Here's a collection of Frequently Answered Questions.
### What is SSNES?
SSNES is a frontend for libsnes, an API which exposes the emulation features of a SNES emulator. libsnes started with the SNES emulator bSNES, but there is also a libsnes implementation for SNES9x, which means SSNES is emulator agnostic. SSNES provide a way for the user to interact with these emulator cores.
SSNES is a frontend for libsnes, an API which exposes the functionality of a SNES emulator. libsnes started with the SNES emulator bSNES, but there is also a libsnes implementation for SNES9x, which means SSNES is emulator agnostic. SSNES builds around the emulator core to provide a full emulator.
### Which platforms are SSNES available for?
SSNES runs and is supported on GNU/Linux, BSD, Windows and Mac OSX (PPC/Intel). It might run on other platforms, but you will be on your own.
### Where can I get help?
If you have questions or issues which cannot be resolved easily, you can pay a visit to:
[SSNES forum](http://board.byuu.org/viewforum.php?f=17)
### Are there binaries/packages provided?
SSNES is mostly built from source.
Binaries are provided for Windows (32-bit/64-bit) in the downloads section.
OSX binaries might be available on the forums, but you are expected to build it yourself.
Ubuntu users should be able to use builds from [Hunterk's PPA](https://launchpad.net/~hunter-kaller/+archive/ppa).
