==Overview==
===bsnes-hd===
[https://github.com/DerKoun/bsnes-hd bsnes-hd] (formally "HD Mode 7 mod, for bsnes") is a newer fork of bsnes (released in 2019 by DerKoun) that adds HD video features, such as:
* '''HD Mode 7''' - – Rendering the rotated, scaled or pseudo perspective backgrounds at higher resolutions. This does not involve new custom imagery or upscaling algorithms. It is a higher resolution version of the process the SNES uses.* '''Widescreen''' - – Extending the scenes to the left and right, without distorting them. Works for most Mode 7 scenes, but also for some other scenes/games, after some setting tweaking.* '''Some non-HD related features''' - – Like the ability to disable background layers, sprites and window effects for screenshots for wallpapers or soft crop to zoom in, leaving maps or static art off the sides of the screen.
Some of the features of this fork are or will be included in official bsnes. The difference is that official bsnes only has slight visual improvements but with mostly perfect compatibility. bsnes-hd has more hacks that give true HD in mode 7 SNES games and widescreen in other games.
===nSide===
'''[https://githubgitlab.com/hex-usr/nSide nSide]''' is a fork of higan that, among other things, adds support for more boards such as the Atari 2600 as well as peripherals and the VS. UniSystem to the NES core. It also retains the SNES Balanced core and thus makes available new improvements to higan, such as the WASAPI driver and the IIR-Biquad interpolation filter, to users whose computers cannot run the Accuracy core-only releases from higan v098 onwards with full speed.
