  The best snes emulator I’ve tried posted by Kess @ 90.231.225.55 on Oct 3 2009 3:54 PM 4444
I’ve earlier tried both snes9express and zsnes, yet I had many small irks with them. And while snes9x-gtk has some quirks as well, it runs much more smoothly. One of the biggest (non-)issues is that no default keybindings exist, a minor hazzle.

A beautiful reboot of an emulator with a fantastic fronted with continued development. I wish other projects had the same kind of Love.

Its builtin GUI, not a frontend. It makes snes9x less portable. The correct way should be ZSNES-like builtin GUI in SDL, allowing it to run under FrameBuffer, etc, with possibility to disable it, and GTK+2 frontend(like previously), or two concurrent GUI's, selected at compile time.

I'm sorry A beautiful reboot of an emulator with a fantastic built in GUI with continued development. I wish other projects had the same kind of Love. Much as I love an SDL type from end for small screens like my EEE PC on a large screen this is definitely what I want. This is without doubt the premium was of accessing SNES Games.

The GTK in Snes9X is simply fabulous, ZSNES an obvious competing project, and until this release ZSNES has always been slightly ahead of Snes9X having followed both their development over the last few years...and often switched between them. Having moved to pure 64bit and being enamored by the interface including my dualshock3 working beautifully.

Great emulator much better than ZSNES and standard snes9x.

Looks nice, I'll consider using it instead of ZSNES (though it'll be difficult convincing me, but I ran this emu ages before ZSNES because it had better performance on my ancient PC)...

  Wow, it is awesome !!! posted by Draconishinobi @ 89.122.167.246 on Sep 5 2008 11:41 AM 55555
I'd give it 6 or more stars if I could, but I can't. It even works on 64-bit, while zsnes does not. And it has so many different options, you can even use threads so all cores of a processor are used. It's awesome ! Many thanks to the authors, keep it up. The regular snes9x looks crappy in comparison.

ZSNES works OK for me on AMD64 on Gentoo.

It might work if I would be able to disable using 32-bit assembler, but the configure script won't let me.

Although it does seem like I need to use x86 emulated SDL to use Zsnes.

Its not emulated in any way. 32bit apps cannot link with 64bit libs, and vice versa (in windows you got in reality 2 env's, system32 and system64 with dll's). Glibc and Stdlibc are lowest level of libraries which doesnt link with anything lower, but uses "kernel link" interface. So 32bit userspace works as good and as native with 64bit kernel ,as with 32bit, but they cannot map as much memory as 64bit apps. The same case as with 32bit kernel with PAE, or similar things. Anyway i love ZSNES GUI, so it would be good to port it from crappy GTK+2, to SDL and write such GUI(original ZSNES is in ASM, so its not possible to simply port ZSNES interface). GTK+2 cannot run under FrameBuffer, etc, so it makes snes9x less portable (think about DS, PSP, GP32X w/o Xserver)
