I remember back in the day the emulator Snes9x was one of the best emulators for Super Nintendo emulation, but it's not on the Megathread. Is it no longer trustworthy or was it just missed?

Sorry if this was already asked in this community. I would've searched but Lemmy (or at least my Lemmy instance, I suppose) doesn't seem to have a search function for intra-Community searching.

Cheers.

I still use Zsnes actually.

The other day I tried to use bsnes and it was stuttering in a CPU capable of running Red Dead Redemption 2. I went to check the task manager and it was using 20% of one of my 4GHz cores, and it still stuttered. I remembered that I used to emulate these games with Zsnes in a 800 MHz Pentium III CPU, so I decided to go back to Zsnes and it worked perfectly, using less than 10% of one 4GHz core.

Theres some something nice about zsnes's innacuracy and hacks. Makes me nostalgic for the early days of gaming console emulation. There was a time in my late teenage years in which it was all I was interested in. It was such a cool concept.
