If you are a purist who wants to support the official re-releases on Nintendo Switch Online, stick to the legal path. Pay your $50 a year for a rotating selection of 50 games.

These contain every single game ever officially released for the console across all regions (USA, Japan, Europe).

Once you've chosen an emulator, simply download the SNES ROM pack and extract the files to your computer. Then, open the emulator and load the ROM pack to start playing.

Many modern emulators (like Snes9x or RetroArch ) can read ROMs directly from within .zip files, which saves significant storage space.
