Snes9x is a portable, freeware Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) emulator written in C++ that lets users play most SNES and Super Famicom games on PCs and workstations. It provides native GUI ports for Windows, Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD, plus a libretro core that brings SNES emulation to RetroArch and many other platforms including Android, web (Emscripten), and handheld/console targets.
Use cases
- play super nintendo games on my pc
- snes emulator for windows or mac
- run snes roms on linux
- emulate super famicom games including japanese-only releases
- libretro snes core for retroarch
- retro console emulator for snes and super famicom
- play snes games on android or in the browser
When to choose
- You want a long-established, portable SNES emulator with native desktop ports and regular nightly builds
- You need a libretro core to add SNES emulation to RetroArch or another libretro frontend
- You want broad game compatibility, including titles only released in Japan for the Super Famicom
When to avoid
- You need to emulate consoles other than the SNES/Super Famicom, such as NES, N64, or Game Boy
- You are looking for legal sources of game ROMs rather than emulation software itself
- You need a multi-system emulator frontend rather than a dedicated single-console emulator
