Can someone explain the "ZSNES is bad" meme to me?
>>
It's not accurate.
>>
I'm not familiar with that meme. It's the only SNES emulator I ever used and it always worked fine
>>
>>320820447
it's old and not accurate
>>
You know how some people insist on that they can hear a difference between mp3 320kb/s and FLAC? It's kind of like that.
>>
its old. but mostly its just people being autistic about anyone not using the same thing they do.
>>
it's a hack job
>>
I used to be a massive ZNES enthusiast. But somewhere down the line, I had to face the fact that snes9x was the superior emulator. This reality hit me when I tried running Killer Instinct on ZNES and noticed that many textures and background graphics were glitching/spazzing on the ZNES. But when I ran it on snes9x, it ran smoothly.

I do admit I miss ZNES' user interface and customization for the cursor/interface, but that's got nothing to do with the emulation consistenty--so it's worthless.
>>
>>320820447
It does a lot of things inaccurately for the sake of performance, this can lead to problems in some games, but generally the most popular games will run fine.

One thing is that ZSNES supports a lot of things that would never, ever work on a real SNES system. This is why you get a number of SNES romhacks which are only playable on ZSNES, and not SNES9x or Higan.

Actually the developer of Higan (formerly BSNES) has a real stick up his ass about ZSNES, which is a laugh to read.
>>
>>320820447

It hasn't received an update since 2007. That was almost a decade ago.

Despite this, it manages to run well, and most games have ZSNES specific hacks and shit, because it was the only engine back then.
>>
>>320820671
SNES9X isn't flawless either though.

The latest release from 2011, v1.53, cannot emulate Umihara Kawase properly without some really bad screen flickering.
>>
>>320820623
It's odd that /mu/ bitches about lossless formats constantly, considering barely anyone there even owns any decent audiophile gear.
>>
I always hated it's shitty GUI. Damn it was terrible and even back in 2001 it was like going back to 1994 or something.
>>
>plenty of games don't even work in zsnes
>other emulators actually run those games

It's not even a question of accuracy or sound issues. Other emulators simply run more of the library making them better by default.
Then again /v/ is nothing but faggots that think more options is a bad thing.
>>
>>320820820
Lossless formats should only matter for audio editing and archival purposes.
For general consumption, some 192kbps audio should suffice.
>>
It's the only emulator that emulate most of the games and /v/ is full of hipsters who hate that.

>TLTR it just works, like vlc.
>>
Because it's old as fuck and the UI is awful.
>>
>>320820814
Well then someone ought to tally up the number of bad emulation instances for both Zsnes and Snes9x and compare the two, this way we can objectively say which is better.
>>
>>320820447
Snes9x is better
>>
>>320820839
It's literally a DOS GUI.
But to be honest I like the ZSNES GUI.
>>
>>320820968
>It's literally a DOS GUI
Which is dead and gone for a damn good reason.
>>
>>320820954

If you want to do that, you have to keep in mind that every popular SNES game has some specific fix, hack, or patch on ZSNES, while there isn't anything like that on SNES9x.

So you gotta pick a no-name game no one's heard of.
>>
>>320820447
I think it's more that it's old, hasn't been updated in forever, and other emulators have probably caught up to and surpassed it at this point.
>>
>>320821027
There are more game specific hacks built in snes9x than in ZSNES.
>>
>>320820447
ZSNES is inaccurate, even for incredibly common games like Super Mario World. ZSNES will freeze without rhythm or reason for certain games like SMRPG or Star Ocean. It can't emulate transparency correctly. Because of the way it's programmed, it will never have a x64 version without a complete rewrite. A lot of modern hardware can't even run it properly any more. You can easily program your own ROM that will execute malicious commands, which only happens on ZSNES.

I don't even get the speed reason any more. Any reasonably modern PC will run SNES9x without problems. People are just being stubborn.
>>
>>320821027
Here is the complete list of games with inbuilt hacks in ZSNES:

The GUI is absolute shit if you're playing with a mouse and keyboard but the fact that you could control the GUI with a gamepad put it head and shoulders over SNES9x. It's one of the reasons I really like Retroarch, although I'd argue that RA's GUI is far worse than ZSNES'.

I feel like I'm reading a thread from some random forum in 2002

Where's my CDi emulation? Is there progress on Saturn? I wanna play Panzer Dragoon Saga dammit. How about the X360 emu teaser I saw a few months ago?
>>
>>320823182
CDi emulation exists but it's paid-only last I heard.

