* There ''are'' systems Mednafen emulates well and very accurately, but the SNES is not exactly one of them. At that point, it's worth using bsnes or its libretro cores instead.

:''See also [[ZSNES#Review|the review]].''

* The least accurate of the bunch but still relevant for many reasons.

'''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.)

==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.

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.

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.

Many of these games had Soundlink features and would have assets like streamed music and voice acting, as well as some extra data, but these have been lost forever outside of video recordings and OST releases. These games will likely play without music on your emulator. The entirely fan-made MSU-1 feature on the higan emulator tries to replicate the BS-X Satellaview and unreleased SNES-CD concept for streamed music in SNES games far beyond the maximum cartridge capacity (12MB), but it's not the same thing.

bsnes-sx2 and snes9x-sx2 are recommended. They use your PC clock with no option to modify it, though. SNESGT had the option to modify the clock, but it wasn't updated for a while and isn't really recommended for SNES emulation in general. No$SNS has good BS-X emulation (and the best debugger tools for ROM hackers and translators) but falls behind the others when it comes to general emulation.

Whenever you open a BS-X compatible ROM (that wasn't modified to behave like a normal SNES game, like most BS Zelda translations were), you'll be greeted by the BIOS software. It will ask you to choose your name and avatar, which you can control in a city. Of course, the St-GIGA broadcast service went defunct in 2000, so the big radio tower will just give you a "Hello Satellaview" test broadcast. However, you may be interested in seeing how Nintendo used to do loading screens. To see them without them shutting down instantly, open <code>BSX0001-47.bin</code> (bsxdat folder) in a hex editor and change offset <code>0x06</code> from <code>0x30</code> to <code>0x00</code>. Most houses will be closed, though.
