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.

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
  • No Vibe Coding. Classic development style.
  • Super Enhancement Engine, where the ZSNES developers are enhancing the games one at a time

I was surprised about the "with a native Linux version" part since I had recently checked the site and it was missing. That's cool that there's a Linux version now. At this point I'm not super interested in the feature set, but maybe something cool will come out of the modding capability (currently not available to users). Netplay is another future feature I'm interested in since the original zsnes had the best snes netplay I had tried.