Progress on Saturn is shit. Don't ever expect good Saturn emulation, its hardware is too fucked for it to ever happen in your lifetime. Just buy Panzer Dragoon Saga. And get Bomberman while you're at it. I love Saturn Bomberman, it's God Tier.

X360 emulation progress is still being made.
>>
>>320823012
Yeah, Higan is very VERY accurate, it achieves this by performing low level emulation instead of high level emulation.

The vast majority of emulators are high level, meaning they only emulate the expected response and output from the hardware.
Higan being low level, means it is emulating the actual processes which produces the responses and outputs.
>>
>>320823590
Higan's SNES core is actually 100% accurate to the hardware. It uses no game-specific hacks whatsoever. Pretty impressive, if kinda slow.

isn't Bsnes/Higan the most accurate snes emulator?
>>
>>320823958
There are still things byuu couldn't figure out because they weren't used by any game and lack any documentation. You would need decapping to attempt actual 100% accuracy to the hardware.

Also, WRAM can never be properly emulated since it's highly influenced by electromagnetism.
>>
>>320824304
That's right, the processing requirements are very high as a result.
>>
>>320822406
That's why most people run Higan cores in Retroarch. All the advantages of Higan + all the other bullshit you want tacked on.
>>
>>320824663
The Balanced bsnes core is basically the best way to emulate SNES games. Retroarch (and Libretro) is a truly smart little program.

I don't know that the image would be that dark, but that's probably just because the screen is so close.
When you step back from the display a bit and the light hits your eyes, the light masks the dark spots and it does not appear so dark.

My question is, what about romhacks? Is there a "best" emulator for romhacks? Lately been spending time with the likes of Super Metroid Redesign, SMW blabla Project v2, F-Zero Lost Tracks, Mario Kart R, and finally LoZ ALttP Parallel Worlds. They all run generally alright in ZSNES except Super Metroid Redesign, where I get the impression it is not always very responsive to my inputs.

Also, does different controllers affect responsiveness? Currently have an Xbone controller and that Logitech gamepad without rumble, F310 I think.
>>
>>320825242
Arcades don't give you headaches while you play though, people actually play like this in a monitor close to their face?
>>
>>320825471
SNES9X plays romhacks fine.
>>
>>320825242
Incidentally, this was posted on twitter by one of the most notable Nvidia engineers.
>>
>>320825471
Provided that the romhack wasn't specifically built around ZSNES's features not-existing in real hardware, SNES9x or Higan should emulate romhacks no problem.
You should even be able to run the romhack on real hardware using a flashcart, if it was developed against a reliable emulator.
>>
>>320820447
Because when it first came out, it was bad. And people can't let it go
>>
>>320825743
Well of course this is true of any first release for any emulator.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YunD4ZC0VL8
>>
>>320825743
That's not it at all. ZSNES was the best SNES emulator for a very long time and I recall SNES9x being shit with even worse sound emulation than ZSNES until the mid-2000s.
>>
>>320826291
So which one is the best now?
>>
>>320826369
Higan aka bsnes with SNES9x in second.
>>
>>320826512
Alright thanks
>>
>>320826369
Higan, which has a choice of performance, balanced, and accuracy emulation cores.

It's best to use the balanced core for general play, since there are only two games that maybe fuck up in balanced emulation, one being Uniracers.

Accuracy is if you're actually doing some sort of development or research, no real reason to use it if you're just playing the game as is.
>>
>>320821015
>Which is dead and gone for a damn good reason.

That reason being people are too retarded to type and need their hand held.
>>
>>320820447

Works well for me. The interface is pretty nostalgic too.
>>
>>320826729
You do realize that being simple and intuitive is the main goal of any UI, right? You must be a horribly sad sack of shit if using obsolete interfaces somehow makes you feel superior.
>>
>>320820447
It's the Internet Explorer of emulators. It's really easy to find and popular to use, but it hadn't been updated since like 2007 and there are a lot of other emulators since that have a much better performance. Hell if you load the SNES Test Program on ZSNES it won't even pass all the tests.
On the flipside if you're really into Super Mario World hacks a lot of them with edited music will sound like garbage on other emulators because a popular SMW music editor was built around the cheap workarounds on ZSNES.
It's still functional as a casual SNES emulator if you just wanna play all the more popular games, anybody who really goes out of the way to hate on people who use it are a bunch of elitist fucks.
>>
>>320826910
It's pretty amazing how hundreds of SMW romhacks can be compressed into a roughly 7-8mb 7zip archive, by virtue of all of them holding large portions of the exact same data in common.

