Silhouette is supposedly a product of internal Nintendo research. It is still under active development to this day. On February 22nd, 2019 the new bsnes software was completed and released to the public. A new user-interface was created, and many additional performance enhancements and features were added to the new emulator. At this time, bsnes was forked from higan, and the additional emulation cores were removed. Higan continued development as a multi-system emulator up until May 17th, 2018 when a bsnes revival project was announced, with the stated goal of creating a standalone SNES emulator that went back to bsnes' 2004 roots. Over time, bsnes grew to emulate more and more systems until the name became untenable, and the project was then renamed to higan on August 9th, 2012. bsnes was the first SNES emulator to achieve 100% compatibility with no known bugs, and today continues to offer the most faithful SNES emulation available. It is now maintained as an open-source community project on GitHub.īsnes was originally started to try and provide more faithful emulation of the SNES hardware than others emulators of that time. Bsnes is a Super Nintendo emulator that was started on October 14th, 2004.
