SNES and Bsnes EMulation

[Lordmonkus]

Yup, a few good popular games in there that the bSnes performance core has problems with.

My recommendations for Snes cores would be:

1: BSnes Accuracy (Mercury core is fine)
2: BSnes Balanced (Mercury core is fine)
3: Snes9x (no year)
4: Whatever runs the games you want to play and runs on your system fine.

Basically use the BSnes Accuracy or Balanced if you can but if both of those are running slow on your system use Snes9x.

Just curious, why would you recommend Snes9x-no year over Snes9x 2010…?

I use Snes9x 2010 because I heard it has compatibility performance improvements over the original 1.52 version. Snes9x also supports retroachievements, as far as I know the Bsnes cores have yet to implement this feature.

Ah, that makes sense. I've always found information regarding core changes vague & hard to find.

The wiki isn't updated as often as it should & I don't have time to follow each core commit on GitHub [emoji13]

Retroachievements is a deal-breaker for me, emulation accuracy is still not noticable enough for me to switch to a non-achievement core.

Although... If Bsnes supported RA I would switch in a heartbeat! [emoji28]

No thanks, i never used the dirty plugin cheat carts back in the day, and refuse to now. (especially as save states are so easy  )

It reminds me of an old GeoCities page... still trying to figure out if this is intentional ?
