About this game

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
- 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.

Ratings and reviews

I almost got a little choked up when I opened up this app and it looked exactly like the emulator I used almost 30 years ago. ZSNES was never perfect but it was good enough and represented a beautiful simplicity that the heavier and more complicated modern emulators largely miss.

Awesome app!! can't wait for them to add rom path support so that I can play the roms straight from cocoon launcher! thank you for the hard work!

The first time I used ZSnes was in 1997. It's surreal to see it here. It was always my favorite user experience out of any other emulator and that is present here too, but with some awesome new features. I'm glad these guys are finally back in action.
