About this project

A port that translates Super Metroid's original program into readable, heavily commented C#, with a managed audio engine playing the game's own music and sound from your ROM. It's playable from the opening to the ending with only minor known glitches, on Windows (the .NET runtime is bundled) and ARM64 Android phones, with gamepad or keyboard controls and save states.

What you need

Your own Super Metroid ROM, Japan/USA NTSC v1.0 (.smc or .sfc).