Get the correct bios files into the firmware folder, then drag&drop your game onto mednafen.exe

>>
>>320830239
Why not accuracy? Is it because it's more hardware intense or something?
>>
>>320830569
Yes,accuracy is only helpful for two very obscure games.
>>
>>320830569
Much MUCH more hardware intensive. There's no real on-the-surface difference between it and Balanced, so it's better to use Balanced.
>>
>>320830569
It is quite a bit heavier, and there's less than 10 games in the entire SNES library where there's any difference between balanced and accuracy. They're all fairly obscure too.

Accuracy is more for peopl who want to develop for SNES and make sure it'll work on original hardware.
>>
>>320830452
It's easier to just use Mednafen's RetroArch cores then using the program itself. You can find all the BIOS files that you need to get everything working on the emulation general wiki.

Hey, but I thought I heard the first SNES emu was from 1994, though it wasn't ZSNES

ZSNES emulates nothing accurately and is a hacky kludgeball designed to get games running with sound on a 486. Impressive in its own right but pointless today.

Byuu, SNES programming God expert and ultimate master, saw what a ducttape clusterfuck it was and set out to finally write something that actually emulated SNES hardware accurately to the cycle and that is bsnes.

It's built for an operating system that hasn't been en vogue since the late 90's and hasn't been updated in over 8 years.

There's literally zero reason to continue to use ZSNES these days.

Your fault for not using the [embed] option to preview YouTube links.

Just man the fuck up, dislike the video, move on.

SNES specs don't change. Since they're implemented and it works. Changes are not necessary.
>>
>>320838460
Are you this dense?

ZSNES is literally the Internet Explorer of SNES emulators.

I can't stop you from using it though, but you are a tremendous pleb if you do.

>Taking Youtube suggestions seriously and getting this assmad about it

I have never ONCE seen a Youtube suggestion that interested me. It's broken for everyone, not just you, so quit your bitching.
>>
>>320838817
The only time YouTube suggests piss me off is when they include blatant spoilers for a game I'm currently playing through.

Yes YouTubers, there are people who don't finish games in the launch week.

It's odd considering having thousand dollar headphones amps and DACs doesn't mean you can hear a difference between 320kbps and FLAC. (protip: there's no audible difference between the two and anyone that says there is one is literally a retard with confirmation bias and a brain that isn't capable of critical thinking)

>ZSNES is literally the Internet Explorer of SNES emulators.
No. IE was famous for not working and full of bugs. zsnes is famous for the opposite.

Same mentality why /mu/ forces itself to listen to CDs of train sounds, the less accessible a thing is the better it is because you are an elitist fuck. Then you go on 4chan and say it's because of some 1% improvement in frame perfect accuracy because that totally influences gameplay in a material way

really? i played super metroid and everything including the audio was superb, maybe different roms

i couldnt play dreamland 3 tho

Again, tell that to Der Langrisser or Star Ocean or SMRPG. All of those games crash mid-game.

What the fuck faggots. I was told zsnes was the best emulator ever by you cucks and when I was using snes9x I got shitposted to high hell. Now you fags are bandwaggoning another emulator? Fuck off assholes.
>>
>>320840602
For one game that doesn't work with my emulator, I have ten games that don't work with your emulator.

You were trolled and too stupid to recognize it. Also, fuck off.
>>
>>320840704
No you don't.
>>
>>320820447
It's inaccurate, old, hacky and for some reason a lot of people use it.
Why use it when there are better emulators? If you have a shitty netbook you can just use Sne9x Next which is fast as hell and still pretty accurate.
>>
>>320840894
This

If you're not using ZSNES for its netplay or to play ROM hacks that only work with it, the last time there was a point to using ZSNES over other options was in the early 2000s because that's the last point in time computers were too shitty to run SNES9x properly.

It's bad because emulators are shit and you should get the original hardware.

While we are talking about emulators I need a good DS emulator

Any suggestions?

>ZMZ is a tool I've been working on for the last couple of months. It combines the GUI of ZSNES with a Libretro backend; this allows people who like ZSNES' interface but dislike its poor emulation accuracy to get the best of both worlds.

128kbps is 100% enough for any human's hearing capability.

>>320829202
Assuming by "no", you mean 192kbps is overkill.

Educate yourselves here if you think otherwise: https://xiph.org/video/

>>320820447

The only advantage ZSNES ever had is that it ran quickly on 90s computers. Now we have snes9x for toasters and bsnes/Higan for everyone else. There is no reason to use ZSNES any more.
>>
>>320820447
Even if it isn't bad, Snes9X and bsnes/higan are better.
