The facts
Each one read from rust-wasm-snes's own pages, with the date it was checked.
What it does

- Audio verification
- The project compares audio output against blargg’s snes_spc reference implementation using principal-component analysis and reports 1.01× amplitude versus the reference.checked 4 Oct 2026
- Build and run
- The README documents a WebAssembly build with wasm-pack and a local Python server at http://localhost:8090.checked 4 Oct 2026
- Build targets
- The README documents a browser WebAssembly build and a native build for debug tooling, headless ROM runners, audio comparison, and benchmarking.checked 4 Oct 2026
- CPU
- The emulator implements all 256 65C816 CPU opcodes with master-cycle accuracy.checked 4 Oct 2026
- CPU and sound
- The project describes support for all 256 65C816 CPU opcodes and all 256 SPC700 opcodes, with cycle-aware timing and an S-DSP supporting eight voices and BRR decoding.checked 4 Oct 2026
- Debugging tools
- The project documents trace comparison against Mesen2 and includes tooling for waveform comparison and execution-trace diffs.checked 4 Oct 2026
- Experimental mode
- An experimental off-main-thread worker scaffold is provided and requires COOP/COEP headers for SharedArrayBuffer.checked 4 Oct 2026
- Game compatibility
- The README says A Link to the Past works with its overworld and Mode 7, while Super Mario World has a known mode-07 input stall.checked 4 Oct 2026
- Graphics
- PPU support is partial: modes 0, 1, and 3 work, while mode 7 is partial.checked 4 Oct 2026
- Graphics support
- The PPU has partial mode coverage: modes 1 and 3 work, while mode 7 is partial.checked 4 Oct 2026
- Known limits
- Mega Man X boots and plays but has broken audio; Super Mario Kart needs a DSP-1 coprocessor, and Chrono Trigger needs HiROM support.checked 4 Oct 2026
- License
- The project is licensed under MIT.checked 4 Oct 2026
- License and ROMs
