### Which rom types are supported?
SSNES supports uncompressed roms. Be it headered or not. If you have a rom with extension ".sfc" or ".smc", it should work. SSNES does not support compressed roms directly, but there are various scripts out there which will do this automatically for you :)
### Does SSNES support patching formats?
SSNES currently supports UPS and BPS patching formats. Various scripts also support things like IPS.
### Does SSNES support video filters like HQ2x, 2xSaI, etc?
Filters are not built into SSNES, but it supports filter plugins which you can load into SSNES.
The filter plugins are the same as used in bSNES (*.filter).
### I have a bug to report! Where can I report it?
You can either report issues in the [issues](https://github.com/Themaister/SSNES/issues) section, or create a thread on the [forum](http://board.byuu.org/viewforum.php?f=17).

## Windows specific
### I downloaded SSNES Windows binaries, and there are two programs here, what's the deal?
SSNES and [SSNES-Phoenix](https://github.com/Themaister/SSNES-Phoenix) are two separate projects, both found here on GitHub. While SSNES is a command-line application, SSNES-Phoenix is a GUI which allows you to configure SSNES and launch games from a comfortable GUI environment. It is fully possible to use your own launching methods which is very suitable for i.e. HTPC setups.
### I tried launching SSNES in Windows with <insert program here> but there's an annoying command line window there. Any way to remove it?
You can pass the -D flag to SSNES which will terminate the console window if you launch it outside cmd.exe (from a shortcut or something like that).
