I noticed that you added some options that allow you to play older hacks without any issue. However, on that topic, I'd like to request an option for the old ZSNES sound emulation, if feasible. Honestly, I feel really nostalgic for that sound emulation, and I'd really appreciate an option for that small detail. Thanks!

If you mean things like poor noise emulation so that some sound effects sound screechy, or are simply missing, then no.

If you mean the clearer, less fuzzy sound from not having proper gaussian interpolation, you can get that by using the sound interpolation options. Change it to something like cubic.

And port that emulation from x86 assembly to pure C? Heck no.

Adding support for improperly coded ROM hacks was one thing, but intentionally reverting years of improvements in the sound core for the sake of nostalgia is a but of a tough sell, especially considering the fact that if you really want that experience, ZSNES actually runs just fine on Windows 10, you can just use it and get a 100% recreation of the experience you're asking for.

It's been many years since I last used Snes9x but, revisiting it now via the "v1.61 final" flatpak, I cannot help but notice that, either I'm blind, or there are no audio interpolations exposed in the GUI?

It's under the Emulation tab in the "Hacks" section.

Whoever compiled your build didn't enable the extra hacks.

It's literally (not figuratively!) just the one and only flatpak available:

Does that mean it's actually an unofficial build?

There is no official build, except for Windows. It's source only. Go here: https://github.com/flathub/com.snes9x.Snes9x/issues and tell them to enable the dangerous hacks option.

Nobody is maintaining the snes9x flatpak package, I created a pull request to upgrade to version 1.62.3 but nobody has approved it and I don't think anybody will approve it since they don't maintain the project.
