SNES9x PS3 4.4.6 (FW 1.92+/FW 3.15/FW 3.41/CFW 3.55)
Changes are detailed below, and now include HD shaders and several fixes as follows:
==================================================
Build 4.4.6 (16-02-2010)
==================================================
- HD version and Normal version merged into one - there are now HD shaders that do the same as the previous HD version.
* HD shaders (which upscale the resolution to 512x448) instead of hacked HD version. '4xSoft-HD' is currently the best out of the HD shaders - more to come.
* The HD version in version 4.4.5 ran in interlaced mode - with the HD shaders, you can run in either progressive or interlaced mode.
- Fixed PAL50/PAL60 automatic activation in 576i/p mode.
- Fixed Rise Of The Robots interlacing issues - other games which use interlaced mode also corrected.
- Fixed Multiplayer controls - only player 1 worked.
tried everything with AC3 and rebug 4.41. just black screen and vita disconnects. ps3 needs a hard reboot.
also NOT working, injustice and God of War...
It's just awesome to be able to play "Lost Vikings" again , this time on my PS3 !!! Thank you!
Unfortunately i cannot try it right now, as my wife is watching tv... :-(
Update: A new SNES9x r2 binary is now available with changes noted HERE followed by a SNES9x v1.0.3 port by Alex793 which includes some more fixes for those interested.
I got my Teensy++ Thursday and decided to port SNES9x (Super Nintendo Emulator) over to the PS3 as a little exercise to play with the Cell SDK.
It's pretty rough but it seems to work OK. It will load (uncompressed) ROMs off of /dev_usb000.
If anyone is interested, the code is linked above via GitHub with a binary attached below.

It's a new port to PS3 LV2 OS based on the vanilla SNES9x source.
To build:
- Install Cell SDK >= 1.92. You know how to find it. Configure according to the install instructions (make sure to set CELL_SDK).
- Make pkg
- Load the pkg and your ROMs onto a usb drive.
- Install on PS3 using your jailbreak device of choice.
Things that suck:
- Lots of SNES9x features are not supported yet. No save states, for example. Most of these are really simple to implement.
- Sound code is rubbish. It more or less works, but you'll probably hear the occasional skip.
- Performance isn't great.
- UI. Or rather, there isn't one.
- So much more.
