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).

::* This makes the emulator an ideal choice for the ease-of-use factor; otherwise, better options are available.
; [[ZSNES]]
* One of the most [[History_of_emulation#NES|legendary and popular emulator back in the early emulation software era]] but nowadays its it's the least [[Emulation Accuracy|accurate]] among the active popular emulators, though it still relevant for many reasons, including:
:* Running full speed on even very old PCs such as an early Pentium 1.
:* Forming the basis for many ROM hacks, which were often designed around (let alone possible, simply because of) its problems and would break on anything else.

==Hardware features and accessories==
There weren't as many accessories that were released for the Super Famicom/SNES compared to the [[Nintendo_Entertainment_System_emulators#Hardware_features_and_accessories|Famicom/NES<ref>[[Wikipedia:List of Super Nintendo Entertainment System accessories|List of Super Nintendo Entertainment System accessories]]</ref>, but there are still quite a few to go over.
<div style="overflow-x:auto;width:100%">
The mouse allowed for control in [[wikipedia:Mario_Paint|''Mario Paint'']] and [[wikipedia:Mario_%26_Wario|''Mario & Wario'']], among other games. Though in later games, mouse support was optional. Some emulators, including Snes9x and [https://github.com/ares-emulator/ares/issues/224#issuecomment-939579324 ares]/bsnes/higan, support the Mouse. A ROM hack for ''Mario & Wario'' replaces mouse controls with traditional controls for the emulators that don't support this feature.
