bsnes

bsnes is a multi-platform Super Nintendo (Super Famicom) emulator that focuses on performance, features, and ease of use.

bsnes currently enjoys 100% known, bug-free compatibility with the entire SNES library when configured to its most accurate settings.

Development

Git is used for the development of new releases, and represents a staging environment. As bsnes is rather mature, things should generally be quite stable. However, bugs will exist, regressions will occur, so proceed at your own risk.

If stability is required, please download the latest stable release from the official website.
