Mednafen, an acronym for "My Emulator Doesn't Need A Frickin' Excellent Name", is a well-known multi-console emulator developed by Ryphecha. This open-source project can simulate over a dozen classic gaming consoles including the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES/ Super Famicom) with an emphasis on accuracy and compatibility.
Formerly called Nintencer, Mednafen is known for its unfriendly shell-only user interface that takes a while to get used to. The software has no GUI, and every operation requires extensive dragging and dropping. Whenever a crash happens, the error log will be shown on a generated text file with the file name "stdout". If that sounds too inconvenient for you, you might want to try a couple of third-party GUI launchers available that you can download externally.
Please note that every game has a region, and each region requires a particular BIOS which makes it a bit of a hassle to set up initially.
Mednafen Emulator download can be obtained free to play Super Nintendo. Available for multiple platforms including Windows, Linux, Android and Wii with fastest download speeds on EmulatorDownload.net. This SNES Emulator (also known as My Emulator Doesn't Need A Frickin' Excellent Name, Nintencer) is in English and can run games online in high quality. Mednafen is developed by Ryphecha and Mednafen Team. If you like this Nintendo emulator then also see related emulators such as Snes9x EX+ and Bsnes.
