Snes9x EX+

Snes9x EX+ is a Super Nintendo emulator for Android operating systems that's completely free and open source. This app is based on the original code of Snes9x, one of the most popular SNES emulators in the world, which has been ported to more than a dozen different platforms since the first version was released in 1998.

No prior configuration and no complications

To be able to use Snes9x EX+, you don't need to download anything other than the emulator itself and the ROMs you want to play. You will not need a BIOS of any kind. From the Configuration Options menu, you can take a look at the graphics and sound settings, but even that isn't really necessary. You will also be able to customize the controls, especially if you're going to play with a Bluetooth controller, but again, none of that is strictly necessary. You will be able to play any SNES game less than a minute after installing this emulator.

The entire Super Nintendo catalog on Android

At the emulation level, Snes9x EX+ is capable of running practically the entire console catalog, including games that use special chips integrated into the cartridge such as Stunt Race FX and StarFox. The only requirement is that the ROMs are located locally on the device with .SMC or .SFC extensions, even if they're compressed. In fact, the emulator is capable of running even unofficial ROM hacks. Any game that could run on a SNES console will work without any problems on this emulator.

My thoughts on Snes9x EX+

There are a few emulators for SNES on Android, but simply none is as good as Snes9x EX+. Its compatibility rate is practically perfect, and it features all the functionalities and quality-of-life improvements one would expect from a modern emulator. It even has support for Super Scope (the bazooka-shaped peripheral), which you can emulate by tapping directly on the area of the screen where you want to shoot.

The best and the worst of Snes9x EX+

• The best thing about Snes9x EX+ is that it allows you to turn your Android device into a SNES console, where you can play any ROM that you have stored locally on your device.

• Not a single fault can be found with Snes9x EX+. If you want to emulate Super Nintendo games, this is the app for you.
