I supose you are using composite video.
If you have an oscilloscope, check the signal. This green vertical bar seems the chroma burst, that normally does not appears in screen, and the picture seems shifted to the right, perhaps the horizontal sync is not correct.
Raj:
Can't help much with electronics of it (I've never even seen an SNES on real life, let alone ever opened it.), but legally, you are legally allowed to emulate the games of which, you own cartridges of.

That may be true in India, i wouldn't know, but certainly is not true in Germany.

The only true legal way would not to just own the cartrige and download the game somewhere.
You would have to make your own copy of your own cartridge. That would be allowed as "Privatkopie" - "private copy". You are not allowed to distribute this though.
And if there is an additional copy protection on the cartridge (Wasn't there a security chip on at least some of the nintendo games?) you are not allowed to make your Privatkopie anymore, as it is not allowed to circumvent any kind of copy protection.
jzx:
The NES cartridges have a protection chip, the famicon ones no.
Some cartridges have ram o nvram, paging circuits, logic to enhance the graphics, audio generators somtimes. Suposedly are emulated by the emulator.
I dont known in snes, but in nes the protection chip only resets the cpu if it is no present, but does not encrypt the data. Of course, if the memory is paged, you must change the pages to copy all of them.
Aside, some prefer to use the real console because of controllers, nostalgia, etc. And if posible with a CRT.
