Super Mario World PC port: quick answers

Do I need to own Super Mario World?: Yes. smw-xbox needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
Is the Super Mario World PC port finished?: It is in beta: playable, with known issues. Its last update was Oct 2026, and the latest release is 1.0.1.
Which systems does it run on?: Not confirmed yet. Check the project page for the systems it supports.
Is it an emulator?: No. smw-xbox rebuilds the game's source code, so it runs as a native program instead of through an emulator.
