Follow this short guide:
๐Ÿ”— Installation Guide

๐Ÿ’ฅ gpSP (GBA) โ€“ Massive Performance Boost

A lot of GBA games now run close to full speed on the GB300/SF2000.

  • Advance Wars, Kirby Nightmare, Mario World, and more are now 60 FPS or nearly there.
  • 3D-heavy games like Tony Hawk also benefit and can hit 40โ€“60 FPS!
  • Fixed graphical glitches caused by earlier optimizations (e.g. animation bugs in Advance Wars).

This is a highly recommended update if youโ€™re playing GBA games.

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Frodo (C64) โ€“ Border Cropping

Frodo now auto-crops screen borders!
You can fine-tune the overscan cropping using the .opt file for a cleaner C64 experience.

๐ŸŽฎ Nestopia (NES) โ€“ Now Usable for Rare Games

Nestopia has better performance now when used with frameskip = 1.
Useful as a fallback for rare or unsupported games that donโ€™t work well with NESQ.
