About:

ZSNES is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) emulator programmed by zsKnight and _Demo_. The DOS version of this emulator is one of the best SNES emulators still available.

Some of its key features include:
  • High Compatibility: ZSNES can run most SNES games, providing smooth performance and accurate emulation for a wide variety of titles.
  • Save States: Players can save the game at any point and load from that exact state later, a feature not available in the original SNES hardware.
  • Fast Forwarding: Allows users to speed up gameplay by skipping slow or repetitive sections of games.
  • Cheat Support: ZSNES supports various cheat codes like Game Genie and Pro Action Replay for modifying game data.
  • Netplay: This feature allows players to connect and play multiplayer SNES games online with others, though it requires a stable internet connection.
  • Graphical Filters: ZSNES includes options to improve game visuals, such as 2xSaI and Super Eagle filters, making older games look smoother on modern displays.
  • Controller Support: It supports custom mapping of controllers, including gamepads and keyboards, offering a flexible setup for players.
  • Full-Screen Mode: Games can be played in full-screen or windowed mode with adjustable screen resolutions.
  • Recording and Playback: ZSNES allows users to record gameplay and replay it later.
  • Sound Emulation: It provides accurate audio emulation, recreating the SNES’s sound chip, with options to tweak sound quality.

Note: Because the Windows version is outdated, it no longer works on modern systems like Windows 10 and 11. You should use the DOS version instead, which has a user interface and works perfectly on the latest versions of Windows.
