The Super FX2 chip allowed for the scaling and rotating of sprites, as well as other effects found in the game, like the huge doors that crush Yoshi in castles to the rotating platforms, as well as several boss fights. As for the MARIO chip name, it stands for Mathematical, Argonaut, Rotation, & Input/Output.

[@andytheawesome7592]

Well, more commonly, it’s just all the rotation effects. The SNES couldn’t rotate or resize images except under extremely specific circumstances, but the Super FX chip made it possible whenever. So things like the rollable boulders used it.

[@tech6hutch]

@@andytheawesome7592 are those specific circumstances things like mode 7?

[@otozinclus3593]

Thats wrong, the LSD effect was supported by barebone Hardware. Its a feature which allowed the SNES to know at what line of Pixels the screen currently renders the image and depending on the line, it moves the screen differently creating this wobbly effect. The Fx chip also has a very limited amount of pixels it can render, it would not be capable for it to render the entire background The Super FX Chip was used for rotation. The SNES was unable to rotate Sprites, it was totally impossible for the device. Everything that rotates used a different highly specific workaround (like rotating an entire layer, which ofcause effects everything so not suited for singular objects) Yoshis Island has *everything* rotating. The game is full of rotating sprites, they are everywhere. Thats what the Super FX chip is for, to render these

[@johnnyp1986]

I want u to know when I was younger my brother-in-law hacked a psp to play emulators and one of the games was Yoshi’s island. The rom worked perfectly fine up until the level with the dandelions that fall from the sky and if you touch them Yoshi gets dizzy. Upon starting the level, the screen was just like a white and pinkish color and so you could not see anything. So I had to beat the level blind basically which idk how 7 year old me did but I managed to beat it and the rest of the game played smoothly again 😂

The good ol' S-DD1 chip used for graphics compression, allowed for more storage space. This is why Star Ocean has a vocal track during the intro, and some voice acting too. The chip was also used in Street Fighter Alpha 2, but it caused some issues with the audio, which is why there is a slight pause before matches begin as the audio needed time to load.

[@soundspark]

@@FG-bn3qq Didn't it turn out the pause was just caused by how the game loaded data into the sound processor? S-DD1 was only for graphics compression; all SPC700 stuff was stock SNES hardware. Tales of Phantasia has a vocal soundtrack in the intro but doesn't use any expansion chips.

Most of those portable devices have trouble because of one or two things. 1. The CPU in them is extremely underpowered. IMO, even if they are weak, I remember playing this game 20 years ago on a cheap low end desktop PC, 15 years ago on a cheap low end laptop, and on the wii. And furthermore, this game is playable on the 3ds, even the o3ds if you use the snes9x and not the official vc version. I also remember it technically being playable on an old ds flashcart. Still, despite this being less likely, a lot of cheap handhelds do come out with bottom of the barrel CPUs in them that apparently struggle to compete with 20 year old low end CPUs. They pick these due to how cheap they are and due to them consuming little to no power compared to more powerful CPUs (even mobile CPUs). 2. More likely the reason is that most of those handhelds are built using outdated (or too accurate) emulator cores. Most of them likely use retroarch or some other frontend for their own emulation cores and due to how many cheap devices come out looking the same, often also coming with their own roms/isos (that they are totally legally allowed to distribute....). With snes, there are several different emulator cores in retroarch and the older builds are often used by people running it on older low end hardware. So it's possible they are using a really old build made before Yoshi's Island could be properly emulated. Or they are using a newer core that the hardware can't properly handle. Either way, the saying that you get what you pay for seems to hold true.

[@patsk8872]

Your 20 year old PC had an Intel or AMD x86 architecture chip with a large instruction set. Most of the handhelds run phone chips with Android. It's not just that they are "weak" but a different architecture and OS, and that the emulators haven't been worked on enough yet. Case in point the recent huge upgrade to emulation/fps on the RP3+

[@GameBlock_]

In some of the levels there are multiple rotating platforms. These are actually fully modeled with polygons, and even though they’re just rectangular prisms they needed special hardware to render properly

[@alnea]

Just has a specialized component that if an emulator can emulate it correctly it will run the rest of the games at the optimal level...basically he takes the most demanding game and check the program against it

[@otozinclus3593]

Its the rotation. The SNES cant rotate Sprites, sereosly. Every single sprite that rotates has to be rendered by the FX chip. There are some other things which use the chip as well, but all the rotating sprites is the main thing what it is for. Thats why it rather looks like a modern pixel Art game, instead of an SNES game, because it could evade all of the Hardware limitations of the SNES with the super FX Chip
