BSNES overview

BSNES has a somewhat different purpose to most emulators; it focuses on accuracy over performance. To that end, it does not include any game specific hacks, or idle-loop skipping optimizations commonly found in other emulators. To add to the fun, it uses a cycle accurate hardware emulation. The net result of all this is the highest system requirements of any software I've released to date; those without a G5 class machine need not apply. If you meet the requirements, however, this is the most accurate SNES emulation available on the Mac platform.

Features
  • Cycle accurate emulation.
  • Support for DSP1, DSP2, DSP3, DSP4, OBC1, SA1, SDD1, SPC7110, SRTC, ST010, and SuperFX custom chips.
  • Full sound.

Richard is a legend of the emulator scene and this is up to his usual high standards. Plays all the games I've thrown at it, exactly how I remember them. Not the most feature-rich, but gets it right where it counts.
