout, so holding a direction while pressing a face button works the way it should.

Diagonals on the directional pad are resolved by angle, not by rectangles, so they are

actually reachable.

USE A REAL CONTROLLER

Bluetooth and USB gamepads are supported, including analogue sticks and hat switches. Any

button can be remapped by pressing it.

EVERYTHING ELSE

- Fast forward up to 8x, and slow motion down to a quarter speed

- Reads .smc, .sfc, .fig, .swc files, and .zip archives

- Integer scaling for sharp, evenly-scaled pixels

- Material You interface with a full dark theme

- Your recent games appear as shortcuts when you long-press the app icon

A NOTE ON COMPATIBILITY

A small number of cartridges use an on-board coprocessor chip (Super FX, SA-1, DSP-1 and

similar). These are not supported and are rejected with a clear message rather than hanging

or crashing. Cartridges without such a chip, which is the large majority, are supported.

FREE, WITH ADS

SuperCore is free and supported by advertising. Ads appear on the game list and settings

screens, and occasionally when you close a game. There are never any ads while a game is

running.

A NOTE ON GAME FILES

The included games are free homebrew titles, shipped unchanged under their authors' open

licences: Super Sudoku by Raphaël Assenat (raphnet), and Elevator Madness DX, Castle

Platformer, Pipes, Bat Cave, Falling Tower, Horizontal Shooter and Unnamed Tech Demo by

undisbeliever (tech demo music by KungFuFurby). Full credits and licences are in the app

under About.

SuperCore has no way to search for or download games. To play other games, add backups of

games you legally own.
