 ====== Bandai WonderSwan ======
 The WonderSwan is a handheld game console released in Japan by Bandai. It was developed by Gunpei Yokoi's company Koto Laboratory and Bandai, and was the last piece of hardware Yokoi developed before his death in 1997. Released in 1999 in the fifth generation of video game consoles, the WonderSwan and its two later models, the WonderSwan Color and SwanCrystal were officially supported until being discontinued by Bandai in 2003. During its lifespan, no variation of the WonderSwan was released outside of Japan.

 ===== Emulators =====
+==== RetroArch ====
-==== libretro/mednafen_wswan ====
+[[https://docs.libretro.com/|RetroArch]] (formerly SSNES), is a ubiquitous frontend that can run multiple "cores", which are essentially the emulators themselves. The most common cores use the [[https://www.libretro.com/|libretro]] API, so that's why cores run in RetroArch in Batocera are referred to as "libretro: (core name)". RetroArch aims to unify the feature set of all libretro cores and offer a universal, familiar interface independent of platform.
-Batocera uses the standalone port [[https://github.com/libretro/beetle-wswan-libretro|Beetle Cygne]] based on Mednafen. Mednafen's WonderSwan emulation is based on [[http://cygne.emuunlim.com/|Cygne]], modified with bug fixes and to add sound emulation.
+=== RetroArch configuration ===
-===== ROMs =====
+RetroArch offers a **Quick Menu** accessed by pressing ''[HOTKEY]'' + {{:wiki:south.png?nolink&20|South button (B SNES)}} which can be used to alter various things like [[:advanced_retroarch_settings|RetroArch and core options]], and [[:remapping_controls_per_emulator|controller mapping]]. Most RetroArch related settings can be altered from Batocera's EmulationStation.
-Place your WonderSwan ROMs in ''/userdata/roms/wswan/''.
+Standardized features available to all libretro cores: ''wswan.videomode'', ''wswan.ratio'', ''wswan.smooth'', ''wswan.shaders'', ''wswan.pixel_perfect'', ''wswan.decoration'', ''wswan.game_translation''
+^ ES setting name ''batocera.conf_key'' ^ Description => ES option ''key_value'' ^
+^ Settings that apply to all cores of this emulator ||

+=== libretro: Mednafen_wswan ===
+Batocera uses the standalone port [[https://github.com/libretro/beetle-wswan-libretro|Beetle Cygne]] based on Mednafen. Mednafen's WonderSwan emulation is based on [[http://cygne.emuunlim.com/|Cygne]], modified with bug fixes and to add sound emulation.

 The default button mapping to the WonderSwan is 1-to-1. It has the exact button layout as a [[systems:gb|Nintendo Game Boy]]. You can rotate the screen with the ''Select'' button.
