Why are people (potentially you the reader) still using it, what with its DOS-era pseudo-window GUI and low emulation accuracy?
But why ZSNES?Emulators made more of my childhood than consoles
Considering how bad Brazil gets it for consoles releases, yeah.Emulators made more of my childhood than consoles
i used zsnes a little bit, in the most of time of my life i used snes9x (i still have the old version that i used when i was a child XD)But why ZSNES?
sometimes of my life i got some console like snes and mega drive, but most part of time it was on emulatorsConsidering how bad Brazil gets it for consoles releases, yeah.
I hadn't considered nostalgia as something in ZSNES's favor but there you go.
I'm not.
Really though:
- It has a very low memory footprint. Especially compared to high accuracy emulators like bsnes/higgan.
- Many people are just used to it and now.
- It works for >90% of basic use cases.
- Emulator names have sticking power. See Gens and PJ64 where there are better alternatives.
- People who actually care about anything that makes ZSNES a worse emulator have switched long ago. The remaining people just want to play a popular ROM sometimes and don't care about transparency in Speedy Gonzales or CD audio in LttP.
This very site lists ZSNES as the best rated emulator.a PJ64 alternative? PJ64 had the best compatability the last time I tested banjo tooie and such. most other emulators had issues with those games. it is still the best rated emulator here with 73144 Votes:

so?
SMW Central would disagree with that rating.This very site lists ZSNES as the best rated emulator.
Higganthe only issue I've had with zsnes is that I can't seem to exit the emulator with esc unless I go into task manager to exit first. what's the recommended emulator nowadays? I'm still using zsnes actually.
For general playing I'd use Snes9x.the only issue I've had with zsnes is that I can't seem to exit the emulator with esc unless I go into task manager to exit first. what's the recommended emulator nowadays? I'm still using zsnes actually.

I thought mupen64plus was the de facto now?
