Super Nintendo Emulators for Mac OS

Highly accurate Super Nintendo emulator. Once after the 0.70 version, byuu (the emulator's author), began to gradually turn bsnes into higan, starting by dropping half of the functionality and support for standard ROMs and archives. In fact, bsnes 0.71 can be considered the first version of higan. Later bsnes was again separated into a separate project from higan. If you have problems with the emulator speed, try changing the settings in Drivers -> Audio and Drivers -> Video.

• High emulation accuracy
• Support for standard ROM formats (including those packed in zip and 7z)
• Many settings
• A lot of video filters
• Game Movie recording
• And more
