Thanks Michael. I'm glad you liked the demo.I personally use an original XBox controller that plugs in through USB and has a similar layout to the old Snes controllers. The Snes9x emulator can work with a lot of different game pads, and it uses the keyboard by default.
Nah, not really anything you can help with, sorry. Though I do appreciate the enthusiastic words about the project. My biggest hurdle for all of my projects is usually motivation and interest. And people being excited about a project can help me get re-motivated on it.I'll get back to this project at some point as I'd love to play some of these old games again myself, but I've got a number of other things on my plate at the moment.

Wow! I've been a bit behind on actually checking emails lately, so I just got a chance to listen to this in its entirety. It's incredible! I used to play vicariously through sighted friends on those types of games.. think I even played both of those. I'm sure we played Lufia. I miss those days, a lot. I'd love to see this go further, though I'd likely stop doing much of anything to play all those games again. lol I think snes had some of the best rpgs around. I'm curious though, do you have to get a controller with some kind of adaptive port to do that, or did you set up your keyboard to act as the controller? Also, is there any way us complete techno-barbarians could help out with that project? Things like that make me wish I had some programming skills in even one fingernail. grins On 9/30/14, Allan Thompson <allan1.thompson@xxxxxxx> wrote:Wow, that was amazing! Those games reminded me of what I used to play on the snes and genesis as well as the playstation. I think final fantasy 3 I think it was that was on the snes. There was others but it is hard to remember all of them. Anyway, thanks for showing that! It was really cool! al -----Original Message----- From: ian-reeds-games-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ian-reeds-games-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ian Reed Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2014 7:12 PM To: ian-reeds-games@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ian-reeds-games] A little demo of my Super Nintendo project with Chrono Trigger and Lufia 2 Hi all, A while ago I started a project to see if I could make Chrono Trigger, and possibly other games, accessible when played through the Snes9x emulator. I hadn't worked on this project for a while but was looking at starting it up again and thought I'd make a quick demo to show people how far it got. http://blindaudiogames.com/Downloads/ChronoLufiaDemo.mp3 It shows Chrono Trigger and Lufia 2. I'm calling the project SNAP, short for Super Nintendo Accessibility Project. Enjoy! Ian Reed
