Yes

hes ragebaiting by saying
>this shitty thing? its actually the best thing ever

Yes OP you are correct, but the average /v/ poster these days is a retarded 14 year old zoomer who has no idea what the zsnes is and likely wouldn't even be able to use it without throwing a tantrum

>>716101406 (OP)
bruh this some minecraft aah shit fr

>>716102149
People don't like zsnes anymore?

I didn't emulate for a long time. What happened to zsnes? Dead project?
Still have an install from 2011 that works smooth as fuck

>>716101406 (OP)
Your soul. I'll be making it mine now.

its low accuracy and does have a bunch of errors particularly with sound. but it also does still have a place. its inaccurate in a way that also makes games run better. for example, umihara kawase doesn't have slowdown. there are also mods that are explicitly designed for it which wont run on original hardware

its outdated and inaccurate. higan has near perfect emulation, and plays multiple different consoles.

ZSNES pioneered features other emulators had to play catch up on. It was where I first beat Link to the Past. It's soul incarnate.

>>716101406 (OP)
yes, zsnes was the first really functional snes emulator and it was the clear winner of the emulation race while the system had relevance

i keep running into minor graphical issues on random games like pokemon colosseum or paper mario thousand year door
that shit pisses me off so much

You do realize emulation is stealing and wrong.
How can a crime have soul.
Nintendo the one company that does not deserve to have its games pirated.

For an emulator with that GUI but better emulation there's this: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=details&id=5681
But it seems to be abandoned. Is there any other more up to date emulator with this front end out there?

>play game I own

Retard.

>>716106579
He's merely pretending.

I, too, watched the new video from Modern Vintage Gamer.

>>716106480
Anon that's not an emulator. It's a front-end you can load with cores, just like RetroArch. In fact, it takes RetroArch cores. You can even use NES and GBA cores with it. Just update your core.

>>716101406 (OP)
No? The fuck? It's literally right there in the term "emulation". It's a pretender. A soulless copy. Stupid fucking parasocial zoomer.

>>716106938
>parasocial
This nigga thinks consoles are people

>>716107105
We all know you're here from the Youtube video kid. At least have to decency to own up to it, it's less pathetic that way.

>>716107290
What youtube video? You sound more parasocial than me, schizo.
Anyways, who do you think is the hottest Bloons TD 6 character? For me it's Brickell but Sauda is a close second.

>>716107603
You are pathetic.

>>716107646
hoes mad lol
emulation >>> actual hardware

>>716105572
I start pulling on the controller cords in your "museum" again if you don't stop talking shit, Nintendo.

>>716101406 (OP)
Yeah maybe

>>716101671
she doesnt have anything to say about video games but still feels the need to make posts so she makes an empty off topic thread that is only marginally related to video games
unfortunately all women are like this

>>716101406 (OP)
Sure. SOVL is mostly decided by nostalgia, so if you're more nostalgic for the emulator, it can be more SOVL for you.

>>716101406 (OP)
Zsnes never crashed for me. It had functional UI.

Its kind of hellish and annoying trying to emulate anything past this. TOTK is me saving every 5 minutes because it crashes every 10.

>>716109913
>its kind of hellish and annoying trying to emulate GBA

>>716109913
'Anything' after? The only problems I've ever gotten with emulating any game where game specific.

>>716102494
zsnes is the reddit of snes emulators

>>716111049
Surely you jest

>>716111049
But I've been using it for 16 years.

i have found a weird spiritual and nostalgic side to weed and video gaming, recommend me snes games to play in znes for nostalgia sake while high (inb4dudeweed)

The only shit I want to emulate is the Three Houses duology because of Edelgard and Sylvain, but I'm too much of a retard to pirate games without a handy DAT.

>>716101406 (OP)
First snes emulator i ever used waaaay back in the day.
That UI looks both janky and also full of soul.. quite a weird mix but i have fond memories of Znes

Retroarch has the most soul
