The two original developers of ZSNES are finally back together! Introducing SUPER ZSNES! Re-written completely from scratch, this GPU-powered SNES emulator is here to bring you the following: some of what is familiar, some of what's new, and then some of what goes beyond.

Key features:

Far more accurate CPU and Audio cores than the original ZSNES
GPU-powered PPU core to allow for hi-res Mode 7 and special per-game enhancement features
Classic UI with falling snow, modernized with higher definition and improved UX
Fast forward, rewind, save states, auto save history, save bookmarks, cheat codes, quick load, and more
No Vibe Coding. Classic development style.
Super Enhancement Engine, where the ZSNES developers are enhancing the games one at a time

Oh, absolutely. But other, more accurate, emulators started to take some of ZSNES's limelight away as hardware started to catch up to the demands.

It was a long time before a majority of PC owners could run BSNES at full-speed, but eventually it became one of the most well-beloved emulators. That same clock is what pushed ZSNES into obscurity over time.
