Snes9x is a Super Nintendo emulator for Windows computers, both portable and desktop, that will let you enjoy at home a good number of the best exponents of the catalog of this historic console. Indeed, once you have installed this program on your device, you'll have the possibility of downloading practically any of the games that were once released by The Big N.

Thanks to this software, you'll be able to enjoy, without having to pay a single cent, and with a minimum delay, titles such as Secret of Mana, Super Mario World, Killer Instinct, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Street Fighter, and many others. That will depend on the game database you search on the web, so you can play any game you want if you take the time to find it.

One of the significant advantages that this emulator offers concerning others that may be part of the same category has to do directly with the fact that it does not need any installation. Still, it starts working as soon as we need it. You will only need to unzip the contents of the file found in the folder of the game you have downloaded, and then you will be able to start entertaining yourself in a big way.

Then, Snes9x has a good number of options that make it a superior alternative to most of the current emulators. You will have access to functions such as saving the game at any time you want, as well as being able to configure all kinds of settings regarding the screen graphics. You also can record the games to review or share the videos later.

We have also noticed that the waiting time when running a game in Snes9x is tiny. You don't even get to sit correctly in the computer chair when the titles are practically running, ready for action. Also, this has happened to us with most games. No matter what Nintendo console game you want to enjoy on your computer, it would be best if you didn't wait too long for it.

What do I need to be able to emulate a game on Snes9x? Not too much. You must ensure that the ROMs of the titles you want to enjoy are stored on the same computer as the emulator. Otherwise, this program can run virtually any type of them, even accepting SMC or SFC type extensions, regardless of whether they are compressed yet.

The easiest way we have found to have all the games we wanted was to search for a database on the Internet for Snes9x, of which you will find several, and then go to the download links of the various torrents. Then you will need a program to download these files, and when you have them stored on your computer, you can run them directly from the emulator.

Of course, the benefits of using this emulator are not over yet, and we didn't want to fail to mention that if you are one of those users who especially value the possibility of enjoying a game by taking advantage of their external gamepads, you will now be able to do so. Indeed, this software is perfectly compatible with many of the gaming peripherals you have, so don't leave them in the drawer; it's time to dust them off.

It is also worth noting that Snes9x has been developed to allow users to access even better sound quality than the original console could offer, taking into account that although the idea is to maintain the aesthetic aspect of the titles as we knew it, there is no reason not to provide a better sound. And although in some games, the difference is more noticeable than in others, it is a detail that is appreciated.

Even suppose you are one of those who prefer multiplayer entertainment. In that case, you should know that this emulator allows you to take advantage of the benefits of the WiFi connections that you may have at home to challenge any of our friends also connected to the system. Thus, you can develop all kinds of adventures with some of your best friends.

Any operating drawbacks to criticize? None too important, although Street Fighter, in particular, took a little longer than other games to load. We do not know if it was a problem with our computer or that specific file. Still, the truth is that being the only title gave me this inconvenience. We can not consider it an error of the emulator itself.

In summary, we can say that Snes9x is one of the best Super Nintendo emulators that we can find today, not only because it allows us to run a massive amount of titles that are part of the catalog of this console but also because it adds many features that other similar programs do not have, and that makes our entertainment experience much more complete.

However, if you want a program that offers you the games available from the first moment, you must remember that this is not the case with this emulator, which runs the ROMs of Nintendo titles we have downloaded on our own.
