I started a poll/discussion thread a month ago about which way people preferred to play gba games on their 9.2 3ds. It was fun to read peoples arguments and the poll had over 150 votes That thread can be found here:

There are a lot of hype about SNES VC injection right now. So I thought it would be fun to start a similar thread, but this time about SNES VC injection VS. Retroarch SNES emulation.
I think SNES injection is very cool, no doubt about it! It would be awesome to have SNES games as CIAs, with banners and icons! But, I still prefer PocketSNES 99 days of 100. Why?
-Because PocketSNES plays many special chip games in fullspeed (Yoshis Island, Super Mario RPG, Kirby Super Star, Kirbys Dreamland 3, Mega Man X2, Mega Man X3, Street Fighter Alpha 2 (Use catsfc), Super Mario Kart etc...)
-Because in emulation you can tweak the image however you like. 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, whatever. Personally I prefer 1:1 or 4:3. But there are some games (Super Punch Out, Mario Kart, Street Fighter Alpha 2 etc.) that uses different (smaller) native resolutions. For those games it is very nice to adjust the image just like the way I want to play it. No compromises!
- In Retroarch you can turn off the lower screen. In SNES VC you will always have that pointless, ugly looking menu screen.
There is however a small possibility that I will have a folder in my home menu dedicated to SNES games. But that will only happen if Nintendo releases Star Fox and other special chip games that PocketSNES struggles with.
Your thoughts?
