Description by ZEMU Software Inc. Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
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. This emulator is early in development and will continue to be improved.
NOTE: ROMs currently can only be loaded from the internal app folder, so please copy them there. We are currently working on improving this.
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
- Super Enhancement Engine, where the ZSNES developers are enhancing the games one at a time
Super Enhancement Engine is currently implemented with support for 7 popular games. Support for more games will keep increasing as this emulator is in development:
High Resolution - Not just an auto upscalar, but an internal drawing program is used to make sure that the higher resolution details can be manually drawn to look nice and crisp.
Texture/Normal Map - Adds some nice details to the backgrounds to give them a higher resolution look.
Overclock - Select games often filled with slowdown are overclocked.
Wide Screen (where available) - We enable widescreen whenever the game is internally coded to support partial or full widescreen.
Uncompressed Audio Replacement - We curate and pick uncompressed audio samples to replace original highly compressed audio samples.
3D - Currently only supported on perspective-style Mode 7, replaces tiles with 3D height mapped data.
All enhancements can be individually disabled to suit your play style.
Note: Enhancement data contains no ROM or copyrighted data. You will need to provide the ROMs. Do not ask the developers for ROMs.
What's Coming
- Bug fixes
- Special chip emulation (DSP1, SuperFX, etc.)

Notes
This is an early build, so there are still emulation bugs and special chips (DSP1, SuperFX, etc.) have yet to be implemented. A bunch of optimization work has yet to be done so performance may be a bit slow.
