SUPER NINTENDO EMULATOR FORK
SuperSnes9x
An independent Snes9x fork with expanded SNES, Super Game Boy, and experimental Game Boy features.
What SuperSnes9x offers
SuperSnes9x is an unofficial fork of Snes9x. Its maintainer documents additions such as Kaillera networking, RetroAchievements without Hardcore mode, input run-ahead, and viewers for sprites, tiles, and audio waveforms. It also explores Super Game Boy and Game Boy Color support alongside the core Super Nintendo emulator.
The fork is a separate project from upstream Snes9x. Some features, especially Game Boy support, are described as experimental. Readers should compare its own build notes and keep a working configuration before testing a newer build. A release headline alone does not tell you whether a particular game or peripheral works.
Best for
Players and experimenters who specifically want to test this Snes9x fork and its additional features.

Check the project’s own release and setup notes before choosing a build.
A sensible setup path
- Read the fork README and choose its own build rather than an upstream Snes9x download.
- Launch a Super Nintendo game you can legally use with default settings and confirm video, audio, and input.
- Enable one optional feature at a time; consult the project notes for any required Super Game Boy system files.
- Keep the previous build, settings, and saves when comparing development snapshots.
Software reminder: SuperSnes9x does not supply commercial games or copyrighted system files. Use only material you have the right to obtain and run.
