I have a lot of reasons to think blargsnes could handle special chips (on REALLY old hardware) but i will say i actually give a damn about your words.

The emulator, imo, needs to be more accurate before it starts diving into enhancement chips. Timing and synchronization are the main culprits, and enhancement chips rely on that.

Yeah, the emulation is poor and hacky.
1.- SNEmulDS runs pretty good SNES games on DS.
2.- Blargsnes has a poor progress and almost a dead project.
3.- Retroarch is done by doing a decent emulation on New3DS, however is a cross-platform multiemulator, why to care only on one system.

There are many other technical reasons to give, but is a waste of time, in short Blargsnes NEEDS to be retaken.

SNEmulDS uses the DS GPU, which works better with 2D. It also works better with a flashcart that has an onboard CPU

The O3DS has enough power to properly emulate SNES games. The thing is, building a good emulator for O3DS is harder than building one for N3DS, because it needs to be more optimized to make up for the weaker hardware. Perhaps someone can try asking archeide if he wants to port snemulds to 3DS or take over blargsnes.

Also retroarch looks like sh*t.

    I just played little of "Still Wakes The Deep" , just came to gamepass today, its alright, kinda creepy. I'm not usually a horror game fan, but it looks really good graphic wise, esp w 4k. I admit it made me jump a few times.
