Zsnes by zsknight and The ZSNES Team.

Zsnes is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulator written mostly in assembler. It basically allows you to play most games designed for the SNES and Super Famicom Nintendo game systems on your PC or Workstation..

Things you should know about Zsnes

You can use both keyboard and joystick for player 1 or 2 with some configuration adjustments. Refer to zsnes.faq for details. Several special chip emulation routines (SA-1) have unknown bugs to them SuperFX can be slow because it is an extra 10/20mhz cpu that has to be emulated as well as the snes emulation. Screen Snapshot, Snapshot Format, and FPS counter are available through a menu by pressing F1 during emulation Screen Snapshot currently saves as Image.BMP (65536 colors). Also, a PNG mode is available that saves in 32 bit ARGB color, as .png FPS counter currently only works when auto frame rate is on.

To use the cheat function, be sure to have the ROM which you want to patch loaded already. If the cheat codes do not work, chances are that you are using a different version of the rom that was originally used to create them or the codes are converted incorrectly from other code formats. There are still many bugs left in ZSNES so don't expect it to run all your favorite games. SNES Mouse support is still missing some features such as speed settings Pressing the Fast Forward key is equivalent to running ZSNES using -f 9. If ZSNES doesn't work for you, then don't use it. Use SNES9X, NLKE, SNEESE, or SNEMUL instead! In fact, even if you use ZSNES, use those emulators too!
