			===SNES Palette Editor===
			This tool can search the ROM for palettes. The values given when checking Autoconvert match bsnes-rawpalettes.

	The bsnes-plus fork includes a tile viewer (both from the ROM and VRAM in game), a sprite viewer and a tilemap viewer for ripping backgrounds. This is based on an older version of bsnes that has Balanced and Performance options where the accuracy is lower but doesn't affect most games and can run on less powerful computers. Due to this BIOS and chip ROM dumps do not match what current bsnes/Higan uses.

			There is a mod called bsnes-rawpalettes that changes the palettes to the internal colors, this version is recommended for ripping.

	===bsnes/~~Higan~~===		===bsnes/higan===

	~~Higan, formerly known as~~ bsnes is a very accurate SNES emulator that supports most, if not all SNES games. Apart from the SA-1 games, the emulator is cycle accurate to a SNES meaning that it is nearly as close as you can get to the console. ~~It also runs games that other emulators have problems with such as Speedy Gonzales and displays the shadows in Air Strike Patrol. Higan does require a powerful computer and~~ requires separate ROM dumps for the various chips that the SNES had e.g. DSP-1 (Pilotwings, Super Mario Kart), CX4 (Mega Man X 2 and 3). ~~Older versions of~~ bsnes ~~have lower requirements~~ and ~~are~~ easier to use ~~because they have~~ Balanced and Performance options where the accuracy is lower but doesn't affect most games and can run on less powerful computers.		bsnes (also higan) is a very accurate SNES emulator that supports most, if not all SNES games.

This requires separate ROM dumps for the various chips that the SNES had e.g. DSP-1 (Pilotwings, Super Mario Kart), CX4 (Mega Man X 2 and 3). It also runs games that other emulators have problems with such as Speedy Gonzales and displays the shadows in Air Strike Patrol. This was originally known as bsnes however this was split into higan where it supported more systems and is more accurate, this was later also split into ares supporting other systems. bsnes was later relaunched making it more easier to use, more optimized and also has the ability to run the ''Super Mario World'' hacks that previously only ran on ZSNES.

			The bsnes-plus fork includes a tile viewer (both from the ROM and VRAM in game), a sprite viewer and a tilemap viewer for ripping backgrounds. This is based on an older version of bsnes that has Balanced and Performance options where the accuracy is lower but doesn't affect most games and can run on less powerful computers. Due to this BIOS and chip ROM dumps do not match what current bsnes/Higan uses.

	While not as accurate as ~~Higan~~, it can run on less powerful computers and is one of the oldest emulators that still gets updated today.		While not as accurate as higan, it can run on less powerful computers and is one of the oldest emulators that still gets updated today.

	===[[BizHawk]]===		===[[BizHawk]]===

	BizHawk uses an older version of ~~Higan called~~ bsnes where it still had the Balanced and Performance options so requirements are lower to run. Thankfully it has a sprite/background/tile viewer that is simple to use even though palette select is a bit buggy and to view backgrounds that use two modes (e.g. 1 and 7), you would have to change the scanlines. It also has SNES9X has an option however does not have the sprite viewer.
