USB2SNES firmware

USB2SNES is a firmware for the SD2SNES cartridge written by Redguyy that allows to use the USB port on the SD2SNES to access various functionality of the SD2SNES.Most notable are uploading ROM, read and write various memories of the console.

The issue with this approach, when writing application that use this technology only one application can have access to the SD2SNES.So for example you cannot run an Item tracker for ALTTP randomizer at the same time than the fileviewer to upload a new ROM.

To avoid this issue, Redguyy wrote an intermediary application also called USB2SNES that other application use to talk to the SD2SNES.

So a basic usage look like that:

Emulators, SNES Classic…

Since then an alternative implementation called QUsb2Snes has added support for other backends including SNES Emulators or SNES Classic

For example Snes9x
