BSNES 0.4.7 - SNES emulator focuses on accuracy over performance. (Free)

BSNES has a somewhat different purpose to most emulators; it focuses on accuracy over performance. To that end, it does not include any game specific hacks, or idle-loop skipping optimizations commonly found in other emulators. To add to the fun, it uses a cycle accurate hardware emulation. The net result of all this is the highest system requirements of any software I've released to date; those without a G5 class machine need not apply. If you meet the requirements, however, this is the most accurate SNES emulation available on the Macintosh platform.

WHAT'S NEW

Version 0.4.7:

• In sync with the latest version for PC (again!). The major change in this release is support for the SuperFX chip (Yoshi's Island, Starfox, etc).
• Began using profile directed optimization in Xcode, which gives roughly a 10% speed up.

REQUIREMENTS

PowerPC G5+, Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
