NLKSNES v.0.15(d)

• This nifty SNES emulator can run games at close to normal speeds with only a 486. NLKSNES now has support for many roms, and more screen options (such as background colors and transparent backgrounds). While all this is great so far, it doesn't include sound.....yet. This kind of performance on a 486 (DX) is amazing. This emu could go far. For DOS only.

SNES9x v0.24

• Now I know, there is a god. This emu has sound, the most options of all four emu's, a nice GUI, 6 button joystick support, new screen effects, and an optional line-to-line cached screen redraw mode. That isn't even half the list. Version .20 included a *huge* speed increase over the previous, and is more stable. NLKSNES is still slightly faster (while ZSNES blows everything away), and the sound isn't as good as ESNES. This is still the motha of all emu's. Get this NOW!

ESNES v0.14a

• This is a good in between emulator for everything. ESNES has better sound quality than SNES9x, but isn't as fast as ZSNES or NLKSNES. There are more options available than with the other two speedy emu's, but not as many as SNES9x. A high end Pentium is still needed for optimum performance. Supports Action Replay Codes and Game Genie codes. For DOS only.

ZSNES v0.201

• This emulator came outta no where with speed faster than NLKSNES, and sound as good as SNES9x. This will even run on a 486 processor because it's programmed in Assembly! The sound emulation on it is is close to Snes9x, the sound effects still need tweaking. This emulator could quickly become the best. The amount of options on Zsnes are growing with every release, but there arn't hardly as many that SNES9X has.
