SNES9X-GTK(6)

NAME
snes9x-gtk - Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulator

SYNOPSIS
snes9x-gtk [-filter type] [-mutesound] [rom-file]

DESCRIPTION
Snes9x is a portable, freeware Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) emulator. It basically allows you to play most games designed for the SNES and Super Famicom Nintendo game systems on your PC or Workstation; they include some real gems that were only ever released in Japan.

snes9x-gtk is an unofficial port of Snes9x with a GTK+ graphical frontend.

With no ROM file argument, snes9x-gtk will start its graphical user interface. When a ROM file is named on the command line, snes9x-gtk will start emulation immediately.

Unlike the original snes9x, snes9x-gtk doesn't extensively use command-line options to affect its behaviour. Instead, use the GUI and/or keyboard shortcuts from within the emulator.

  OPTIONS

-filter type
    Use a filter to scale the video. Filter types are:
    none supereagle 2xsai super2xsai hq2x hq3x hq4x epx ntsc

The -filter option does the same thing as the GUI's "Apply Scaling Filter" selection (under Preferences / Display).

-mutesound
    Disable audio output. The sound CPU is still emulated. Note that this option will enable the "mute sound?" checkbox in the Preferences user interface, whose value will be saved across sessions (you must use the GUI to unmute the audio).

FILES
~/.snes9x/snes9x.xml
Configuration file. Not intended to be edited directly; stores the settings made in the GUI. To return all settings to their defaults, remove this file.

~/.snes9x/snapshots/*
Saved states, named after ROM filenames.

~/.snes9x/*.png
Screenshots, named after ROM filenames.
