{{for|other emulators that run on SNES hardware|Emulators on SNES}} The '''[[gametech:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]''' (SNES) is a 16-bit, fourth-generation home video game console released by [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] originally released as the '''Super Famicom''' (SFC), in Japan, on November 21, 1990. The Super Famicom retailed for ¥25000. The console would release outside of Japan as the SNES on August 23, 1991, in North America. The SNES retailed for {{Inflation|USD|199.99|1991}}. It has a Ricoh 5A22 CPU at 3.58 MHz. While the Super Famicom did well in Japan, outselling the [[PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16) emulators|PC Engine]], outside of Japan during that time the SNES had ''fierce'' competition with SEGA's [[Sega Genesis emulators|Genesis]] (known in other regions as the Mega Drive). Emulation for the Super Famicom/SNES is robust, with several high -quality emulators for various systems, with some even being of which are [[Emulation Accuracy|cycle -accurate]].

It predates the performance/balanced/accuracy profiles as far back as 2010. However, this version is much faster than current higan versions. Mednafen has another core for SNES emulation (SNES-Faust).:* It's missing many of the improvements to the LLE audio engine that newer versions of Snes9x and higan have.:* It also lacks many of the updates to edge cases, such as [[wikipedia:A.S.P._Air_Strike_Patrol|''A.S.P.

It doesnalso has problems rendering text, flickering lines near the bottom, and displaying shadows during flight.* There ''are'' systems Mednafen emulates well and very accurately, but the SNES is not one of them. At that point, you'd be better off using standalone bsnes.; [[Mesen]] / [[Mesen S]] / Mesen SX* [[Mesen S]] is launched in April 2019 from the same author of the top-class NES/Famicom emulator [[Mesen|Mesen 1]]. It was slated to have similar features as its famous forebearer. [[Mesen|Mesen (with 2.0 version)]] is a multi-system emulator from the original author that continues active development.* Users who increasingly tire of higan's and bsnes' limited user options and cumbersome ROM and save files management may gravitate towards [[Mesen]] sooner or later, which should run nicely in users't game systems alongside Snes9x or Mednafen (or similar peer).; [[Nintendo Switch Online]]* SNES support any cartwas added to Nintendo Switch Online in September 2019 alongside NES games.* [[Emulation Accuracy|Accuracy]] is not the greatest and users are limited to the selection of games Nintendo chooses to make available on the service.* Supports up to 2 players in both Local and Online modes, despite being titles with actual 4-chips player support included (e.g.: ''Super Puyo Puyo 2'').* Different games between regions (SuperFXJapan and International).* Despite its shortcomings, DSPthe emulator is lauded for its inclusion of [https://twitter.com/FalKoopa_/status/1283923231926128640 rollback netplay].:* Netplay is generally hassle-1free and doesn't require forwarding of any ports, Cx4with users able to simply invite anyone on their Switch friend lists (as long as they also have a valid subscription).::* This makes the emulator an ideal choice for the ease-of-use factor; otherwise, etcbetter options are available.); [[ZSNES]]* One of the most [[History_of_emulation#NES|legendary and popular emulator back in the early emulation software era]] but nowadays its the least [[Emulation Accuracy|accurate]] among the active popular emulators, but though it still relevant for many reasons, including::* Running full speed on even very old PCs such as an early Pentium 1.:* Forming the Old 3DSbasis for many ROM hacks, itwhich were often designed around (let alone possible, simply because of) its problems and would break on anything else.:* Having tons of bugs and not even emulating some of the original console's operations which some fewer notable games needed.::* One of these bugs was an <abbr title="arbitrary code execution">ACE</abbr> vulnerability that, if discovered in the emulator's prime, would've allowed a maliciously designed ROM to run its own code on the best option so farhost machine.

Assuming you get (what are now rare and very hard-to-find) graphical packs for the SPC7110—like from [http://wikiother.gbatempipherswipsite.netcom/wikigpacks/BlargSnes_Compatibility_List here]—and Star Ocean and put them in folders you then set under "Paths" in ZSNES, they can be playable without missing graphics. With that being said, however, the newest version does not need them for SDD-1 titles, only for SPC7110 titles.* Viable alternatives are bZSNES (for ZSNES-centric ROM hacks), ZMZ (for the UI), NO$SNS, or older versions of Snes9x (for speed boosts tailored to old systems). Otherwise, choose any of the others like bsnes/ares/higan, or Snes9x (for better compatibility).

