In the left menu bar, scroll down to Software > Applications.Go to the Apple logo in the top left of your screen and select About This Mac > System Report.Here’s how to check whether the game or app you want to use is 32 or 64-bit compatible. The same applies to some music production or DJ software for Mac that have lots of 32 bit plugins that will no longer work in the latest versions of macOS or on an M1/M2 Mac. The most notable program is Microsoft Office 2011 but there are also others like MetaTrader, Adobe CS5 and CS6, Aperture, older versions of iTunes, iBooks, iPhoto and some Steam games which are still 32-bit only. However, the problem for some Mac users is there are still some older applications and games that are still 32-bit only. If you try to run a 32 bit-app in Ventura, Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina or an M1 Mac, you’ll get the following “App is not optimized for your Mac and needs to be updated” error message: The latest Apple Silicon M1 chip Macs and M2 Macs are also incompatible with 32-bit games or apps and if you’re trying to run 32-bit an M1 Mac, we recommend you skip to the section on 32 bit games and apps on M1 & M2 Macs.

You can only install 64-bit apps on Ventura, Monterey, Big Sur and Catalina which for most people isn’t a problem as almost all major software is now 64-bit. Apple dropped support for 32-bit applications in macOS Catalina and the last macOS to support them was Mojave. Of course it doesn’t emulate games as accurately as an emulator like higan would, however it doesn’t have the associated higher-end hardware requirements.MacOS Ventura, Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina and M1 Macs do not run 32-bit apps or games.

Despite this it remains one of the best emulators for the SNES, with a very high compatibility rate and extra enhancement features. The emulator is a perfect replacement of bsnes (higan) if your computer is unable to handle the accuracy that higan uses at the sacrifice of speed. Despite the original Snes9x team abandoning the project, a new team has come together to continue work on it. Recent versions of the emulator have heavily improved its accuracy while trying not to sacrifice its speed. ZSNES was one of the first emulators to offer support for the advanced features of the SNES.

These systems being Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Android. The team behind Snes9x provides official builds for several systems. This allows it to be easily compiled across multiple systems easily. The emulator is designed to be highly portable, compatible and offer good emulation speed.

Snes9x is an open source emulator for the Super Nintendo written in C++.
