Snes9XW is a portable, freeware Super Nintendo Entertainment System 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.

Snes9XW is the result of well over three years worth of part-time hacking, coding, recoding and debugging. Snes9XW is coded in C++, with three assembler CPU emulation cores on the i386 Linux and Windows ports.
