I played this for a while and I did indeed enjoy the experience. I admit, it will be a bit weird at first to experience Super Mario World in a wide aspect ratio but after a while of playing this, going back to standard aspect ratio will be a bit jarring. Super Mario World will now run in a widescreen format on the SteamDeck, or Linux machine, quite happily. Next, select Load Content and navigate to the location of the Patched ROM. Scan down until you find Nintendo – SNES / SFC (bsnes-hd beta) and select the core. On RetroArch you will have to load the appropriate core. You can put it wherever it makes sense for you, of course. run/media/mmcblk0p1/steamapps/vintage/SNES/patched/SMW/ In my case, I have this folder on my SD card so I copied it here: If you are using the Flatpak, I believe it can reside anywhere. If you have performed this on the SteamDeck, you will have to ensure you copy this patched folder to a location that the Steam version of RetroArch can access. I have called them both “Super Mario World Extra Wide Raw.” In my case, I have made a folder called “Super Mario Widescreen” for storage of this project and subfolder called files for the patched ROM.Ĭopy the file called smw-extrawide-raw.bso from the same zip to the same location as the patched ROM and rename both the ROM and BSO file to have the exact same name. Save that to a location you can return to. Adjacent the “Patch file:” select Browse and locate the smw-extrawide-raw.bps file. Next to “ROM file:” select Browse and locate the Super Mario Word ROM. Navigate to this site use this patching utility: For the purposes of the SteamDeck and emulation usage of this ROM, the patch that worked fantastically well for me is the file labeled: smw-extrawide-raw.bpsįor more details on the various options. In that folder you will see a number of files. Unpack that zip on your computer or SteamDeck, whichever you choose to perform this process. Next, navigate to this Github page and download this zip file labeled smw-widescreen-v111.zip: Be sure you are using a file ending in “SMC” not “SMR” as that is something else. The name of the file should be something like “Super Mario World.smc”. This will not work with the Super Mario All-Stars ROM. Patch the ROMīefore you begin, you will have to have a copy of the Super Mario World game ROM. I will not provide any links to those as I would like to keep my website online. I am also assuming you have a Super Mario World ROM. Feel free to contact me but I am quite sure that there are already some great resources out there. If this is something you would like me to do a detailed write-up. I am assuming that you know how to install RetroArch and know how and where to transfer the files to your device to allow you to run vintage game console ROMs. I am focusing on the SteamDeck for the hand-held gaming experience as since I got the thing, I have become quite the fan of using it for gaming over my laptop or desktop systems. I have tested this on the SteamDeck and on my openSUSE Tumbleweed Linux machine using the RetroArch flatpak. After a few tries, I now have it figured out with repeatable results for the SteamDeck or other machines running RetroArch. I have seen this done elsewhere but wanted to do this for myself. I have loaded it up with many of my retro games and one of my favorites to play on it is Super Mario World but in a widescreen format. The SteamDeck is a great retro gaming platform.
