TODO: Merge in history information from SNES and possibly Console emulator. Merge in controversy information from SNES and Console emulator. Merge information from individual emulator articles, and try to reference. Try to find enough information on historical emulators (see #History) to give them a subsection too. Copyedit. Create real article. Put merge tags on individual emulator articles, and maybe List of SNES emulators.

Super NES emulation is the act of emulating the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on non-native hardware.

[edit] bsnes

bsnes for Linux and Windows was started by byuu on October 14, 2004,^[1] and a Mac OS X port was added by Richard Bannister^[2] in 2005. It is currently in active development under a custom license.^[3]

bsnes focuses on accuracy and clean code over speed or compatibility. Providing bus accurate processor emulation requires substantial overhead, so at least a Intel Core 2 is recommended to achieve full speed.^[1]
