I remember back in the day the emulator Snes9x was one of the best emulators for Super Nintendo emulation, but it's not on the Megathread. Is it no longer trustworthy or was it just missed?

Sorry if this was already asked in this community. I would've searched but Lemmy (or at least my Lemmy instance, I suppose) doesn't seem to have a search function for intra-Community searching.

Cheers.

I had not heard of that, and am not sure I want to..

Near, creator of bsnes/Higan/ares. Their story is tragic.

Oh my ... That's awful. I'm just discovering this myself. Even IGN put out an article https://www.ign.com/articles/near-bsnes-remembrance

Yeah, Near was a genius, too. They invented the MSU-1 virtual expansion "chip" for the SNES, which allows for CD audio and video on SNES games (and with an appropriate flashcard, it can interface with and run on actual SNES hardware).
