About
bsnes is a multi-system emulator that began development on 2004-10-14. It currently supports the following systems:

- Game Boy Advance
bsnes also supports the following subsystems:

bsnes focuses on accuracy and clean code above all else. It never uses speed or compatibilty hacks. As a result, the minimum system requirements are greater than with other emulators.

Casual gamers are encouraged to use the compatibility profile, which is twice
as fast under SNES emulation.
Enthusiasts are encouraged to use the accuracy
profile, which is more precise.
Developers creating new SNES code are
encouraged to use laevateinn, the bsnes debugger.
Releases are always bleeding-edge — regressions may be present. If stability is required, choose a previous release that has been well-tested.
