Play Super Nintendo Games with Snes9x
The one thing that I liked about Windows, is that they had the ability to run emulators, for video games. So this means I could play my favorite games from when I was younger, from N64, Super Nintendo, and more.
I finally found a Super Nintendo emulator! It is called Snes9x, and it works amazingly, very simple to use, and very simple to configure. Here is a screen shot, from when I was playing Donkey Kong.
So as you can see, it is just like the same thing, only you are playing on your computer. Now when I have nothing to do, I plan on catching up, and beating my favorite games all over again.
How it Works
So here is how you set it up, you can play your favorite games within minutes. Download Snes9x from their website, unzip, and drag to your applications folder, or wherever you want it. After you have the application installed on your Mac, it is time for you to visit some ROM (that is what the games are called) sites, to download your favorite games. Here is a list of sites that supply a huge amount of ROMS.

Once you download the game that you wish to play, just open up Snes9x, click on emulation => Run, then choose the ROM you just downloaded. It is really simple, you can customize the controls to your liking, import cheat codes, and much more.
This is an application that I plan on to use at least once a day or so, so when I have nothing better to do, I can just make hours go away faster and faster.
If you need any help, or have any questions, fell free to email me or leave a comment. What is your favorite Super Nintendo game? Do you know of any other emulators?