It's a custom fan-made hardware specification for an additional chip, eventually made available and working with real SNES hardware as the SD2SNES flashcard. It's the closest to the SNES-CD that you'll ever get. No more 12 MB maximum cartridge size limitation! One inconvenience is that most emulators don't really support this specification. It's currently supported by the weakest ISD2SNES flashcard, bsnes (v075 and up), higan (v094 and up), and Snes9x (1.55 and up). These hacks simply won've seen t work at all in other emulators unless their developers implement an MSU-1 check to let the game run in these emulators without the MSU-1 enhancements (the balanced version full speed MSU-1 specification has a specific feature to allow for most compatibility testing). To load the MSU-1 patched gameswith higan or bsnes:# Patch the original SNES ROM with the IPS patch# Make sure to copy <code>manifest.bml</code> and the PCM files (generated with <code>create_pcm.bat</code>, often found included with the sound pack) in the same directory as the ROM#* Balanced worksMake sure it's <code>%USERPROFILE%\Emulation\Super Famicom\</code> in the case of higan, and follow the readme included to know what names to use# Launch with higan/bsnes.To load the MSU-1 patched games with Snes9x: ''(See [https://docs.libretro.com/library/snes9x/#msu-1-support this page] for libretro core version)''# Patch the original SNES ROM with the IPS patch# Copy the patched ROM file, any MSU image file, and the PCM files (generated with <code>create_pcm.

The result is a method of removing slowdown in just about any SNES game, without any framerate or pitch distortion, and without harming compatibility in 99% of games (even streaming audio games such as Tales of Phantasia work as expected.) The [[Wikipedia:List_of_Super_NES_enhancement_chips#SA1|SA-1]] and SuperFX can also be overclocked in this way.The other coprocessors ([[Wikipedia:List_of_Super_NES_enhancement_chips#DSP-1|DSP-1]], [[Wikipedia:List_of_Super_NES_enhancement_chips#Cx4|Cx4]], etc) support HLE which results in all of their operations occurring.<ref>[https://gbatemp.net/threads/bsnes-and-mesen-s-add-newly-developed-snes-overclocking-method.545475/ bsnes and Mesen-S add newly developed SNES overclocking method]</ref>

bsnes-sx2 and snes9x-sx2 ===Mode 7 scaling bilinear filtering===Some older versions of SNES9X offered bilinear filtering for Mode 7 backgrounds, making them smoother/blurrier instead of pixelated as they 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 scaled instead of just applying the best debugger tools for romhackers and translators) but falls behind bilinear filter on the others when it comes to general emulationvideo output itself.

==Data Pack Emulation==Also known as DLC for Another thing to note is that there's a redesigned model, only released in Japan, called the ''Super Famicom - not only Game Boy 2''. Compared to the original, the main feature the old Megadrive could do SGB2 adds is a link cable connection, allowing for connectivity with normal Game Boys or even with other SGB2s. It also uses its lock-own oscillator to be able to run games at normal speed, fixing a slight overclocking issue that stemmed from the original SGB's reliance on thing! (incrediblethe clock signal from the SNES. higan can run in ''Super Game Boy 2'' mode, but link cable connections are not possible yet, isn't it?) not even with other Game Boy emulators that can emulate a link cable.

Data Packs ===asciiPad===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 Satellaview 8M Memory Packs which have data meant pressed. All the switches can be set to be used as expansion one of three modes for the standard buttons they individually represent, except for a Data Pack-compatible game. Data Pack-compatible game cartridges look like the BS-X Cartridgeseventh labeled "Slow" which changes the frequency of the additional modes. For most of these gamesThe switch can be set to off, turbo, Data was distributed via Stand auto.GIGA’s Satellaview streaming servicesThe turbo setting holds the button, and the auto setting control presses them automatically. Same Game [[higan]] is the first and SD Gundam G-Next had 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 Data Packs sold in physical retail form in stores. RPG Tsukuru 2, Sound Novel Tsukuru and Ongaku Tsukuru Kanaderu could save user-created data but not to 8M Memory Packsthis extent.

