Switch- PSNES & PFBA Emulators updated with openGL support!

The developer Capjuste have pushed out another update to one of his most solid emulators for the Switch console-Psnes v2.1! Just like Pfba, Psnes comes in the same graphical interface along with Joycon support for two player games and save states.PSNES & PFBA

Another added bonus is that you can apply various video filters to enhance the overall graphics of each image, giving it a fresh modern look! Title images can be put into the preview folder, but it would have to match the name of the file in order for it to show in the game selection menu. Game cheats can also be applied as well which is detailed below. Take a look at the changelog below and the features.

pFBA 2.0 – OpenGL on the switch

  • use OpenGL for rendering, which allows some nicer UI effects, and of course, more power (thanks armada, fincs, subv… for there work on mesa/nouveau)
  • point filtering can now be used in any rendering size
  • add a few libretro shaders (retro-v2, scanlines, pixellate, crt easymode, crt geom, sharp bilinear, sharp bilinear scanlines, sabr v3, xbrz, supereagle). Note that some shader will work better in integer scaling (2x, 3x), and some will have a better effect with linear filtering (sharp bilinear). Also, some are very intensive (crt geom, sabr, xbrz) and may not work fullspeed in some emulators (pSNES).
  • add fps counter option

I've been a gamer ever since Nintendo first came out with their home console. I've always been intrigued by video games and electronics. The first game I beat was super Mario Bros. I'm in my mid 30s but you are never too old to play video games. I can see myself at 80 years of age still playing video games. I'm always reading and catching up on the latest gadgets, hacks and mods. I'm a family man with a wife and three beautiful daughters, life is what you make it, have fun and enjoy it to the last breath!
