*Snes9xTYL(mecm)/cm Mod is a port of Snes9x 1.39 to PSP. Inaccuracies everywhere, especially with sound, but it's the best thing available for PSP for SNES emulation. Use the mecm build where possible, unless you use the PSP emulator on Vita, in which case use the cm build.

==Review==
 
==Review==
Snes9x was birthed from a merger of Gary Henderson's Snes96 and Jerremy Koot's Snes97; both were among the earliest SNES emulation efforts, starting all the way back in the 1990s like [[ZSNES]] did. Modern Snes9x, however, is far superior to ZSNES and is currently one of the most comprehensive Super Nintendo emulators available. It has very high compatibility and is easy to use, and while it might not be as accurate as [[bsnes]] or [[ares]], it's still a good choice for systems that can't run either of those at full speed.<br />
+
It is a very good SNES emulator, far superior to [[ZSNES]]. It has very high compatibility and is easy to use. It is not as accurate as [[higan]], but that shouldn't be an issue for most people. The stable release is very old, so use the '''latest dev build''' instead. One of the developers, OV2, hosts his own builds. Link above.
With that said, as of 2023 you're probably better off with [[Mesen|Mesen 2.x]] on PC because of the higher accuracy, manual PAL/NTSC switching option and easily accessible auto save states. Some very old translation patches could cause issues with the older [[Mesen S]] fork (one such example is the DeJap Tales of Phantasia translation, which only displayed tileset vomit on Mesen S), but Mesen 2.x seems to be overcoming those issues.
 
  
 
==Problems and solutions==
 
==Problems and solutions==
Snes9x has issues with XInput (such as with [[SCP Driver Package|XInput Wrapper SCP]]), particularly recognizing diagonals on the d-pad and analog R2/L2 presses. The solution is to either input them manually or edit the .conf file and add in (J0)POV Up Right, (J0)POV Dn Right, etc. for the diagonal inputs.

Snes9x stopped recognizing diagonals and joystick/R2/L2 input? Snes9x has issues with XInput(such as with [[SCP Driver Package|XInput Wrapper SCP]]). The solution is to edit the .conf file and add in (J0)POV Up Right, (J0)POV Dn Right, etc. for the diagonal inputs.
