Well, ZSNES is free to be sold, as long as you include the source code.

Anyone have a file list of what you can download?

I would like to know exaclty which emulator they're using, if there is source code, and what format the ROMs are in.

On there demo version, it's the 1.42 version of ZSNES. They renamed it to "Super Nintendo.exe" and they are NOT including the "Licence.txt" and documentation.

EDIT:
The Demo Setup can be opened in a Compresion Program that supports EXE files.

I don't know why, but just the thought of someone trying to sell an emulator+some roms makes me want to punch that person in the face... and also punch the person who was enough of a dipshit to actually pay for it and support the asshole.

It's clearly from zsnes - the shots have all 2 black lines on the bottom.
Anyone can sue this dude for licence infringment and get loads of money ? That could help.

$26.95... let's ask for something like $26950 in stupidity refunds.
