Looking forward to trying this with Cannon Fodder and Lemmings 2!!

(Lemmings 1 had no mouse support on the SNES).

I'm a bit confused on how to setup .cht files. I understand once they're made that the extension is removed and changed to .cht, but as far as actually setting them up, I'm confused....

I've made an attempt at

Sorry for the silly question but I can't find what is the difference between 'Save SRAM' and 'save Snapshot'.
Are there any differences between them?

SRAM emulates how the original game would save to its cartridge. ie. Zelda games let you save in dungeons, but when you resume your game, you're at the entrance.

A Snapshot (AKA State) is a dump of the emulated console's memory. You can save anywhere. ie. Just before a tricky jump, if you mess up - reload the Snapshot and you'll be exactly where you were when you saved.

Hope that makes sense.

This is awesome, what i've been waiting for.

the scope works great. tested with super scope 6 and yoshi's safari. much better cursor than other emulators i've tried.

the mouse still needs some work though. its a little off in mario paint but usable. cannon fodder however is not. the configuration is out and seems to vary depending on the level (size, and your position). i hope this gets resolved soon, i've got a taste for it now. been looking forward to cannon fodder for a while.
