AntSnes is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) emulator. It is developed by Summeli.

AntSnes v0.63 Icon
AntSnes by Sumelli is, for me, the best SNES emulator out there in terms of graphic rendering. I meant, the Open GL ES 1.1 support. It not just fills the screen for larger graphics, it also fixes it. You won't see ugly pixelations! As you can see on my ingame screenshot. Unlike the other SNES emulator that offers full screen but once implemented, the graphics start to pixelize. I would give AntSnes by Summeli a nine out of ten (9/10) in terms of graphics.
AntSnes v0.63 Menu (N95c)
The buttons can be set at Key Configuration and its quite easy to set up. The video settings is shown on another image below. There is a Sound Setting option, but i haven't made it work even once. Its experimental. If you happen to get to make the sound work, notify me and the developer asap.
Unfortunately, AntSnes can't emulate the sound. It was it's huge downside. I mean, SNES games are also popular for it's superb sounds and effects. So the fact that AntSnes can't emulate sound deserves a two thumbsdown. But if you enjoy playing without sound, and the fact that it saves battery life, AntSnes is still my number one SNES emulator recomendation for you.
AntSnes v0.63 Video Settings (N95c)
There are two (2) video rendering options. (1) DirectScreen Access and (2) Open GL ES 1.1 (my favorite.) DirectScreen Access may be a bit faster than Open GL ES 1.1 but Open GL ES 1.1 renders the graphics way too awesome! There are three (3) view modes. (1) Portrait, (2) Landscape and (3) N-Gage mode. There is an option too to show FPS rate but it only works best with DirectScreen Access rendering.

See? The Open GL ES 1.1 rendering looks awesome. So far, all the ROMs I tried worked.
Though this blog intended to cater s60v3 phones, I should somehow include ones for s60v5. Since s60v3 and s60v5 are quite simillar in a lot of ways. Most s60v3 softwares works for s60v5 too. We will be discussing this as time goes on and as I blog more.
The following image shows the AntSnes UI for s60v5.
Note: Image was taken from the developers site.
This image shows AntSnes v0.72 for s60v5. It has this cool D-Pad on the right.

Downloads
These binaries need to be signed if your phone is not yet hacked. You can google how to do that. Or go here to request a certificate and key under your own IMEI then sign it there online.
So here are the installers:
AntSnes v0.63 S60v3 Unsigned: Download
AntSnes v0.72 S60v5 Unsigned: Download
AntSnes also requires PIPS 1.60, Open C/C++ and SDL Library to run. You can download them here.
Isn't it great to once again be able to play these RETRO games? And on your S60v3 or S60v5 phones? Sure is. You need SNES ROMs to play the games you want. AntSnes is just the emulator. You can download them on the following sites:
FreeRoms: www.freeroms.com
Emuparadise: www.emuparadise.org
Go under Super NES (SNES) ROMs. SNES ROMs either have the extensions .SMC and .SFC. For more ROMs, there's Google.

i said "9/10 in terms of graphic rendering" because of OpenGL.
i know there are drawbacks too.well, mate. its my opinion.
