I tried some snes emulators out there I could find: BSnes, snes9x, and etc.. And quite honestly, I always come back to ZNES. It might not be so accurate in it emulation, but I've been having much less issues with my games with znes. Especially with stafox and starfox 2. snes9x runs it ridiculously too fast, Bsnes runs it too fast as well, and it doesn't seem to have quite the same kind of slowdown spikes as the snes has. On znes once you properly set the emulation speed, it runs at a pretty accurate rate. My only complaint is that sometimes I'm having input problems. mostly delayed input. And the audio can get "dirty" with white noise static playing over some sounds. And the video recorder is not very accurate and buggy, it doesn't record the memory state, so anything that's calculated randomly won't appear at the same place during the recording, and it can totally ruin everything. But if you set it to full screen with the trilinear filter I think, you can record it live with something like msi afterburner. But besides that I didn't have much issues ever ! The user interface is also getting slightly dated especially the rom browser. But, oh well..

I downloaded and it ran, but what now? It does not come with any games, or tell you how to get more games, so what good is this? At least it was easy to delete.

One problem that I've had with it was that it kept giving me one of the very quirkiest errors that I've ever seen. I had the ENTER key set up on a keyboard for the START button and it works on everything else I've tried. For some reason, it did not like that key. Everytime I hit that key for start, znes would reject it. It wasn't until I changed the key to something else that it finally started to work. That drove me batty wondering what was wrong with it! That's why it gets a 4! Otherwise, I've had nothing but great say about it; I've seen it work on a 256 MB DDR-RAM , single core Celeron system, with onboard audio/video, and it ran flawlessly without any changes to tone down the emulator!

Pretty Much Z Best SNES Emulator ever and because it is mostly written in Assembler (ASM) its ULTRA FAST!! and while it is said it may not be the most accurate SNES-emulator.... its still the best to me ;:^_^;; iconic UI ^_^ =D and its been on hold for a long time now x(.... the Dev's doing life stuff ;;^_^;; so its understandable..

The reviews here aren't helpful at all. Anyway, I will say this: If you are in the market for a SNES emulator, ZSNES is the way to go! It's very tiny and runs just about any game you can throw at it! Highly recommended!
minimagnus Posted 2010-01-27

I remember this emulator, sadly it was quite a while since I actually tried some old SNES games, will give it another go.
