Snes9X is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulator.

Snes9x 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 PC or Workstation; which includes some real gems that were only ever released in Japan.

Here are some key features of "Snes9X":
ability to save in any location of the game, despite how the game was designed it's amazingly useful when you don't want to redo the same level over and over.
built-in peripherals. This is anything from multi-taps, to super scopes, to cheat devices.
ability to rip sprites and music for your own personal use
easier to organize and no stacks of cartridges that scare off non-nerdish women.
filters can be used to enhance graphics on old games.

Snes9x 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 is coded in C++, with three assembler CPU emulation cores on the i386 Linux and Windows ports.

Currently there are many ports of Snes9x available, please check the download page to see if a port exists for your system.
