==Derivative versions==
* Snes9x Next is an optimized version of Snes9x 1.52 with speed hacks and is available as a libretro core for RetroArch. It has an option to overclock the SuperFX chip, making games like Star Fox run at a higher FPS.
* Snes9x for 3DS is based of 1.43, and can run non-enhancement chip games at full speed on Old 3DS models.
* 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.
* ZMZ ([https://github.com/Alcaro/ZMZ GitHub] and [http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=5681 download page]) is a version of Snes9x that uses ZNES' GUI with a Snes9x libretro back end.

==Review==
It is a very good Super Nintendo emulator, far superior to [[ZSNES]]. It has very high compatibility and is easy to use. It is not as accurate as [[higan]] but is good for systems that can't run higan at full speed. 
With that said, as of 2020 you're probably better off with [[Mesen S]] on PC because of the higher accuracy, manual PAL/NTSC switching option and easily accessible auto save states, unless you're using very old translation patches (Such as the DeJap Tales of Phantasia translation which only displays tileset vomit on Mesen-S).

==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.

'''Snes9k''' is Snes9x with [http://kaillera.com Kaillera] client support. It is based on a very old (~2005) build of Snes9x.

|-
| '''PROS''' ||
* Support for up to 8 simultaneous people playing
* No fiddling with router settings and port forwarding
* Netplay traffic is handled by a central dedicated server that helps keep things synched
* Private game chat support and public chat to speak people outside your game room
* Being able to drop out of a game at any time without disrupting (much) your teammate(s).
* Kicking/banning/muting people from your room
* It's a matchmaking service where you can join other people's rooms, too
|-
| '''CONS''' ||
* It's slightly (significantly still) prone to freezing/crashing/BSOD (in that order)
* Random, inconsistent FPS drops due to the server trying to keep everyone synched, sometimes stuttering. It's annoying, but rarely does it make it unplayable
* The emulator is based upon (Snes9x 1.42, a 10-year-old version) lacks A LOT of options, and incorrectly emulates several games (most Bishoujo Senshi, DBZ Super Butouden 2, etc.)
* Everyone needs to have the exact same ROM version or Netplay won't work (if it somehow does, it'll desynch rather quickly)
* Everyone needs to have the exact same save file, or no save file at all. Else, it desynchs
* You need to constantly switch focus back and forth between chat and emulator window in order to chat.
* You will hear no sound while the window is unfocused.

|-
| '''PROS''' ||
* Excellent connectivity between 2 players (ONLY), sometimes informally compared to GGPO's netcode efficiency.
* Basic chat support.
|-
| '''CONS''' ||
* Requires port forwarding
* The highest ping that it tolerates is around the 150ms mark, after which it starts to desynch very often
* It's slightly prone to freezing/crashing/BSOD, but to a much lesser extent than the multiplayer client
* Everyone needs to have the exact same ROM version and save file. Or else, it'll desynch or outright not work.
* Chatbox is an eyesore.
* You need to constantly switch focus back and forth between chat and emulator window in order to chat.
* You will hear no sound while the window is unfocused.
