How to Use

1. Load the Game

First, place your game ROM file in a folder on your phone. Note that it must be in ZIP compressed format; regular NES files cannot be read directly.

Open the app. The main interface is a menu bar. Click the first option, "Load," then select the directory of the game program and click the ZIP compressed file to run the game.

2. Virtual Keyboard Settings

This refers to the emulator gamepad buttons on your phone screen. Enter the virtual keyboard settings and click on button layout settings to adjust the position of some buttons. After setting it up, you can adjust other parameters such as button width and other parameters. You can hide or turn off unrelated button positions and adjust button brightness.

3. Game Settings

Click on Settings in the main interface to enter. Here you can adjust game video parameters and emulator speed-up/downshifting functions. For the highest game performance, set the process priority to the highest.

4. Emulator System Settings

In the video settings, you can adjust the game's visual quality, such as screen size and video filters. Selecting a linear filter will simulate the effect of an old-fashioned television.

5. Using Cheat Codes

First, run the game. After starting, pause the game and press the back button on your phone. A prompt will appear asking if you want to exit; click "No" to return to the menu, or click the menu in the upper left corner to return to the main menu.

Then you'll see the "Cheat" button is activated. Click it to enter and select "Add/Edit".

Summary

Snes9X EX+ is an advanced open-source Nintendo emulator. Essentially, you can place games on your internal storage or SD card and browse them within the app to start playing. ROMs can be in .smc or .sfc format, or packaged in a .zip file. We recommend using a device with a 1GHz or higher GHz processor for emulated gaming. It runs very smoothly, and those interested are welcome to download and try it.
