Some SNES games suffered from slowdown which may be fixed in ports.
 +
 
 +
Many SNES games were ported to the GBA. These versions may have extra features, but at the cost of poorer audio and visuals. The resolution is lower, and it was never intended to be played on a full display.  The screen area may also be reduced due to the lower resolution. The audio is much lower quality than the SNES. Also, the GBA has much stronger colors to compensate for the lack of contrast in the original GBA display. To compensate, a shader or an option is needed. Additionally for controls, the gba has two fewer buttons.
 +
 
 +
Several SNES games were ported to the PlayStation. These are typically emulated, and the CD format creates long loading times. Generally it is recommended to avoid the PS1 ports for this reason and to stick with the original releases. However, in some cases the PS1 port might offer more features.

Two PSP ports exist, a mostly straight port of the PS1 version with full voice acting ("Full Voice Edition"), and a second version with heavy improvements(Narikiri Dungeon X).  The GBA port however, has every porting problem possible and should be avoided.
