===Mouse===
The mouse allowed control over ''Mario Paint'' and ''Mario & Wario'' among other games, though in later games mouse support was optional. Some emulators including Snes9x and 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.

'''List of recommended SNES emulators for Android:'''
* [https://www.androidauthority.com/best-snes-emulator-android-368394/ 5 best SNES emulators for Android] (AUGUST 29, 2018. Includes some emulators not found in above charts. Reviews may be subjective.)
==Emulation Enhancements==
===High Resolution Affine Transformations===
The SNES had a graphical mode called "Mode 7" that allowed scaling the first background layer. The Super-FX2 added more advanced scaling options but they're not covered by Mode 7 and therefore enhancements for it. The SNES Mode 7 background is limited to 128x128 pixels, and the output resolution is 256x240. As a result, there's heavy aliasing and a general loss of quality with some transformations. However, there have been emulator enhancements to make it look better:
* '''High resolution:''' The scaled backgrounds are rendered with subpixel precision at a higher resolution compared to the rest of the game's graphics. This may cause visual discrepancies between both.
* '''Supersampling:''' Acts like a sort of anti-aliasing for Mode 7. All graphics are rendered with the same pixel size, though scaled backgrounds are rendered in a higher resolution then processed back to the same resolution as the rest of the image, for a more uniform look. Used to be the only option in bsnes.
* '''Widescreen:''' Later added by bsnes-hd.
A fork of [[bsnes]], [https://github.com/DerKoun/bsnes-hd/releases bsnes-hd], offers active development of these features. Most of those were ported back to [[higan]].
With certain settings, there is heavy aliasing which we can reduce by increasing the sampling rate.
==Accessories==
The asciiPad is a controller by asciiWare that has similar features to the NES Advantage. Unlike the standard SNES controller, it has seven small switches that extend the way buttons are pressed. All the switches can be set to one of three modes for the standard buttons they individually represent, except for the seventh labeled "Slow" which changes the frequency of the additional modes. The switch can be set off, to turbo, and to auto. The turbo setting holds the button, and the auto setting control presses them automatically. [[higan]] is the first and only emulator known to support this specific controller's switches. Other emulators have a completely different implementation of turbo presses in their GUI, which can work for some, but not to this extent.
===Pointing Devices=======Mouse====The mouse allowed control over ''Mario Paint'' and ''Mario & Wario'' among other games, though in later games mouse support was optional. Some emulators including Snes9x and 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. ====Super Scope====
The Super Scope is a bazooka-looking light gun that is a bit more complex compared to the Zapper for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System emulators|Nintendo Entertainment System]]. ''Super Scope 6'', ''Yoshi's Safari'', ''Battle Clash'', and ''Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge'' used it. Some emulators including Snes9x and bsnes/higan support the Super Scope, emulated with the mouse.
====Konami Justifier====
Similar to the NES Zapper but differs from the Super Scope, this is another light gun but needs calibration. It looks like a real gun. It was meant to simulate the shooter arcade experience. Only one game is compatible and that is ''Lethal Enforcers''. Snes9x and higan support this gun.
