Here’s something to keep you all busy while you wait for 5.50 GEN-D,as Zack has released SNES9X Euphoria Release 2.1. This build further improves the Super Famicom / Super Nintendo emulator with a large amount of bugs fixed. Plus further speed improvements. I’ll say this is now the best SNES Emulator there is. Good work Zack and keep at it!

SNES9X Euphoria R2.1 Changelog:

[+] Bug where you couldn’t have more than 200 roms in the ROMS folder or the emulator would crash is now fixed. (I tested with 800 roms in there)

[+] Bug where the emulator would freeze then hard-power-off your PSP after trying to load more than 3 roms is now fixed. (I tried loading rom after rom at least 12 times with no issues)

[+] Bug where you couldn’t return to the menu after running a game is now fixed. (thank god lol)

[+] Bug where emulator would hard-power-off PSP when exiting rather than return to the Xmb is now fixed (both in file menu and main menu)

[+] Bug where the emulator wouldn’t start on Gen firmware fixed (tested by myself on 5.50GenC and Cmbeke on 5.50GenB)

[+] Possible minor speedups from code cleanup.

[+] Removed the intro screen for now. (will be configurable in the next build)

[+] Added the latest version of the snesadvance.dat file (Adds more speedhacks)

To get the best performance use the following settings:

Render : PSP Accelerated
Frameskip : 3 (frameskip @ 1 seems to be sufficient for most games to play at 60fps)

Ok so we had the snes9xTYL MECM 091011-4 released just over a week ago. But Zack’s modded Snes9xTYL R1 build is the fastest yet. Running most games at a cool 55-60fps (PAL), thats with 3 frame skip and 4:3 ratio zoomed as the setting. I can confirm that testing Donkey Kong Country running at a smooth 60fps (see below video) and FF4 that its indeed the fastest SNES emulator out there.

Before FF4 would slow down somewhat in the fight sequences, well not now. Check out for yourself.

SNES9X Euphoria R1 Release text:

The only game I have tested with my version is Kirby Super Star, which I know had terrible FPS with other Snes9X releases (usually < 30Fps)

With my build, using the following settings, Kirby Super Star runs @ a minimum of 44Fps and a max of 60fps with the usual fps being 50fps.

Settings :

Renderer : PSP Accelerated
FrameSkip : 3

This does not generate a jerky experience, it finally feels playable

Other testing :

Donkey Kong Country : Same settings as above :
Min FPS : 58
Max FPS : 60

The speedups should be global, every game should be a lot faster now

Future :

I plan on improving speed more, improving stability and applying the changes from Snes9X1.51 to Snes9X euphoria also (which is running off the 1.42 code base)

Its been a while, I believe over a year since we have had an update to Snes9xTYL, the Super Famicom (NTSC) / Super Nintendo (PAL) emulator for PSP. This emulator lets you play your classic SNES games, fully accelerated on your PSP via the PSP CPU/GPU and media engine.

While the change log is small, lets say its still great to see speed improvements and bugfixes. Time to break out some good old SNES games like Super Mario Bros, Final Fantasy 3, Pilot Wings, Legend of Zelda, Secret of Mana, F-Zero and Super Mario World 2 etc etc…Ah the memories

Snes9xTYL MECM 091011-3 (version 10-11-09 release 3) change log:

Bug fixes

Improved emulation speed

If your computer can display Japanese text correctly maybe you can translate the release text?

Here’s some screen shots I took while giving it a quick test run:
