Check out SNES 9x. There is a new version just released (but only for PPC Mac!). The good news is that the source will soon also be released. Way cool. Open source emulators mean that the 'scene' can stop bickering amongst itself and just write cool code *grin*. Thanks to Garrett LeSage for sending this one in.

For those of you out of touch with the emulation scene, SNES9x was the coolest of the super nintendo emulators. It was getting fairly usable before the author got sick of being ripped off and quit a few months ago. According to Garrett and this page development will now continue, with open source distribution! This is kinda rare on emulation scene, but it is definately cool news.
