The '''[[gametech:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]''' (SNES) is a 16-bit, fourth-generation home video game console released by [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] originally released as the '''Super Famicom''' (SFC), in Japan, on November 21, 1990. The Super Famicom retailed for ¥25000. The console would release outside of Japan as the SNES on August 23, 1991, in North America. The SNES retailed for {{Inflation|USD|199.99|1991}}. It has a Ricoh 5A22 CPU at 3.58 MHz. While the Super Famicom did well in Japan, outselling the [[PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16) emulators|PC Engine]], outside of Japan during that time the SNES had ''fierce'' competition with SEGA's [[Sega Genesis emulators|Genesis]] (known in other regions as the Mega Drive).

:* Sporting an iconic DOS-centric GUI.
* While fans have since modded the binaries (including patching out the vulnerability), the project is basically dead.
* Older versions rely on external pre-decompressed graphical packs to emulate some games with elaborate chips, much like older versions of Snes9x, such as 1.43. Assuming you get (what are now rare and very hard-to-find) graphical packs for the SPC7110—like from [http://other.ipherswipsite.com/gpacks/ here]—and Star Ocean and put them in folders you then set under "Paths" in ZSNES, they can be playable without missing graphics. With that being said, however, the newest version does not need them for SDD-1 titles, only for SPC7110 titles.
* Viable alternatives are bZSNES (for ZSNES-centric ROM hacks), ZMZ (for the UI), NO$SNS, or older versions of Snes9x (for speed boosts tailored to old systems). Otherwise, choose any of the others like bsnes/ares/higan, or Snes9x (for better compatibility).
