Super Nintendo Emulator (discontinued)
By Qwertie

Back to main page

This is a Super Nintendo emulator I wrote in grade 11 (1998). I spent about 900 hours on it, then lost a programming competition because some judge was worried that there might be "issues" with copyrights--although I only demonstrated games I owned at the show. If you're looking for a way to play Super Nintendo games on your computer, this is probably not the page for you. Superior emulators include SNES9X and zSNES. Please note that emulators never come with games--that would be illegal.

If anyone's reading this: there's a serious bug in the auto-speed-regulation system.  If the emulator manages to go past 60FPS, even for a short period of time, it tries to compensate by slowing down.  However, the bug causes it to keep slowing down forever, until you hit ESC, at which point the regulator gets reset.  However, this bug makes the emulator's speed regulation virtually useless.  If you have a fast computer (say, 300Mhz), you should choose "Skip Frames" instead of auto-regulate, then pick "0 Frames" and check "Wait for retrace" and "leading edge".  Hopefully that will make the emu run at full speed with no problems.  If it seems to be running at half speed, choose to skip 1 frame rather than 0.

Screen shots follow.
