Snes9x é um emulador multiplataforma para o vídeo-game Super Nintendo. Basicamente permite jogar a maioria dos jogos de SNES (ou Super Famicom) no Computador.
O projeto original do Snes9x foi fundado por Gary Henderson e Jerremy Koot como uma colaboração de suas tentativas anteriores de emular o SNES (snes96 e snes97).
