A tragic tale :c

wow bsnes is a CPU hog

but the author says it's the most accurate emulator

read a whole article about it today

also the author byuu is responsible for the MSU-1 standard

link to article?

he says you need a 3ghz cpu for full emu

https://www.tested.com/tech/gaming/2712-why-perfect-hardware-snes-emulation-requires-a-3ghz-cpu/

its from 2011 and bsnes has improved a lot since then

because it only uses 25% on this computer

still way more than snes9x

is it noticeably different compared to snes9x?

depends on the game

i never owned a snes so i don't know all the little details

idk earthbound

the more obscure the more likely it's wrong

or won't run at all

since emulators like snes9x use all sorts of hacks to up the speed at the cost of emulation working properly

the hacks vary from game to game, so the emulator has a whole list built in of which ones go to which games

so since they can't really do every game the most popular ones get patched

i've never played secret of mana before so there could be issues with the emulation but i wouldn't notice

and my memory is bad enough i wouldn't notice even if DKC was faulty in a small way

like shadows missing somewhere

I don't think any emulator can top dolphin as my favorite

this now makes me think emulators that run on things like PSPs and DS are garbage

or raspberry pis

or the Wii

i mean compared to pc emulators yeah

they have to do a bunch of tricky shit to get games to run

for the PC i'm going to only use bsnes from now on, but for other platforms i'll use snes9x since it has MSU-1 support

wait i think that means my snes emulator on 3ds has msu-1 support

it might

because it's a branch of snes9x

MSU-1 was merged into the code a little while ago

it works on my Wii

how many more weeks before the new nintendo president of America comes out as gay?

nah

bowser can't be gay

he looks like a globohomo ceo
