About SSNES for PS3:
Click to View!
Due to be released within the next day or two is version 0.9.5 of SSNES as well as the initial release of the PS3 and 360 ports. SSNES is a multi-platform, multi-system emulator with ports being worked on for PC, OSX, PS3, 360 and a few more I believe.
As I said, it's a multi-system emulator. Don't let the name fool you, it's not just for SNES games! It currently supports games from systems such as NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, SMS, GG, Genesis & FBA using selectable cores from various emulators to ensure the best compatibility, accuracy and performance for the end user.
To demonstrate the capabilities of SSNES and more specifically maister's manual reader shader I've been working on some implementations for the past couple months to show off just a taste of some of this shader's uses.

Pages of the manual are changed by the user with a key combination of (enter+Q or W) on PC and (Start+L1 or R1) on PS3.
The biggest limitation of the shader is your imagination. As demonstrated in the videos below, it can be used for things such as maps, guides, instruction manuals, cheats, passwords, etc.
Additionally, the dimensions, positions and number of pages are completely customizable. For example, the Mortal Kombat 1 example is only 8 pages while the Chrono Cross one is 136!

DOWNLOADS:
Due to restrictions on the PS3 I've created two versions for each download.
The PC versions are better quality and zipped.
The PS3 versions are smaller and in .PKG files
I haven't tested them on any other systems but you're welcome to try

About SSNES 0.9.5:
Click to View!
SSNES 0.9.5
This is a major release that marks the first proper release of PlayStation 3
and XBox 360 ports by Squarepusher.
PlayStation 3 port is quite accomplished, and is more or less feature
complete. XBox 360 port has also received a lot of work, and it'll be more complete
for a future 0.9.6 release.
Both PS3 and 360 ports have a small frontend similar to Phoenix that eases use
of different cores, called Salamander.
Rest of code base has been tightened up to accomodate that SSNES now runs on 6+
platforms.
Console
- PlayStation 3 port quite complete (Squarepusher).
- Lots of work on XBox 360 port (Squarepusher).
- Add SSNES-Salamander for PS3 and 360 (Squarepusher).
General
- Add experimental audio rate control. This will dynamically adjust input rate
on the fly to possibly eliminate all stuttering in video if enabled.
- Add new SSE-optimized windowed sinc resampler for improved audio quality.
If SSNES is built on 32-bit x86 and sinc is used,
it is recommended to compile with SSE enabled for major speedup.
Old hermite resampler is still available in compile time (--disable-sinc).
32-bit Windows build still uses hermite by default.
64-bit Windows build has sinc enabled as availability of SSE can be guaranteed.
- Add resampler test cases to objectively verify quality and correctness.
- Add IPS patching support.
- Add --no-patch option to disable all rom patching.
- Add compatibility layer for legacy network implementations.
- kp_plus/kp_minus detected properly again.
- Add fixes to C++ build.
- Fix regression with screenshots (Mziab).
- Bump maximum players to 8 to accomodate possible needs in future.
- Add SET_VARIABLES extension interface to libsnes. Cores can advertise
support for very obscure settings that cannot be supported generically.
- Add SET_ROTATION interface to allow implementations to defer screen rotation to
hardware if available.
- Add audio batch callback that improves performance of certain libsnes
implementations.
- Add *_equal semantics to state tracker. Allowing checking for multiple
buttons pressed at once. Useful for certain shaders.
- Fix bug with XAudio in nonblock mode.
- .cgp shaders can take absolute paths for shaders. Mostly useful on consoles.
- Add code to be able to cleanly reinit Cg.
- If output sample rate is not supported in OSS, do not fail, and use the
given rate.
- Fixup compatibility with very recent FFmpeg. Should now work seamlessly with v52/v53/v54 libav*.
- Add option to use FFV1 instead when support for H.264 recording is compiled in.
- If loading a library fails on Windows, the more precise error code is
logged.
- Movie playback doesn't fail if the recording and playing core doesn't match.
A warning will be logged instead.
- Allow stopping movie playback early.
- Add device selection to XAudio2 and DirectSound.
- BSV movie error handling is more lenient, and tries to give warnings about
possible incompatibilities rather than throw an error. (AlexFolland).
- Savestates that have path appended with ".auto" will be automatically loaded
on startup. Useful for arcade-style games.
- Lots of minor bug fixes and cleanups allround.
GUI
- Make the updater more intuitive to use by adding dedicated buttons for using
and downloading libsnes cores.
- Fix bug where torrentzipped archives were crashing the GUI.

Slim/Full build is available from Phoenix GUI and it's the recommended way to update SSNES to save massive bandwidth (~1MB vs ~15MB).
