So Mesen seems pretty decent for NES emulation and I'll probably try Mesen-S and Higan for SNES emulation. Good enough that I was finally able to beat VS Super Mario Bros on it without using save states yesterday. I have recently started messing around with MESEN on my PC for NES / Famicom / Famicom Disk System / Nintendo VS System emulation and with a wired Retrobit Saturn USB pad it feels more responsive than my SNES Classic booted into the NES Classic kernel does. But it's not great for say Mega Man games, they still feel too difficult on the NES Classic, too many cheap deaths while games used to feel pretty fair when I played them on real NES decades ago. Good enough that I could for once play Super Mario World running the whole time like I did when I had a real SNES in the 90s without constantly dying.
The emulators Nintendo made for these two systems feel way more accurate than any of the Retroarch stuff I used previously on a Raspberry Pi 3B. So how are you guys emulating games these days? I have an SNES Classic that I hacked to be able to dual boot into the NES Classic kernel too, and it's pretty decent. I have been playing the hell out of the old NES/SNES era Dragon Quest games lately, partly because I loved Dragon Quest XI S and partly as Japanese reading practice. I know I can't be the only old fart here who enjoys old school gaming but doesn't have his original hardware anymore. I'm a bit floored there isn't much talk of emulation here.
