Jolly Good Fork of bsnes

bsnes-jg is a cycle accurate emulator for the Super Famicom/Super Nintendo Entertainment System, including support for the Super Game Boy, BS-X Satellaview, and Sufami Turbo. bsnes-jg is a fork of bsnes v115, Many changes have been made post-fork:

  • Higher quality resampler with settings

  • Improved performance without loss of accuracy

  • Portability improvements

  • Removal of accuracy-reducing hacks and unnecessary code

  • Significant increase in standards compliance

  • Translation to the C++ Standard Library (ISO C++11)

In particular, it uses much less CPU compared to the original bsnes (though not as little as zsnes).

The supported file formats are:

  • .sfc
