SUPER ZSNES

Welcome to SUPER ZSNES

The two original developers of ZSNES are finally back together! Introducing SUPER ZSNES! Re-written completely from scratch, this GPU-powered SNES emulator is here to bring you the following: some of what is familiar, some of what's new, and then some of what goes beyond. This emulator is early in development and will continue to be improved.

NOTE: ROMs currently can only be loaded from the internal app folder, so please copy them there. We are currently working on improving this.

Key Features

- Far more accurate CPU and Audio cores than the original ZSNES

- GPU-powered PPU core to allow for hi-res Mode 7 and special per-game enhancement features

- Classic UI with falling snow, modernized with higher definition and improved UX

- Fast forward, rewind, save states, auto save history, save bookmarks, cheat codes, quick load, and more

- No Vibe Coding. Classic development style.

- Super Enhancement Engine, where the ZSNES developers are enhancing the games one at a time

Super Enhancement Engine is currently implemented with support for 7 popular games. Support for more games will keep increasing as this emulator is in development:

High Resolution - Not just an auto upscalar, but an internal drawing program is used to make sure that the higher resolution details can be manually drawn to look nice and crisp.

Texture/Normal Map - Adds some nice details to the backgrounds to give them a higher resolution look.

Overclock - Select games often filled with slowdown are overclocked.

Wide Screen (where available) - We enable widescreen whenever the game is internally coded to support partial or full widescreen.

Uncompressed Audio Replacement - We curate and pick uncompressed audio samples to replace original highly compressed audio samples.

3D - Currently only supported on perspective-style Mode 7, replaces tiles with 3D height mapped data.

All enhancements can be individually disabled to suit your play style.

Note: Enhancement data contains no ROM or copyrighted data. You will need to provide the ROMs. Do not ask the developers for ROMs.

What's Coming

- Bug fixes

- Special chip emulation (DSP1, SuperFX, etc.)

- More optimization work

- More types of enhancements

- Netplay

- Other features

Notes

This is an early build, so there are still emulation bugs and special chips (DSP1, SuperFX, etc.) have yet to be implemented. A bunch of optimization work has yet to be done so performance may be a bit slow.
