Snes9x abandoned !!!
Version 0.24 of Snes9x has been released…alas, also the last one, since now the choice to abandon the Snes9x project by its main programmer is decisive, for those who don’t know, Snes9x was abandoned by its programmer because he had been urged by NINTENDO to abandon the project “the reason is very clear” and also because he was fed up with the continuous ripping of the code by other Super Nintendo emulator programmers so it is clear why he decided to stop programming this exceptional emulator.
