![]() SNES Emulator for Mac OS XSnes Emulator Mac Os X
Super Nintendo Entertainment System / SNES
Even if it the Nintendo team for this version was still in their planning stage, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) was pulled out for an urgent release when the 8-bit version started to decline on its sales in the year 1991. At that time, it was already clear for Masayaki Uemera, the version’s designer, that this game system should have an affordable production cost.
They needed to add $75 to the cost of each unit upon its release. However, the president of Nintendo, Hiroshi Yamauchi, did not like the idea. He, instead, thought of coming up with NES cartridge adapter but was never realized.
BSNES
The main goal of this emulator is to provide the best experience and most accurate emulation for SNES. This version requires an Intel Mac or G5 to run efficiently and fast enough. It cannot emulate some of the SNES games making it unable to play such games like the Star Fox’s Super FX. Because it is another creation of Richard Bannister, it needs the Emulator Enhancer to enjoy additional features. Also, it runs under universal binary. SNES9x This is a highly compatible emulator for SNES. It is a freeware and portable version which comes with different versions. It was initially ported by John Stiles to Mac platform. It runs under universal binary and Intel Mac and PowerPC users can enjoy it. ZSNES This is the most compatible emulator for SNES which is released in 2001. It is also the fastest but inaccurate in some technical aspects. This is available through Intel Macs. Originally, it was created for DOS and was later changed to Windows and Linux systems. The first version, the one for Mac OS X, was released in June 2006. A new and unofficial version was released on February 2007 by Krade, member of ZSNES board. Features:
Mac Snes EmulatorRequirements:
USB2SNES is way to communicate with the SNES or devices (including some emulators) that act like a SNES
USB2SNES firmware
USB2SNES is a firmware for the SD2SNES cartridge written by Redguyy that allows to use the USB port on the SD2SNES to access various functionality of the SD2SNES.Most notable are uploading ROM, read and write various memories of the console.
The issue with this approach, when writing application that use this technology only one application can have access to the SD2SNES.So for example you cannot run an Item tracker for ALTTP randomizer at the same time than the fileviewer to upload a new ROM.
To avoid this issue, Redguyy wrote an intermediary application also called USB2SNES that other application use to talk to the SD2SNES.
So a basic usage look like that:
Emulators, SNES Classic…
Since then an alternative implementation called QUsb2Snes has added support for other backends including SNES Emulators or SNES Classic
For example Snes9x
