News Star Fox Will Take Advantage Of The New Super FX 3 Chip, Will Feature Rumble Support

​

There was a pretty huge development in the world of SNES games recently, with the announcement that one of the people behind the console's Doom port,@RandalLinden, is involved with Limited Run's new conversation of the game, which will offer better performance, improved controls and force feedback rumble support – the latter coming via a special controller.

All of this is made possible by Linden's Super FX 3 chip, an evolution of the Super FX hardware created by British company Argonaut back in the '90s.

As you might imagine, many people have been asking if other games will be able to (unofficially) benefit from this chip, and we've already had the first confirmation – look out for a patch which can be used with flash carts like the FXPak Pro soon:

Star Fox EX, in case you were wondering, is an unofficial expansion of the original 1993 Star Fox.

It will be interesting to see how the Super FX 3 improves the base game, which, although very impressive for its time, is plagued with a sluggish frame rate. As Kando confirms, the improved chip will allow for "fewer wait states, more processing speed, more ROM space," which should make for a more enjoyable experience.
