Mednafen is distributed under the terms of the GNU GPLv2.ĭue to the threaded model of emulation used in Mednafen, and limitations of SDL, a joystick is preferred over a keyboard to play games,Īs the joystick will have slightly less latency, although the latency differences may not be perceptible to most people. Super Nintendo Entertainment System/Super Famicom.The following systems are supported(refer to the emulation module documentation for more details): Mednafen can recordĪudiovisual movies in the QuickTime file format, with several different lossless codecs supported. Screen snapshots may be taken, in the PNG file format, at the press of a button. Save states are supported, as is real-time game rewinding. Mednafen has the ability to remap hotkey functions and virtual system inputs to a keyboard, a joystick, or both simultaneously. Skin.Mednafen is a portable, utilizing OpenGL and SDL, argument(command-line)-driven multi-system emulator. Or by manually setting the skin in config.ini: skin.name=WXGA800 On a related note, if your tablet emulator is missing the BACK/HOME buttons, try selecting WXGA800 as the Built-in skin in the AVD editor: On Mac OS and Linux you can edit all of your emulator configurations with one Terminal command:įor f in ~/.android/avd/*.avd/config.ini do echo 'hw.keyboard=yes' > "$f" done Similarly, add hw.dPad=yes if you wish to use the arrow-keys to navigate the application list. I explicitly enabled keyboard support in my emulator's config.ini file and that worked! are missing from your emulator you can set hw.mainKeys=no to enable them.Įven though the developer documentation says keyboard support is enabled by default it doesn't seem to be that way in SDK rev 20. If you notice that the soft (screen-based) main keys Back, Home, etc.

I have highlighted some of the more important configuration settings below: As of SDK rev 21 the Android Virtual Device Manager has an improved UI which resolves this issue.
