Snes9x is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) emulator that enables you to play all games developed for SNES and Super Famicom Nintendo straight on your Windows workstation.

Just like any other emulator, you need to download separate ROMs from the Internet, but the truth is that Snes9x works flawlessly with all of them.

The interface consists mostly of the emulated game, while the configuration screens and menus allow users to tweak its behavior.

Besides the fact that it shows ROM information and bundles dedicated tools for movie and AVI recording, Snes9x comes with excellent support for peripherals. As such, you can always play your favorite games with game controllers - configuration is just a breeze thanks to the well-developed “Input” screen.

Setting up sound and video configurations is easy, because Snes9x boasts features to adjust playback rate, buffer length, channels, enable 16-bit sound and stereo, stretch image, maintain aspect ratio or enable bilinear filtering.

Last but not least, the application sports netplay capabilities, which means you can either connect to a server or set the app to act as one. As a result, you can send ROM image to clients straight from within the program, but also sync using reset game.

Also, Snes9x runs on very low computer resources and is compatible with all Windows versions out there.

So all things considered, this is one of the best Nintedo emulators out there. And since the Internet is full of compatible ROMs, it would be a shame not to give it a try.
