'''Snes9x''' is a [[Super Nintendo emulators|Super Famicom (SNES)]] emulator written in C++. It is also available as a [[libretro ]] core for [[RetroArch]].

==Review==
It is a very good SNES 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. The stable release is very old, so use the latest dev build instead. One of the developers, OV2, hosts his own builds. Link above.

* 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 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 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.

| '''PROS''' ||
* Excellent connectivity between 2 players (ONLY), sometimes informally compared to GGPO's netcode in efficiency.
* Basic chat support.
|-
* 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.
* Chat box 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.
