Is there an ETA for native a x86_64 version?

[indubitableness]

I currently use multilib and can run zsnes just fine. I've used that other snes emulator for its native 64 bit and wasn't particularly fond of it. zsnes seems to run more games and is more configurable.

I am, however, curious if there's been progress porting to x86_64. I'm aware the developers are busy, and I can certainly be patient for another version as the latest release feels "compleat..."

The language that ZSNES is programmed in (x86 assembly) basically makes it impossible for a native 64 bit version.

Until all of ZSNES' code is ported to C, a 64 bit version is not going to happen.

What about that other OTHER emulator that can compile as a 64-bit binary and runs more games than zsnes? (hint: it's not snes9x)

We are not porting to x86_64. The current direction is to make it more portable, not to lock it in another assembly language.

We appreciate your patience.
But still no ETA. Even if we give an ETA, it's fake and will only blow up in your face.


The only zsnes ETA you can believe is called a download link.
