'''ZSNESNo$''' ('''NoCash''') is a free and open-source [[Super Nintendo series of proprietary emulators|Super Famicom (SNES) emulator]] written in [[wikipedia:x86|x86]] assembly. It was originally made in 1997 and was one , some of the most popular Super Nintendo emulators from late nineties to mid-2000swhich are donationware, but now is obsolete and has not been updated since 2007. Currently the only reason to use ZSNES is accompanying tools/debuggers for the netplaya variety of systems, developed by Martin Korth.

==OverviewReview==The ZSNES developers focused on speed over For general purpose emulation, don't bother with these unless you happen to use a very old/outdated computer, these emulators are built around [[Emulation Accuracy#Low_accuracy|accuracyspeedhacks]], so a hefty amount of games have bugs (and some just crash outright). The current version (v1.51) created more problems than it fixed and many problems still remain:[[File:Kirby3-forest.gif|frame|SNES Pseudo Hi-Res translucency on ''new'' graphics engine]]* Compatibility is lower than modern emulators due to low accuracy to real SNES system.* Games crashing: Der Langrisser (freezes after 2–3 hours), Super Mario RPG (freezes in many different points of the game), Star Ocean compatibility and many other games have freezing and crashing issues.* Bad sound emulation: Many games sound inaccurate on ZSNES. ZSNES's audio timer isn't floating point so there are timing artifacts in the music. ZSNES doesn't emulate release values of ADSR so held notes will sound poor.* Many of the co-processors, which are actually on the game cartridges, are emulated in strange ways. For example, Super FX is not clocked correctly; Star Fox runs twice as fast as it should.* Transparency: Kirby Dreamland 3, Mecarobot Golf, Jurassic Park and other games that use pseudo-hi-res translucency won't display correctly in the default graphics engine in v1.51. To get them prone to display properly in v1bugs.51, one must press 8 to switch to Use the old graphics engine.* x86 code exploits: With specially made hacks and homebrew ROMs, it is possible emulators for them to break out of ZSNES itself and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3SOYneC7mU execute native code on the host computer.] * While older versions of ZSNES still have one of the better netplay systems among emulators, netplay was removed in v1.50.* SA-1 isn't emulated correctly, so Kirby Super Star can sometimes spawn different sprites than listed on the supposed onemain page instead.

These The main drawing point of No$ emulators is the excellent debug features they often have (only matched by the likes of [[FCEUX]]), such as memory viewers and disassemblers, making it very useful for people who are just a few problemsinto hacking games either to produce rom hacks or translations, but still marred by its lower compatibility, austere interface, and in the case of the GBC emulators, DRM (but that was long ago, everything else from No$ is 100% safe to use). They're also the place to go for features that don't get much attention if any on other emulators, there are a few more listed [httpsincluding:* PocketStation (PS1)://floatingas part of No$GBA 2.muncher7 onwards.se/byuu/accuracy/ here] The odd choice of emulators comes from GBA, DS and PocketStation sharing parts of the ARM architecture.

Fails.* DSi: No$GBA added support for DSi games starting with version 2.8, although some games won't boot and others have graphical glitches.

It is recommended to use [[Snes9x]] or [[higan]] instead==Machine Documentation==Consistently with his focus on emulators as a debugging tool, Martin Korth provides single-document, consistently-formatted comprehensive documentation of a number of his emulated platforms, usually being an omnibus of existing resources augmented with independent research.

==ROM hacks==Machines documented include:Many ROM hacks and ROM hacking tools were made using ZSNES as a testing platform because of its popularity. However, because of the inaccuracies of the emulator, these tools and hacks are broken on other, more accurate emulators and real hardware. ==Alternatives=====bZSNES===In 2011, byuu released * [http://byuuproblemkaputt.orgde/bzsnes/ bZSNESx51specs.htm the AMT630A] - a modification of his [[higan|bsnes]] that includes the optional inaccuracies of ZSNES and a similar GUI.
