Overview

Funtech’s Super A’Can (1995) is a rare 16-bit console that never left Taiwan. REG-Linux groups it separately under supracan so the distinctive theme can accompany the hardware.

Technical specifications

  • Manufacturer: Funtech Entertainment
  • Release year: 1995
  • Hardware type: console

Quick reference

  • ROM folder: /userdata/roms/supracan
  • Accepted formats: .bin, .zip, .7z
  • Emulator: MAME / libretro: mame
  • System group: supracan

ROMs

Store each Super A’Can binary inside /userdata/roms/supracan. The ROM images typically come in .bin format; zipped packages may be used but keep them flat (no nested directories).

Emulator

RetroArch / MAME

Use RetroArch’s libretro: mame core or the standalone MAME binary with the supracan driver. Key options include global.mame_cpu_overclock, global.mame_altres, and any mame UI toggles you need for inputs or artwork cropping. The same socrates-style Quick Menu approach works here—open [HOTKEY] + south face button or [Tab] to edit options.

Controls

Super A’Can games rely on a straightforward D-pad and buttons set. Map them through the MAME input menu or /remapping_controls_per_emulator if you need custom bindings.

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure MAME loads the supracan software list so each title receives correct metadata.
  • If sound glitches appear, try toggling global.mame_cpu_overclock or adjusting the audio latency under the MAME options.
  • Due to preliminary sound support, some games may exhibit partial audio—document the behavior so we can improve it later.
