This document contains information specific to BSNES. For general information about emulators and the program interface,please see the “About the Shell” document.
What is it?
BSNES is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulator.
BSNES has a somewhat different purpose to most emulators; it focuses on accuracyover performance. To that end, it does not include any game specific hacks, or idle-loop skipping optimizations commonly found in other emulators. To add to the fun, it uses a cycle accurate hardwareemulation. The net result of all this is the highest system requirements of any software I’ve released to date; those without a G5 class machine need not apply. If you meet the requirements, however,this is the most accurate SNES emulation available on the Macintosh platform.
BSNES cannot achieve full frame rate on anything less than an Intel machine. This is not considered a bug; PowerPChardware is obsolete at this point!