===Pointing Devices=======Mouse====The games which were compatible with Data Packs aremouse allowed for control in [[wikipedia:Mario_Paint|''Mario Paint'']] and [[wikipedia: Same GameMario_%26_Wario|''Mario & Wario'']], Derby Stallion 96among other games. Though in later games, RPG Tsukuru 2mouse support was optional. Some emulators, Sound Novel Tsukuru, Ongaku Tsukuru Kanaderu, Joushou Mahjong Tenpai, SD Gundam Gincluding Snes9x and [https://github.com/ares-emulator/ares/issues/224#issuecomment-NEXT939579324 ares]/bsnes/higan, and Shigesato Itoi no Bass Tsuri Nosupport the Mouse. 1A ROM hack for ''Mario & Wario'' replaces mouse controls with traditional controls for the emulators that don't support this feature.

Two ====Super Scope====The Super Scope is a bazooka-looking light gun that is a bit more complex than the Zapper for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System emulators |Nintendo Entertainment System]]. [[wikipedia:Super_Scope_6|''Super Scope 6'']], [[wikipedia:Yoshi%27s_Safari|''Yoshi's Safari'']], [[wikipedia:Battle_Clash|''Battle Clash'']], and [[wikipedia:Metal_Combat:_Falcon%27s_Revenge|''Metal Combat: Falcon's Revenge'']] used it. Some emulators including Snes9x and bsnes/higan support this feature:the Super Scope, emulated with the mouse.

* '''Snes9X:''' Under "File/Load Multi Cart..."====Konami Justifier====Similar to the NES Zapper, choose but differs from the base game for "Slot A" and the expansion pack for "Slot B"Super Scope. It's a another light gun, but requiring calibration this time around. It looks like a real gun and then was intended to simulate the BS-X BIOS fileshooter arcade experience. The combined Only one game variant should open. Most Memory Pack games should work this way but some are unemulated for various reasons - itis compatible, and that's one of the last overlooked areas in SNES emulation after all.* [[wikipedia:Lethal_Enforcers|''Lethal Enforcers'bsnes-sx2:''' Under "File/Load Slotted BS-X Cartridge"]]. However, due to how the emulator doesn't have a "Show files from all extensions" option, Snes9x and an oversight during development, the expansion pack file can't be selected. Due to higan support this, current versions can't go in-gamegun.

==MSU-1 Hack Emulation (SNES-CD like Hacks)=====SNESVoice-CDkun===It's wellA few games by Koei shipped with an Audio-known enough CD that typically contained voice acting and supported the Super Famicom was to get a CD addVoice-onkun accessory, the SNES-which would command a CD, developed by Sony who already helped player with the sound chip for the SNESIR signals. However, Sony got greedy and tried to include a clause in the contract to give them all rights to any software developed on the device - and Nintendo acted like assholes in retaliation Typically used by publicly humiliating the Sony execs present remote controllers so that audio plays at specific points in the SNES-CD announcement by claiming they'll partner with Phillips insteadgame. Talks between Sony and Nintendo These games are still resumed afterwards as late as 1993, but couldn't salvage the project. Nintendo lost interest playable in the CD peripheral seeing how the Sega-CD failed in the US (though the PC-Engine CD enjoyed some relative success). They cancelled the Phillips collaboration most emulators but allowed them in return to use some of their properties for their Phillips CDwithout Voice-i consolekun support. Later, they collaborated with the St. Giga radio service byuu intends to create the Japanmake either MSU-exclusive Satellaview add1 hacks or proper Voice-on kun emulation for the Super Famicom which played broadcasts of SFC these games using streamed audio. As for Sony, they basically created their own CD-based SNES-successor consolein future higan versions, which would make it the first PlayStation. Nintendo wouldn't support CD format afterwards besides a shy attempt as the N64DD that failed due emulator to the third-parties (Square, Enix, Hudson) that were supposed to support it jumping ship to the PS1 like almost everyone else. And the rest is historyemulate this feature.

