What is PVSnesLib ?

PVSnesLib

PVSnesLib is an open and free library to develop programs for the Nintendo SNES using the C programming language.

Created initially for the 20th birthday of the Nintendo SNES, it has been evolved a lot and is now mainly coded in assembler for performances reasons. It is also directly usable in asm for those who do not want to use C language but without rewriting everything from scratch.

PVSneslib content is split in 3 parts

  • The library itself.
  • The tools and compiler (compatible on Windows, Linux and MacOS operating systems)
  • The examples (sprites, sound, graphics, debug, ...)

You can download the complete archive in release section then check the Wiki sections to get installation instructions and basics tutorials.
