Libretro is a simple but powerful development interface that allows for the easy creation of emulators, games and multimedia applications that can plug straight into any libretro-compatible frontend. This development interface is open to others so that they can run these pluggable emulator and game cores also in their own programs or devices. This is a port of Snes9x 1.52+ to Libretro (previously called SNES9x Next), rewritten in C with several optimizations and speed hacks. Snes9x is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System / Super Famicom emulator.
