Super Nintendo Roms (SNES Games)

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System was Nintendo's second home console, following the Nintendo Entertainment System (often abbreviated to NES, released as the Famicom in Japan). Whereas the earlier system had struggled in Europe and large parts of Asia the SNES proved to be a global success, albeit one that could not match its predecessor's popularity in South East Asia and North America - due in part to increased competition from Sega's Mega Drive console (released in North America as the Genesis). Despite its relatively late start, the SNES became the best selling console of the 16-bit era but only after its competitor Sega had pulled out of the 16-bit market to focus on its 32-bit next generation console. 3241 super nintendo rom 2200 rom de super nintendo 1927 free super nintendo roms 1373 super nintendo rom download 1155 super nintendo emulator roms 608 super nintendo rom downloads.

Super Nintendo Enhancement chips

• SuperFX Developed by Argonaut. The Super FX chip is a supplemental RISC CPU for the main SNES CPU. The chip was primarily used to create 3D worlds made by shaded polygons, texture mapping and light source shading. It was used in Star Fox and Stunt Race FX. The SuperFX2, which followed soon after used two SuperFX cores on a single chip each with a speed of 10.5 MHz that worked together in tandem. While the chip most commonly associated with 3D, it was also used to enhance 2D games such as Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Some other carts that the chip can be found in are Doom, Dirt Trax FX, Vortex, and Winter Gold. A number of the games designed to use it were never released, such as Star Fox 2, FX Fighter, and an early version of Super Mario 64.
• SA-1 chip 65c816 8/16-bit processor, clocked at 10 MHz. It contains some extra circuits developed by Nintendo, which includes some fast RAM, a memory mapper, DMA, several real-time timers, and the region lockout chip. The SA-1 was a multipurpose chip that could be found in games such as Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dream Land 3, and Super Mario RPG.
• DSP1 chip The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chip was created to generate more enhanced Mode 7 rotation and scaling effects using floating-point processing. The chip can be found in Pilot Wings and Super Mario Kart.
• DSP2 chip A more advanced DSP chip developed by Seta that increases the SNES´s speed from 3.58 MHz to 8 MHz. The chip was created for Seta's own F1 Race of Champions.
• SDD1 chip Other than its normal processing and copy protection duties, this chip was primarily a memory compression chip. This allowed games to be bigger than normal by compressing the data. Games that used this chip were Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Star Ocean.
• C4 chip A chip created by Capcom. This chip was used to create enhanced transparency effects such as rain and water. The chip was used in Mega Man X2 and Mega Man X3.

First to give you an idea about how roms are made - read about making gba roms!

Connect GBA Cartridge to PC
You have to have a way to connect gameboy cartridge to the PC. For that you can you Flash Advance Linker or FA Linker Xtreme. Regular linker connects to Printer port when Xtreme can be connected to both printer port or USB.

Save game data on PC as *.GBA file
When you have FA Linker connected you can use Flash Advance Writer, Little Writer or Flash Xtreme writer software to save the game from the cartridge on to your PC Hard Drive. It will be saved as .GBA file. Most roms are 4MB or 8MB
(1 Mega Byte on PC = 8 Mega Bits on Cartridge)

Play backuped games on PC or GB
When you have backuped the game on the PC you can Play it with one of the Gameboy Emulators or you can send it a ReWritable Flash Advance card and play it on another Gameboy. Because Flash Advance Cards are bigger than regular GBA Cartridges you can make compilation of say 8 of your favorite games and write them to one 256M FA Card.

In short - this is how most of the gameboy advance roms that you can download from the internet are made. As you can see - the main purpose of roms (and FA Linker) is not to play then on PC's using Emulators, but to use them as backups of your original games. Of course if you have made a backup of your game you can play it PC if you like..
