SNES9x is a SNES emulator developed for the PC; the Unofficial SNES9x for PSP is an unofficial port of the emulator for PSP. Of the available SNES emulators, this one has the least amount of frameskip when running games at full speed. It is the most frequently updated and has the most available options. Snes9xTYL is the base SNES emulator for PSP and is based on snes9x. It is an open-source emulator with many features all modern emulators have including netplay, autoskip, different rendering modes etc. Emulators: lr-snes9x, lr-snes9x2010, lr-snes9x2005, lr-snes9x2002, PiSNES, snes9x-rpi RetroPie includes multiple SNES emulators. The prefered emulator on the RPi2 or RPi3B due to its balance between speed and accuracy, though an overclocked RPi3B or stock RPi3B+ are recommended for attempting full speed emulation of SA1/SFX2 games.
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (or SNES) was a 4th generation video game console released by Nintendo in 1991. It is one of the most popular consoles.

RetroPie includes multiple SNES emulators.
lr-snes9x2010
The prefered emulator on the RPi2 or RPi3B due to its balance between speed and accuracy, though an overclocked RPi3B or stock RPi3B+ are recommended for attempting full speed emulation of SA1/SFX2 games.
lr-snes9x2005
Recommended for attempting full speed emulation of SFX/SA1/SFX2 games on the RPi2 alongside, and the same could be said when attempting full speed emulation of SA1/SFX2 games on a stock RPi3B, though accuracy will suffer in all cases.
lr-snes9x
Psp Roms Snes Loveroms
An optional emulator that has proper Satellaview emulation, MSU-1 hack support, and is the most accurate SNES emulator available on the Raspberry Pi, but an overclocked RPi3B or stock RPi3B+ are recommended to avoid slowdown in most regular games. This emulator is generally too demanding for SFX/SA1/SFX2 games and an overclocked RPi3B+ is recommended for attempting full speed emulation of said games.
lr-snes9x2002
The default emulator for the RPi0 and RPi1: expect inaccurate emulation. With this emulator, full speed emulation of SFX/SA1/SFX2 games is not possible on a RPi0 or a RPi1, expect some regular games not to run full speed on a RPi0, and do not expect full speed emulation for any game on a RPi1.
This emulator may also be of use to RPi2 and RPi3B owners that need the additional speed to emulate SFX/SA1/SFX2 games at full speed consistently, though lr-snes9x2005 should be their first choice.
Setting the Runcommand's resolution setting for this emulator to a low 4:3 resolution on the RPi0 or RPi1 is recommended for faster emulation: VGA (640x480) (CEA-1) will produce a 4:3 resolution with screen tearing on a modern TV. 480i (CEA-6) will not have screen tearing on a modern TV yet will decrease visual quality.
PiSNES
An optional emulator that is recommended for full speed emulation of some games that run slow on a RPi0 in lr-snes9x2002, though it has inaccurate sound emulation and SFX/SA1/SFX2 games do not work.
Setting the Runcommand's resolution setting for this emulator to a low 4:3 resolution on the RPi0 or RPi1 is recommended for faster emulation. VGA (640x480) (CEA-1) will produce a 4:3 resolution with screen tearing on a modern TV. 480i (CEA-6) will not produce a 4:3 resolution with this emulator, not have screen tearing on a modern TV, and will decrease visual quality.
snes9x-rpi
An optional emulator that is identical to PiSNES in that it is based on the same version of SNES9x, has the same inaccurate sound emulation, and SFX/SA1/SFX2 games do not work. Where this emulator differs is that it requires a keyboard to exit without advanced controller configuration. How well it performs compared to PiSNES is currently unknown.

For emulators like lr-snes9x2010, the '.bs' extension is not recognized when inside a '.zip' or '.7z' archive.
First you will need to uncompress your ROMs from '.zip' or '.7z', then either leave them uncompressed, or change all of the ROMs' extension from '.bs' to '.sfc' then recompress the '.sfc' files back to '.zip' or '.7z' archives.
A quick way to change all of your '.bs' ROMs for Windows users is to open NotePad, put the command found below in it, save the file with a '.bat' extension (name it something like 'bs to sfc.bat'), then place the new batch file in the folder containing your uncompressed '.bs' ROMs.
rename *.bs *.sfc
Programs such as PeaZip or WinRAR can be used to batch compress all of the newly renamed ROMs back into separate '.zip' or '.7z' archives.

lr-snes9x and lr-snes9x2010 are the only emulators that support multitap. Multitap support is disabled by default due to it breaking two-player games that don't support it.
To enable multitap, launch the multitap supported game you wish to enable multitap support in, go to 'RGUI/Main Menu/Quick Menu/Controls', change 'User 2 Device Type' to 'Multitap', then go back to the 'Quick Menu' and select 'Save Game Overrides' at the bottom of the menu.
What are ROMs?
ROMs, Rom Games and Emulators, does it sounds unfamiliar for you? Video game ROMs are nothing else but a software which is installed on a videogame cartridge, however these days there are hundred thousand of roms available for download on the Internet. At the beginning people, who had advanced knowledges in IT field started to extract ROMs from cartridges and upload them to the Internet.
ROMs GAMES or ROM which stands for (Read-Only-Memory), it is NVM or (Nonvolatile Memory) which we mainly use in many devices such as computers, mobile phones, consoles and other. Most of the times it is impossible to modify the data of ROM without having advanced knowledges in the IT field. The main use of ROM is to store firmware, now you may be wondering “and what is firmware?” Let me answer you - firmware is kind of software that closely related to a specific hardware and needs updates frequently, that was the firmware short explanation now back to ROM again, as I said that the main use of it is to store firmware or application software in something called plug-in cartridges.
Read only memory refers to hard wired memory. Like diode matrix and mask ROM or “MROM”, which means that we cannot change it after being produced.
Lately, ROM has been updated to enclose read-only memory in normal operation, but we can reprogram it other way.
Erasable programmable read-only memory or we can call it (EPROM) and electrically erasable programmable read-only memory or we can also call it (EEPROM), maybe it is a bit understandable by its name which we can erase and reprogram it again. But this usually takes a lot of time and need special gear or hardware to establish and for few times only.
ROM reading speed of course is much different than RAM speed this is why we do copy ROM content to RAM before the first use, later we read from RAM.
ROM writing speed: for ROMs electrically modified, writing speed is always way slower than reading speed, sometimes need high voltage.

ROMs Emulators
ROMs Emulators are a kind of software that trick computers’ system which we call the host, and transform them virtually or create specific environment on the computer, which we call guest. The EMLATOR makes the host system run a specific software designed originally for the guest system. Now that we got the simple idea of what is an EMULATOR we can explain the ROMS EMULATORS or a VIDEO GAME CONSOLE EMULATOR.
ROMs EMULATORS or A VIDEO GAME COSOLE EMULATOR are simply types of emulators that permit a computer device to emulate a video game console’s hardware such PlayStation, Nintendo, Atari, Sony etc., and play all its games on the emulated platform such as PC. Nowadays, emulators give us additional features which are not available on the original platforms. For example, larger controller compatibility, scheduled control, higher performance, higher quality, easier to modify. Cheat codes with only one click, unlimited gameplay advantage, also it is worth mentioning that EMULATORS or ROMs EMULATORS are helpful in the development process of indie demos and to recreate or create new games, which are only available on the rare and old consoles.
