This allows players to play video games designed for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on platforms such as PC, mobile devices, or modern consoles. However, it is important to note that downloading and using emulators and ROMs (game files) of games may be illegal, as it can infringe on the intellectual property rights of the original creators.
