==Overview==
bsnes is a subset project of [[higan]], and focuses on performance, features, and ease of use. It returns to the Qt GUI that it abandoned before its merger with higan and has a much faster multi-threaded PPU renderer, giving it the performance of the old bsnes-balanced core while retaining the accuracy of the bsnes-accurate core. It was originally developed by [[Near]] (formerly known as byuu), but since his retirement in March 2020, it and is now maintained by the community. It is available under the GNU GPL version 3 or later.
