I'd like to see an SNES accuracy test. Any plans on doing that?

Know of anyone who put together a slew of accuracy tests?

Uh, you mean like this? Also, I don't think this thread belongs here. The BizHawk or SNES Emulators subforums would be a much better place for this thread.

Moved to SNES Emulators. And I'm pretty sure the topic creator means like this: Wiki: EmulatorResources/NESAccuracyTests
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

How can there be NES accuracy tests that a NES powerpak fails? Or am I misreading this?

It fails it, because the powerpak does its own operations on load, and therefore the starting state once the cart starts is not identical to that of an NES with no preloaders.

Those are not accuracy tests, they're examples.

I found out there's a handful of SNES accuracy tests on Blargg's site here: http://blargg.8bitalley.com/parodius/snes-tests/ It's not a whole lot, but it looks like it's something.

Yeah those are a few I guess. There's also three official test carts which each offer a variety of tests.

Mega Man X2 and 3 also have several tests performed when you press B on controller two on game load. Far East of Eden Zero, Momotarou Dentetsu Happy, and Super Power League 4 also have tests on first game load. Although between all these, it's not that many tests, and hardly too much in-depth like some of the other emulation pages offer. However, it is something.

There is a work-in-progress SNES accuracy testing list now: Wiki: EmulatorResources/SNESAccuracyTests
