Snes9x is a portable, freeware Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)
emulator. It basically allows you to play most games designed for the SNES
and Super Famicom Nintendo game systems on your PC or Workstation; which
includes some real gems that were only ever released in Japan. Snes9x is the
result of well over three years worth of part-time hacking, coding, recoding,
debugging, divorce, etc. (just kidding about the divorce bit). Snes9x is
coded in C++, with three assembler CPU emulation cores on the i386 Linux and
Windows ports.
Snes9x changelog:
- Increased the speed of SA1 emulation to match hardware (BearOso)
more closely.
- Fixed negative SA1 division (BearOso, Jonas Quinn)
- Changed the location where we poll input to potentially (Brunnis, BearOso)
reduce lag.
- Fixed the interlace fields being swapped after skipping (BearOso)
frames.
- More updates for BS-X support. (LuigiBlood)
- Updated xBRZ to version 1.6. (zenju, OV2)
- Added a DMA timing hack for rpgone's Koryu no Mimi (OV2)
translation.
- Updated HDMA to not update indirect addresses until after (BearOso)
transfers are completed.
- Improved cheats support. This stores cheats in a human- (BearOso, OV2)
readable and editable format as gamename.cht. Cheats are
converted from the old format on load. They can be added
in many different formats, but they will convert to the
simple address=condition?byte format.
Also, now included is mightymo's cheat database, and the
ability to match a game and automatically load cheats
from it.
