Snes9x for Mac is a portable, freeware Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) emulator. It basically allows you to play most games designed for the SNES and Super Famicom Nintendo game systems on your Mac or Workstation; which includes some real gems that were only ever released in Japan.

Snes9x for macOS is the result of well over three years worth of part-time hacking, coding, recoding, debugging, divorce, etc. (just kidding about the divorce bit). Snes9x for Mac is coded in C++, with three assembler CPU emulation cores on the i386 Linux and Windows ports.

Tons and tons of internal core changes were made to make the app way better than before, and work on more platforms than before. Unforunetly since the Windows port is radically different than every other port of the tool, and no one cared to maintain the Windows port, this release will not have a Windows port. However interested parties who have the neccesary skills can make a Windows port of the source. However if you do, please send the changes back.

What's new in this version:

General:
- Fixed subscreen blending with master brightness < 100%.
- Fixed NMI timing when toggling enable bit. Fixes Chou Aniki--hack removed.
- Reverted an IPL map optimization that misses a weird edge case that caused The Great Battle III to lock up.
