ZSNES is an SNES emulator written mostly in x86 assembly with official ports for Linux, MS-DOS, and Windows.
History
Development of ZSNES began on July 3, 1997. The first version was released on October 14, 1997 for MS-DOS. Since then, official ports have been made for Windows and Linux. The emulator became open source under GPL licensure on April 2, 2001. During March of 2006, the source repository was moved from SourceForge.net to BountySource.[1] ZSNES is still being actively developed despite the departure of its original developers "zsKnight" and "_Demo_."
ZSNES is notable in that it was among the first SNES emulators to emulate most coprocessors at some level, with the exception of the SPC7110. It was also the first SNES emulator to offer the HQ2X video filter.
Features
Aside from emulating much of the system's internal and external hardware to obtain a high compatibility rate with games, ZSNES has many notable features as of the current version:
- Video scale adjustment
- Video filters
- Video synchronization
- Windowed and fullscreen display modes
- Rewinding and fast-forwarding of gameplay
- Movie recording in ZMV format
- Music ripping in SPC format
- State saving and loading in ZST format
- Soft-patching in IPS format
- Cheat code creation, modification, and application in CHT format
- GUI color customization
- Netplay, using another computer as player 2
Reception
ZSNES is currently one of the most popular SNES emulators available.[2] Retro Gamer called ZSNES "very impressive."[3]
