![]() Its Atari 2600 emulation is well behind Stella and MAME. The Genesis emulation lacks the 100% compatibility with commercial games claimed by other emulators. Hector Martin, a friend of Near, tweeted a Google Doc detailing the events leading up to the untimely death. The GBA emulation was derived from work done in bsnes for the ST018 coprocessor and is highly accurate, but is slower and less accurate than mGBA. Near, the creator of SNES emulators bsnes and higan, has died. Other cores are less useful, with known incompatibilities and other emulators available that are both faster and more accurate. The 32x emulation has 95% compatibility with commercial games and is by far the best option for that system. Its WonderSwan and Neo Geo Pocket emulation are also the most complete and accurate, with the highest compatibility available (100% in the case of the WonderSwan). Its SNES emulation is derived from that of the original bsnes project and is the most accurate one around. Its most useful cores are the ones that have been in development the longest or that have few competing options. Near (AKA Byuu) has released Byuu, a new emulator that is meant to be his magnum opus, bringing together the precision of his Higan emulator with the ease of use of his older BSNES.Higan is famous for its extreme accuracy, and I consider it to be one of the most important and indispensable tools in a classic gaming arsenal. Most cores in ares are original and were started when the project was run by Near, although its Nintendo 64 core's graphics emulation is based on Themaister's ParaLLEl-RDP Vulkan renderer as well as MAME's software renderer, and an original Atari 2600 core was added later. ![]() The reason for this was to prevent splintering development between higan and ares. It used to be under the terms of the Creative Commons (CC) BY-NC-ND 4.0 license, which it made the ares emulator a non-commercial software that does not permit publishing modifications (forks) online. Near, also known by their username Byuu, the creator of several groundbreaking videogame emulators and a recent celebrated translation of JRPG Bahamut Lagoon, has died by suicide. It is available under the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) license, which is a permissive license that is functionally similar to the BSD and MIT licenses. It is a descendent of higan and bsnes, and focuses on accuracy and preservation.Īres began development as bsnes on October 14th, 2004. Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) licenseĪres is a free and open-source, multi-system emulator. ![]()