Some prototype units of the Sony SNES==Hardware variants=====Nintendo Super System===:[https://ultimatepopculture.fandom.com/wiki/Nintendo_Super_System ultimatepopculture fandom -CD were indeed made, and games developed for it but they were reworked as regular SNES cartridge Nintendo Super System]Arcade system used to preview Super NES games in the United States.*Emulation is possible with lots of content gutted (like SquareMAME and BizHawk's Secret of ManaMAME core. [[MAME]] {{MAMEVer}} version [http:/Romancing Saga 2, and Nintendo R&D's Marvelous), ported to other consoles (like Hook for the Sega-CD), or outright cancelled/adb.arcadeitalia.net/lista_mame. They were to have much bigger worlds, streamed music, cutscenes, and even FMVs according to various interviewsphp?game_sourcefile=nss. However that never happened, and even most of the stuff developed cpp&arcade_only=0&current_version=0 compatibility status] for these consoles, as well as their various manuals/specifications, were lostNintendo Super System.

Obviously===SNES-CD revival and emulation===The Super Famicom was originally going to get a CD add-on called the SNES-CD, no emulatorsdeveloped by Sony, rom dumps or documentation exist publicly who had already helped with the sound chip for the SNES. However, Nintendo were unhappy with Sony's clause in the contract that would give them the rights to any software developed on the device. In retaliation, Nintendo announced that they would be partnering with Phillips instead. Talks between Sony and Nintendo continued afterward as late as 1993, but the project couldn't be salvaged. Nintendo lost interest in the CD peripheral, seeing how the Sega CD failed in the US, and the PC-Engine CD only enjoyed modest success. They canceled the Phillips collaboration on yet another SNES-CDprototype, but in return, they allowed them to use some of their properties for their Phillips CD-i console. Later, they collaborated with the St. Giga radio service to create the Japan-exclusive Satellaview add-on for the Super Famicom, which played broadcasts of SFC games using streamed audio. As for Sony, they took the hardware and experience from their collaboration with Nintendo to create the first PlayStation. Nintendo would continue to support the cartridge format for its next console, the Nintendo 64. A shy attempt at rewritable disk media was attempted with the 64DD, but the add-on failed due to its 64 MB maximum storage limit, which would be obsoleted by later, bigger N64 cartridges, as well as the lack of support from third parties - many of whom had opted to support the PS1 instead.

===MSUSome prototype units of the Sony SNES-1===Come CD were made. While games were in development for the MSUadd-1on, which aims to add some were eventually reworked as regular SNES cartridge games with lots of these features to the SNEScontent gutted (e.g. It, Nintendo R&D's a custom hardware specification for an additional chip Marvelous, Square's Secret of Mana, and Romancing Saga 2). Other games, like Hook, were ported to other systems instead (eventually made available Hook to the Sega CD and working with real SNES hardwareRayman to the Atari Jaguar, among others), as while the SD2SNES flashcard)rest were outright canceled. These games were to have much bigger worlds, streamed music, cutscenes, and the closest even FMVs, according to SNES-CD you'll ever getvarious interviews. That never happened, however, and most of what was developed for these consoles, including their various manuals and specifications, were lost. No more 12MB maximal cartridge size limitation!

One inconvenient is that this specification isn't really supported by most emulatorsRecently, an actual Sony SNES-CD prototype was uncovered<ref>http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/11/the-fabled-snes-playstation-prototype-has-been-turned-on-and-disassembled/</ref> and repaired.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug-CyGXMabg</ref><ref>https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=qh91IO9cV48</ref> It's currently supported by the SD2SNES flashcardhad various weird hardware restrictions (number of saves, CD size limit, no co-processors), BSNES 075 onwards and higan 094 onwardswith much of it likely having to do with its unfinished nature. These hacks simply wonFor example, it had planned Audio CD support, though it doesn't actually work at all in other emulators, or their developers will implement a which means the MSU-1 check is a much more attractive alternative for hacks aiming to let reflect what the game run in these emulators without the MSUSNES-1 enhancementsCD could have been.
