While the original WonderSwan had only a black and white screen, the color version features 64k of RAM and a larger color LCD screen. Prior to WonderSwan's release, Nintendo had a practical monopoly in the Japanese handheld market. After the release of the WonderSwan Color, Bandai took approximately 8% of the market share in Japan, partly due to its low price. This system scrapes metadata for the "wonderswancolor" group and loads the ''wonderswancolor'' set from the currently selected theme, if available. </WRAP> <WRAP third column> {{ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fabricecaruso/es-theme-carbon/master/art/consoles/wonderswancolor.png?nolink&350 |}} </WRAP> </WRAP> ==== Quick reference ==== * **Emulator:** [[#retroarch|RetroArch]] * **Core:** [[#libretro:_mednafen_wswan|libretro: Mednafen_wswan]] * **Folder:** ''/userdata/roms/wswanc'' * **Accepted ROM formats:** ''.wsc'', ''.zip'', ''.7z'' ===== BIOS ===== No WonderSwan Color emulator in Batocera needs a BIOS file to run. ===== ROMs ===== Place your WonderSwan Color ROMs in ''/userdata/roms/wswanc''. ===== Emulators ===== ==== RetroArch ==== [[https://docs.libretro.com/|RetroArch]] (formerly SSNES), is a ubiquitous frontend that can run multiple "cores", which are essentially the emulators themselves. The most common cores use the [[https://www.libretro.com/|libretro]] API, so that's why cores run in RetroArch in Batocera are referred to as "libretro: (core name)". RetroArch aims to unify the feature set of all libretro cores and offer a universal, familiar interface independent of platform. === RetroArch configuration === RetroArch offers a **Quick Menu** accessed by pressing ''[HOTKEY]'' + {{:wiki:south.png?nolink&20|South button (B SNES)}} which can be used to alter various things like [[:advanced_retroarch_settings|RetroArch and core options]], and [[:remapping_controls_per_emulator|controller mapping]]. Most RetroArch related settings can be altered from Batocera's EmulationStation. Standardized features available to all libretro cores: ''wswanc.videomode'', ''wswanc.ratio'', ''wswanc.smooth'', ''wswanc.shaders'', ''wswanc.pixel_perfect'', ''wswanc.decoration'', ''wswanc.game_translation'' ^ ES setting name ''batocera.conf_key'' ^ Description => ES option ''key_value'' ^ ^ Settings that apply to all cores of this emulator || | **GRAPHICS BACKEND ''wswanc.gfxbackend''** | Choose your graphics rendering\\ => OpenGL ''opengl'', Vulkan ''vulkan''. | | **AUDIO LATENCY ''wswanc.audio_latency''** | Audio latency in milliseconds, turn it up if you hear crackles\\ => 256 ''256'', 192 ''192'', 128 ''128'', 64 ''64'', 32 ''32'', 16 ''16'', 8 ''8''. | | **THREADED VIDEO ''wswanc.video_threaded''** | Improves performance at the cost of latency and more video stuttering.

Mednafen's WonderSwan emulation is based on [[http://cygne.emuunlim.com/|Cygne]], modified with bug fixes and to add sound emulation. == libretro: Mednafen_wswan configuration == ===== Controls ===== Here are the default WonderSwan Color's controls shown on a [[:configure_a_controller|Batocera Retropad]]: {{ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/batocera-linux/batocera-controller-overlays/master/solid-4k/wswanc.png }} The default button mapping to the WonderSwan Color is 1-to-1 with the [[systems:gb|Nintendo Game Boy]]. You can rotate the screen with the ''[SELECT]'' button. {{ :systems:wswanc.jpg?nolink&750 |}} ===== Troubleshooting ===== ==== Further troubleshooting ==== For further troubleshooting, refer to the [[:support|generic support pages]]. systems/wswanc.txt Last modified: 23 months agoby atari
