pSNES for Nintendo Switch

A Switch Snes9x-based SNES emulator with save states, scaling and the pEMU library interface.

An existing Switch homebrew setup and your own supported SNES ROM files. Performance and enhancement-chip support vary by game. Use the Switch build rather than pEMU assets for other platforms.

These links preserve the verified version above. Check the linked release and your actual CFW/system version before installation.

1. Copy the Switch NROPut psnes.nro in sd:/switch/psnes/ and launch it through hbmenu.
2. Prepare your SNES libraryUse sd:/switch/psnes/roms/ for your own game dumps, or configure a different directory in config.cfg.
3. Use the current library formatVersion 7.x looks for optional gamelist.xml metadata within ROM folders. Keep any custom artwork with its matching metadata; it is separate from the emulator build.
4. Check each gameConfigure controls and scaling, then test an in-game save. Enhancement-chip support and performance can differ by game. Keep save backups before updating.

sd:/switch/psnes/psnes.nro
sd:/switch/psnes/roms/ [your games]
config.cfg: custom ROM paths
gamelist.xml: optional folder metadata

Check the ROM path and supported format for an empty list. A game-specific rendering or performance problem is not proof that the NRO was copied incorrectly; consult the project’s compatibility information.
