Hermes joins the “Black Friday” fun and can be bought only today for 8€, instead of 15$, directly from the publisher DragonBox Shop! Shipping costs are not included!

SNES9x for 3DS is a high-compatibility SNES emulator for your old 3DS / 2DS. It runs many games at full speed (60 fps). It supports games that use CX4 chip (Megaman X2/X3), and the SDD-1 chip (Star Ocean, Super Street Fighter 2 Alpha). It can also play games that use the SuperFX chip (Yoshi’s Island, etc) but they run with plenty of frame skips. It has generally much high compatibility than existing SNES emulators on the old 3DS because it uses Snes9x 1.43 as a base, and is a good alternative if your existing emulators cannot play all the games.

Changes:

* Fixed the New 3DS ZL/ZR button problem for CIA versions.

Hermes is an extraordinary Jump’n’ Run game with plenty of bad taste humour. Adding now up to the long list of ports is the Playstation Portable (PSP) release! Go ahead and catch the chicken, or stay hungry for supper 🙂
