Development of ZSNES was started on July
3, 1997 by zsKnight and _Demo_. The first version was released
on October 14, 1997 for MS-DOS. Since then, official ports have
been made for Windows and Linux. The emulator became open source
under GPL licensure on April 2, 2001. During March of 2006, the
source repository was moved from SourceForge.net to BountySource.[1]
ZSNES is still being actively developed despite the departure of
its original developers.
ZSNES is notable in that it was among the first SNES emulators
to emulate most coprocessors at some level, with the exception
of the SPC7110. It was also the first SNES emulator to offer the
HQ2X video filter.
Aside from emulating much of the system's internal and
external hardware to obtain a high compatibility rate with
games, ZSNES has many notable features as of the current
version:
* Video scale adjustment
* Video filters
* Video synchronization
* Windowed and fullscreen display modes
* Rewinding and fast-forwarding of gameplay
* Movie recording in ZMV format
* Music ripping in SPC format
* Soft-patching in IPS format
* State saving and loading in ZST format
* Cheat code creation, modification, and application in CHT
format
* GUI color customization
